After doing tons of research and using my own funding to start it, I took a big chance. God gave me the idea to go ahead and create your own and pay for it yourself. I invested all my savings and made it back in 2 months after introducing my first scent.
Currently my goals are increasing brand awareness. Skyn Culture Clinical Spa is a one-of-a-kind clinical aesthetic center that combines medical aesthetics, education, and privacy. Skincare has always taken the back seat to hair and makeup. My primary goal is to bring skincare to the forefront and show that glowing skin is just as rewarding as bouncy hair.
I am always on the lookout for professionals who can support my growing clientele, i.e., business owners. I network quite a bit; I make cold calls to other professionals who can support my clients’ development and post consistently on social media with entertaining estate planning stories.

I walked into his shop one Sunday afternoon with Marissa from @tavola_rosa after an event we hosted at Bella Cucina and I immediately loved the energy he exuded. Brandon’s authentic and witty personality seemed so well translated in his handcrafted work. Every hat looked like a piece of art. We talked about food, fashion, dreams and decided right there to reach for the stars by creating a hat collection together.
Read MoreThe best way to look your best in the summer is by wearing colors that bring out the beauty of the season. Colors like Coral, Red, Pink and Blues are perfect for this time of year.

Read MoreWhen women and people in general know that you have had the same struggles as them, they feel less judged and more supported. Instead of always looking picture perfect or that you have it all together. It’s better to say, “I have had difficult moments as well, but I still get up every day with a smile on my face with one question in my mind, how can I bring joy into this world today?” When women know that you are not just another pretty face, but that you are human just like them and you care about their growth, they will gravitate towards you.
Read MoreI learned from teachers, friends, and my patients. I am lucky enough to witness almost every day someone conquering their fear, their pain, their illness, or loss and rise again. ALL sorts of Phoenix birds.

Read MoreQ: As glamorous as being an Instagram influencer looks, what are the biggest struggles you’ve found with this line of work?
The biggest struggles I face are time management. With being a full-time student, having a part-time job, and being an Instagram influencer, time management can cause many issues. My boyfriend, who is my photographer, is a full-time student and has a full-time job. I have to check his availability to align our schedules for a shoot day. I have tried to balance everything, but I stress out a lot for trying to grow too fast.
