It’s time to put manicured nail to qwerty again. My mental demanded a break, and yet being back feels better than ever. Once again I’m reminded of the therapy this part of my job is, how grateful I am to be able to do so many of the things I really love. More than ever I realise how fortunate I am to do what I have loved for over 20 years, & how blessed I am to have clients who actually want to hear me wag my chin about the symphony of texture, aroma & results that is Matis.
I went for my laser hair removal this week @ https://satoribeautyandwellness.co.za/ (I do LOVE barter…) & my gorgeous, oh so fabulous friend Hayley gave me possibly the biggest compliment I have ever received. She told me how happy she is for me, looking at where my life is now🥰 ; not so long ago I felt like nothing was going right. Frustrated with stagnation, overwhelmed with the mountain that is my degree, stressed, exhausted, aching; completely missing the essence of me.
I can point to a week, maybe even a few moments when I felt a shift in my spirit, a time when my head & heart decided on the same dance, switching between lead and follow, and finally the darkness lifted & just like that… all the pieces (I didn’t even know were missing) fell together. So many contributing factors and so many hearts play a critical role in the story that is my life & to all you treasures, Thank You!
The past month or two we have seen more people concerned with ageing than I can remember! We’ve seen more clients change to anti-age serums, and more clients expand their homecare routines. Our data shows a definite upward trend in more anti-age skincare treatments & we’re here for it! With the sun finally out to play after it’s little tantrum last week, I feel it’s the best time to celebrate ageing gracefully, AND taking it up a notch with our skincare. I can honestly say that I am obsessed with how fantastic my skincare is at the minute, I’ve introduced the Densifiance serum & the Caviar cream; the level of bliss I am experiencing on a daily in front of my bathroom mirror is positively life changing. My dedication to treat my neck & hands more specifically is a true representation of “over 40” 🤦🏽♀️I would be THRILLED to talk more about this is you catch me at the salon 😉
I am so excited to focus this month’s promos on anti-ageing, weather you’re 30, 40 or 70, we all would love to age more gracefully so let’s start right now!
I know, we’re speeding toward that dreaded time of year where everyone is grumpy, there are more bad days, your tired is tired & even if you plan to do Christmas shopping early, you very well may find yourself short tempered and frustrated on the 24th of December. Some things don’t change. What I can confidently say is, that 5 minutes with your skin at the end of each day works just like a plaster on your 5 year old’s knee. 😉 It’s also what your skin needs.
EASE:
If you do something with ease, you do it easily, without difficulty
to make or become less severe, difficult, unpleasant, painful
What would this chapter of my life be called? “Ease”, not because it’s easy, but because I want to squeeze as much ease into each day I can. Because I will choose to only take on only what I can, to unapologetically take a step back when frustration and unnecessary difficulty are the grey clouds and heavy stones that make the way forward an uphill battle, and possibly most importantly, I want to show the people in my life that “with ease” is the only way to handle me. I promise to check-in with myself whenever necessary, to make sure I remain firmly seated in my unapologetic femininity. Being the adultiest adult in many areas of my life for longer than I’d liked, has cultivated a woman who craves ease like never before.
Here’s to an October full of anti-age habits; minds, hearts & spirits that are calm & full of ease. Who’s with me?
