🇨🇦 From competitive cheer to competitive tattooing… who would’ve thought?! 🥹✨

I am SO proud to represent Canada at the WULOP 2026 World Finals in Antalya, Turkey!

It’s pretty surreal to think that the competitive side of me that spent years in cheerleading is now finding its way into a completely different world. Different skill, different stage, same desire to challenge myself, keep learning, and see what I’m capable of.

And this time, I get to do it in my absolute favourite areas of permanent makeup: LIP BLUSH. 💋

Even more special? My best friend gets to be my model. 🥹 Having someone I love so much beside me for this experience makes it that much more meaningful. I can’t wait to share this adventure with her!

Competition has always been a way for me to push my own limits. To test my skills, get uncomfortable, learn from the people around me, and discover where I can grow.

…But the older I get, the more I realize that the result isn’t the most important part; It’s the LOVE of the skill.

The opportunity to keep challenging myself in something genuinely lights me up.

The competition is an incredible opportunity, but getting to do what I love, at this level, surrounded by artists who share that passion? That’s the real gift. ❤️

Let’s go, Team Canada! 🇨🇦

Not all powder brows are created equal. 🤍

A skilled artist knows that powder brows aren’t about making the entire brow one solid block of colour; it’s about using gradient to create dimension!

We build the most density where hair naturally tends to be, then gradually spread those tiny pixels of colour toward the fronts and tops of the brows. That gradient allows the colour to melt seamlessly into the skin as it heals — creating a brow that looks soft & natural, yet with a noticeable improvement in shape.

Would you believe she had NO tails in her natural brows? DM me if you want to see her before we gave her powder brows!

My client came in for her perfection session today and said the phrase I hear all too often:

“I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner!” 🥹🥰 taken in Barrie, Ontario by @kickdouble

I’M GOING TO WULOP 2026 WORLD FINALS REPRESENTING CANADA IN THE LIPSTICK TATTOO CATEGORY. 🇨🇦🌎

… It still feels a little surreal to say that.

Going into @wulop_canada , I made one promise to myself: do my best work, stay present, and trust that everything else would unfold exactly as it was meant to.

I knew I had prepared for this, I knew what I was capable of, and I knew I didn’t need to control the outcome — I just needed to show up and do the work.

There was also a little extra ✨magic✨ in the timing… 🃏

I’ve been quietly learning about Cardology, and my card for competition day was the King of Spades — a card of self-mastery, discipline, composure, authority, and leadership.

I didn’t take it as a prediction. I took it as a reminder:

Trust yourself. Master your craft. Rise to the occasion.

And then… I came second. 🤍

The artist who placed first is incredibly talented and absolutely earned her win. She won two categories that night, but can only compete in one during finals… she chose to move forward in Shaded Eyeliner — which means that I now get to represent Canada in Lipstick Tattoo at the World Finals.

And honestly?

I’m ready.

I know the work I’m capable of. I know how hard I’ve worked to get here. And I know this opportunity is mine to step into.

To everyone who made WULOP Canada possible, to my incredible model, and to everyone who supported me along the way — thank you.

Now it’s time to take it to the world stage.

Oh? And that King of Spades day… It was just a little preview of what’s to come… Because tomorrow is my birthday, and I’m stepping in a whole YEAR where the King of Spades is my long range, most influential card.

I am standing on the threshold of something great. I can feel the magic of it all ✨ taken in Barrie, Ontario by @kickdouble

Do I wish I had some friends who could jam out with me and make this cover more exciting? Yes.

Does it feel good to whip out my synth and sing my favourite @grimes song solo? Also yes. 🤘🏼

Team Canada JuCO 🇨🇦 Worlds 2025 🌎 A magical experience with my first-ever Worlds team 🥹

The way this group rallied together to put their BEST run of the season on the floor for day 2 of worlds is something I’ll never forget. They were so determined & united… It’s a special kind of experience that doesn’t happen with every team.

They ended up placing second in the World, and I honestly couldn’t be more proud of them. I wouldn’t change a single thing about this experience, but I will take everything I learned from it and make next season EVEN better 😎

Much love to all of you who were a part of the JuTO/JuCO 2024/2025 season 🫶🏻 Let’s meet up at the same time next year! 😎

Thank you @ontariocheer and @cheer_canada for making this experience possible! 🥰

I am so thrilled to be back on this field with some of our Province’s best athletes 🥹

This is the first year we’ve had the opportunity to build a Provincial team, thanks to the incredible humans over at @ontariocheer ♥️ We have learned SO much this year, but the program has already been a massive success… Our athletes achieved their goal of being selected by @cheer_canada to represent our Country at @intcheerunion Worlds!

Transitioning over from coaching All Star to ICU has been such a positive experience for me because I love coaching clean, crisp skills. I have particularly enjoyed choreography and stunt skills clean up on this side of the cheer world… It is a challenge to take athletes from multiple all star programs and get them to approach skills in a way that is often different than what they’re used to, but this team has been SO receptive to feedback and have worked together so well! They’re looking awesome 🙌🏻

No matter what happens when we compete later this week, I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with this team. These kids are soooo wonderful to coach & their progress in such a short time has been incredible… Especially considering the fact that they are juggling multiple high-level teams, on top of the regular school/life commitments of 14-18 year olds!

I love all of these cheer children & can’t wait to watch them take the floor at Worlds! 🥰

That’s a warp on the 2023-2024 season with Eclipse although we didn’t end it the way we wanted too. We left our hearts out on the mat. A big thank you to our coaches for a good season with Eclipse.💙🖤💙🖤 by @kickdouble

Self-reflection is hard! But, as Aristotle once said: “knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom”.

…Mom and Dad say that I might have a little further to go on the path to wisdom, but they are confident that one day, I will be able to recognize the man in the mirror. 😌
