2020 redefined what we thought was normal, and moved many of us into the online space in ways we previously hadn’t participated. Today’s guest had long been positioning herself for an online only transition. Not because she saw a pandemic coming, but because her global clientele sought her services, and she found working virtually to be a better fit. 

Kristen Arnett is a former International MUA with 2 decades of experience working around the world on fashion shows, ad campaigns, with celebrities, and also a lot of women over 40. She took her skills as a green beauty educator and MUA and began creating online courses, offering virtual consults, and most recently launched an online membership called the Healthy Beauty Oasis geared towards helping women over 40 embrace their beauty and aging. 

This leap to becoming a full time online artist and educator didn’t happen overnight, but Kristen shares some key tips for those looking to follow in her footsteps. She also shares some of her favorite green beauty products  that are kit worthy and you won’t want to miss.

Have you dabbled in content creation as a beauty professional, but you're not quite sure how to make it a sustainable part of your business or income? Today's guest is Meg Workman, a hair and makeup artist and salon owner in Charleston, SC. Meg found herself working crazy hours trying to meet her financial goals, and then when COVID hit, she had to rethink how she was going to generate income (and passive income was also a goal!) when she wasn't doing services. She embraced the role of content creator and is finding a nice balance in what her online and offline offerings bring to the table.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but even worse, to be caught off guard! So this episode is a BSA (beauty service announcement) around the possibility that we could be headed for another lockdown-ish situation and how to prep now. Included are three main ways you can supplement your income using free online technologies or apps. I hope I'm wrong about a second lockdown, but in case I'm not, be sure to listen and create your own Plan B.
