This woman is so inspiring. I've been watching her since 2009 and have learned so much. I LOVE makeup and the creativity is allows me to have. Alexandra is a great makeup artist and has inspired me to go for mine. I pray for her continued success. GOD Bless.

Just an amazing story ! I know how easy it is to get caught up in LIFE and forget about your dreams. It is good to see someone going for what they want and not what everyone tells them to do. Wish i could get you here to Denver for a class!

Alex, girl.... um r ah, thank you for this. I'm a 38yr. old woman working in corporate america and I HATE IT!! My dream has always to be an Event Planner and I've host several small events and daycations, but every time I want to plan something big I always get that one person that will say, "Girl, that's too expensive" and naturally I get discouraged. Thanks for your testimony... guess I bess get up and get ta gettin'!! Thanks again!

[@atlhoodbarbie]

i just want to say thank you for that....I live and breath makeup but everybody keep pushing me to be a writer. Although writing is one of my gifts, I dont have the drive to do it like I do make up. I keep asking people if they can teach me to do a full face and I keep getting turned down or high prices per hour. I was about to give up about 20 minutes ago and I saw this and Im like woooowww God thank you for that because he used you to send a message to me so Thank you for sharing!!!
