Hope In the Mirror

I’ve decided we need to start giving ourselves GOLD STARS for the little things. 🌟

Because listen…we’re tired. 😂

Got out of bed? 🌟
Remembered why you walked into the room? 🌟🌟
Reheated the same cup of coffee only TWICE? 🌟🌟🌟
Didn’t tell anybody to kiss your entire ass? 🌟🌟🌟🌟🤣

ME??

I PUT ON ACTUAL PANTS TODAY.

WITH A BUTTON. 😳

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Look at me out here THRIVING. 🤣🤪

Gen-X, we raised ourselves, drank from garden hoses, survived Aqua Net, tanning beds and eyebrows we had NO BUSINESS plucking that thin.

We deserve the damn gold stars. ⭐️😂

What are YOU giving yourself a gold star for today?

Come for the glow. ✨
Stay for the completely unplanned therapy session. 🤣

POV: Your client checks “I prefer a quiet facial” on her intake form…

Me: “Absolutely. This is YOUR time to relax. No talking necessary.” 😌🧖‍♀️✨

Her 4 minutes later:

“So ANYWAY… my husband’s acting weird, my sister has lost her dang mind, Karen from work had THE AUDACITY, my kid is making questionable life choices, and WAIT UNTIL I TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED LAST SATURDAY…” 👀☕️🤣

Me, 37 minutes into the facial:

👁️👄👁️
“Noooooooooo way!!!!! Then what happened?!”

Listen… what happens in the facial room STAYS in the facial room. 😂🤐

No judgment. No interruptions. Just great skin and your Esty Bestie fully invested in a story about people I have never met. 💆‍♀️😂💕

And YES… you can still call it a “quiet facial.”
I won’t tell anyone. 🤫🤣

✨ Mature skin can still wake up and choose chaos. ✨

Seriously… weren’t we supposed to leave breakouts behind with low-rise jeans and over-plucked eyebrows?! 😂🙋‍♀️

But mature acne is a thing—and attacking our skin like we’re 16 again isn’t always the answer. Mature skin deserves a little more intention. 💜

At Hope In the Mirror, I love pairing doTERRA skincare with some of my favorite essential oils to create a routine that feels nurturing while supporting clearer, healthier-looking skin:

🌿 Tea Tree — the “we need to have a conversation with this breakout” oil. Perfect for supporting blemish-prone skin and keeping things feeling fresh and clean.

💜 Lavender — because angry-looking skin needs a little calm down, bestie. Lavender is wonderfully soothing and a beautiful addition when skin looks stressed.

✨ Frankincense — the mature-skin QUEEN. 👑 I love it for supporting the appearance of smooth, radiant, healthy-looking skin—which matters when we’re addressing breakouts and the signs of aging.

Combined with thoughtfully chosen doTERRA skincare, these beauties give me a gorgeous holistic option for caring for mature, blemish-prone skin without making the experience feel harsh or aggressive.

Because at 40, 50, 60+… we’re not trying to “dry the crap out of a zit.” 😂
We’re supporting the whole skin barrier while giving our skin what it needs to look balanced, healthy and radiant.

That’s what Beauty with Intention means to me. 💜

🌿 Rooted in nature.
✨ Guided by intention.
💆‍♀️ Where results meet restoration.

And YES—you can absolutely incorporate doTERRA into your customized facial at Hope In the Mirror.

Because you deserve skincare that meets your skin where it is today.

✨ Maybe you didn’t randomly see this today. ✨

Slow down…

Unclench your jaw.
Drop your shoulders.
Take a deep breath.
And then take another one. 🤍

You spend so much time pouring into everyone and everything around you.

When was the last time you poured some of that love back into YOU? Maybe this is your sign to book the facial. 💜 Click on the link in my bio to book your experience now!

Self-care doesn’t have to be earned.
Rest isn’t something you have to justify.
And taking an hour to be cared for isn’t selfish.

Sometimes, you just need a quiet room.
A warm bed.
Gentle hands caring for your skin.
A few deep breaths.
And permission to simply be.

At Hope In the Mirror, your facial is about more than beautiful skin.

It’s your time to slow down.
To exhale.
To be poured into for a change.
And to leave feeling a little more restored, a little more radiant, and a lot more like you. ✨

✨ Beauty with Intention.
✨ Results with Restoration.
✨ Confidence

Have you ever stopped to think about everything your skin absorbs each day?

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and what we put on it matters. 🤍

That’s one of the reasons I absolutely love offering my doTERRA Facial.

This treatment is for the person who wants beautiful, healthy skin while embracing a more holistic approach to self-care. It’s filled with naturally derived botanical ingredients and therapeutic-grade essential oils that help nourish, soothe, and support your skin—without relying on harsh synthetic ingredients.

Every breath of calming lavender…
Every drop of hydrating botanicals…
Every gentle touch…

It’s more than skincare.
It’s caring for yourself the way nature intended.

I believe you shouldn’t have to choose between effective skincare and ingredients you feel good about using.

You can have both.

If you’ve been searching for a facial that leaves your skin feeling fresh, radiant, and deeply cared for while surrounding you with the beautiful aromas and benefits of doTERRA, I would love to welcome you into my treatment room.

Come experience what plant-powered skincare feels like.

Your skin will thank you.
And I have a feeling your heart will, too. 💜

✨ Beauty with Intention.
✨ Confidence Reflected.

Girl!!!😆The towels may be endless, but so is my gratitude.
Every single one represents someone who chose to invest in themselves—and that’s worth every load. 💜✨ In Bloom Aesthetics + Med Spa

Who am I?! ✨ Gen X✨ Proud Aunt✨ Medical Esthetician✨ Believer that confidence starts with how you feel—not just how you look.

I grew up in a generation that figured a lot of things out on our own… and somewhere along the way, many of us were never really taught how to care for our skin.

That’s where I come in.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing facial, a DiamondGlow treatment, or simply someone to help you understand what your skin actually needs, my goal is the same: to create a personalized experience that leaves you feeling refreshed, confident, and cared for.

Because healthy skin isn’t about perfection.
It’s about looking in the mirror and loving the reflection looking back.

If you’ve been putting yourself last, consider this your sign that it’s your turn. 💗

Being Gen X, we learned more about tanning than taking care of our skin. 😅 Baby oil. Sun-In. Sleeping in makeup. We did the best we knew with the information we had.

The good news? It’s never too late to start!

Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if you used baby oil or Sun-In growing up—I know I’m not alone!

As a 51-year-old medical esthetician, I’m here to make skincare simple, approachable, and actually make sense. No judgment. No overwhelm. Just real education, personalized advice, and treatments that help you feel confident in the skin you’re in. 💕

Consider me your Esty Bestie… your skincare fairy godmother who’s here to help you unlearn the old habits and build healthy ones that last. ✨
