When it comes to the “business” of having my own business, I struggle. This quote  gave me the push I needed to get on top of the mound of orders and paperwork on my desk (ugh) and to not be so intimidated with the layout of my new website (bigger ugh). When all is said and done - it’s SO WORTH doing what I do and getting to work with all of you! Here’s hoping it will inspire you to tackle whatever “IT” is and reach your goals!

Many of my clients are already familiar with the Ayur-Medic Pumpkin Peel that I’ve been using in my treatment room. It’s my go-to-peel for any skin type. It smells delicious and leaves skin baby soft. The Papaya Peel is the next step up and is very effective in purifying the skin and to even out skin tone. Great to use if you are concerned about acne scarring or sun damage.  Best of all - it’s not harsh like some other powerful peels.

This month you can choose between the Pumpkin or Papaya Peel in November’s Monthly Special. Save $15 and get a 1 hour treatment for only $50.00. I look forward to seeing you!

As many of you already know, I’m now working with Arbonne International as an Independent Consultant.  Arbonne is a health & wellness company with cosmetics,  nutrition, weight loss and aromatherapy that provides all botanical products to benefit your skin and body. Last May, I had the opportunity to try full size bottles of Arbonne’s Anti-Aging skin care line, RE9 Advanced for 3 days without any obligation. The tagline is “Visible results in 24 hours” and I was really impressed (and a bit surprised) at how quickly my skin responded! It really did feel smoother and softer after just one use. Over a short period of time, I am continuing to see my skin improve in tone, texture and firmness. I love that by being an Arbonne consultant, I can now share these great products (at a discount off retail prices) with my clients!

If you’d like to try RE9 Advanced for yourself, contact me, with your name and address and I’ll send you out a generous 6 piece sample.

Penelope Cruz (on the left) and my lovely client, Luisa (on the right)

Let’s make that BABY sister. Penelope is 8 years older than Luisa. Which begs the question -  how does one keep that youthful glow? Here are my top 3 tips for glowing skin:

1. Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen! I don’t really care what kind it is or what the spf is, the key is to wear it everyday. When it’s sunny, cloudy, rainy, or somewhere in between – wear your sunscreen ladies. If you don’t you’ll pay later with wrinkly, blotchy, sun-damaged skin. And don’t even get me started on tanning beds. There’s little that even the top skin care specialists in the world can do for you fake and bakers! Not to mention the health risks involved. Unsure what sunscreen is best for you? Contact me and I’ll be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

2. Exfoliate (within reason) – I love freshly exfoliated skin, especially after a facial. Skin is dewy, revitalized and glowing. But I’m horrified when I hear clients tell me how they scrub their faces every night with harsh abrasive scrubs or washcloths! Be gentle. Be nice to your skin. An enzyme mask (look for ingredients such as glycolic or salicylic acid) once or twice a week along with regular facials, is a good start to younger looking skin.

3. Hydrate From Within – drinking plenty of  water each day flushes out toxins from your system, keeps your skin hydrated and is essential for anti-aging prevention. If you really want to step it up – try adding healthy oils to your diet such as olive oil or flax seed oil which helps protect the skin against oxidative stress.

Grace Kelly’s Engagement Photo

Grace Kelly was a woman with style, class and.. well…grace. She was always elegant and opted for a simple and understated style that’s certainly worth emulating, even today.

Kelli’s classic bone structure, blond up-swept hair and pearl necklace made her a perfect choice for a Grace Kelly inspired bride.

Learn how to get this look in 3 easy steps!

1. Less is more - when it comes to make up, choose flattering shades (neutral colors are a safe choice) and apply with a light touch. For Kelli, I used mineral eyeshadows in shades of gray and white with a touch of glimmery beige on the lid.  Soft pinks on cheeks and lips add color without being too overdone. I opted for cluster lashes over a strip lash to keep with the natural look.  Using a mineral foundation, which will cover imperfections but still allow your own skin to show through, is best.
2. Keep hair soft – think up swept, waves, looser hair styles with pretty accessories. Nothing harsh or too pulled back.
3. Speaking of accessories – Grace Kelly was known for wearing a single strand of pearls. Try updating this look with the Charlotte Statement Necklace from Stella & Dot. I can picture this necklace with a cardigan and jeans, just as easy as I can a beautiful wedding gown. 

Stay tuned for another Hollywood inspired bride!
