[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] I have so many thoughts pondering through my head on how to begin this story.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] With 6 trade shows behind us and 1 more to go, all within a 7 month period, it is fair to say I’m a bit exhausted. I am also exhilarated at all the prospects for the coming year and feeling blessed to have seen old faces and the opportunity to meet new. My take …
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] I had an “expected” curveball this past week. I don’t want to share what it is with you at this time.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Over the years I have been asked the question “why do my feet hurt”? It’s so interesting to me how really obvious it is, yet our client (ourselves) choose to ignore it. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text] The answer is simple yet, there are many answers to that question. However, it is human nature to be …

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] So often I am speaking with clients and I am STILL appalled about what they don’t know about proper cleaning, disinfection and sterilization. Because of this, I spent 3 years developing the Infection Prevention manual for Salons. A manual of basic “need to know” information which, if purchased and used would answer any and …
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I am piggybacking on my blog of last week. I wasn’t intending for that to happen. However, if you continue reading, you’ll see how the other side of creativity lives.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text]Last week I spoke about the idea of always having to be creative.
