Having a baby is one of the most transformative experiences in a woman’s life. As a Licensed Massage Therapist who has specialized in maternity massage (both prenatal as well as postnatal), I have thoroughly enjoyed supporting women through this experience and helping them to navigate the physical as well as emotional changes that come along with it. This will be a rather long post. I recommend that you pour yourself a cup of tea and carve out some time to sit down and read- I want this to read just like you were my client- how I would advise you in each stage of thisRead More →

TGIF my beautiful friends! I’ve been basing blog posts on questions I’ve received from you, my readers! Subscription skincare has been a hot topic among you. Does it really work? Can a skincare professional truly give you a good assessment from a photo without seeing you in person? I’m giving you the deal from my professional perspective. From a marketing and business standpoint, consultation with subscription skincare services are genius. Having your skin assessed by a professional in the comfort of your own home and on your own time rather than making an appointment in an office with either a Licensed Aesthetician or a Dermatologist?Read More →

Some of you who follow me on social media may have heard me talk about the Choose FI movement. My husband and I are really into it! To sum it up, it’s all about prioritizing your spending habits to maximize your savings rate in order to reach Financial Independence earlier than Retirement age. When we did our annual budget this year, taking into account my no longer earning an income by staying home with our children, I really had to think about my priorities, and how I could streamline the things that matter most to me to make them as simple and cost effective asRead More →

Happy Friday loves! And happy November! I’m so excited to share a device with you that I have recently tried and LOVE! I want to introduce you to the NowMi Pro device. I’m sure you have heard of at-home facial cleansing devices on the market such as the Clairisonic, and the Foreo. The NowMi Pro, with technology developed in Israel by Dr. Zion Azar, is like nothing you’ve ever tried in sonic facial cleansing! The device is made of silicone, similar to the Foreo, which I actually prefer because silicone is anti-microbial and very easy to keep clean. It dries rapidly as well, so itRead More →

This week’s Hero product is Rosewater! Why Rosewater? Rosewater has been part of my #estiesholygrail for years now! Rosewater has natural properties that calm inflammation, heals skin, reduces puffiness, contains antioxidants to protect skin from environmental damage, and has ingredients that act as inhibitors to elastase and collagenase, both of which are harmful to the skin. It is great for almost ALL skin types, and I also consider it part of a beautiful, nurturing skincare regime. How to use: Use with a cotton round in the morning to gently cleanse skin (in place of a skin cleanser), and do the same after cleansing at night!Read More →
