    Today I have a new guest on the podcast – beauty blogger and photographer Makeup Just For Fun. Amanda and I have a conversation about why she was seeking a community and purpose when first starting her Instagram in 2016, how her love of photos eventually turned into a career as a photographer, and working with brands on exciting collaborations.
