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

Hi Rocky, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process was I want something for myself and to make money doing what I love. Working for someone else’s passion just doesn’t sit right with me, and receiving 1-2 weeks per year for vacation is not my idea of living happy. I always get compliments on my makeup and eyelashes so I decided to sell them. I love doing make up, and helping build someone else’s confidence to see them smile. Knowing my lashes contribute to their confidence is enough for me.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
What sets me apart from others would be my originality and integrity. Those 2 qualities are fading in this day and time, in my opinion it is part of creating so much friction amongst people . I got to where I am at now with prayer, faith, determination, hard work and a support system. It is not easy, but it is worth it. I am still overcoming challenges, knowing that everything happens for a reason helps me get through it. It’ll either teach me or take me where I need to go. Along the way I have learned that patience is key and not to talk about your plans until they are DONE. I am excited to add new items to my website and the world should know that my brand is built on integrity, helping others to love themselves and providing quality products at affordable prices.

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.
I would suggest eating at wild crab or juicy crab, brunching at forks and flavors, hanging out on Edgewood, dancing at Rose bar, Caribbean or Latin clubs.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I am blessed to have quite a few ppl in my corner that help me in all areas of life and that are reaching their goals as well.
