About Us
A wife, a mother, and a great career, at least I thought so. One day I took my blinders off and realized that my marriage was not one of love, support or partnership, but one where I was constantly controlled and belittled by a narcissist. During this awakening period, I not only created a plan of action to leave, but a plan to become self-sufficient. I knew I made enough to take care of me and my boys, but the cushion from his salary would be missed. I decided to leave the night he tried to have me arrested because I had his cell phone and would not return the phone that I paid for. Fast forward, there were several events that happened which helped to confirm that my decision to leave was for the best because ultimately, someone was going to go to jail or worst. While I was trying to cover the internal scars, I was able to cover up what I thought others saw on the outside. Makeup helped me to get back to my place of healing and constant reminders of what I was once told: “you’re ugly”, “no one wants you”, “I’m the best you can do”, “you’re going to need me before I need you” and more things that I’m ashamed to say out loud; ultimately, lipstick and eyeshadow saved me.
