#Throwback The masterclass I attended featuring

#Throwback
The masterclass I attended featuring @jordanliberty in Toronto was nothing short of amazing. Jordan is a multi-talented artist who really knows how to think outside the box. He is incredibly skilled yet so humble. He is direct, to the point and unapologetic which I love about him. I was in awe watching him work from beginning to end.
Day 1: He did two live demos, on two completely different models. He demonstrated two full makeup applications and ran through his whole photography process. He showed us the importance of doing makeup properly before photographing it. He not only shared his favourite go-to skin prep and makeup products but he shared which camera, lenses and lighting he uses daily. I got so much value from day 1.
Day 2: We had an intimate hands-on class where we each brought in our own model. I was fortunate to have my gorgeous friend @emmaabarr take the trip up with me. We spent the day working on a few different looks, utilizing the techniques he demonstrated on day 1. The class was small so we were able to interact with Jordan and ask him lots of questions.
We were given creative freedom to do whatever makeup look we wanted. Jordan gave us each tailored feedback, positive and constructive. When he saw my final look, he said he was very impressed and encouraged me to do more editorials. He even asked me if he could take a video of the look I created. He then posted it on his instagram story!! @loraccosmetics also shared my work on their story! I love staying current and I love learning from other talented artists. It’s also important for me to invest in the right education to help me continue to grow as an artist. I took away so much that I’ve already implemented. I can’t wait to attend another masterclass!

I wasn’t going to make a public / formal post ab

I wasn’t going to make a public / formal post about this because I don’t feel the need to justify or explain myself on my decision, however I know many of you have followed my journey and have been extremely supportive and invested in it.
I have also been a pretty open book when it comes to my life. The last three or so years have been a big part of my journey that I want to take notice of.
I have made the difficult decision to close my studio @laboutiqueottawa In short, the timing felt right, and I was also feeling exhausted having to manage the studio as well as everything else within my business. I was at a crossroads where I knew I had to either scale up or pull back. I chose the latter. I also felt in my heart that this chapter was coming to a close.
It has always been important for me to acknowledge the not so glamorous parts of my path. I wanted to share this decision with you all because so many of you have made this space what it has grown to be. La Boutique has been a very special place for me and many others.
It has gotten me through some of the toughest times in my life. It has also been a space where I have had the most beautiful experiences. It has allowed me along with other creatives to have a space to express and create the most beautiful art. It really opened my eyes to my potential and to so many new unimaginable possibilities.
I never thought I would be running a content creation studio - during a global pandemic, no less, but it comes to show that if you put your mind, heart and soul into something anything is possible.
Thank you to everyone who supported and believed in La Boutique Studio.
It would have never made it this far without your love and support. I appreciate each and everyone of you.
Oh, and yes, I will be continuing to do makeup, so don’t worry! I’m not giving that up!
For now, I’m going to take time for myself, focus on me, my health, and just take some time to enjoy my life and rest.
As for my next step, to be honest, it’s the first time in my life where I don’t have a concrete plan. And I’m OK with it. But when I do, I will be sure to share.
Love you guys,
T.

We live in a time where if we aren’t busy, we feel we are not being productive. It’s almost celebrated to be in constant hustle mode.
Coming from someone who has worked hard all of their life, I’m learning to slow down. Like really slow down.
I think it’s important for us to take days off from work, from social media and from people.
I’m also learning to not put so much pressure on myself to have things figured out. I think we subconsciously do this for other people more than anything.
We feel obligated to keep people in the loop of our every step. Not everyone deserves access to our next move.
Let’s try to work smarter not harder. Learn to play the long game. Work in silence let success be your noise.
Don’t forget to make time for you.
Take time to rest. You deserve it.
Happy Sunday. ❤️

I got it from my mamma 😍 👩🏼‍🎨
Fun fact: My mom is a graphic artist by trade. She went to school for graphic art and ended up landing a huge job as an art director before she even finished college! She is extremely talented and I love looking at the work she created over the years. She’s worked with many different mediums and mastered many of them.
She ended up raising five kids and ultimately, her art kind of fell to the side. To be honest, I never had the conversation with her as to why she stopped doing her art. Maybe I’ll ask her the next time I see her. I think computers taking over in some capacity with digital art didn’t help matters.
I guess you can say it’s in the blood. I use to draw a lot when I was a kid but makeup artistry quickly became my true love and passion. Fortunately my art is something I do to make a living. It’s also a medium that won’t be taken over by computers, thankfully. Having a skill set / art form that comes from the human body is rare and it’s something I do not take for granted. Especially with this new wave of AI technology.
God given gifts are something I will always cherish, honour and celebrate not only in myself but in everyone. Share your art, share your passions -no matter what people say or think.
“Don’t die with your music still in you.” - Wayne Dyer.

