Oh, heyyyyy!
There’s a part of me who wonders if blogs are still relevant in this fast-paced digital world. However, I firmly believe in the power of thoughtful and informative writing. I just know there’s a community of humans who still value writing and I’ve always wanted to do this, so why not skip the wait and dive right in? Who needs a “new year” to chase their dreams anyways?
Let’s dive in… I'm Amber! As of a few weeks ago, I turned 32, and boy, does time fly! I have one human kiddo, a sassy Calico kitty, a “jolly” Old English Bull dog and a partner in love (my man, my man, my man). I have always been passionate about helping people, boosting their confidence, and the beauty industry. Interestingly, as a child, I had a skincare routine unlike any other kids I knew. When I began feeling burnt out from working a 9-5 in the Behavioral Health industry, I was on the hunt for a career that could reignite my passion. That’s when I discovered Esthetics. While studying for Esthetics, I worked behind the scenes at a spa, hustling to and fro with laundry, booking appointments, and serving the ultimate refreshment menu: cucumber water, hot tea, and coffee. I even whipped up foot baths (for other peoples clients). And all while, I was daydreaming of the day I’d have my own clients and my own spot to call the shots. At last, I completed the Esthetics program and started my career. For 6 years, I hustled and learned every nook and cranny of the Esthetics industry still dreaming of my own. And guess what? It's not just a dream anymore! As of April 2023, I officially launched my own baby, Awakening Beauty & Skin (ABAS). YAAAAAASSSS!
ABAS symbolizes more than the words on the banner. It’s the culmination of my experiences, my dedication and determination to empowering individuals to embrace their unique beauty and unlock their inner confidence. My goal is to create a space where everyone feels welcome and included. But let’s be real here, my main objective is to be relatable. This community is for all the fierce, fabulous women out there hustling, trying to make things happen, but sometimes it feels like the world is conspiring against you. You're juggling work, family, and friendships, all while trying to squeeze in some much-needed self-care.
Ahhh don't worry, I'll keep my blog posts short and sweet, packed with helpful tips, and maybe even a vent session or two. This website is my playground, and I'm thrilled to have you all along for the ride! Thanks for sticking with me, and let's keep the conversation going!
