Today Iโm thinking about the students in our schools โ the ones learning art, science, and teamwork; the ones discovering their passions; the ones just looking for a safe place to grow.
The Des Moines Public Schools bond is on the ballot today, and itโs about giving these kids the spaces, tools, and resources they need to thrive.
When we support our schools, we support our children, our teachers, and the future of our community. ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ! Every vote matters โ letโs show up for them! ๐

This incredible woman runs her own business in a male-dominated industry, works in roofing ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ as a home inspector (with a background as a roofer herself!), and is a single mama raising a wonderfully energetic little boy โ sheโs basically ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ in my eyes! ๐ช๐ผ๐
She wanted a natural look that โwonโt wipe off when Iโm sweating on a rooftop.โ You got it, Wonder Woman! ๐๐ผ
By following her natural brow pattern and bone structure, I created a shape that adds definition yet softly frames those ๐ด๐ต๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ blue eyes! โจ
Sheโs an inspiring woman building a life & legacy for herself, while showing up fully as a mother, daughter, and big sister. If I can take even one small thing off her plate each day, Iโm truly honored to do so ๐

I donโt think Iโll ever forget the look on this modelโs face when she saw her results. ๐ฅน
This sweet soul took care of me through my first pregnancy โ with so much tenderness, attention to detail, and the kind of humor that always left us both laughing until we cried! But life wears us down sometimes, and I could sense her light had dimmed a little since Iโd last seen her.
I wanted to give her beautiful brows. However, more than that, I wanted to give her that light back. To help her see herself the way I see her: Sheโs sharp and hilarious, in a sneaky, quick-witted way! But she also has a gentleness about her. Sheโs warm and real. Vulnerable, and easy to let down your guard with. She cares about others and is always building them up โ but she doesnโt save any of that generosity for herself. Working within her natural shape, I added definition and elegance with a hairstroke technique.
Watching her face soften as she looked in the mirror at the end of our appointment โ that moment was everything. We both quickly wiped away tears as she finally saw the woman Iโve always seen. She told me this is going to change how she shows up in the world. And that was more than I couldโve hoped for ๐
You are the best, my dear. I hope this helps you radiate that quick, confident, smart, beautiful, and fun woman thatโs always been there. โจ

When I asked this model about her goals for permanent makeup, her first words were: I just want to look โdone.โ And as a fellow mom to young kids, girl, I can totally relate!
She came in with her natural brows intact and admitted she just wanted to look a bit more polished, feeling a little ashamed that she doesnโt do more to โkeep upโ with them. I assured her I neglect my own brows too โ because, letโs be honest, we have much more important things to take care of! But thatโs the beauty of permanent makeup: adding shape and definition keeps you looking polished while life keeps moving!
Instead of creating a completely new shape, this session was all about defining her natural brows โ adding subtle enhancements while keeping everything natural and effortless. We did a Combination Brow, with delicate nano hair strokes in the front and soft definition with a powder ombrรฉ technique through the rest.
I was thrilled to see how this graceful, natural-looking brow framed her face perfectly, highlighting her features and bringing out the stunning shape of her big brown eyes! When she looked in the mirror at the end of her appointment, she said: โThis is exactly what I wanted!โ ๐ฅฐ
I love that this amazing, working mama can wake up for the school drop off line on those rushed mornings, and feel just as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside!

Every woman has her own reason for wanting permanent makeup โ and I could definitely relate to this one!
As a fellow millennial who grew up influenced by the eyebrows of Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani (thanks, early 2000s! ๐), she was ready to reclaim what that decade took from us!
As a busy working mom, she didnโt have the time or inclination to fuss with brow makeup every day. She was clear from the start: she wanted to keep it subtle and natural. Anything but โdone upโ! And while she was excited about the ease and efficiency of permanent makeup, there was one person we really had to impressโฆ Her pr***en daughter at home โ the toughest critic of them all! ๐
Using the natural structure and anatomy of her face, we designed a soft, balanced shape that filled out her brows and complemented her already โจstunningโจ features. It was so rewarding to see how a little gentle definition could enhance all of her natural beauty!
Sheโs thrilled to have her brows back โ and Iโm extra happy to report that even the pr***en is impressed. Phew! ๐โจ
