“The Jenn” It’s the end of the “Snow Bird” season here in South Florida. I am a freelance hair and makeup artist. I’ve been doing this for over 30 years. I am also a personal trainer and an online coach. I work six days a week. Monday through Friday I go from 6 am till 9-9: 30 pm. I’m also a wife and Mom. My kids are almost 27,23,12 and 8. Two I gave birth to, two I didn’t but they’re my kids. So, I’m blessed and busy. I draw up my training programs the week prior but I adjust them as I go because I often have scheduling conflicts and things usually get moved around. Training is and always will be a top priority for me but family always comes first and making sure my businesses are running is a part of that. But, I get it in. Here’s how this week went: Tampa, FL June 1&2
