My husband and I have been traveling for Business almost every weekend since May. Time home is far and few between. This weekend is the first in many, many weeks that I haven’t worked a weekend. However, I did offer my Professional thoughts to the son of my new Massage Therapist and Esthetician. He is […]

I have the utmost respect for anyone in our Industry who takes the time to help others learn. In this age of social media, it is truly over-whelming how many post and short videos are being made in an effort to either sell their products, or sell themselves. Myself included. After all, the days of

Our Beauty Community is extremely fortunate to have so many mentors from not just all over our Country, all over the world. There is certainly no shortage of trade shows, retreats and classes. In fact there is no shortage of any education if you count Utube, IG and other forms of social media. What’s missing,

I had a conversation a couple of weeks ago with a client who is struggling with what products to use in her service arena. She is not the only client I have had this conversation with. In fact, I would not hesitate to say, I have this conversation at least 1X per week. After much

This will probably be my most profound article of the year. The way I feel about being confident and being able to share with others to be confident, is what I love to do. What most people don’t realize, many who are confident are very timid as well. Partly because that is how they hide

We all know the lectures that go on and on about wearing sunscreen. I for one wished I had listened. After years of using the tanning bed in my Salon as my “30 minutes of peace”, I’m paying the price. Over the years, information regarding the right sunscreen, the SPF and how often it should

I must be from another world. I see things that people do or say and I wonder if anyone else is aware of the idiocracy. An everyday example would be this; I go to the local sub shop. I order my sub and notice the person who greets me and takes my money is the
