She is now an established Makeup Mixologist Artist and switches back and forth between Las Vegas, Nevada, to Monterey and Sacramento in California to maintain her work-life balance. She hasn’t updated the viewers about her future plans and whether she wants to return to the limelight, perhaps because she is currently occupied with caring for her family and improving herself.
