Sorry I have been away for awhile. It has been crazy trying to catch up with everything....with the shop and shows I have been doing. But I am back to say "Hello" and a public thank you to a few people.
Do you know when you have those days that just start off on the wrong note? That was my morning yesterday.
Life: That afternoon, however, a client and friend, Joahna (who is so great about spreading the word about us) came in to pick up her products and told me her sister was about to have her baby. Joahna had brought her sister in to have me do her makeup awhile back so I definitely shared in the excitement and anticipation. As an uncle of two, I remember the first time I saw each of my nephews...the hope and joy you felt was unexplainable. I cannot wait to see the photos.

Laughter: Not too long after, a client who also became a friend, Olivia, came in to pick up her products. We jokingly call her the tornado because she usually runs in and out like one. However, she actually got a parking sticker (from a kind stranger), and we ended up having a blast. Anyone who knows me knows I virtually live and breathe products and can talk about it all day....well, so can she, and it's always great to share with someone who values your passions. Although not a tornado that day, she was a whirlwind through the boutique picking up all the things she liked from the samples she tried, which was also confirmed by many positive reviews....but of course, we only carry the best! All this between talk and laughter.
Friendship: Around the end of the day, my client to friend (yet again) ,Connie, came in. It's always a joy to see her ever-smiling face and to be around her. Such a kind heart! She came in to tell me she's about out of her face lotion, talked some about dating life, and started to play aorund the shop. What I love about Connie is how she is so open to try new things...although I did give her a lecture about how she used hotel soap when she ran out of her cleanser. We got some advanced skin care, and she walked around picking imported natural bath oils and salts, chic makeup palettes and a body sheen product...for herself? No, as gifts! Did I not tell you she has a good heart? So Connie, thank you, thank you , thank you! At the very least, I need to treat you to more Thai food!
I am also reminded of my beauty, Michelline, who surprised me with beautiful flowers after two treatments and custom products. To see and hear from her how her skin completely transformed and has never looked better in all her years was so very touching. I was walking on clouds for the rest of the day. Having skin concerns myself, I can't imagine a better life than to be able to help like this. Thank you for inspiring me even more.
So there you have it, no product focus or beauty advice - just some thank you to people like you who help to make my day. Life, Laughter, and Friendship - these are all things that Inspire true beauty.
Until next time, I hope to see each of you sooner than later.
