Today we’d like to introduce you to Laurel Enright.
Hi Laurel, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I am currently a licensed esthetician and beauty blogger. I auditioned to attend Orange County High School of the Arts when I was 14. I went there for 3 years and met some amazing friends that I still have 23 years later.
I became an esthetician in 2019 and worked at Ulta for almost a year before opening up my own business. I was ready to open and then the pandemic happened in March and everything closed. I tried everything I could think of to try and stay open, but I just didn’t have the funds. No PPP loan because I had no employees and I didn’t qualify for any help through my city because my business was too new.
I joined a Facebook group with other beauty professionals that were encouraging each other and they gave some helpful tips. The one I took to heart was adding a blog to my website to encourage traffic. I didn’t save my business but my beauty blog took off. If you would have asked me if this is where I would end up after the pandemic, I wouldn’t have believed it.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
There have been a lot of lessons in money management and finding out who people really are when you are at your lowest.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My blog started out as just a skincare focused blog because I am a licensed esthetician. I would give advice based off of experiences I’ve had personally with my own skin issues and with my clients as well. What I am known for and what sets me apart from other lifestyle bloggers is my take on beauty.
I believe that you can incorporate science and your beliefs into your life and skincare routine. I encourage my readers to romanticize their lives even if it’s in the smallest way. Sometimes it’s a mindset shift, other times its lighting a candle and watching your favorite show that can be a form of self-care.
Any big plans?
Right now I am just enjoying the ride. I am going to events and meeting new people and just seeing where that takes me.
