Thought it was day 6 until I looked back at my old reel 🙄 Any way you slice it, it's gettin' a little rough up in here with my face situation. I promised no filter, you got it...

Last day of skin treatment - why? Because my neck is screaming at me.

Day 4 of 5-FU/Calcipotriol treatment - skin, like the rest of me, is more stubborn than anticipated...next week should be interesting!

Quick and simple. No resolutions, just some recalibrating. ❤️

Any time we're doing skin treatments - whether it's something like introducing a retinol, using a new soap to help the microbiome, or adding medications to treat an existing problem - irritation can get in the way. Using the correct products, the right amounts, and a really good moisturizer can make all the difference in being able to follow through with a full treatment course. My go-to skin cream is and it's gotten me through lots of tough battles with this sensitive skin. Day 2 under the belt...now onward!

Sun damage shows up DECADES after the fact - and the treatments can be pretty brutal. Join me in my journey over the week as I deal with the karma from my sunburns back when Def Leppard was king (although I still freakin' love them). Day 1: looks innocent enough. Stay tuned.

However you choose to celebrate, may your days be peaceful and joy-filled 🩷

The only thing more fun than making everything stupidly magical for a full-month-sprint, is doing it while you and the crew are sick...

While the office was warming up, thought I'd give you a helpful tool for those BIG gorgeous ideas that want to become reality!

ARE THOSE FAKE??? 🌿 I get that question a LOT in the office when people see the plants. The answer is no, absolutely not. I take my plants VERY seriously and have a relationships with them like I do with my pets. I believe plants are sentient and are absolutely aware of what's going on around them - there's some really cool data out there that supports that.

I can tell when they're feeling good, when they need a little extra love, and when they're being a little bit dramatic (I've got a couple of those - mostly the peace lily, though 🙄).

This gorgeous plant behind me is known as Stella - named by my daughter, she came off the back of a Lowe's truck as a solitary stalk with every one of her leaves torn, looking like she had a really rough week. We tuned into each other as I nursed her back to health - now I chat with her, she gets to watch my singing and dancing performances when there are no patients around, and I know she feels the energy of a healing space and all of the cool people who I see in the office every day.

Plant care is a lot like people care – once you can figure out the individual's vibe, you create a great relationship and things just flow. You know when they're feeling great, you know when they're a little under the weather, and you can see the subtle changes when they're not quite living their best life. Small tweaks and course corrections make all the difference – thriving is a beautiful thing :) 🩷🩺🌱

PSA: I've been informed that should I decide to leave the integrative health profession, I can start a career as an early 80s/90s hip-hop video dancer. Not everyone appreciates a retro hat and wide-leg jeans, and I'm not ready for a career change yet, but it's good to know I have options.
