Alignment is happening.

Alignment is happening.

Since my last blog post, I have received calls, texts, emails, and all sorts of communication of support. My heart has swelled with the loving energy I’ve received and absolutely didn’t expect from that particular post. When I wrote my last blog, it was so cathartic that I almost forgot about it after I hit publish. The experience of writing my deepest thoughts and emotions is my greatest form of therapeutic self-care so I do it for the feeling it gives me rather than focusing on potential reader reaction. So it means a lot to me when you all see and hear me for exactly who I am after sharing something so vulnerable like the fear of the unknown.

it's time I come clean...an update on all things TSC

I’m just going to pull the bandaid off and say it; this sucks.

A letter to all non-essential workers...

This is the last type of blog I ever thought I’d write but here we are.

It sucks to be labeled as non-essential doesn’t it? As much as I agree with the measures taken to protect our society from COVID-19, I can’t help but feel the anxiousness of what’s to come for all non-essential industries.

Try as I might, I have yet to find one piece of mandated closure information that even lists facialists or spas as part of non-essential businesses that have to close during this type. The beauty industry is left out of the conversation forcing business owners everywhere to make an incredibly difficult choice by themselves. That choice is to label themselves as “non-essential”. I hate even thinking about it because we KNOW in our hearts that we are essential to our clients, and even with all of our training for upholding medical-grade level sanitation, the risk of our exchange is still too high. We know it’s the right thing to do, as painful as it is to not be of service the way we are best during this terrifying time.
