Yearly in November (his birthday month) when he was alive, we did ‘The FLO-vember Problem” the place we dedicated to a well being aim and did it day-after-day for the month. (We often did burpees, ugh!) Me and the crew have continued this custom and it’s all the time a reminder of the significance of fine well being and retains his spirit round. I do know he’s proud.
Estheticians and Dermatologists Unite
One of many issues I really like most about being within the magnificence trade is the individuals I get to satisfy and study from. This trade has among the brightest, most revolutionary, artistic individuals, and I by no means get bored with studying from them.
An enormous spotlight in November was not solely getting to talk for the second 12 months on the Science of Skincare Summit however this 12 months I performed three roles: I used to be a speaker, the co-chair of the esthetician monitor and an exhibitor showcasing our line. What’s tremendous cool about this summit is that it brings estheticians and dermatologists collectively. That is very uncommon. All of us have the identical objective, which is to assist enhance lives by bettering pores and skin however our approaches might be completely different and we haven’t all the time performed effectively collectively within the sandbox.
That is now altering and we’ve got a newfound respect for each other for the way we view and deal with pores and skin and this summit is an instance of that. It was an honor to be on a panel with well-known dermatologists (like Dr. Pimple Popper!) representing my fellow estheticians.
