Eventually I had to cut back on traveling from model and acting jobs to spend more time with my young family who wanted mom at home. I needed my children to have more quality time with me.

It took about 2 Years of my sister constantly talking to me about what she was accomplishing in the business, to catch my attention, long enough to suggest attending my very first Market America convention in North Carolina. 

Everything changed at the convention, when I witnessed the exciting energy, the incredible love and team camaraderie from the members.

So many people, from all walks of life, come from all over the world. It was electrifying and I was intrigued.

After the convention I was encouraged and surrounded by my sister and her team to look into the business and explore my love for all things beauty and skincare. I started exclusively to use all Motives Cosmetics products to see what the buzz was about.

I was impressed by the quality of the products and the exclusivity to cater one on one with my friends, and eventually clients. I realized that the business had immense opportunity for expanding and an option of making it my own, plus work from anywhere I chose too; which would enable me to have more time with my  family.

Motives have completely changed my life for the best, through Motives I have a new calling and talents. I knew I was good at applying makeup, but I never knew that I could tap into it until Motives opened the door to be creative through cosmetics. By using the products, it led me to sharing with family and friends, which led me to realize that I was good at makeup artistry.

I started demonstrating Motives Cosmetics on friends using all Motives, which turned into referrals form others who wanted me to do weddings. I now have a new career as a freelance Makeup Artist at 54 years young, which has introduced me to a whole new network of people. 

I can work from anywhere in the world, but most importantly working from home at my own time, which gives me the ability to control my environment and time management.

This is a team effort, and each member helps to achieve a common goal, which is truly special and a blessing in the beauty industry. 

Partnering with Motives and Lumiere De Vie has allowed me to serve my clients at a higher, specified level with the best quality products on the market catering to their needs in person and virtually all over the world. The ability to teach like-minded entrepreneurs to implement proven business techniques.

The door of opportunities has opened up for me, through doing makeup for brides, glamour shots, teaching, speaking engagements and travel. 

Motives have given me a new career, time, new perspective on life, broke down fears and helped me realize that dreams do come true.

I am just beginning!
