A few years ago, I had been an entrepreneur for a year, and my items were more seasonal. I did hand knit scarves, and accessories. I had a friend that sold makeup on-line through a direct sales company that I have heard of before, but I never tried it. When I found out I was pregnant, everything changed. Suddenly what I was putting on my face mattered, and the ingredients of everything from soap, to toothpaste to food mattered. I never really thought about it much until an article came up in one of my pregnancy apps, and then I started looking at the makeup I was wearing. Why hadn’t I done this before?! Some of the ingredients were super scary, especially the ones that had been labeled to cause hormone interruptions. How can a growing baby grow right if I’m putting things into my body that do that?! It freaked me out. Now I’m not saying that you can avoid every little thing marked as bad, or questionable, but if I knew about it, I could at least be educated and decide. So I decided to have a makeup overhaul. Slowly I started changing the basics, and as I became a presenter as well, I added new things into my makeup arsenal, and I started learning a lot. One thing that my friend told me was that I had to go Live and do make-up demonstrations. I was so nervous about that. What?! Go live?! ME?! And do my makeup, where everyone can see my face without it?! NO way! But I did, and it changed my life. If you would like to check out this awesome makeup check out this link here and here.

When I started going live, I had no self confidence in it. I had never gone live before, and wasn’t sure what would really happen. I just knew that I was freaking out because no one ever sees me without make up and now I was going to show them on purpose. What if no one watched? What if, what if, what if, kept popping up over and over. As I did more and more, it got to be really fun! I even started looking forward to going live, to show off my newest skill I’ve learned and to say Hi to everyone. Then something happened. I became comfortable in my own skin without even realizing it. I stepped through the fear, and had turned into a butterfly without even realizing, until I flew.

If I hadn’t become a presenter, and started doing lives, I wouldn’t be where I am at in my own business now. I got the confidence to really become my own boss, and to own it. Now I go Live every Monday am with a friend with No makeup on, and it goes to YouTube. All thanks to makeup, and my friend that believed in me. Thank you Danielle ♥
