I DID IT 💅🏼✨

After months of feeling like I’d never get there, I can proudly say I’ve officially passed my State Board Nail Tech exam!

I finished my hours back in May 2023, but with my classic procrastination habits, I kept putting off taking the exams. I almost gave up a few times (I'm definitely the queen of leaving things incomplete), but I finally pushed through.

✨Theory, took me 3 tries, but guess what? I PASSED!

✨ Practical, First try, and I nailed it!

This is just the beginning though, I’m not stopping here! 💅🏽💜 Big things ahead, and I’m ready for them! Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way — BIG S/o to my partner for always supporting me 💕

Skinny fat -> toned (how I did it!)

#1 Pay attention to your nutrition! High volume foods, high protein, limits treats and eating out, find foods you enjoy! #2 Begin strength training 3-4x per week consistently and push yourself with the weights. #3 Be patient! It is not a fast journey, this takes months and even years
