HAPPY 10 YEAR CANCERVERSARY TO ME!💐🩷🙏👑🎀

Life after breast cancer…it’s a chapter in my life, not the whole story!

I can tell you that you’re never the same after the storm. Those days were hard, I cried everyday! I focused on surviving for my daughters, put my head down and found strength I didn’t know I had.

There’s life before, and life after a diagnosis.

And that’s the beauty in learning this new version of yourself.
Grateful for each year that passes!

I love who I am today!
I’ve learned that life truly is short, so enjoy everything you can!

You have a favorite pair of shoes, wear em!👠
Favorite purse, use it!👛
Favorite jewelry, put it on!💍
Don’t let the beautiful things sit on a shelf to be admired. 🎀

If it makes you feel extra, be extra! Never apologize for being too much.
The right ones will love you for it!
To my hubby, all my family and friends who fought with me, thank you for support and love!

⚠️THESE ARE TATTOOS!⚠️ Please read⚠️

My client is so happy with how these turned out. It’s been a journey.

I initially did her tattoos several years ago and she had to have another surgery where the tattoos got removed.

So I told her I would tattoo them back on for her. And better than before!

As an artist I love to hear the gasp of surprise that they turned out so beautifully! Never gets old!
Plus I love the new inks I’m using! Thanks 🩷🩷🩷😘

In all my years of mixing color, I have never had this happen. Was just about ready to mix pigment and when I look in the cup is a perfect little heart and circle! ⭕️ 💕

It looks like a when a barista designs the top of coffee. Lol

It’s the little things! Was deep in convo with my client about loved ones. 🩷

Photo dump! Had a great time at Bottega Exchange with More than Just a Pink Ribbon! I loved the charcuterie boxes!

Lots is inspiring conversations with survivors and discussing topics that need more attention!

Thank you for the support of my mom and dad, brother and sis in law, of course my hubby! I appreciate you being by my side thru that journey. Love you all so much!
