We had the good fortune of connecting with Mariah Celine and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mariah, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
I used to spend so much time working; and would find myself extremely burned out, very quickly. I realized I had to find a healthy balance between my mental, physical, social and financial wellbeing. A few things that help me achieve this are prioritizing, planning ahead, and setting boundaries. It’s also very important to give yourself rest, otherwise you won’t be able to work or balance anything at all. These days, I find myself prioritizing my mental health more than anything because of just how much it impacts all other areas of my life. As I get older, the more I realize how important work-life balance really is.

What should our readers know about your business?
I started my business, BlinkMink Lash Co, in March of 2020. BlinkMink is an online beauty store that offers free shipping and local pickup for a wide variety of our very own faux-mink strip eyelashes, beauty accessories, cruelty-free cosmetics, and more! In addition to running my business, I offer my own marketing services to businesses that include personalized marketing strategies, content creation and social media management. It’s been a wonderful challenge working in so many different roles and the opportunities it’s given me. I’m learning that as you grow, so will your ideas and passions!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Any time I have a friend that visits me, we like to try to find new things to experience together. First on the list would be something relaxing; like a visit Strawberry Park Hot Springs or a massage at Pagosa Springs resort & spa. Next, we would head to Denver to grab some good authentic Mexican food; or maybe enjoy all you can eat hot pot, before going to sing Karaoke and explore some of the many pop up/theme bars. And lastly, it’s not a trip to Colorado unless you visit the Rocky mountains for a hike or tour the Aspen slopes to try your hand in Winter sports.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Seeing as these articles are built on recommendations from the community, I want to dedicate this to everyone that has ever supported my business in any way. It’s amazing seeing how many people are unconditionally rooting for me on a daily basis. Someone told me once that God will not only provide us with the vision and the talent, but also the audience and support. I truly believe as creators, we are nothing without our community. They deserve all the recognition.
