Gabriella Simmons

Hola me llamo Gabriella Simmons. I was born in Atlanta I am a wife, dog mother of one, a godmother that’s obsessed with all things beauty. Currently living in Minneapolis, Minnesota but I travel a lot and bounce around between Arizona and Georgia. When I am not being a gypsy during baseball season (along with being the worst baseball wife in history) I love experimenting with cleaning hacks, staying up way too late watching tik toks, tending to plants, and keeping up with snack trends or being a toxica (Duh I’m Latina). I love testing out different beauty rituals along with exploring the ever-changing world of beauty. I like long walks down the makeup aisle and love learning. I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none.

Makeup + Training

I am a makeup artist from the Atlanta, Georgia. My makeup journey began when I attended Industry Makeup Academy in Atlanta,Georgia. I was trained by Ebony Miller in 2015. I also attended Next. Level. Artist in Long Beach,California where I was under the mentorship of Emily McKim for hair design. So essentially than mean I style hair I do not color or cut hair! In 2017 I was trained my lash master Elysee and specialized eyelash lifts. In 2018 I continued my love for makeup in Atlanta and learned special effects makeup once again at IMA! As an established artist I have been published few times. I still take makeup clients but I have limited availability. Currently booking 2021- 2022 brides in Atlanta!

Blog

I’ve had this website since 2016 and used it as a makeup portfolio as I traveled too much, had a kidney transplant decided to take a step back and take care of myself. As time went on I wanted to do more with it my website, I attempted blogging a couple of times but lets be honest after several failed attempts I felt like I couldn't find my voice or commit to the idea of blogging. My mind always wondered if people will read my blog or what would people think or what if they don’t like it. Along with some commitment issues. Fun fact my top longest relationships have been my marriage + costco membership. So almost five years later, here I am and feeling like I running fresh out of f*cks to give and just want to share my thoughts on beauty, life, wellness and more! I guess better late than never. Not going to lie it has taken me a long time to muster up courage to share my opinions and wild thoughts. It feels like everyone is a blogger but after some consideration at the end of the day I want to shed light on things from my perspective, share the random knowledge and what not. In all reality I want to make a impact even if its a very small impact. What can you expect from my blog? There will be a weekly post, most likely a 5-10 minute read maximum because we all have things to do, places to be and people to see. At the end of day I am not here to change anyone, just a girl with lots of thoughts. Launching soon May 2021!!!
