Glow by Karina

I think I’m finally realizing that I DONT WANT TO MISS THE LITTLE THINGS. 🤍

It’s been a while since I’ve had a Saturday off just because… not because there was a birthday, an event, or something on the calendar that required my presence.

Just… a Saturday.

Being home. Watching my babies be their silly little selves. Simply being with my family without thinking about what I need to do next.

And honestly, I’ve been thinking A LOT about that lately.

We spend so much of our lives working, building, creating, checking things off the list, and trying to be everything to everyone. Somewhere along the way, I think I started believing that everything else HAD to come first.

But at the end of the day, we’re human. I’m human. And while I love what I do, my family still needs me. They need my time, my attention, and my presence—NOT just the leftover pieces of me after everything else is done.

Today reminded me that these are the moments that matter most.

Because the truth is, everything else really can wait.

But these little moments with my babies won’t always be here. My family won’t always be in this exact season of life. And I don’t want to be so busy building a life that I forget to ACTUALLY LIVE IT with the people I’m building it for.

So I’m giving myself permission to be present.

To enjoy the ordinary days.
TO CHOOSE MY FAMILY WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY ABOUT EVERYTHING I’M NOT ACCOMPLISHING.

And before I am an esthetician, educator, or anything else…

I AM A MOTHER FIRST, guste a quien le guste. 🤍

My girl came to see me, and honestly, these are the moments I love the most. 🤍

Getting to take care of her skin is one thing, but getting to spend time with someone who has been there through so many seasons of life makes it that much more special.

A little skin time, lots of catching up and laughs, and the kind of conversation that makes you forget about everything else for a while. 🫶🏽

So grateful for you, always. And yes… her skin is GLOWING. ✨

Colombia, we’re with you 💛

After yesterday’s 7.4 earthquake, my heart is with everyone in Colombia who has been affected by this devastating event.

When moments like these happen, we may be far away, but there are still meaningful ways we can show up. Monetary donations can provide real support to communities and families who need it most.

If you feel comfortable and compelled to give, I encourage you to donate whatever amount feels right for you through the Colombian Red Cross Cruz Roja Colombiana :

🌐 AYUDA.CRUZROJACOLOMBIANA.ORG

And if you’re not in a position to donate, that’s okay too. Sharing verified information, amplifying trusted resources, checking in on loved ones, and simply standing together all adds up.

In difficult moments, solidarity matters. From near or far,

COLOMBIA NO ESTÁ SOLA🇨🇴❤️

I just had to hop on this one! 😆🤏🏽✨

Did you know the back is one of the most neglected parts of the body?

Your back has pores, too!
Just like your face, your back can experience clogged pores, excess oil, and buildup—especially from sweat, workouts, and hair products.

Your back is one of the hardest areas to properly exfoliate yourself.
A back facial gives this often-neglected area the professional cleansing and exfoliation it deserves.

“Bacne” isn’t always acne! ✨
Bumps on the back can be caused by clogged pores, oil, sweat, dead skin buildup, or even irritation from products. A professional treatment can help determine what your skin may need.

Your back can benefit from a facial just like your face does.
Deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, masks, and hydration can leave your back feeling smoother, softer, and refreshed.

A back facial is the perfect pre-event treatment!
If you’re wearing a backless dress, swimsuit, or anything that shows your back, a professional back facial can help your skin look and feel its best.
