Carmen the Esthetician

Hola! I know it's been a while since I have posted! Some of you know that 3 weeks ago Trav broke his back, so life has just been extra lately. I feel like I have been in survival mode and my brain is so loaded, I am not capable of any more. So of course my social media goes to heck. 😝

This is just me checking in, its been so bad I am unable to even come up with fashion for Friday. I have nothing new to show!

Give me some time and I will be back! In the meantime I am still here to do your services, lend a listening ear and entertain you with my stories!

Ash and smoke, ash and smoke! Oh my what a summer.
Who else feels out of sorts?

Hopefully the cooler temps and some rain this weekend will bring some relief, but who else feels this month was just a wash!?

Today I am wearing some cute shorts my sister gave me (yes she spoils me!) And my James T Kirks shirt, a band that is a long time staple in Edmonton. Wykyk 😉

Well I am back! And what a time it has been, honestly I don't think it has all hit me yet. I sort of hit the ground running this week once we were no longer on evacuation order.

To all the fire responders, volunteers, anyone who helped Summerland out, a big big thank you!

We are worn out, tired of bad air, emotionally exhausted but our spirit remains alive! The best thing we can do it pick ourselves up, and support Summerland business as much as we can! Tonight we will be doing that at our favorite little watering hole Detonate Brewing and this is why I decided to wear this shirt today!

There are many ways to help, and there are many people pulling together for this community 🩷

We will rebuild stronger than ever

Good news! Evacuation order is over! I will be back to work tomorrow, I am currently contacting clients but it may take me a few days to get to you! Just please be patient because this is going to be a bit overwhelming for me!

Hey Everyone! I want you to know I am safe! But with all the uncertainty of everything right now, I will have to close up shop until I know more. I will be going day by day to cancel appointments and once we can get back to normal, I will be rescheduling everyone. This is not ideal, but we just have to have some grace during these tough times.

Edit: I have blocked out my schedule for new appointments for the next few weeks to save space for rescheduled clients

It's a smokey friday! Who else is trying to make the best of it?? This is why I thought I better wear some bright and light clothing! I just bought these shorts purely for comfort and the neon pink 😍

The weekend is here and we are going to try and summer as hard as possible! Peachfest weekend!

I have decided to close on Mondays, mostly because I need a better work life balance. It's been impossible to keep up with our property and I have been overwhelmed for 2 years now. Basically, I want more time to garden and homestead, so even though its just a half day less, it will help me immensely.

It is possible I will open them back up come winter, but I will play that by ear!

In the meantime I am still here 4 days a week from 10-5:30 (6 on Thursday)!

Have some skin tags in the worst spot? Are they driving you just crazy? Come get them removed! Virtually painless and quick via the vasculyse machine!

The after photo is about a week after treatment, the red spots do calm down after a couple weeks.

Tell all your friends!

I am back with my fashion Friday!

This week I bring you a romper my lovely sister gave me! Super cute and fit perfectly!
Thanks sis!

And yes, I am over the moon with the Spain world cup win!! And yes, it was won fair and square! What a game! We watched at the Fan fest at the PNE amphitheater and the energy was so insane, I came home with no voice from cheering so much! Olé!

Have a great weekend! Ribfest is on, I know its tradition for us to get our rib on!
