Nine years ago this month, I graduated from esthetics school. This National Esthetician Day, I’m looking back at how much of my life grew from that one decision. 🩷 I started with a tiny suite, building my clientele one appointment, referral, and relationship at a time. I created my own products, grew into my own location, and generated $154,000 in revenue within my first 12 months in South Loop. While I was focused on being a good esthetician, I was also learning how to run an entire business. Sales, inventory, client retention, finances, marketing, operations…if something needed to happen, I had to figure it out. No department to forward it to. I was the department. That experience helped me break into corporate sales and operations. I moved from Chicago to Phoenix, worked with SkinBetter Science at L’OrΓ©al, then Colgate-Palmolive’s skin health division with EltaMD/PCA Skin. I got to experience the industry from inside the companies whose products reached treatment rooms like mine. to be continued πŸ’« Happy National Esthetician Day. 🩷 #NationalEstheticianDay

The last line, I agree. the consequence I’ve probably considered most in situations regarding this is having a mf away from me. however I gotta make it happen, I’m down

She preaches non-violence. πŸ˜‚ so act like an adult, take a few minutes to let the anger subside, voice your feelings and be done with it. Self control above all. My thing has been, as long as I’m clearheaded and aware of consequences, then it’s all fair game.

those were rhetorical questions tbh. bottom line is we don’t get to tell anyone how to react. all we get to decide is whether we will be around them or not. Personally, i love ppl with strong boundaries around respect.

this is something @Redd_InDemand has always done whenever we all get together. ❀️
To all the millennials out there, i suggest watching old music videos before you go to work like we used to do before school. it’s healing.

couple questions: β€’how are levels of disrespect measured? β€’whose metrics are these? β€’looking foolish to who? β€’looking dangerous for/to who?
Replying to @saintbvnny
it’s cool to act angry when someone has done something hugely disrespectful, but when it’s about something petty, you look foolish at best and are possibly dangerous at worst