All I can tell you is, it’s worth it. Being brav

All I can tell you is, it’s worth it. Being brave. Putting yourself out there. Following your heart. Letting down your walls. Risking failure. Exploring new opportunities. Choosing courage over fear. Giving yourself a chance to discover what’s out there in this world for you. Even the stories that don’t end in happily ever after - they’re still worth telling. The pain you feel as a consequence of being a tender hearted human in a messy world. The hope that sometimes ends in heartbreak. The really hard parts of living. It’s all worth it. Loving is worth it. Feeling is worth it. Trying is worth it. Not holding back. Not minimizing yourself or your dreams. Not always taking the safe and easy road when your heart is pulling you in a different direction. It’s worth it. You’re worth it. Time is fleeting and your energy is sacred. Don’t deny yourself the chance to truly live.

When I used to be in modeling, I was made to feel

When I used to be in modeling, I was made to feel that certain things about me didn't quite fit the industry mold.
I was never skinny enough.
I was never pretty enough.
I didn’t fit into any of their boxes.
Admittedly, I was bitter toward the industry.
I wanted absolutely nothing to do with it.
Anytime anyone would ask to take my photo the answer was absolutely not.
Because of how the industry made me feel about myself and my body, I always avoided anything to do with modeling.
It can be exhausting to be judged on what you look like all the time.
When I was young, it seemed that the modeling industry perpetuated unhealthy eating habits and body image for women consuming these images outside of the industry suffer as they’re constantly comparing themselves to something that is unattainable.
It was apparent that women were supposed to be seen and never heard.
Having a constant visual affirmation of what is deemed physically desirable for a woman is a toxic cycle that only those at the top of the modeling and fashion industries have the power to change. Until then, we remain victims of this pressure.
I wanted to free myself from the hold this industry had on me.
Seeing a variety of female body types is not only more representative of women everywhere, but it’s also empowering.
This empowerment is exactly what the modeling industry lacks as they’re too focused on achieving perfection. We need to stop chasing perfection in a one size fits all society and embrace our differences, as it is these differences that make us all beautiful.
This image of what is feminine is constantly sold to us and despite knowing these women do not look the way they’re perceived online, it’s difficult to digest. Seeing how women are perceived on TV, social media, and advertising – reinforces this ideology towards our bodies.
It’s safe to say we’ve been through a lot.

VIDEO #5 OF ‘WEIRD WEEK’ 🥴🙃
Me doing my makeup while being in a shitty mood. Lol
Today I woke up and felt like crap. I was tired, kinda sad and to top it off, it’s literally -1000 outside. The last thing I wanted to do was show up my socials.
I almost didn’t film because I just didn’t feel like it.
But then it made me think.
We all have those days where we don’t feel like doing something but when we push against that resistance and do it anyway. There’s always a positive feeling at the end of it.
Sometimes I don’t feel like doing something whether it’s create content or do any sort of work, but we still gotta show up, even when we don’t feel like it.
Not every day is going to be sunshine and rainbows and I don’t think we see enough of this side of people. ESPECIALLY on social media.
So here I am showing up as I am today. Not candy coating my mood to come off better than I actually feel.
I was truly annoyed the entire time. I also removed my makeup the second I was done filming this. Lol
I hope this resonates with you and I hope this makes you feel not so alone when you feel like poop.
Also, what did you guys think of ‘Weird Week? Do you want me to do this once a month?

BODY UPDATE 💪🏼🔥
Hey guys, here is an update of my body and overall health & fitness journey.
I will preface this by saying, I am no professional in this area, but I do have a good base knowledge when it comes to nutrition and physical activity.
I have been coaching with Alana since September of 2022 and this is where I am at today.
Hiring a coach has been a really big help in terms of me developing a healthy relationship with food. (Which I have always struggled with.)
Now, I am not implying that everyone needs a fitness / lifestyle coach in order to reach their goals however, having someone there to keep me on track has been paramount for me.
There is by no means a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to any health journey but I think it’s important to find what works for you as an individual.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about my personal journey.
Feel free to contact Alana if you have any specific questions.
Coach: @alanajewelss
Metrics:
Current Weight 143.7lbs
