Hello all amazing Steemians!
I had the chance to feel the love and power of this fabulous community even before I joined you and I am really excited to be part of it!
My name is Dashee and I am a single mum to two, the most beautiful boys aged 3 and 4 :-)
I am also a makeup artist, personal trainer and Spartan Race athlete.

I am a Czech girl but have been living in the UK for past 9 years. Initially I arrived here just for 2 months to study advanced Makeup artistry and learn English. I had previously travelled through Europe and visited many European cities but somehow I fell in love with London and I stayed here until now.
I have been through quite a lot and had many ups and downs, experiencing what the life brings us. I live by the rule, "What does not kill you makes you stronger!". Being a makeup artist for over 10 years and making people beautiful (or ugly if they want to) I have been able to bring happy smiles to people's faces, which is the thing I love to do the most (My Instagram - Dashee La MaQuilleuse).
From a makeup artist to personal trainer
Battling depression through most of my life and falling ill last year, I needed to change something in my life. I needed to be strong for my boys. I have always wanted to motivate other people to be strong. That's when my fitness journey began. I had done a lot of research and I began eating healthy and exercise. I was training at home with my boys, playing with them by using them as my weights. We all had a lot of fun doing it. Day after day, I was getting stronger and fitter.
And then, boom!
I suddenly realised that I looked better and I was in better shape than I had been before having my children. My depression was gone too. I got really hooked on my training. A lot of people started asking me for fitness advise. One day someone said to me, "Why don't you become a personal trainer?".
First, I thought to myself that it is a crazy idea. That I am fine with being a makeup artist. But the idea couldn't just leave my mind and let me rest, so a good friend of mine helped me to complete Personal Training course.
I became a Personal Trainer.
In the meantime I tried running the Spartan Race and I absolutely fell in love with obstacle race courses. Since then, I have been able to complete my Spartan trifecta twice and I became Spartan Elite runner.

What could I offer Steemit community?
Smiles, motivation and workout advice! :-)
It seems that articles with positive fitness advice are still somehow missing here, so I am looking forward to sharing my skills with you all!
I have received a lot of support from you recently, when you supported me and donated to my cause.
Now it is my turn to give back.
Love and hugs,
Dashee
