ReplyDeleteI totally disagree with the statement "You can't do both choose one." I heard someone say " Thinking you can't wear silver and together is closed minded''. I feel the same way about hair and makeup thinking that I can't do both is being closed minded. I do both hair and makeup and I am passionate about both no one can change that or force me to conform to their thinking. I'm gifted, am I supposed to suppress my talent to fit in? I think it'd a double standard, what about the music artist who act, actors who sing, or athletes who not only play but brand themselves. I think I'll continue to purse what I love. I AM ME! and I absolutely love what I do. -HS/MUA
ReplyDeleteI believe that you do should not have to pick between the two or more talents that you have. The beauty industry is a full circle....so I feel that you are more valuable if you are a double..triple..or quandriple threat.... We as humans don't just walk.. we walk, talk, & do hundreds of other things...so why choose ? Besides, who would'nt want their name by everything ...
ReplyDeleteI believe that is a bunch of garbage. It's believed by a lot of people, that in order to do something to it's fullest, you have to dedicate yourself to it whole heartedly. The thing is, if you're really goood at both, why not do both? We live in a society that prefers labels, and ONE label if you can be so kind as to make it easy on their one dementional minds. Stay true to you and use as many talents as you can. It's been working so far and you're happy. The worst that could happen is that you'll have to become your own power house. But then...people will be signing with you.
