Welcome to my Blog

Welcome, I am so delighted you are here!

I’ve been obsessed with the beauty industry and everything feminine since I can remember. I have spent my whole life helping women feel better about themselves and training women to become successful beauty pros themselves. Along the way I’ve met some of my lifelong friends and have went on to new adventures like manufacturing when I became sick from toxic chemicals when I was a salon owner.It was 2002 …I was 36 then, I had to switch gears to protect my health. Thankfully now there are many holistic options, but back in 2002 there was not.

Wisdom comes with life experience and aging is a gift. I am so thankful to have my continued health and that I can pass my knowledge on to others interested.

Let’s back track to 2020, it was a life changing time for me. My partner and I were supposed to go on the trip of a lifetime to Punta Cana for 21 days, 3 days before the flight the pandemic began. My anxiety was on bust, I had no idea how I was going to be able to deal with all the challenges. It is a year I really would like to just about totally forget. I began online learning to develop habits to control my anxiety, I spent most of the pandemic working in my business, not on it. It was challenging from start to finish. It changed me, my perspective and my goals shifted.

I am not afraid of hustling and hard work, it pretty much defined me as a human, as a matter of principle my work ethic was ingrained in me by my parents and mentors, I just don’t quit… it is not in my DNA. I did have a priority reset though and it took my brothers having a heart to heart with me to get me back on track. They recognized that somewhere in the middle of entrepreneurship I had lost myself and thankfully I realized they were 100% right. Where the hell had Lisa gone? They are both entrepreneurs as well and knew only too well the stress running businesses brings with it.

I needed to make major changes so I decided to work on myself more than I ever have in my life. My health and lifestyle needed a complete reset. As I worked through my list of fixits, the anxiety attacks was the most important item on my list. I needed to simplify my life and scale things back to what felt right for me to control my stress. The personal work started. I reduced my alcohol consumption drastically, starting eating a lot more vegetarian meals ( I was a Vegetarian for 8 years ) I missed it and it was a time in my life that I felt the most pretty, happy and peaceful.

This month I sold my rental property, it was a thriving VRBO, but I knew it was growing so fast that it would need a lot more attention. Time to let it go and let someone else pick up the rental owner dream.

Now my biggest investment is in me, you cannot drive on an empty gas tank so when you fill up yourself with good meaningful things you need, you are so much better. You have the energy and passion to participate in what brings you the most joy.

This blog is a place that I will share my innermost thoughts on everything from how I changed my life to why I so love the beauty business 40 years in.

Thanks again for being here, I hope sharing my experiences will be helpful for you and that you too find the courage to make the changes you need to for a better life that is full and beautiful.

xoxo,

Lisa
