Choose What Defines You
I’ve always been interesting in cosmetics. As a child, I would go into my mothers makeup and smear lipstick all over my face and spill nail polish on the carpets trying to paint my nails. And yes there are pictures. Getting older I would watch my sisters do their makeup and then watch youtube videos on it too. After graduating high school I was lost. No direction of what I wanted to do with my life. With a gap year not being an option, thanks to my mother, and not wanting to sit in another math class again I turned to what I loved most cosmetics. Cosmetology was daunting. Hair is definitely not my forte but skin was different. And with that I knew what I wanted to do. Not thinking twice I enrolled in esthetics

I begin my rhythm as all my thoughts slowly fade as my hands glide across their face. As they still sleep on the bed I get ready for extractions, I'm sure they will wake up soon enough. As I press, clogged pores begin coming out of their skin, as gross as it is it's like a game to see how much can I get. Next up high frequency, serum and mask. They question, “Why are you doing that?” “What's in that?” “Why is that good for my skin?” Can't you just fall back asleep? I liked you better then I think to myself.
Like Rose’s mother, Rose, I need to take care of customers physiological needs even if I have my own to worry about. The sense of touch is found to be therapeutic. This can often lead clients I'm working on to open up to me about stress they have in everyday life or big events. I've found that people don't usually want advice but just someone to listen and vent to. I celebrate or grieve with them as I comfort them through touch, more often than not without speaking at all.
As with most things in your life you need to learn to work smarter so, ergonomics becomes key. Not only in your work space but posture as well. If I don't adjust the height of the bed or chair to be ergonomically correct I'll be slouching or reaching my arms too far. In turn this will tire me out and cause further problems down the road. Not to mention I’m in a time crunch, I have a set time it
The moment I got out of elementary school I jumped right into makeup. I have had an immense amount of passion for makeup ever since. Throughout middle school, when I was asked what I wanted to be I always had a different image. I kept changing my mind, ranging from wanting to become a counselor, a physical therapist, and others. Finally, I realized that makeup is something I always had a passion for. The moment I decided I wanted to become a makeup artist and be involved in the cosmetology field, nothing else interested me. My passion encompasses all beauty fields within cosmetology. When you do somebody’s makeup, hair, or complete a facial you can see the joy and excitement in their facial expressions. The exhilaration of doing people’s makeup and their
My interest in cosmetology and hair began to develop when I was around ten years old. I have always been in love with hair and makeup, and when I was ten I was finally old enough my stepmother brought me to the shop for the first time, and from that day forward at ten years old, I knew that this was my dream. Although I knew I loved hair and makeup, I knew that I had grown up wanting to be a teacher. Being a teacher is what my grandmother did, what seemed like the perfect occupation to pursue, something to go to college for, and the more stable and reliable option.
3. Ergonomics. This scientific discovery is valid. By applying the knowledge involving changing your workspace around to reduce awkward positions, the slumps in you shoulders and neck are reduced. Don't forget to invest in a logical work chair that is designed to support your back while keeping your feet flat onto the deck.
A person’s identity is shaped by many different aspects. Family, culture, friends, personal interests and surrounding environments are all factors that tend to help shape a person’s identity. Some factors may have more of an influence than others and some may not have any influence at all. As a person grows up in a family, they are influenced by many aspects of their life. Family and culture may influence a person’s sense of responsibilities, ethics and morals, tastes in music, humor and sports, and many other aspects of life. Friends and surrounding environments may influence a person’s taste in clothing, music, speech, and social activities. Personal interests are what truly set individuals apart. An individual is not a puppet
I have spent much of my life trying to define who I am. I defined myself by family, friends, and even things I did. These definitions went through changes — they still do. I defined myself in relation to others (Dr. Morris’ kid), characteristics about myself (neat and clean), and even things I did (read a lot). As I grew, these definitions grew too. However, the three things that define me most are: I am saved, I am a Republican, and I am gay.
