Envious Lashes founder Clementina Richardson has tended to the fierce fringes of one Ms. Naomi Campbell and Mary J. Blige.  Julia is a longtime fan and I just experienced her lash treatment the other day and was impressed with her precision and customization of the perfect lash effect. I tapped the lash expert to share her 5 rules.

Never give up!

Aim to be the best you can be, in all of your endeavors. Hard work pays off, and no matter how successful you are, there is always room for improvement.

Read Lindsay Ellingson’s 5 Rules. 

Family first!

No matter what hardships you face or disagreements that may arise, family should always stick together. Friends come and go…You know the phrase blood is thicker then water.

Find time to take care of yourself:

Being a women over 40 it is extremely critical to take care of your skin. I exfoliate daily, cleanse my face twice daily, and avoid the sun like the plague. I also find time to work out at least four times a week. Developing a fitness routine will help keep you looking young, healthy, and give you the energy to conquer life’s everyday tasks.

Always look your best:

Anytime i step outside I make an effort to look my best, from my choice of outfit to the style of my hair. In today’s world first impression is everything.

Don’t be a doormat:

Always be pleasant and respectful to everyone, but never allow anyone to walk all over you. I live by the phrase “You give them an inch, they will take a mile”.

Thanks, Clementina!
