Let’s talk about a vitamin you might not think of when it comes to beauty: Vitamin D3.
It’s not just for bone health or boosting immunity—it’s actually a secret weapon in your glow-up routine.
Here’s how it supports beauty from the inside out:
• Encourages hair growth by stimulating follicles
• Helps keep skin clear and calm (bye, inflammation)
• Supports cell repair and renewal for that healthy glow
• Contributes to collagen support and skin elasticity
• Boosts mood—and let’s be honest, when you feel better, you glow better
If you’re struggling with thinning hair, dull skin, or low energy… D3 might be the missing piece.
Tip: Always take your D3 with healthy fat (like avocado or nuts) for better absorption!
Will you be adding Vitamin D3 to your beauty routine?

Today I’m reflecting on the freedoms we often take for granted — including the freedom to choose a healthier life. On this Memorial Day, I’m thankful for those who gave everything. May we honor them by living fully, caring for ourselves and those around us.

Have you ever felt like “ This is too important to NOT share! “
But it’s hard to share. It’s personal. It’s full of grief. And pain. This is why I’m here.
I used to say I’m going to live to between 68-75. These are the ages my parents lived to. I was 40 years old when I lost my last parent.
I used to believe that!
Then I lost my youngest brother at 59.
I was scared
Then my oldest brother Mike at 71.
Before he passed, Mike would tell me many times:
“Do better than I did. Be healthier than I am.”
So that’s what I’m doing. I believe I can change my family’s longevity.
Most of our predisposition is HABITS we learn.
I’m still working behind the chair at my salon. But I’m also behind the scenes—helping women feel better through self-care, collagen, protein, and routines that heal from the inside out.
If you’ve been through a wake-up call too—or you’re ready to feel good again—DM me “GLOW” and let’s work on a healing plan. ❤️🩹

THINNING HAIR??
You may need a DETOX!
Your hair is a reflection of your internal health. If your body is overloaded with toxins, inflammation, and poor digestion, it will prioritize survival over hair growth. 😳
If you’re dealing with:
💡 Hair thinning or shedding
💡 Dry, brittle strands
💡 Slow growth
💡 Bloating & fatigue
…it’s a sign your body is struggling to absorb the nutrients your hair needs! A gentle detox reset can help clear the roadblocks and give your hair the nutrients it’s been missing.
Swipe through to learn how detoxing supports stronger, healthier hair! 🌱
📢 Unpopular Opinion: If your hair is thinning, your gut health might be to blame.
🚨 Most people don’t realize that gut health and inflammation directly impact hair growth. If your body isn’t absorbing nutrients properly, your hair won’t get the vitamins & protein it needs to grow strong.
How to Fix This⬇️
A healthy detox isn’t about restriction—it’s about:
✔️ Resetting digestion so your body absorbs more hair-boosting nutrients 🥑
✔️ Reducing inflammation that disrupts the hair growth cycle 🔄
✔️ Balancing hormones that play a role in thinning hair & excess shedding
That’s why I love the 7-Day Healthy Cleanse & 5-Day Reset—it’s designed to help your body work better from the inside out. When your digestion improves, so does your ability to nourish your hair, skin, and body!

How often should you be exfoliating the skin and scalp?
For Skin:
• Normal to Oily Skin: Those with normal to oily skin may be able to exfoliate 2-3 times per week without adverse effects. Oily skin types can handle more frequent exfoliation since they typically regenerate skin cells faster
• Dry or Sensitive Skin: For people with dry or sensitive skin, exfoliating once a week is usually sufficient. Over-exfoliating can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to irritation or increased dryness.
• Combination Skin: If you have combination skin, you might adjust the frequency based on how your skin feels, possibly exfoliating 1-2 times a week, focusing more on oily areas.
For Scalp:
The scalp can generally be exfoliated less frequently than the skin. A good starting point is once a week to every two weeks, especially if using a physical exfoliant.
For chemical exfoliants, which might be gentler, once a week may be suitable. It’s essential to observe how your scalp reacts and adjust accordingly.
HOT TIP🩷 Be Gentle, Over-exfoliation of the scalp can lead to irritation, dryness, or an increase in oil production as a rebound effect.
If you could only use one hair styling product/tool for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

Throwback to when I first started my R+F journey!
2021: We were coming out of the pandemic. I knew after being off work, having zero income coming in for 10 weeks, debt, I never wanted to be in that situation again I started looking for income opportunities that were not based on me being in the salon, but they were also in the beauty industry that I love. I had been using a few products from Rodan and fields, but refused to use the skin care regimen because I already had a product I loved 🙄 It took a another friend saying hey I’m going to join as a consultant before I said yes!
2024: the skin care that I thought I loved, and was doing a good job( look at pic), was not doing anything for the fine lines, or the dark marks that I had from sun damage. Our products work not just for me, but for many others. The right ingredients, in the right formulas, in the right order, this is our multi-med therapy approach. ARE YOU READY FOR A TRANSFORMATION?!
