Why am I here? Well honestly, my sister bullied me. Now let me explain, she's not mean I promise. I've always love being creative and what a good way to be creative? The beauty industry, so naturally I've always like everything beauty. I remember when I turn 12 and my mom finally said I could wear makeup on special occasions! I had some cheap eyeliner, runny mascara and of course a basic blue, grey and white chalky eyeshadow pallette. I use to do "make overs" on my sister and myself then create photo shoots with hair, makeup and even outfits. It was cringy but that's when something clicked for me. I loved the beauty industry. As I continued to do random make overs and makeup for holidays, my sister got to the age of prom. You can imagine how excited I was. I did my sisters makeup and hair (one time I didn't do her hair) for every prom. As I was doing her last prom I started tearing up, not just because my sister was in her senior year but because it would be the last time I'd do makeup and hair like that. The feeling I would get as I watched her light up feeling beautiful made me realize how much I love this industry. I told her how I was feeling. She then looked at me and said "I've told you... go to cosmetology school" I gave some lame excuse why I couldn't and we went on about the prom day. My sister continued to "push" or "bully" me throughout the summer. Finally she got to me and in the fall I started looking. That's how I ended up at Bella Capelli , I want to see people light up with joy like my sister did every prom day.
