After graduation, I went off to cosmetology school. I worked in a few salons and then trained to be a hair replacement technician in Atlanta, GA. I worked diligently to hone my skills in the hair loss and wig industry for 13 years. 

In between all of that, I had two children and moved to Charlotte, NC into a large home with very little furniture that was basically a blank slate. At this point, the internet was finally picking up speed. 

When my youngest child started school, I enrolled in floral design school and while I was figuring out how to make my floral arrangements look somewhat presentable, I found Pinterest.

I found a secret online world of bloggers who, just like me, loved to ramble on about up-cycling and creating beautiful spaces. I found a home. I found my people! 

I immediately created the Made in a Day blog in 2011 and started posting my floral, DIY, and thrift store makeover creations. 

Next thing you know, my designs were getting noticed by my peers. Major companies I only dreamed of working with were emailing me. With stars in my eyes, I was hooked and never looked back. Fast forward to now. I’m living coastal in a 1950’s bungalow in Los Angeles, California (a little girl’s dream come true).

As for my love of hair, well that has come full circle for me. I am now the one with hair loss. After years of rubbing two hairs together to make three. I took the plunge and started wearing hair toppers (and maybe a wig or two). You can read all about my journey on my new blog Wig Revival.
