    THE ANTI-AGING POWER OF FOOD

    I just turned 34 about a month ago. I’ve been cognizant for over 10 years of the importance of starting young when it comes to preventing aging. However, being aware that I am rapidly approaching my mid-thirties and working in an industry, as well as living in a city, that overemphasizes the value of looking young at all stages of life, I can’t help but feel the pressure to know more and do more. With this being on my mind often, I can’t help but continue to go back to what I find so intriguing… the power of food. I have written and preached for years about the healing powers…

    SUMMER SKIN CARE MYTH BUSTED

    Hey, Babes! We’re mid-summer now, and we are enjoying every moment of living in California, right near the beach. Maybe you’re reading this from Nevada, from Washington, from Ohio, (I don’t know?), but chances are, it’s summer where you are, too! That’s why we’re coming to you with a big summer skin care myth BUSTED. Drinking plenty of water will not significantly hydrate your skin. Okay, okay, before you roll your eyes in skepticism, I am not saying that water isn’t of crucial importance to skin health, because water is of crucial importance to total body health. There’s no arguing that one. But the idea that your dry, tight skin will be relieved by drinking a…

    TOP 5 SKINCARE STAPLES

    One of the reasons I find being an esthetician to be so much fun is because no two clients are the same. Every client will have completely different needs, goals, and reactions to treatments. From one appointment to another, I basically get to play scientist with deliciously aromatic ingredients, forming one reaction after another in the skin to get it to be happier, healthier, and more radiant. But one thing I have noticed in the diversity of these clients’ needs, is that there are a few staple rules and guidelines that apply to everyone’s face, and the number of clients I have interacted with who were unaware of these essentials…

    WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH MICRONEEDLING?

    What’s the deal with microneedling? Is the hype real? In my opinion, yes it is. This is not just something the Kardashian’s tried that’s going to be forgotten before the end of summer. This is a treatment that I stand behind and 100% support and promote. Why? Well, because I’ve seen the results. I’ve gotten the texts and feedback from clients telling me they are blown away at what is happening to their skin.   I think most estheticians would agree with me when I say that I like consistent treatments. What I mean by that is I love a good, results-oriented new treatment or peel, but not at the cost…

    GO WITH YOUR GUT FEELING

    Ok girls, this is a topic I feel as though I am constantly repeating myself on. Over and over, all day, every single day, I am sharing on this topic as if it’s brand new information that will change your life forever. I do that because, it is in fact, life-changing. I remember when I was 25, destroying my gut. I literally, permanently destroyed my gut. I made the foolish decision to have a surgery I did not need and ended up with an expensive 3 week stay in the hospital in isolation getting treated for MRSA.     You treat MRSA with antibiotics. Not just any antibiotics, but the kind…
