About Scarlett

Scarlett has a unique professional history including being an experienced Interior Designer, Stylist, Facilitator, and Business owner. After a successful corporate career, she has turned her knowledge from a variety of disciplines into a successful home-based business.

In 2007 Scarlett embarked upon a new venture as an entrepreneur. By mentoring with a talented team of artists, Scarlett learned the makeup trade and found she had a knack for hairstyling. She has grown an impressive portfolio and an ability to recognize and carry out each client’s individual needs. Working with brides, doing makeup for corporate headshots and providing makeup services at Langara College are just a few of the things that Scarlett does on a regular basis.

A chance meeting with a customer introduced her to the direct-sales company Stella & Dot. The product and business model intrigued her, and soon proved to be a perfect fit. Direct sales provided the freedom to work from home and she was able to fulfill her desire to be an entrepreneur, yet have a flexible work schedule with a consistent income. In 2012, her cumulative personal sales since she began exceed $200K.

Before becoming an business owner, Scarlett worked for Benjamin Moore as a colour expert and interior designer. She conducted seminars for both design professionals and consumers, and was featured as a guest expert on many TV shows across Canada, making regular appearances on CityTV’s CityLine and Breakfast Television. She is a graduate of the University of Manitoba, with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and a Bachelor of Interior Design.

Beautiful Chilliwack Boudoir

Posted in Boudoir, Hair Styling, Makeup, Photography

I have been a lazy blogger and have not posted for over a month (bad!) and I just find that there are so many jobs and hardly any time! I guess everyone is affected by the “busy-syndrome” and really it comes down to choice and what we choose to spend our time on. While I love writing and posting creative projects, my spare time gets eaten up my other things like Facebook, Pinterest and my beautiful kids!

So well over a month ago, I had the opportunity to work again with Michelle Horsman, who is a really thoughtful and picturesque photographer. I recently spent some time at her home in Chilliwack and she is like a mini Martha Stewart….very organized, fabulous style (and a terrific British accent!). I came away from her home wanting to organize my closets and clean my kitchen! She does party planning too! Check out Perfect parties by Michelle.

I did the makeup and hair for a Boudoir marathon in Chilliwack that Michelle organized. I picked a few of two ladies that said I could share, so I could show the makeup and of course, Michelle’s fabulous photography.
