Beauty By Mike Update!
Hey there Beauty B's!
A few years ago I was a young guy from Virginia who packed up for a very special city that literally gave me butterflies every visit I took as a child. That magical city was called New York and it's where I found not only my passion for Beauty, but more insight to being gay and the beauty of freedom I felt in New York. I not only moved there to find myself and to chase my dreams of acting, and fashion, but I was also there to find LOVE. Yes my Beauty B's, I was that person who was in love with LOVE and New York City before I was hooked to Sex And The City or flocking there like others who dreamed of being Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha, or Miranda. Now I won't lie the show and the movie did inspire many things in my life but I already had the itch for it before knowing I was a Carrie. So with that being said I bring you to my exciting news.
Beauty By Mike will continue to go and grow with products, reviews, beauty tips, and encouraging others with mental health issues to keep going and to learn and love self care, and themselves again. The good news is while I am no longer in the city I thought would give me the career, the fashion, and the LOVE I wanted I was wrong to think and hold myself back as OUT OF THE BLUE I literally had my first Carrie Bradshaw moment and that's when a Beauty Blog(https://www.brandefy.info/ ) found me loved the advice, passion, and personality I had and have started having me do product reviews for them. Now I can't lie it was late in the morning when I was writing my first review and literally I had to pause because as I sat there with my glass of wine, and reading glasses on it was my first OMG I am having my first real Carrie Bradshaw moment. The next day it hit harder when I got a little positive feedback and had my review edited and published. I honestly can say it was that moment it clicked, that not only did I love beauty and being someone to give great advice (influencer of the everyday people) but I just hit a stepping stone in a city that I ran away from and for three years have been while battling depression not thinking any of my dreams and passions would come true. I can't lie it gives me hope that maybe there is a happily ever after after all the darkness one goes through.
Lastly, I am sorry I have been MIA for a while. I want to celebrate and share another great accomplishment. While battling my depression an option for school fell into my lap where I could do my classes all online and still work, and try to work on things a little at a time. I can proudly say after attending college originally for theater, then fashion merchandising, I stuck it out and got an Associates Degree in Health and Human Services. Now it wasn't easy and there were days I thought I couldn't do it but I did and I know that others out there can too. So what would I like to do you ask? Well beauty is my true passion and I also am someone that wants to help others in the LGBTQIA Community particularly focusing on HIV. You see HIV is much more controllable these days but I really want to work to bring light to things such as Dating a positive person when not positive, and also working with the Bi-sexual and transgender community as the numbers are greatly growing for both. I want to really focus also on the mental health side as to what HIV can do to you mentally and how we can help others with the mental struggles that can come with HIV. Just to be clear this includes those of us in the community that keep using the word CLEAN or judging someone based on their status before you have the real story.
So Beauty B's I myself have been working silently behind the scenes not only on school and career but myself and building a new squad (every Carrie needs a strong inner circle of Charlotte, Samantha, and Miranda, while having other friends also but being just a selective with the outer rings as you are with your inner.
Gotta go Beauty B's as I am doing what Paris Hilton has done and on the Search for not my best friend but my BEST SQUAD will you make the cut (=
xoxo Beauty By Mike
