beauty therapy
Beauty therapy is the practice of caring for your beauty to create life habits that alter other ways of self-care. Thoughtful decisions in products, routines, and making appointments for the spa guide a healthy lifestyle in diet, exercise, and stress-reduction practices. Beauty therapy can be a lifelong journey with suggestions from a licensed stylist, esthetician, technician, dentist, or massage therapist. Every decision for your beauty is reflected in enjoying a loving practice for a long and healthy life.
Deep Sleep
Deep sleep plays an essential role in relaxing the body to support essential functions. Not only does it aid in emotional detox, cellular repair, and boosting energy, it also provides a moment of peace to rejuvenate your skin, leaving you with a refreshed, rested complexion.
Eye Art
The beauty, energy, and art therapy of makeup uses color as a tool for self-expression. Inspired by Sister Corita Kent’s creativity and resilience, I share how adding bold colors to my routine helps me embrace my inner strength and creativity, turning my beauty ritual into a transformative experience.
My Nailcare
My nail care routine has evolved to focus on chemical-free products and nourishing oils that keep my nails healthy and strong. By combining this mindful approach with a fun lit and tech therapy ritual, I’ve created a routine that nurtures both my nails and well-being.
Dating with Crohn’s Disease
Living with Crohn’s disease is challenging because it’s an invisible illness that affects me physically and emotionally, making dating difficult. However, beauty, meditation, and lit therapy have helped me nurture my inner beauty and outer beauty, and communicate more openly, which I believe will lead to a stronger and more meaningful relationship.
Food Journal
Food Journals can help with many aspects of health and wellness. By tracking meals, they can help build a safe meal plan, show what foods are triggering, and track stomach pain, gas, and bowel movements. This will empower anyone to enjoy eating for life.
Muscles of the Face
Part of becoming an Esthetician is to study facial anatomy and physiology. Here is an introduction to my self-study, resources, and study guide for the muscles of the face.
eye makeup
My experimentation with float therapy and a meditation practice not only healed my inner traumas but affected my lifestyle which showed through the health and wellness of my eyes. This allowed me to have more fun with my eye makeup and makeup shopping in general.
cool eye pads
Taking care of your eye area produces well-rested eyes that are bright, brilliant, and engaging. Cooling eye pads are refreshing, restorative, and energizing, making this a powerful spa tool. It is both a nap and a cup of coffee and all under 15 minutes, it’s a great way to enliven your eyes.
Sugar Scrubs
A sugar scrub exfoliates, removing dirt, dead skin cells, and a stale layer of skin. I had sugar packets that I never use so I thought I’d whip up a sugar scrub that I learned from working at a women’s hydrotherapy spa. With a self-love meditation, it’s easy, satisfying, and rejuvenating for a fresh new you.
Intro to Smoothies
Smoothies are liquified salads of fruits, vegetables, and nuts. They are full of essential nutrients, conveniently compacted into a drinkable snack, meal replacement, or hydration boost. Intro to Smoothies covers the basics of nutrients and goes deeper into the benefits of each ingredient.
Towel Meditation
A towel meditation draws healing benefits from nature therapy, meditation therapy, energy therapy, beauty therapy, hydrotherapy, and sauna therapy. Simply lay in the sun, protect your skin, stay hydrated, and activate cod mode.
God moments
God moments can be routine, random, intentional, or awesome and can provide many therapeutic benefits. There are different types of God moments when we appreciate the beauty of living. God moments can be found in any meaningful moment and are worth collecting, experiencing, and feeling a rich gratitude.
Upgrading My Dental Care
During lockdown, my filling fell out and I’ve neglected to go to the dentist since. The other day I experienced severe tooth pain and made an appointment the next day. My dentist taught me a lot about what that pain was, how I could mitigate it, and the next steps to upgrading my dental care.
My Hair Story
My hair story shares what I was going through, what happened to my body, and how I’m healing. Losing my hair turned out to be a lesson in listening and creating a path to healing, starting with a dedication to meditation, float therapy, and spa research.
Healing the Skin with Licorice Root
The healing benefits of Licorice Root are known to help with inflammation throughout the body. In my Coursera course on Herbal Medicine, I learned how to research the safest procedures for the use of botanicals, focusing my final project on ways to heal Eczema with Licorice Root extract. Here, I outline studies that help point modern medicine to a safe, efficient, and holistic approach to healing a stress-related illness and beauty trauma.
Facial at a Beauty School
A facial at a beauty school provided an opportunity to learn about being an esthetician, relax and practice meditation, and chat with a wonderful person who knows how to heal my mind, body, and spirit through chemistry, massage, and genuine friendliness.
Infrared Jade Sauna Cocoon at FLOATWELL
Vancouver, WA
It’s not really a sauna, it is a vibrating platform in a warm cocoon lined with jade stones, red LED light therapy and Himalayan salt particles. After 30 minutes, I came out feeling rejuvenated and grateful for FloatWell’s women-owned values.
Reflexology
Whether you’re interested in booking a Reflexology appointment at a spa or tending to your own feet, I’ve outlined the main concepts of Reflexology so you can understand why certain spots hurt more than others and how to take care of the very feet that help you stand.
My Recovery from Acne
I used to have really bad acne. At the time, I didn’t think my skin even had the ability to look beautiful. External topicals helped heal my active wounds and aid in rejuvenation. Internal practices like meditation brought forth my inner beauty and calmed the body so it could heal on its own.
