Changes in Life, Changes in Skin




Happy Wedding Day

Close your eyes. Deep breath. You shuffle your feet and feel the dress move around your ankles. Your hair swishes past your ears and you hear the crackle of your bracelet against your wrist. Suddenly the weight on your finger feels so real, so present. Breath. The light scent of your perfume settles in the room. One more breath. Blink and take it all in. You slowly raise your eyes to the shining glass before you. You see the glitter of your shoes, sparkling around light pink paint. And the dress that made you cry all of those months ago, the dress that fits you better than any other piece of cloth ever has, takes your breath away again now. It's perfection. Your eyes find your manicured hands in the mirror, and that ring that sits solitary for just a few minutes more sparkles in the light. A symbol of the journey on which you are about to embark. A representation of his love and commitment to you! You shift your weight again, finally staring at your face. What do you see? A glow. A glow of joy that darkness could not hide, and make-up cannot enhance. It's tangible in the room and it is all coming from your eyes as they mirror your very soul. It's that thing that they will see-every family member, every friend. All of those who love you and celebrate with you on this day. And him, especially him. He will be waiting at the end of that aisle just to catch a glimpse of Your Face

The above post was written by my daughter who will celebrate her one year anniversary soon!  She married her best friend, her life long partner.  What a blessing this journey has been.  They will soon welcome a new life into the world as a product of their love.  What joy will abound!  We, my husband and I, are thrilled to become first time grandparents.  
It will be interesting to see where my blog posts go from here!  Skin is still my passion and I will continue to educated myself to bring my clients the best in holistic skin care.  I want all brides to feel the joy that my daughter felt almost a year ago.  We worked hard to keep her skin happy and healthy through a stressful time.  The time leading up to and through her wedding day.  The pictures are astounding, her face was radiant.  We have continued to work on her skin through the hormonal changes that pregnancy has brought.  The best thing about holistic skin care is she didn't have to stop treatments or products.  It is interesting to me that many products can be harmful to a growing fetus, and yet so many people don't know the risks.

If you are getting married soon or planning to have a baby, don't forget the largest organ of your body...SKIN.  Treat it kindly and it will respond favorably.
