hello from the netherlands

hi all

i found out about this page today and thought it would be fun checking it out .
let me start bij introducing myself
my name is ashley and im 25 and from the netherlands
iver been a dreamer all my life so i have allot of passion and things id ike to do, but im also very realistic .
so if it doesnt seem doable i wont even start it
atm i work in a callcenter and ppl call me when their internet or their phone is dead
since i was 14 i wanted to do nails and when i was 19 i finally started it
it started realy slow , never got around tofind myself allot of customers but im happy with it , i have learned allot and i thhink im pretty good qt it , since everyone at everycorner in the netherlands is doing nails its unlikely to grow at this point.
in febuari we had carnaval and that means allot of facepainting
i did my moms face and mine and everyone including me loved it
because i do nails some tecniques i already knew so it was a little easier
it did ignite a fire i knew was there but never did anything with it since i was focusing on nails only
now my plns are to do make up and facepainting /grime
looking at some courses around , only want the best .
i hope i get allot of replies , i love to get in contact with more of you and have allot of advice

talk to you all soon !
