Despite a packed athletic schedule, Mason found the time to become a licensedestheticianlast December.

I have two girls who do my nails and hair every few weeks, so I do their lashes.
It’s a trade of services, Mason says.
This level of beauty upkeep is time-consuming, and even more so for a full-time athlete.
The exception, of course, is when shes competing.
