About beauty and harmony
It seems to me that every girl has her own difficult history of relations with appearance. Before, I didn’t like everything in myself: nobody canceled youth complexes, but I think everyone needs to go through them. I can not say that now I live in complete harmony with my body, but I also no longer feel like an ugly duckling. Now for me, beauty is a state of harmony in which a person wants and can realize their potential. It is important to love yourself - for me it means to love your work and not to ignore the desire. Tattoos remind me of this: I made them in the fall as a sign that I would do what I want and the way I feel.
About care and dog
My skin is unpretentious, so I did not have to meet with a lot of cosmetics. Accordingly, the daily care is simple: cleansing, toning, moisturizing cream, sometimes serum is added to this list. In the evening - night masks and soothing oils.
The most important part of the day for me is morning. My two obligatory rituals besides face care are strong coffee and a walk with a dog. My dog wakes up at the same time with me, no matter, at eight in the morning or twelve. Morning for me is a time of pleasant and unhurried trifles and the ability to recharge your mood. I really miss running, yoga and other meditative activities, but lately after work I only have time to work a little more and fall into bed, sometimes even washing off my makeup (yes, I don’t see any problem).
About make-up and blonde
I don’t mind decorating, I just don’t use it: I don’t imagine experiments with makeup on my face. I need cosmetics to maintain a healthy color and overall skin tone. True, eyelashes and hair is a separate story. Any mascara is peeling off my eyelashes, so I solve the problem with a build-up. Hair also had to go through a lot, but despite this I love my silver blonde. It symbolizes the new stage of life: I said goodbye to the career of a PR specialist and became a tattoo artist.
Naturally, any blond requires great efforts both to maintain color and to preserve the health and quality of hair. Honestly, this could have been to throw all my free time, because the next nourishing mask simply cannot be superfluous. Sometimes there is no time left for it, so I learn to relate more easily to the grown dark roots and the washed shade, although I used to consider it a complete disaster.
About tattoos
For almost three years I have been doing tattoos - before this I graduated from a programmer and worked in PR for five years. Eighty percent of our life is spent at work, and in chronic workaholics like me, it’s all a hundred. Can a person doing an unloved business feel in his place, perceive and evaluate himself worthily? I definitely could not.
I consider tattooing to be a modern way to emphasize natural beauty. I personally pay special attention to fitting the picture into the body geometry, its harmonious arrangement - especially when it comes to ornaments. This can not be neglected at all, because you make a pattern for life, and all the prospects for body changes should be taken into account. But even these important details go into the background when you just realize that you are fulfilling people's dreams and making them feel beautiful. And no bruises under the eyes and back pain after the six-day work week will make me give up what I'm doing now.
