Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid Serum.☀️

Vitamin C can help reduce the effects of sunburn and photoaging from exposure to UV rays. With the added benefits of hyaluronic acid, this serum also promotes an even, smooth complexion, while jojoba oil helps to balance the skin's natural oils. ✨

““I think it’s important for us as humans to think about what connects us to the present moment. How do we most enjoy spending time with ourselves? Always explore. New things surprise us everyday.

Simply put: we are all made up of genes that are conditioned by rewards, are remembered through memories, that teach us how we handle stress, that then finally inhibit our ability to make choices. PRESENT MOMENT thinking, allows us to find detachment for what no longer serves us. Detachment can give us the ability to slow down and see things in the here and now. I use music and singing to enhance what I try to give, remember and tell my brain everyday!

I think it’s so important to focus on what we give attention to each day. We all deserve to feel good and always create and grow in our expressions because it keeps us grounded.

Thank you for letting me share with you what has been very special and healing in my life and something I believe in in my practice as a social worker.” ~ Starr Bryan

Eating Disorders are often prompted by dieting & unfortunately some behaviors are promoted as “healthy.” They don’t have a certain look, they don’t discriminate & many struggle in silence. There is no shame & you’re not alone!

📖 Natalie shares how Yoga principles helped me overcome this part of my story along with other wellness tips in my book, “Loving Me.”

We are honored to welcome our new board member, Am

We are honored to welcome our new board member, Amy Hart!💕Amy is the Principal Designer and Owner of Dovetail Design & Cabinetry based in Charlottesville Virginia. She is a sought-after designer and has completed projects from coast to coast. She was named one of America’s 50 most Innovative Kitchen & Bath Professionals of 2019, and has been featured in various national Kitchen & Bath Design magazines, blogs and other platforms for her management style, business acumen and design portfolio.

Her personal story speaks volumes ~ as after multiple surgeries for Thyroid cancer and the after-effects of radiation therapy left her with scars on her face and neck, she fell into a dark depression.

Knowing she wasn’t the only one struggling with self-image, Amy stepped founded the 501c3 organization Big C New Me. They traveled the country partnering with Macy’s and Belk, offering free makeovers, haircuts, wigs and a new outfit for cancer survivors and their caregivers. In addition, each person received a professional photo shoot. When Big C New Me left town, these survivors had gained some confidence, a new community and local resources who understood their challenges. The organization had a great run, and did their last event in 2015.

She continues to advocate for and assist those who struggle with self-image, knowing the fingers of this reality go far beyond the individual and that moment in time. It permeates families, workplaces and other spaces leaving lasting impressions.
