I feel like 2019 is just starting, but in reality we’re moving into the 7th month — meaning we’re over half way done with this year. If you recall, last year was my first official year doing only freelance makeup artistry. So you can only imagine how exciting this year has been.
Business Highlights:
Signed with Directions USA as a hair/makeup artist
Got my work published in Elle Magazine for their July issue.
Worked with Madison Iseman on a personal project in LA.
Helped host the 2019 NCHMUA Summit with Sam.
Went to NOLA for a class with Latia, working with Gregory Arlt and Romero Jennings.
Personal Highlights:
Moved into a brand new apartment with Viv.
Visited San Deigo with Ethan.
Primitive Camped in Angeles National Forrest.
Spent tons of time outdoors near bonfires and with friends.
Finally feeling a rhythm to living in a new city.
I’m looking forward to working towards my goal for the later half of the year. Those include traveling to Atlanta, DC, and possibly back to LA again in the winter for some transitional things. Also, focusing on being more present in motherhood and enjoying the place I am at in it. Building and cultivating relationships with like-minded individuals. Continue to grow my beauty work in my portfolio while working on new projects with friends. Focus on separating weddings into a whole new section of my business.
Do you guys have any goals for the rest of the year? If so, I’d love to hear about them. Feel free to comment below, or drop me an email at ashleywattsbeauty@gmail.com.
