Hey Nelli

Small Island. Big dreams. Bigger God.

It’s probably redundant now, but every time I return, I understand the assignment a little deeper.

To come back and pour from the cup that was filled while I was away chasing those dreams… that is a different kind ah blessing.

Also, 𝙑’𝙜𝙝𝙣 this song! I play this snippet everyday since he posted the teaser. It’s a prayer, an affirmation, a testimony and a praise to the Most High. Patiently waiting for this release. 🙏🏾

Grenada, Mama, thank you for always receiving your daughter with deep love, remembrance and divine medicine. 🇬🇩

Baby, one thing about me, if I have some information that I know will make someone’s life easier, I’m sharing.

And one of my favorite parts of teaching is watching the moment the information finally clicks or that moment when the theory moves through the mind, into the eye, and finally settles into the hands. That information becomes embodied knowledge that never leaves you. That’s the type of Beauty Education that propelled my Artistry, and it’s what I always aim to deliver.

Beauty Education to me is more than just teaching techniques and theories. It’s clarifying the why behind every decision:
- why this product?
- why this tool and not another?
- why one technique works and another doesn’t.
- where and why to practice restraint
- where does this face needs structure?
- where does it need softening?
- what feature are we highlighting?

Because good education doesn’t just show you what to do. It literally changes the way you see, think and create. And that’s the type of Beauty Education I care about - the kind that stays with you years after the class is over.

I don’t think I ever just knew ‘I got it’.

What I knew was I had a gift, the need to create a pathway for myself and my daughter, confirmation through a dream (literally) and enough friends and family encouraging me to nurture this gift. I knew there had to be something here worth cultivating. And if I was going to pursue this, I wanted to be one of the best to ever do it. 🤷🏾‍♀️

So, I sat in rooms with artists better than me. I chased education and elevation. I practiced ALOT. I invested ALOT. I messed up and came back better. I kept nurturing and refining the gift until my hands could finally carry what I God had already shown me.

Looking back at those first faces beside the work my hands create now, I don’t just see improved technique.
I see stewardship. I see what can happen when you refuse to bury what was entrusted to you.

And I know harvest isn’t fully reaped yet.
Matthew 25:14–30

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to white, I have serious trust issues.

So before my makeup gets anywhere near my white shirt, I spray it generously with Infallible Setting Spray, almost like I’m using starch, then let it dry completely before putting my shirt on.

I use the same spray to set all over the face, focusing on my chin, neck and chest (if i applied makeup there).

Face stays flawless and my shirt collects no evidence.
Have you tried this beauty hack before? Or will you be trying it so you can wear your white in peace?
