What exactly does this mean?  For a while, I didn't know myself but over time it began to reveal its meaning in and for my life. For me, it means living intentionally. It was finding and aligning with my purpose and allowing myself to live it out unapologetically. It's embracing imperfections and allowing room in your life for growth, grace, and self-love. As a business, it means that we are focused on transforming the traditional standards of beauty by promoting grace, acceptance, and self-love. It's about taking small, meaningful steps towards embracing and celebrating individual beauty, both inside and out. At Shinkah's Beauty Bar, we aim to empower and inspire others to redefine beauty on their own terms. How do you redefine beauty? With grace, and in allowing yourself to be forgiven for your many shortcomings and learning to forgive and grace yourself. Beauty is a gift, no matter the capacity. It's definitely where my heart is but I never allowed myself room to grow in it. Self-criticism led to comparison and self-sabotage. It's frustrating to know what you should be doing but not doing it. I allowed fear to hold me back. There is so much beauty in being your most amazing and authentic self, doing what you were placed here to do and allowing grace and faith to lead your life. It's not just about makeup or skincare, it's about living in your purpose on purpose so that someone else inspired by your walk can be encouraged to walk in theirs.
