Shay, Unfiltered: Beauty, Brains & Real Talk

Hey, I’m Shay

So… why are you here? What’s in it for you? And who the heck is Shay?

Honestly? I can’t tell you exactly what you’ll take away from being here—but I can promise this: I’m a walking encyclopedia with a heart of gold, a sunny disposition (most days), and a mission to spread peace, joy, and some seriously useful knowledge.

Who am I?
I’m Shay—daughter of Wendy and Rusty, raised with grit, creativity, and a wildly vivid imagination. I didn’t grow up with much, but I’ve always loved hard, learned fast (even with A.D.D. and dyslexia), and never kept good things to myself. Gatekeeping? Not my style. If I’ve figured something out the hard way, I’m here to help you take the shortcut.

I’m a makeup artist, horticulturalist, amateur baker, and professional hype woman for the little things in life. I speak my mind—sometimes too freely—and I’ve heard plenty of people say I’d never succeed. Spoiler alert: they were wrong.

I’m a work in progress, unfiltered and unapologetically me. Take it or leave it—but if you stick around, I think you’ll be glad you did.
