The Skin Alchemist

You know you found your people when you all show up wearing the same eyeshadow color completely unplanned. 🫰보라해 🫰💜💜💜 💜💜💜

I never imagined that allowing myself to be vulnerable would bring so much light and hope into my life. The love and support I’ve received from sharing even a small part of my journey has truly meant more than I can put into words. Thank you so much. 🙏

As Mother’s Day approaches, my heart feels a little heavier than usual.

This season is stretching me in ways I never expected… but one thing has never changed—my love for my son. It is constant, unwavering, and the deepest part of who I am.

I’m continuing to grow, to show up, and to become the strongest, most grounded version of myself—not just for me, but for him.

To anyone walking through something difficult right now, especially the quiet battles no one sees… you are not alone. Keep going. Love always finds its way. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

There’s something about alignment… you feel it the same way you do when skin finally starts responding, when everything just clicks.

I’m so excited to share that I’ve returned to with Fifth Third Bank 💚💙

With the recent Comerica acquisition placing us as the 9th largest bank nationwide now—watching this kind of growth and evolution, and getting to be part of it, is incredibly inspiring & exciting. I can’t wait to start seeing name all over Texas, Arizona and California.

But more than anything, it’s been the people. The warmth, the kindness, the genuine welcome back… it’s meant so much to me. 🫶 It feels so good to be back home. 🏠 *pun intended 😘

Something a former loan officer always told me was, “trust the process.”
And after the last couple of years, I truly believe—things have a funny way of working themselves out exactly the way they’re supposed to. 🦚

Just like skin, just like life… sometimes the transformation is happening before you can fully see it.

Grateful, aligned, and really excited for what’s ahead—both in beauty and beyond. 🫶

I had to fly back to Cincinnati for a Celebration of Life and a few days of work, and despite how busy and emotional the last few weeks have been, my skin has never looked or felt better.

These last few weeks using have been transformative. Radiant, hydrated, smooth, and giving luxury-level results exactly when I needed them most, especially now that I have recently turned 43. 🥰

I wish I could have packed her entire collection, but these three were absolute essentials for this trip:

✨ Cell Forté Eye Crème https://go.shopmy.us/p-52495244
✨ Cell Forté Serum. https://go.shopmy.us/p-52495234
✨ Soufflé Moisturizer. https://go.shopmy.us/p-52495238

True skin saviors that kept me glowing through long days, travel, and everything in between.

So grateful to have met the beautiful Angela in person, and deeply thankful to both Angela and Rob for your generosity and for introducing me to such an exceptional line. I am so excited to share my results soon and get everyone else I know into their healthiest and most radiant skin ever! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

My sweet son wanted to match my tattoo, so I gave him a little fake version on Easter—and he was still proudly wearing most of it on his arm today 🥹 *he picked the designs and placement, my lil artist 🥰

No one really tells you how hard it is to start your life over at 40…

To become a single mom, lose a job you truly loved (and the people you loved working with), and then have the courage to completely change direction. To walk into esthetician school as part of the very first class at Collin College, not knowing exactly how it would all unfold—but trusting it anyway. To go through spine surgery… and do it all 977 miles away from your family, your friends, and everything that once felt like “home.”

And yet… here I am.

Last night, I felt something I haven’t felt in a long time—pure, overwhelming gratitude. To be surrounded by such incredible friends who showed up for me, loved on me, celebrated me… it meant more than I could ever put into words. You reminded me that even when life breaks you down, it also rebuilds you through the people it places beside you.

This year has been one of the most challenging—and also the most transformative—of my life. And somehow, in the middle of all of it, the most beautiful opportunities are finding me.

I am beyond honored and grateful to be stepping into a new chapter working for an inspiring and beautiful esthetician (more to come 🥰) - an opportunity that feels so aligned with everything I’ve been building and believing in as a passionate esthetician myself. And to also be expanding into a new chapter with the bank (I’m baaaaaack 💚💙)… it feels like proof that when you don’t give up on yourself, life meets you in ways you never expected.

I’m still healing. I’m still growing. But I’m also rising.

Thank you to everyone who has stood by me, believed in me, and poured into me—especially last night. I will never forget it.

Here’s to rebuilding, to resilience, and to becoming the woman I was always meant to be 💗

This birthday feels a little different for me, and my heart feels incredibly heavy this morning. It’s a strange feeling to receive so many beautiful birthday messages while quietly carrying this kind of pain—especially on a sacred, reflective day like Good Friday.

I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting, growing, and focusing on what matters most—being the best mother I can be.

If you’ve known me personally or experienced me in any season of life, I would truly appreciate a few kind words about my character or your experience with me—especially as a mother. So many of you have been blessed to meet the love of my life, my only son. 💙

Your support means more than you know right now. 🙏

Thank you for being part of my journey—and for your love, support, and kindness. 💗✨

I haven’t had Botox in over 8 months, haven’t dyed my hair in over 10 months, and I don’t use filters—ever.

Yes, I’m a whiz with a makeup brush… but this is your reminder that what you do at home matters. The right skincare, consistency, and intention will always show up for you 🤍

And this year… I’m taking skincare to a whole new level.
Something special is coming ✨ Sometimes you have to “go with flow”

This next chapter?
Let’s just say we’re going deeper, more intentional, and more luxurious than ever with skincare…

Think elevated, celebrity-level skin rituals but that you can do at home! 🤍

Today, I got to be part of these amazing esthetician students’ journeys as we started prepping for state boards—and I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years since I was in their shoes 🫣 (finally remembered to post some of our pics from our makeup lesson in October)

I’m loving their curiosity, passion, and the way they genuinely want to do it right. Being an esthetician isn’t just facials—it’s confidence, skin health, mental well-being, and the power of touch 💆‍♀️💖

These beautiful young ladies have already touched my heart with their kindness, support, and energy. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone realize the difference they can make.

To all aspiring estheticians: never forget—you have the power to transform lives, one touch at a time ✨
