Happy New Year! How do you feel about New Year's resolutions? I don't care for them but I do like choosing a word or a phrase to keep me focused on what's most important. This year for me, is going to be all about "being intentional". Being intentional and present in both personal and professional parts of my life.

I'm going to share a glimpse of my story with you.

Over fifteen years ago, when I was suffering with acne, I didn't have anyone to call to share my acne struggles with; a professional who could help me, and that was a lonely experience. So, when I decided to become an esthetician, I vowed to be an esthetician friend to other women and to treat them the way I'd want to be treated.

"There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It is why you were born and how you truly become alive". By Oprah Winfrey.

I feel so incredibly fortunate for being able to honor my calling in my lifetime. Helping women with their skin and to see a smile on their face when they look in the mirror truly brings me joy.

You know what else bring me joy? Meeting people!

While I am not an extrovert, one on one interactions or even a small group setting energize me, so, I am hosting my very first skincare seminar to tie it all together. Urban Skin Care Clinic turns four in February. That's right! I opened my doors back in February of 2020. I had an idea a few months ago to host an anniversary event and celebrate. When I started looking for space, one thing led into another and now it's become a skincare seminar and anniversary event. I thought why not make it educational.

Details you need to know about this never-done-before event:

This skincare seminar and anniversary event is going to be all about unlocking the secrets to healthy skin. It is happening on Thursday, February 1, from 6 to 8pm at the serendipity labs in Alpharetta, GA. Space is limited to 25 seats.

This event is for you, if you are a woman who's wanting to make your skin's health a priority this year to learn how to effectively care for your skin's needs and condition. Correct a skin condition you've been dealing with or learning how to age gracefully.

I'll be covering the following in my presentation:

• Acne prevention and treatments

• Anti-aging solutions

• Treating hyperpigmentation

• Tips for calming down redness

There will be charcuterie, wine tasting and sweet treats for you to enjoy, it wouldn't be a party otherwise.

Lots of giveaways; I've partnered with other local businesses such as wHydrate Roswell who will be doing free be 12 shots at the event they'll also be giving away a free urban infusion. Velvet lash in Roswell is giving away a complimentary lash tint and lift which I personally have tried this service before actually recently and I loved it. It is a great alternative if you don't want lash extensions. Last ,but certainly not least, Urban Skincare Clinic is also giving away products and services such as Microneedling, laser treatments, Dermaplaning, and chemical peels and the best part is that you can redeem your ticket towards a customized facial by the end of March!

Now the only thing you have to do is head over to https://urbanskincareclinic.com/skincare-seminar to purchase your ticket and reserve your seat.

I look forward to seeing you on February 1.
