Brenna Dixon - Makeup by Brenna Lauren
Hello fellow boss babes; with over 15 years of doing faces; I have mastered bridal and boudoir makeup.
Hello fellow boss babes; with over 15 years of doing faces; I have mastered bridal and boudoir makeup. I absolutely love glamming up my clients for their special day and photoshoots. It all started when going to college for marketing and needed a part time job; I focused on my passion which is makeup and fashion and quickly applied to MAC cosmetics in YYC. Little did I know I would be doing makeup for a living. I realized there was a great opportunity to start my free lancing business and opened in 2008. After moving to Edmonton in 2010; I quickly rebuilt my clientele and started a family. I have a beautiful blended family of four children and three dogs; to say I am living the dream is an understatement. I love my YEG clients; and continue to work in YYC and my hometown of YLL. I love hitting up the lake in the summer; boating; fires; downhill skiing and all things music!

Hi there, I’m Kaytlyn!
I am the Owner and Lead Organizer of Sort & Simple Professional Organizing. I love transforming people’s lives through simplifying their space.
Why did you start this business?
Now more than ever, it is VERY easy to accumulate stuff. However, it’s not as easy to get rid of items. Most of us can relate to the feelings of stress, overwhelm and even paralysis that a big ol’ pile of stuff can create. Disorganization can impede our productivity, hinder efficiency, and can even cause feelings of guilt and shame.
This is where Sort & Simple comes in! Through the power of decluttering and the implementation of functional systems, not only can we create a welcoming space, creativity and confidence soar too!
Why do you love being an entrepreneur?
After a decade long career in the healthcare field, I had reached a plateau in my learning and development. I was craving a new challenge!
Owning my own business has filled many of the gaps I had in my previous career - I get to build meaningful, long-term relationships, and utilize my creativity and handy-girl skills. The best part is that I am challenged every day and am constantly learning. I love it!
What are the biggest lessons you’ve learned so far?
When it comes to organizing an important lesson I’ve learned is to be continuously adaptable. Every client has a unique way of using their space and belongings, so I need to keep an open mind to their preferences and find solutions that make sense to them. Often that means using a system very different from what I would want in my home!
As for the business side of things, I have learned that I cannot control everything. When I finally realized that there is a limit to my capacity a huge weight lifted off my chest. By giving myself permission to set work boundaries, delegate tasks, and to be patient with the process I have had more opportunities present themselves and am having a lot more fun along the way. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
