Through the Eyes of NiSi: Episode 27- ‘Pull Up’

Press PLAY for the 6.22.22 replay

Wouldn’t you enjoy getting your makeup done in the comfort of your own home? Most of my clients like the ability to continue getting ready once they have received beauty services, instead of having to drive across town and get back home…. they can just continue getting ready for their special occasion (or in some cases, I assist them until they walk out the door).

So let’s talk about travel fees and hospitality fees. When you book a vendor, in most cases, they have to travel to you and get back home or to their office. Think of what all goes into operating a vehicle; gas, maintenance, oil changes, tune ups, insurance, tire rotation, car payments, etc.; all of these things have to be considered when one travels to clients. Travel fees mainly cover gas, however if we travel for a living, we have more than the normal wear and tear on our vehicle. So when you you see a travel fee on your invoice, and you’re only 15 mins away; remember if I didn’t have a car, I wouldn’t be able to get to you at all.

Hospitality Fees, for me are incurred when I need to stay overnight due to having to arrive early or due to leaving late. It is also is incurred when I’m traveling over a period of time; meals may be included in the hospitality fees. For some vendors, you may not see a travel/hospitality fee because you have received a blanket amount due. Personally, I don’t do that because the blanket wouldn’t be fair to me if you are further away or your cost will be too much if you’re closer to me. I have to put me first and be at my very best to provide you with services. If I have been up since 6am and I am leaving your reception at 8pm, I deserve a room, lol. Because of how I service my brides and are there with them from the morning til the time they’re shaking a tail feather at the reception, making sure they’re picture ready; I need to rest before I drive back home if I need to travel a ways to get to you.

#StayAtHome Makeup Tutorial & Thoughts

Hey beautiful people!!

I hope this message finds you well and in good health. If inot, hopefully this gives you a little motivation to help you feel better. When you look good, you feel good.

This is a crazy time that we’re experiencing in the world and we’re all learning our new normals of getting through our day to day. We all started experiencing the start of a new normal around the beginning of February. We are now living a not so funny April Fool’s joke and trying not to go stir crazy from being in the house day in and day out. This has been a rough few months, in February, my mother was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (a rare blood cancer) and I flew home to be by her side as she started her first rounds of chemotherapy. In March, I lost my full time and part time jobs, as well as makeup clients postponed their appointments due to COVID-19. It’s been tough but we’re all in this together so let’s make the best of it. Just in case you are looking for someone to help: $NiSiMUA

Although we’re under orders to stay home, make use of this time and be productive. Take time to love on the people who matter the most to you and make the best out of each moment, make these memories flawless.

During this time, here’s what’s kept me busy:

-Netflix, Hulu and Philo

-Quality time with family over the phone

-Poetry (click HERE to see my most recent piece I was challenged to write with the theme #DearSurvivingWorld)

-Updating scripts/poems that I’ve started and beginning new pieces

-Makeup tutorials (See recent video below)

-Workout/ changing eating habits

-Cleaning/ Organizing around the house

Those are just some of the things keeping me from having an idle mind. What’s been keeping you occupied?

Here’s my #StayAtHome makeup tutorial, unedited.

Have makeup that you have no idea what to do with it? Contact me and let’s do a one on one #MakeMeOver makeup session and get you ready for freedom when Corona ends.

Be safe. Enjoy this time. Stay beautiful.
