Minimalist Beauty is my lifestyle of simplicity and freedom that incorporates organic beauty and cosmetics, eco-friendly fashion and extremely chic style, simple living, and pursuing creativity. I am a professional dancer, jewelry designer, model, and pure lover of life and the planet who has also worked in one of the largest beauty retailers as a consultant. I always wanted to be a journalist, yet my passion for dance won the battle. Minimalist Beauty is my way of doing both.
