What an incredible day. ✨

Today I had the honor of being a guest on Hello Rose City to share the story behind Xo Ink Cosmetic Tattoo Institute, our mission, and the opportunity we’re creating for future permanent makeup artists.

I left today’s interview feeling incredibly humbled. Never in a million years would I have imagined that one day I’d have the opportunity to share my story and my school on local television. Moments like this remind me that God’s plans are always greater than our own. I’m humbled by every door He’s opened and so grateful for the opportunity to walk in the purpose He’s placed on my heart. 🤍

I’m so grateful to the entire Hello Rose City team for their kindness and for giving me the opportunity to share my heart and the mission behind our school. It truly was an honor.

If you’ve ever thought about building a rewarding, flexible, and meaningful career in the beauty industry, I hope you’ll tune in tomorrow on KGW’s Hello Rose City. I can’t wait to share this special moment with all of you. 🤍

Hello, Rose City!
KGW News

There comes a moment when you stop asking, “Could I really do this?” and start asking, “What if I don’t?”

Every successful PMU artists started with no clients and no experience. Just a willingness to learn and the courage to take the first step.

I’ve had the privilege of watching students walk through our doors feeling nervous, unsure, and wondering if they were capable.
Then, week by week, their confidence grows.
They begin mastering new skills, working on live models, and realizing they’re capable of far more than they ever imagined.

That’s why I love teaching. 🤍

It isn’t just about brows, lips, eyeliner, or scalp micropigmentation. It’s about watching someone discover a new level of confidence in themselves.

If you’ve been searching for a career that combines creativity, purpose, flexibility, and the opportunity to build something of your own, this could be the beginning of that journey.
Hands on training paired with ongoing mentorship can make the transition from learning to practicing feel much more achievable.

Your future isn’t determined by where you start.
It’s shaped by the decision you’re willing to make today.✨

If you’ve been thinking about a career in permanent makeup, I’d love to show you what’s possible.

Introducing: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.

This is something that’s been on my heart for a while.
Moving forward, you’ll begin seeing these posts woven throughout my page.
This collection represents so much more than business, it represents the journey of becoming the person God created us to be.
We’ll be talking about mindset, faith, discipline, courage, growth, leadership, overcoming fear, entrepreneurship, and learning to trust God’s timing even when the path isn’t clear.
Because I truly believe that success begins long before the achievement, it begins in the mind.

The way we think influences the way we speak.
The way we speak influences the way we act.
And the habits we choose every day ultimately shape the life we build.

“Discipline will take you places motivation never could.”

Motivation comes and goes. Discipline is what keeps showing up when no one is watching. It’s choosing consistency over excuses, faith over fear, and purpose over comfort.

Every dream worth pursuing will require days when you don’t feel like continuing. Those are the moments that build the person capable of receiving what they’ve been praying for.

Keep showing up.
Keep trusting the process.
Keep building.
Your future self will thank you. 🤍

Your mind is one of the most powerful gifts God has given you.
The thoughts you choose to dwell on eventually become the words you speak. Those words influence your actions, your habits, and ultimately the direction of your life.

When we constantly focus on fear, lack, or failure, it’s easy to miss the opportunities God has already placed in front of us.

But when we choose gratitude over complaining, faith over fear, and possibility over limitation, we begin to see life differently. We become more resilient, more hopeful, and more willing to keep moving forward even when the road isn’t easy.
This is actually something we talk about often in our program.
Yes, we teach cosmetic tattooing.
But more importantly, we strive to develop confident, resilient, and strong minded artists who believe in themselves long before anyone else does.
Technical skill can be taught, but confidence, perseverance, and the right mindset are what sustain a successful career.

I truly believe our thoughts matter.

Speak life over yourself.�Speak success over your future.�Speak peace over your circumstances.
Not because every day will be perfect, but because your perspective has the power to change the way you experience every season.

God didn’t create you to live in fear. He created you with purpose.

Protect your mind.�Guard your heart.�Trust His timing.�Keep showing up.

The life you’re praying for often begins with the thoughts you’re choosing today. 🤍
