I had the absolute honor of attending the Maddie G & McKenna makeup master class in Nashville, and let me just say it was a literal dream. 🤍 I’m feeling so inspired and incredibly blessed as I bring the best of the best back to Lash & Blade in 2026. We’re growing, traveling, and doing all the things to make sure my brides and clients receive nothing less than their dream glam.
I couldn’t believe it when two girls recognized me and said, ‘OMG, are you Lash & Blade?’ 🥹 A moment that truly made my day.
I am beyond excited for this next year. If you’re a bride, make sure to get on our books for the ultimate luxury bridal experience I promise you won’t regret it. ✨
And can we talk about the models for the class?! The stunning Haley Sluss & Chloe Holladay💋
I cannot wait to continue investing in my education to ensure Lash & Blade always delivers the very best.

✨ If you would’ve told me in my 20s that my skin would look BETTER in my 30s, I never would’ve believed you. ✨

This is my real bare skin in my 30s and I truly believe great makeup starts with great SKIN. 🤍

A huge thank you to Shelly at Lush Esthetics for helping me get my skin to where it is today, and of course, I do my part at home with a consistent skincare routine.

You can buy the most expensive, luxury makeup in the world, but if you aren’t taking care of your skin, your makeup simply isn’t going to look the way you want it to. Your skin is the canvas. ✨

So many of the “AI-looking” photos clients bring us as inspiration have one thing in common: beautiful, healthy-looking skin. And while makeup can enhance your features, skincare is what creates the foundation for that flawless, glowing finish.
Invest in your skin. Find a good skincare regimen. Be consistent. Your future self will thank you. 😘✨
