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

Hi Leexangelie, have there been any changes in how you think about work-life balance?
My balance has a huge part of my day! I am a fiancé to an amazing partner, I am a mother to two beautiful girls , I am a business owner and most importantly I am a Christian. I have a lot of tasks on my plate when it comes to personal and business responsibilities. Becoming a mother has taught me to balance a lot of my daily tasks into what is necessary. I ask myself what can I get done today? What NEEDS to get done today? And how can I set myself up for tomorrow? I think balancing out priorities and necessities is super important! I feel very blessed that I am busy and I try to get as much done in a day as I can. But we do have to remember to balance our schedules accordingly so we don’t forget to enjoy all of the beautiful moments life has to offer.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
The beauty industry is evolving constantly! That is the main reason why I love this industry so much. I am able to express my art and my passion daily with my clients/students. What sets me apart from others is my passion and compassion. Some may say it can be a flaw to be too compassionate but I live my values on being honest and humble. It took me time to realize my worth in this industry. There were times where I felt I wasn’t good enough , and where I felt my work wasn’t as good as others. What helped me overcome that insecurity was God. I am able to pray to an amazing God who listens and gives me confidence that I am enough and I always will be enough. After 4+ years of lashing I have returning and loyal clients. Lioness Beauty is an educational resource for beginners and professionals.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Of course if I have a friend coming to Texas, first stop would be the Stockyards! I was born in Puerto Rico and raised in Pennsylvania, so when I moved to Texas my dad took me to the stockyards! I fell in love with it all! Seeing the cattle , the cowboys and cowgirls was so cool! There is many places to go eat and have scenic views having bbq and tacos is just the Texas thing to do! The stockyards is my go to for anyone visiting Texas. Next I would definitely take them to Southlake to go shopping of course! There is shopping dinning and it is a beautiful area to have a fun girls day!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost the biggest shout out to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I give all my success and all my hard work to him. Secondly I give a huge part of the reason I am able to pursue what I love to do on a daily basis is my amazing fiancé Sergio. We have been with eachother since high school and he has always been my biggest supporter. He is the reason I am a mother and he is the reason I get to pursue my passion , he is the biggest help to Lioness Beauty and our number one fan haha! Last but not least my older sister Rose, she is the epitome of ride or die. She is my sister , best friend and business partner. Lioness Beauty wouldn’t have the creative ability , talent and hardwork if she wasn’t right by my side making all of our dreams come true!
