(pronounced Ya-feh-LEE-chay)
The journey into the world of beauty began for me at about 4 years old with a pink lipstick and redecorating some furniture with it. I can still see those pink swirls and I’ve been fascinated by beauty products ever since. Product experimentation began around 12 years of age, oh the trials, mistakes and fun that was had. Thanks to my mom, my first beauty inspiration for never hiding her products from me and introducing to the importance of beauty rituals. Inspiration was found in the artistry of makeup and soon discovered the application of products was soothing and calming to my always active mind. Yes, there is the visible change on the outside, oh what a lipstick can do so easily, however there was an internal shift too. The affirmative transformational powers these lotions and potions can have on oneself, confidence and positive state of mind are amazing, nothing short of MAGIC!
It’s that magic that I’m so enthusiastic about and want to pass on to others. I believe that self-care is not selfish, the use of makeup is to enhance your natural beauty, (or disguise unwanted dark circles and spots when needed) skincare and SPF are important parts of skin health. Time applying either one is dedicating time to your overall health and well-being. YOU are an exquisite being just the way you are – I’m humbly here to help you create or fill the gaps in personal care rituals and maybe even assist in the discovery of your inner Goddess. Because once found, it’s the gift that keeps on giving long after the makeup is washed off.
With almost 30 years in the beauty business, it’s not an obsession but a heartfelt commitment to supporting, uplifting, and inspiring others. It just so happens that beauty products are the tools I use to do it. I’ve worked on national campaigns with the government of Canada, represented brands live on-air like Viviscal on the Shopping Channel, and ShopHQ (US) appeared as a beauty expert on TV across the country, worked on photo shoots, videos and beauty brand trainer and sales rep. I’m dedicated to sharing my expertise and knowledge, cut through marketing hype and find amazing beauty products that deliver results.
