When it comes to the holidays nothing beats Christmas for me. I don’t know if it’s the beautiful lights, the shopping for gifts while listening to joyful Christmas music or maybe it’s just the happy and loving vibe you seem to get wherever you go during the season. I’d be lying if I were to say that I didn’t enjoy receiving gifts (well, besides getting those ugly Christmas sweaters…really Aunt Bev? Can’t you just pick up a gift card or something that sparkles while you’re out?). But just as much...

It’s that time of year again when families gather together to celebrate what they’re thankful for. It’s not always the most relaxing of holidays as your Uncle Earl continues talking about ‘the good ol’ days’ and your sister Susie giving her many opinions on your lifestyle choices…come on, does it really matter how I make pumpkin pie? However your family celebrates, it’s a time together that should be enjoyable. When it comes to Thanksgiving dinner my family and I always bring a couple of dishes to the table. Although it...

I don’t know about you but I’m the type of person who would love to have a fridge stocked with healthy organic foods and use only natural cleaning products…but have you seen the price? I may not be the best with the organic foods as my boys are currently inhaling poptarts as we speak, but as for the creating my own products for natural ways to clean my home I always had avoided it with excuses: ‘I don’t have enough time to make it’, ‘It’s going to be so expensive...

Would you put something in your body not knowing what it is? What about on your skin? Most people don’t typically think to look at the ingredients on their skin care products let alone try to understand what some of these ingredients are. When it comes to aging, we just want whatever we can that will help us look younger, slimmer, healthier and we never think twice what harm we may be causing. When’s the last time you were excited to purchase a new facial cream with Formaldehyde as one...

As an esthetician, one of the most frequently asked questions from clients is what they can do to maintain healthy, youthful skin at home. Maybe you’ve even asked yourself this question. Incorporating a jade roller into your daily skincare regimen is at the top of my recommendation list, along with wise food choices, exercise, adequate sleep and quality skincare products. Jade rollers have recently taken the skincare world by storm, but it’s important to note they are not new beauty tools. Jade rollers have long been used in ancient eastern...

Natural oils have been such a craze lately within the mainstream beauty industry, especially Rosehip and Argan oil.

As an Esthetician, I am asked by my clients what can they do to improve the appearance of their maturing skin, or why is their new overly priced night cream not turning them into a young Sophia Loren…the answer? Routine. It’s all about the routine. Just like everything else, routine helps get results…go to the gym a few days a week and you’ll gain muscle, eating every evening before 6 PM will lead to better digestion, cutting out excess sweets and sodas will help you lose weight. When you follow...
