Kismet Beauty Lounge

"All for the love of beauty" is what i answer when someone asks me why i do what i do for a living. My name is Kasia and i am a WORKAHOLIC, lol.. ok so maybe u don't find that as funny as i do but it's the actual truth! And if im correct the first step in AA is accepting the truth and to not live in denial. So there it is... after years of close research and foot pain from working 12 hour days i have finally been open,honest and admitted the fact that i am married to my career! Now do you understand why i got divorced 2 years ago???!!! LOL. ok all jokes aside ( but remember there's always truth in everything someone says) now that i admit i choose my career over my relationships let me begin to explain why....
I've been at Enve Salon for over ten years now. I get ready for work everyday and think to myself "i wonder if i'll ever feel what some of those other people feel?" I hear people talk about how much they hate going to work, how they have the case of the "mondays" ,and how they can't wait for the weekend because they don't have to go into work. I feel bad for people like that. well i know the answer.. it's been the same for almost 12 years..the answer is NO. The thing is, when you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not saying that what i do is easy...it is still "work" and therefore because i work hard i play hard too ;) We all need to find time to relax so that we don't let work consume us. As with everything in life...it's all about balance.
I choose what makes me happy every morning. I want to get the most out of the one life we are blessed with. So this brings me to what i wanna introduce next. Dreams, wishes, wants, desires are all possible if you work hard and never give up. i gave up once tho and thought i wanted what i chose to be the "normal" life like most people. That normal life made me 50% happy not 100%.. so i decided to make changes and get back to focus on what i knew and loved... my life in the beauty industry. I went back to working 70 hours a week, flying by the seat of my pants, traveling more, sleeping less, meeting new amazing people at hair shows (where i felt like i was FINALLY normal, because i was with other crazies just like me!, lol). Since the day i started at my first salon i dreamt that one day o would own my own...and well....*big gulp* I DO!!! Phew! that was more heart dropping then when i said "i do" on my wedding day, LOL LOL!!
I don't know if u knew this or if you read my blog about my 30th. Well for years now i've always been excited to turn 30 because i felt like something BIG was gonna happen. I used to think i'll get married, or have my first baby, or buy a house...but never did i think my dream of owning a salon would be IT! I learned throughout the years that if you work hard and follow your heart...your dreams actually do come true <3
so, i'll leave on that note for now (mainly because i'm gonna be late if i don't stop typing right now,lol) When my client leaves i always say to them "to be continued..." Til next blog my dreamers and believers.. Mad Love always and forever!! Dream Big and Work Hard!
P.S... The salon is called Kismet Beauty Lounge....cute huh?? lol ;)
