And while I’m at it, why not add one last monthly promo to add to my current sale.

Seriously a good time to stock up!! 😝Purchase a Deco Customized foundation ( yes, still at 20%off) and receive a free Cover and conceal.

I love this stuff!!
Excellent at healing and covering up any blemishes or redness. It also helps with a little more of a fuller coverage look.
The olive green mineral pigment stick is intended to neutralise redness and conceal imperfections.
Bisabolol, the main active agent of chamomile , reduces inflammation whilst zinc oxide offers antiseptic properties.

And if you still haven’t had a chance to try Dermaviduals Deco customized foundation, now is your chance 😉 Book in for a foundation consultation before the 31st of March.

Why I love it ?
It’s a mineral foundation that cares for your skin just like your Dermaviduals skincare does.
* Non-comedogenic
* Suitable for all skin types and conditions
* Easily spread
* Hypo allergenic
* Light reflecting
* Long lasting wear
* Perfect colour match
* Buildable formulation

Ok, that’s it for now 😊

Hey beautiful souls! Chilling here on my bed as I try and write this post. Gonna miss this space so much! 😭😭 I have put a few of the important things on the slides as my post was too big, so hope it all makes sense 🤞🏻

So if you haven’t read my big news post yet, please go read that first as this won’t make any sense if you haven’t 😉🙏

Ok, I have a few businessy things to tick off over the next couple of months so here goes ; not in order of importance, just writing it down as it’s coming up in my very full brain right now 🤯🙈👉🏻

DERMAVIDUALS SKIN CLIENTS

I know you guys are feeling a little uncertain, but I am not leaving you on your own. I am definitely not doing that! We have worked hard to achieve amazing skin transformations over the last few years and I will not just leave you unsupported!
I am incredibly grateful to have the support of my amazing Dermaviduals sisters at in Altona who is happy to look after you for me. I am still planning to be available for Skin consultations and reviews while on the road so if you still require my guidance and new prescriptions, I am here for you for online or over the phone consultations. You can contact me directly to book an appointment.
I will collaborate with the Skin experts at behind the scenes and then they will be your Dermaviduals dispensary.

Alternatively, if you are happy and it’s easier to let them look after you for for all your skincare recommendations, treatments and products, I have complete faith in their capabilities. You have options. 😉
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting your trust in me over the last 10 years and have stuck by me as my business evolved.
It has been such a privilege and a blessing.

Thats it for now , there might be more things to mention later but this the most important info for now I think 🤔

Business announcement

**Long post**

Ok, I have some BIG NEWS!! So maybe sit down 🙊

So I have been sitting on this for a bit as I didn’t quite know how to write this post.

Some of you that come to see me regularly will probably already know about our plans to trade in our normal 9-5 for the gypsy life for a year or so. I am not very good at keeping secrets and was kinda hard with the FOR SALE sign out the front 🙈🤪

So after lots of patience and wondering if it will actually ever happen, House is now finally sold and plans are on their way!
It is my 10th year in business this year and what an amazing ride it has been! So many beautiful people came into my life, beautiful deep conversations, connection !
So many skin’s saved! A lot of challenging times but every mountain I climbed and became stronger and wiser. As a skin therapist, as a business owner, as a human being !
I am eternally grateful for each and every soul that connected with me, supported my business, put their trust in me and allowed me to hold this space for you. It has probably given me more than you’ll ever know 🙏😢

I AM NOT DONE SERVING THOUGH!
I am taking my open heart,
my hands, tools and skills,
can do attitude,
and willingness to adapt &learn, with me.
If COVID has given me anything, it is that, where there is a will, there is a way. 💪🏻

I am also so excited to say that I will be taking the Incredible with me on the road so I can keep saving skins and share my knowledge and passion! I am so grateful that they are willing to come on this journey with me and see where it leads 🥰🙌🏻

Bare Roots skin care will also still be available to purchase from my website! So that is super exciting! I will really appreciate the continued support in me and my dreams. ❤️ Reach out if you haven’t tried Bare Roots yet. Check out my February offer still going 😉

We officially move out on the 21st of April so please reach out to come and see me before I go 🤞🏻🙏
I’ll wrap this post up now but
I am working on the follow up post to cover more details regarding bookings, gift vouchers, product purchase and more.

Yours forever in Skin Health
Talk soon

Have a lovely weekend 🙏

HOW GRATITUDE LEADS TO HAPPINESS

According to research on Positive Psychology in relation to Gratitude, it shows that it is closely associated with greater happiness.

Gratitude helps you to tap into good experiences and to feel more positive emotions.

It helps you to be able to cope better with adversity, improve your health and build stronger relationships 💗

Practicing daily bursts of gratitude may also help to reduce stress, anxiety and depression and it can encourage healthier behaviours 👀

But HOW does it do this….?

Our brain 🧠 releases 2 crucial neurotransmitters responsible for our emotions, dopamine and serotonin, when we practice Gratitude. These boost our mood instantly making us feel happy from the inside.

So what will you focus on and have gratitude for today?? 🙏🏼
