First week of cosmetology school down ✅

Hopefully this week will be a lot better, I’ve been researching ways to help my shoulder pains, there’s not much I can do for fractured spine pain however besides taking breaks from standing when needed!! I think I just need to be kinder to myself and remind myself that not everyone has learning or physical disabilities like I do so I shouldn’t compare myself to others so harshly :)

... Read moreStarting cosmetology school brings a mix of excitement and challenges. In the first week, I learned foundational skills like color theory and even tackled real projects such as root touch-ups and partial highlights. While dealing with chronic pain, I've discovered the importance of self-care and patience. Coping with physical limitations like a fractured spine can be tough, but I’m learning to celebrate each small step forward. The social aspect of school is rewarding too; meeting peers who share the same journey transforms the experience. Navigating a rigorous curriculum while managing health issues can be difficult. However, this experience has taught me resilience. Engaging with classmates allows for knowledge sharing, fostering a supportive environment. Understanding that others also face obstacles motivates me to prioritize my mental and physical health. As I continue my journey, I hope to inspire others dealing with similar challenges to keep pushing forward despite adversity. Sharing stories in the #Diary and #chronicpainawareness communities helps create a network of support and encouragement.

Is cosmetology school worth it? absolutely! If this is a career you see yourself doing and you love making people feel 10x better, it’s worth it. 1. it’s not easy. it’s not just playing with hair and slapping some color on. it’s science, it’s math, it’s making sure you know everything you can
