I am professional! (sort of..)
Les Temps Nouveaux received its first check last week! Woo Hoo!! Thanks to the generosity of my friend Chrissie, I have a whole $30 towards the biz. I recently used the money to purchase a wonderful Mac product called Studio Moisture Fix SPF 15. Now all I need are drones of understanding friends on which to practice...takers?

The journey from hobby to business
First things first, I have a LOT of hobbies. Here are the ones I can think of at the moment:
1. Make Up Application
2. Guitar
3. French
4. Exercising
5. Snowboarding
6. Dancing
7. Personal Finance
8. Crafting
9. Fashion
10. Cooking
Obviously, these hobbies take up a lot of time and give me a good reason to surf the web for hours on end. While I focus on one hobby a week (focusing meaning obsessively becoming involved in this hobby before dropping it like a hot potato), certain hobbies have stayed with me and grabbed my attention for more than a nano second. Make up application is definitely one of them. I have loved applying make up since I was young. I can remember getting ready to go snowboarding with all my sixth grade friends and the most important part was applying white eyeshadow and eyeliner. While blinding to onlookers, my friends and I perceived this to be the "cute snowbunny but rad snowboarder" look. As I got older, I realized I LOVED putting make up on other people as much as myself. After Rebecca asked me to do almost her entire wedding party, I realized that I didn't suck at it. Hence, I am starting the (hopefully) long process of creating a business. This will be the story of my journey.
