Total Mom Makeover Series: Kenya Thomas Before and After Mommy Makeover Transformation

Total Mom Makeover Before During Filming The It Mom
Kenya

When Kenya sent in her application, I couldn’t help but relate to her day-to-day adventures. Between being an entrepreneur, career woman, and blogger – she felt like she had forgotten who she once was — a fashionable, chic, and stylish woman who knew how to confidently own the room. After giving birth to her first child, and scoring an amazing position with a high caliber fashion magazine, she came to us seeking help to be more presentable at work.

Kenya is also on our Influencer Panel and helped select 8 other moms receive head-to-toe mommy makeovers! You can find her on www.theskinnyc.com

You won’t believe your eyes – this is amazing! Check out Kenya’s interview and her amazing before/after transformation below of Total Mom Makeover!

Watch ‘Total Mom Makeover’ episode #3:

We learned some great tips and how-to’s from celebrity hairstylist Dusty Simington of Salon Gregories as well as from our very own Dream Team that we’re sharing with you today:


Tip #1: Ionic tools can actually damage your hair due to excessive heat. Stick to the good-ole fashion styling tools or consider lowering the heat significantly on your current ionic tools.


Tip #2: Always make sure your skin is prepped and moisturized before applying makeup. If you want your makeup to last longer and look better than ever, Sophadavy Hun suggests exfoliating your skin 2-3 times each week with a scrub or face mask.


Tip #3: The Dream Team’s Stylist, Ashley Trevino, share her heartfelt message of being your unique self regardless of the world’s perception of body image. Ashley is a celebrity stylist who has also styled the likes of America’s Next Top Model. WOW!

@georgeteh3 put his heart and soul into this proje @georgeteh3 put his heart and soul into this project piece for @arteh_creations ❤️ He’s learning new things throughout the furniture design and building process. And figuring it out along the way (all without formal training, education or experience in the trade - learned it from YouTube lol).

He created functional art from this very, very, very delicate 1950’s gossip chair 🪑 that we got for free through FBMP. It was in pretty bad shape, and I was unsure of how he would do it or what he planned to do. But I’ve always loved how creative his visions and ideas are with pieces he finds, and I knew he’d come up with something amazing!

I’m so proud of how far my husband has come in all facets of his life. And it’s great to see his eyes lighting up again when he talks about building and creating furniture and art!

Happy husband, happy home! 🏡 #vintagedecor #furnitureflipper #gossipchair #beforeandafter #furnituremakeover #antiquefurniture #modernrustic #artdecodesign
Hiiiiiii! I’ve been keeping a secret under embargo Hiiiiiii! I’ve been keeping a secret under embargo until the full announcement was released, and I’m thrilled to finally share! ✨

After much prayer, reflection, soul-searching, and a sprinkle of courage, I’ve taken a leap and joined the other side as a freelance Creative Consultant for The Allen Lewis Agency (@trytala)🚀

For over 12 years I’ve been captivated by the power of creativity, design, influence, and the art of storytelling. It’s been an incredible journey filled with learning, growth, and an unquenchable passion for all things content creation.💡And now I get to dive into a whole new world (to me, at least) of the agency side working behind the scenes in PR/Marketing/Communications and alongside my Influencer and Content Creator friends! 🌟

This new chapter represents not just a professional milestone, but a personal commitment to pursue what sets my heart on fire. I’m looking forward to working with incredible individuals like Jocelyn Coley and the roster of amazing, major brands. I’m excited to learn from each experience, but also grateful for some familiarity, as I’ve actually worked with a handful of the team throughout the years as an Influencer.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me! Your support means the world to me, and I can’t wait to see where this new path leads. Also, to all my influencer frands — I hope you’re all excited and ready too, because I’ll be reaching out to you for future potential opportunities! Love you all! 🙏💫 #humblebeginnings #newbeginningsahead #newaddition #momswhohustle

Arrived safely to Sonoma for some fun weekend shen Arrived safely to Sonoma for some fun weekend shenanigans with @Nissanusa and experiencing the drive event for the all-new 2023 Nissan ARIYA e-4ORCE AWD all-electric crossover vehicle!

This beauty arrives in April, but they’re taking reservations. And we got a first look and drive!

We stayed at the beautiful 5-star @montagehealdsburg, and wanted to give you a quick hotel property tour. 

Took a golf cart to my suite, and y’all, my suite has a firepit, an indoor shower AND an outdoor shower!

Later we had dinner with the Nissan team along with all my new (and old) content creator friends. And even got a recording of one of them singing for us (will post later on). Follow along my Stories. #NissanARIYA #NissanDiversity #ev #electricvehicle #nissan  #mediatrip #hosted #fivestar #fivestarhotel #montage #sonoma #sonomacounty #napavalley #winecountry #wineanddine
Heading to Sonoma this weekend with @nissanusa, an Heading to Sonoma this weekend with @nissanusa, and couldn’t help but share a throwback of my time in Miami when I got to see the new 2023 Ariya electric crossover utility vehicle.

Happy 1-Year Work Anniversary, @Collectors / @PSAc Happy 1-Year Work Anniversary, @Collectors / @PSAcard ! 🎉 Celebrated it on March 8th (but it was International Women’s Day). Also coming up on 10 years in Talent Acquisition/HR field.

Started in this space as a Contract Recruiting Coordinator (temp) scheduling interviews and setting up job fair booths (boy that was an adventure, let me tell ‘ya 🤣). And I very quickly worked my way up to becoming a Corporate Recruiter. I absolutely love what I do, and the impact we make to help better people’s lives through finding their dream careers. ❤️

Now I work for a company who helps people pursue their passions for collecting. My own family loves collecting high-value collectibles too.

I began collecting postage stamps at the age of 8. I remember getting grounded, because I racked up a $500 phone bill making calls to a New York stamp dealer talking all things stamps. And look at me now, Mom! 😂 I was an 80’s and 90’s kid…moved into @lisafrank stickers, @pokemon cards, Cabbage Patch Kids, video games and Beanie Babies. 😜 I’ve been asking my parents where those collectibles are, but they are still missing. 🙈

Now my children, husband and MIL have a wooden chest full of sports cards, Funko Pops, and memorabilia.

As you can see, finding an industry I love, doing the type of work that I do, is a dream and fulfills me. And the company perks are a huge plus. They’re an AMAZING company! 🙌

The collectible hoodie I’m wearing was custom designed by artist, Adam Lister, for Collectors employees! 😍 #findyourpurpose #findyourpath #findyourpassion #HR #recruiter  #recruiterlife #corporateidentity #corporatemom #dreamjob #humanresources #talentacquisition #psacard #collectors #dowhatyoulovetodo #workanniversary
Working from home does have it’s perks! Beautiful Working from home does have it’s perks! Beautiful views, peace and quiet, can work in my bathrobe (and take it off to reveal my work appropriate attire during Zoom meetings 🤣). I was super cold here, since Cali’s amazing yet bipolar weather allows for zero usage of heat and air conditioning, but still needing things handy for warmth.
