An easy routine to keep your skin healthy, clear and glowing? Sometimes simple is better.

This is my next door neighbor Barbara. She is 72 years old and she looks forward to this facial every year. She has taken excellent care of her skin all her life, using sunscreen everyday. Despite working out in her beautiful yard everyday in the sunshine, she has no sun spots. Every time I have the honor to have her in my studio I am blown away by her beautiful skin. Be like Barbara. Wear sunscreen.

Every year I look back on the seasons of this little studio of mine. How many stories we have shared of new jobs, losses of jobs, new relationships and the ending of some. Boundaries learned, new pets, engagements and weddings. All the happy tears and the sad.

With these changes of your life, we have created healthy, radiant skin. I have cleared difficult cases of acne, been able to change how you are reflected back to yourself in the mirror, and held a safe space for all of the vulnerabilities that come with it.

I am forever grateful that you trust me with your skin, with your friends, and family. I am forever grateful for every appointment, referral, and good word you speak about me. You keep my doors open in the time a lot of people have to close their doors.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

About a month ago I was asked to be interviewed for the Nashville Voyager. I never needed to be popular, I only wanted to make a difference.

While it’s true, I can give you confidence in your skin… I love it when the glow *also* radiates from the inside out. Thank you to everyone for inspiring me daily and allowing me to experience your light. 🤎

I woke up to this incredible review written by a client, who in fact, changed *my* life. When she came in for the first time -I was ready to pull out all of the stops in order to help her. But I quickly realized, I needed a better, more specialized protocol. I had taken my Face Reality certification years prior to acquire more knowledge about acne, but I didn’t carry it. One last ditch effort, I was boarding a plane when I decided to take a leap and open an account with Face Reality. Her wedding was coming up in a few months, and I figured if it didn’t work, at least I tried. Well, it turns out, it did work, and she got to walk down the aisle with glowing, beautiful skin.

Because of this client, I have helped countless other clients reach their goals. Sometimes you set out to find your purpose. And sometimes..your purpose finds you. 🤎

She text me these last pictures and says “Not to brag or anything!” 🤎😆

If getting clear skin is something you are hoping for in 2025, I got you. Please also remember you are loved exactly the way you are.

2025 goals:
Don’t pick it.
Q-tips do not belong in your ears.
Wash your face before bed even if you gotta do it after dinner.
Good things take time.
Yes, you can buy the LED mask, if you promise me you will use it.

Have a safe and happy entry into the new year, everyone. I love you!!!

Lately I’ve been thinking about what it means to rest and recharge. I’ve been wondering what I do for me so that I can show up for others. How do I prioritize rest, that is outside of things I do for joy and entertainment. How to I unplug, and find stillness in the chaos? Some love a bath, a hike, a quiet dinner with good food, meditation, or for some (😉) a facial or massage. I’m wondering how you find peace for yourself, and make time to recharge in the midst of the busy schedule of life?

Focus on what you can control, and meet the rest with kindness. 🪄
