Sometimes the path you plan isn’t the one you end up loving most! Lily Cook thought she had it all figured out—pursuing accounting. But her passion for makeup led her to discover her true calling as a skin therapist.

Today, Lily is a Southern Illinois native, Licensed Esthetician, Bookkeeper, and Owner of Oasis Skin and Wellness in Murphysboro, IL. 💆🏽‍♀️✨

She shared powerful insight with our CEO Young Professionals on how retail not only boosts the local economy but also allows businesses to extend their brand into the homes of their clients.

We’re grateful for her wisdom and example of following your passion while making an impact in the community! 🙌🏾💼🌱
