We’ve always tried to ask the questions that matter but that are too awkward for people to ask their friends, family and coworkers without seeming dramatic. One of those questions is about mission and purpose – when’s the last time you asked a friend what their mission was? Too often we don’t talk about our own missions and don’t ask those close to us about theirs with the result being that our missions remain secret. Are you just a doctor or are you a doctor who wants to be there for patients in the way you wished your father’s doctor had been? People have incredible and meaningful missions, and we hope our conversations asking folks about their mission can inspire more such conversations in your life.

At the heart of my mission lies a deep commitment to elevating the standards of the permanent makeup industry. The world of PMU operates within a landscape that lacks uniform regulations, a concerning trend has emerged in the permanent makeup industry, with new artists hastily establishing “PMU schools” without the necessary experience and expertise. While this may seem like a shortcut to success, the consequences can be detrimental for both the instructors and their students. Read more>>

The average consumer is now three generations removed from agriculture and now more than ever questioning the environmental and health effects of how their food is grown and produced.
