Today we’d like to introduce you to Tasha Marie Goodine.
Tasha Marie, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Growing up from the westside of Atlanta, I was able to learn very quickly the true meaning of the words perseverance and determination. I was determined to not let my current situation be my final destination. My mom would always tell me, “Tasha, never let life’s challenges define you and never look like what you’re going through”. With those words of encouragement, I continued to focus on changing the stereotypes that you couldn’t be successful if you came from a single-parent home, grew up in a low economic environment, or appearances didn’t meet certain standards. “Who says you can’t have it All”? I always had a passion for all things beauty. Through growth and life experiences, I understood that beauty is in the “Eye” of the beholder. To never fit into a box of someone else’s perception or stereotype of what being beautiful exactly is for you. To be beautiful and own it. My passion, drive, and determination along with obtained knowledge and education in the beauty industry I created the company Tasha Marie “Eye Love To Be Beautiful”. I wanted to not only provide products that will keep that focus and would enhance every vision of beauty but represent being beautiful as a character trait in your everyday lifestyle to overcome life challenges. I wouldn’t be where I am today without God and the consistent love and support of my family: my mom, my brothers, and my daughter.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
My journey and road in life was never easy, but God didn’t put anything on me that I didn’t overcome. I lost my father at the age of 4, and growing up in a single-family household I learned very quickly to turn my pain into power. Being a witness of true resilience and perseverance in my mother taught me strength and how to stand on my own two feet. Despite life”s adversities, I knew I was destined for greatness. Life taught me early the value in choices, becoming a single mother at the age of 21. Nevertheless, I made it my mission to be a great mother and give my daughter the world. At times, it was challenging but I committed to sacrificing my dreams to put my daughter first. Eventually, I learned to multitask being a single mom, working a 9-5, and starting a business. “Who said you can’t be it all, A mother and a CEO”? Through it all, it was in my struggles where I found my strength. Now at 29, I’ve learned that anything worth having is worth fighting for. Every battle won is a step closure to my dreams becoming my reality. The key is to never give up until all your dreams come true.
Tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of and what sets you apart from others.

In addition, we offer makeup services such as full face, eyebrow fill, and lash application. Beauty is in the “Eye” of the beholder and no one should be defined by any stereotypes of what being beautiful is all about. What sets us apart from others is that we not only focus on beauty products that will enhance the already beautiful you, but bring focus on being beautiful as a character trait in your everyday lifestyle rather in your career, as an on the go mom, or a family member. Only you can define your beauty. What I am most proud of so far is “the start”. Turning my dreams into reality. The hardest part is to begin, but with new beginnings comes new blessings.
Do you feel like our city is a good place for businesses like yours? If someone was just starting out, would you recommend them starting out here? If not, what can our city do to improve?
Being born and raised in Atlanta, I know first hand that Atlanta is the heart and soul for entrepreneurship and a great location for businesses to succeed. I would recommend Atlanta to upcoming business owners starting out because of our culture and connections through people with our southern hospitality creating memorable experiences to serve the community and ultimately generate revenue.