Touch: touch is a very powerful means of communication. Lightly touching a person’s hand can convey your concern and affection for them. But as with eye contact, the touch has to be appropriate, and there are important cultural issues around touch that need to be understood. It’s also important that patient/clients give permission for you to touch them, something we looked at in more detail in
These methods of communication allowed Mike to be empowered and promoted his autonomous decision making (Abdelhadi & Drach-Zahavy, 2012). Laura’s ability to successfully empower Mike during this physical assessment through the means of communication alone proves her effectiveness and furthermore highlights her compassionate communication since she worked towards ensuring he had a right to autonomous decision making. This compassionate care was further enhanced via the means of therapeutic touch. By using this in conjunction with verbal compassion, Laura was able to convey a caring demine, overall improving her communication skills with Mike (Chang, 2001; Doherty, Wright, Aveyard and Sykes, 2006; Kraszewski and McEwen, 2010). Here, touch was used in a non-necessary empathetic emotional sense (Routasalo, 1996) as Laura placed her hand on Mike’s shoulder and studies have proven that the presence of touch promotes holistic comfort, attention and positive attitudes (Chang, 2001; Routasalo,
I like your post because I don't even share the entire same opinions as the other cultural people; because that is what makes each individual unique in our own way. It is easy for me to get along with people from immigrant family and of different cultural and I must say I owe it to by diverse and multicultural background (I was born here in the United States, but I grew up I England and Nigeria; my mother is a Briton-Nigerian and my dad is a Nigerian-American). I always like to think that that gives me upper-hand with the way I view things and appreciate others; especially the ones that feel like they are outsiders, and yes, everyone now and then I get cultural shock every now and then (you can read my original post to see why). My sister
When it comes to ergonomics, engineering is the best tool to use. The company can use many different resources that can help them to eliminate the stresses causing MSDs (musculoskeletal Disorders). The NIOSH article publication Manual Material Handling (Ergonomic guidelines for manual material handling (DHHS [NIOSH] Publication No. 2007-191) gives some great example for engineering control of ergonomics when it comes to the work place. Examples from the article include rearranging, modifying, redesigning, providing or replacement tools, and equipment to name a few (NIOSH
I pursued beauty as a career because I wanted to make people feel beautiful and confident about themselves. I’ve always wanted to be in a career field that involved working with people and helping people. I went through so many career choices including: physical therapy, marine biology, or nursing. One day in high school I did make up for a friend’s prom and the way she smiled and the confidence she had made me realize that I wanted to see that look on everybody. I wanted to bring out people’s confidence and inner radiance. I enjoy creating art, using my hands, and helping people. The beauty career field is one of the best places to combine all of these things.
Sometimes a person may feel that they have no purpose in life. Finding out who you are just takes the time of sitting down and thinking of the importance in your life. Who am I? I am Mercedes Kimberly Kingston, and I am a person with different personalities, characteristics, and identities. The many ways, in which I identify myself, in fact, are the ways that define who I am. My Identity is something only I can fully define. I have a little brother, which makes me a sister; I have two loving parents, which makes me a daughter; I am in college studying medicine, which makes me a student; and I have wonderful friends in desperate need of support, which makes me a wonderful best friend.
School, to me and among many peers of my age, is not a distant term. I have spent one-third of my life time sitting in classrooms, every week since I was seven years old. After spending this much time in school, many things and experiences that happened there have left their mark in my memory. Some are small incidences while some have had a great impact on me. However, regardless the degree of significance, things that happened all contributed to shape the person that I am now.
There are three very important aspects that play a major rule in my life. They can be categorized as intellectual, social, and spiritual. My intellectual self is interesting because I am mainly right-brained which means that I tend to use my creativity more than my mathematical skills, also making me a visual learner. My social self consists of friends, family, and my surroundings. I spend most of my time at home with my family. Whenever I am with my friends, I observe their behaviors and listen to their opinions. I am more of an independent type of person. Being with different people has influenced me into appreciating different cultures and beliefs. I have learned things that have now been incorporated into my own set of beliefs and
ERGONOMICS: Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, equipment, and workplace to fit the worker. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability.[1]
When I look in the mirror I know whom I am, but society makes it difficult to understand who I am, because I was born to immigrants of Nigerian descent, and I am a first generation American, that term is sometimes used so loosely. By looking at my name they assume that I am from some island, but I am so quick to tell them that “I am Nigerian”, there is another statement that normally follows this. “You do not have an accent”. I wonder if I had an accent would I be considered Nigerian and not American; then I say that “My parents are Nigerian” and then that changes, so to them I am just associated with the Nigerian culture it does not make me Nigerian, there has been many discussion between my friends who are the same like me confused to
