Savage Skin Care

Your skin cells have a battery problem, and modern skincare finally has a charger. IMAGE MD’s Biotech Longevity Creme uses a Phyto NAD+ Booster from sunflower sprouts to help mitochondria produce energy more efficiently, plus patent-pending XOSM Technology that delivers antioxidants deeper into the skin. The result: firmer, more hydrated, and visibly younger-looking skin that holds its charge longer.

Last night I traded my esthetician hat for an apron 🍝 A client of mine (who’s become a friend) and I signed up for a pasta making class hosted by my neighbor — the incredibly talented chef behind — at the equally amazing .

From scratch, by hand, and honestly some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. If you love good food and want a fun night out, sign up for one of his classes — you’ll leave with new skills and a full belly. Not ready to make your own? He also sells ready-made pasta and sauces, and it’s worth every bite.

I had so much fun I’m pulling out my KitchenAid pasta attachment for family dinner next Sunday. Support local, eat well!

Finally! A 470,000-person study just confirmed what I’ve been telling you for years— frequent chemical sunscreen users had dramatically higher rates of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. On top of that, the FDA confirmed ingredients like oxybenzone absorb into your bloodstream above their own safety thresholds and may disrupt your hormones.

Zinc oxide. Titanium dioxide. Mineral only. It sits on your skin — it doesn’t sink into it.

💡 Pro tip: Jumping from SPF 30 to SPF 80 only gives you 1–2% more protection. But adding a stabilized Vitamin C serum under your SPF 30? That boosts your protection by 10–20% by neutralizing the free radicals sunscreen can’t stop.

Work smarter, not harder. 🧡

Spent all week spritzing my clients with lavender mist in 99+ degree heat with no AC… finally getting my lavender the right way. 🍹

Most people see a dirty pan. I see every meal my dad ever made, every memory we shared at the table, and every meal yet to come. Grateful to carry on the tradition. ❤️

I feel very fortunate to have been able to attend a SkinCeuticals class today that hit all the marks—informative, engaging, and taught by someone who genuinely knows their craft. Almost 40 years in this field and I can still walk out of a class feeling inspired… which honestly feels like its own kind of miracle. I’m already thinking about how to use all of this in the treatment room, because the esthetician‑nerd in me is thriving.

When your baby girl is a total badass who loves AJ & Blaze more than Barbie dolls… of course she gets a monster truck birthday cake.

Supporting small businesses never tasted so good. Picked up some amazing locally made tonight from a fellow small business owner and neighbor, thanks to our neighborhood shop that carries his products. Grateful for delicious food and the chance to slow down and enjoy real family time.

When your client brings you peace in every language and a gift that makes your day… I’m lucky to do what I love with people who make it even better.
