Introduction to this blog

My decision to start this blog was two fold.

First, to enlighten the average person that is confused about all of the conflicting skin and body care information out there. There are so many treatments and skin products that it can boggle the mind when a person walks down an isle of beauty products. What do you buy? What service do you ask for when booking a spa facial? What body treatment is best for you? I intend to address these questions and many more with this blog.

Second, to talk about the business I love, share my knowledge and experience and hopefully turn you, the reader into an avid spa addict! Yes, I truly believe it is one of the best ways to help relieve stress. And it is NOT just for women. Men are finally finding that they need the spa experience as well. What better way to survive in our high stress world than to get a relaxing massage or facial?

Now at this point I feel the need to state the following,

DISCLAIMER!!! I am not here to promote any certain product or any certain treatment. I am only here to try to be informative. Answer some questions that you may have and help you make informed choices about what you put on your skin and what you may choose to do to improve your looks. YOU are the only person that can know what is right for you.

If I write about a certain treatment available or product it is for information purposes ONLY! IT IS NOT AN ADVERTISMENT FOR THAT SERVICE OR PRODUCT!

Ok, that being said let me give you some background about myself.

I have been in the business of beauty since 1972.  I started out in the cosmetology (hair ) end of the business. Then a few years later continued my education to expand into the wonderful world of Esthetics,Spa services. Facials, Pedicures, Body treatments and Massage. I also did Permanent Make-Up for 15 years.

 I was trained by Elizabeth Lipp,one of the best Estheticians in her day.

Elizabeth came to this country from Austria. Elizabeth held an impressive list of accomplishments in her career, including working for the esteemed Elizabeth Arden. She thought me the European way of doing Facials and Massage. I learned so much from her and continue to feel blessed for having been able to learn from one of the best! Since then I have taken a wide verity of classes to continue my education, to further my knowledge of skin care. I am what is considered an advanced esthetician.

I currently work at the Day Spa at Salon Elizabeth in Sterling Heights,Michigan

I continue to learn everyday and educate myself as much as I can so that I can be a source of knowledge to my clients. I feel privileged to be in a business that helps people to feel better about their appearance and their overall well being.

I hope that you will find this blog informative and will feel free to write me with any questions or concerns. I will do my best to help you or at the least steer you in the direction of someone who can!
