Welcome!  My name is Samantha Ray, and I am the creator, dreamer, and lead stylist behind LULA Hair & Makeup.  I love all things beauty.  I see it everywhere I go, and in everyone I meet.

Throwin it back to this beauty from โœŒ๐Ÿปt w oโœŒ๐Ÿป years ago! โœจ Iโ€™m going to be doing some fun recap blogs, reliving all the good times, hard times, & funny times in business.  Did you know I used to do this on the side while in college, then while working customer service at a medical software company? I felt like I was floating on air when I put my notice in. โ€œWhatโ€™s next?โ€ they asked. Oh ya know, just some hair and makeup? ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚ and itโ€™s been LULA ever since! Couldnโ€™t do it without yโ€™all. More stories to come! .

Itโ€™s Friday! Gonna jump in with #fridayintroductions today!  My name is Sam and my business is named after my grandmother, Lula.  When I officially created my business 6 years ago, I wanted a name that would remind me what I know to be true about beauty, what I saw in Lula. I believe true beauty is in the intangible qualities of a womanโ€™s spirit - her strength, her joy, her hope and belief, her courage and kindness (not just southern-etiquette-kindness but deep, gritty, I-love-you-not-for-what-you-do-or-donโ€™t-do kindness!)
.
I am a Raleigh native and feel most at home under a shade of pines and oaks, either in a rocking chair or in the woods ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒณ
.
My husband @heyjohnray and I are celebrating 6 years of being married ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป We have a few adventures under our belts ๐ŸŒ(jobs, living in Africa and Israel and with both sides of our families, business ventures, and putting roots back in Raleigh), a kitty named Goldie ๐Ÿฑ, a church family we love, and a pretty deep love for eastern NC BBQ (#samandjohnsbbqtour)
.
Along with hair and makeup, I also enjoy writing โœ๏ธ (poetry & creative non-fiction), making music ๐ŸŽถ , going to the farmers market ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ, planning gatherings with friends and family ๐Ÿ’•, dreaming and making goals ๐Ÿ“(I love the @powersheets from @cultivatewhatmatters!), winning at Settlers of Catan๐Ÿค“, BBC and PBS, and laughing big like Julia Roberts.  Basically Iโ€™m training to be the best grandma ever!
. 
Iโ€™m going to be looking back over the last 5 ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿป years of LULA and posting some highlights soon!  Iโ€™m so thankful for you and your love and support in this little dream job of mine! โค๏ธ

So nice to meet you!  For more about me, check out my website and journal (link in muh bio!), my personal insta @heysamantharay, and my stories!  This here is an image Iโ€™ll cherish for a long time, captured by @ginazeidler of me and @emilyley of @simplified ๐Ÿ’• go check out the new @simplifiedplanner cover designs - I highly recommend these planners whether youโ€™re a SAHM, a student, or a business lady!  Have a great weekend beauties!

On March 14th, something happened in NC that has never happened before!  I, with the help of many other amazing women, created a round table for as many North Carolina on-site hair stylists and makeup artists to gather together.  I wanted to create a safe space for us to meet one another in person, cheer each other on, get to the heart of why we do what we do and what we each bring to the table individually as artists, & to talk about our industry and how it can become stronger, better, & more unified.  It was just a glimpse of what is to come!  Check out the full recap post in the LULA Journal!! The link is in my bio ๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿป#TEAMBEAUTY #HAMUA2018 (Thank you @brent.d_lvs for capturing so many beautiful images of the event!) #communityovercompetition
