    Julie! I can totally relate, and understand! Our industry has changed alotttt and one things I've noticed is that its not "enough" to just post before and afters of clients like it used to, you need to vlog, make reels, share tips for becoming an artist, do "day in the life" videos just to stay relevant at times and keep your audience engaged and growing. Its EXHAUSTING. It's why so many artists burn out. I sometimes wish I can just go to work and come home and shut my brain off for the day but as you know this industry doesn't work like that. Do what you need to do and what you feel is right.!!

      Yes I 100% agree! The hardest part about this job is keeping up with social media. Unfortunately, we do have to put forth more effort to get our names out there. It's almost like we need to show that we're busy to get clients, but also we don't post because we're busy. It's a really backwards concept! haha Thank you for always being so supportive Mckenna!

      @julieruby My career began as a hobby, so I told everyone it's just a hobby and that took huge pressure off me, even though it became a career since 2006.
      I got clients by word of mouth and by advertising in bridal magazines where they would see a link to my website, (all brides get free bridal magazines at expos) which I built myself, updated, and improved upon over the years. It's necessary to be able to edit your own website, yourself, rather than to pay a host to do it. I made business cards, which I stopped doing because they became unnecessary. I wouldn't pay someone else to make them, it's dead easy with a good printer that can take various material types.
      Makeup artists don't have time to vlog and blog, as updating your own website or Instagram in between home life or a second job, is enough work and time.
      I posted on Facebook (had a seperate Fb business account) but never got work that way.
      I advertised for free all over the internet, like Hotfrog, with photos and links to my website. I did photo shoot fashion TFCF collaborations which is how I first built up my website with professional photos. Immediately anyone can see the difference between pics I took and the pics photographers took. If I didn't like a photographers work, I wouldn't work with him again, but that happened rarely.
      It's worth it to advertise on wedding planner websites.
      Watching your video's I wondered where you find the time for yourself. That is vital.
      Your advice you THINK is for beginners, but truthfully as veteran bridal mua, you helped me tremendously. I have to re-watch all your videos again, pause, write down things you taught me and continue, in my new country where certain things are done slightly differently.
      Thank you SO much, I've watched many videos others made, yet yours were filled to the brim with stax of useable info.
      I just graduated as Esthetician so your video on that was also tremendously useful. They never gave us a makeup kit though? Guess it doesn't matter because what they gave you was not so great anyway.

    Only seeing your video today. I have been following you since August (I think 🤔). Not a pro makeup artist (just yet), but an artist. I can totally relate with doing the art, then filming it is like doing it/reliving it all over again. It's not the art that's tiring but the filming/editing process. Good of you to have figured out what triggers your stress and working on it. ❤️😌

    HI Julie! Although I will miss your vlogs, your decision is definitely the best one.
    As you know, I'm a Nurse Practitioner at a Trauma Center, I turn to YT to unwind and to help me de-stress from the crazy day.
    In your case, if you are filming and editing videos, along with your MUA business, you are not getting the chance to unwind nor the adequate time to de-stress. Take advantage of being outdoors with your sweet pups and your husband. Life goes by fast, so enjoy every bit of it. Hugs!!

      I always appreciate your sweet comments and support Claudia! I'm glad you can use UA-cam as an outlet to unwind. I've learned as a makeup artists that 90% of our lives are on social media for marketing. Because of this, we have to find alternative ways to unwind rather than use social media since it's a job to us. Yes, I need to prioritize spending more time getting outside and living life :) I needed that reminder!

    Hi Julie,
    I usually never coment on videos, but today I feel like I have to.
    I have watched your videos for a really long time now and I want to tell you how much you mean to us who watch you. You have inspired me to follow my love of makeup and take a makeup course which may eventually become my full time career. We all really look up to you and are rooting for you as a person. Recently I was really concerned for you watching you take on so much on yourself. When you posted this I was so happy to hear that you were making the right choices to take care of yourself and to make time for your husband. I am also married and I am expecting and I am still working a 9-3:20 job and I just started this makeup course so I feel like I really related to your feelings of having no time, but seeing you take a step back to give proper time to the true priorities in your life made me really proud and made me believe that I can also learn to balance all the different aspects in my life.
    We are always rooting for you as a whole person and will always love to see any type of content that you put out that makes you happy, but take care of yourself because we care for you as a person more than we care for your content!
    Wishing you much continued success, happiness and health for you and your family❤
