As I get ready to return to work after my surgery, I am filled with insane emotions that have me all over the map but one thing I’ve become really good at is covering my scar thanks to root lifting products, teasing combs and texture spray🤘🏻👩‍🦰
Being 5’10” is also magical while trying to conceal, because I am taller than 99% of my clients 😉😉

This insanely warm, wonderful, crazy generous and uber wise and talented woman gave me one of the best and most emotional days of my life this past Saturday. I don’t know how and if I could ever possibly show you how grateful I am and what it means to me on so many levels. Your masterclass blew me away and I felt honored to be part of the positive, uplifting and supportive environment you created in that space with palpable energy that was so real and powerful. I will never forget. I adore you
Until next time…💖💖💖
Much love and gratitude always.

Another great thing to do while resting and healing, and an incredible form of self-care, if you can, is get a Dermaplaning treatment and Hydrafacial from Sandy! Danya does them too!
You can see in these before and after photos there is a huge difference in my skin. During the past few weeks, I’ve hardly had the energy to really take care of my skin. I haven’t put on makeup, I haven’t done any exfoliation, I’m basically just cleansing and moisturizing and probably barely doing that. Today was just what I needed. Now my pores are clean and my skin is glowing. All the dead skin is gone, and I feel like a new person.
Besides the treatment itself, which was out of this world, just lying down on the heated facial bed, and having someone take care of me was so amazing and healing in its own way. I also got to see Danya and Sandy today (and say hi to two special clients while I was there) and that lifted my spirits.
I came home feeling accomplished, but exhausted, and took a two hour nap💤
✨Go me✨
Progress is good energy and today there was progress. Woohoo!!!!

The love I have for my husband Chris, still today, after 25 years of marriage is unprecedented. You have gone way above and beyond your call of duty my love, this past month especially. Who knew you were such a good nurse on top of everything else?💖 I have never felt love the way I have with you. It’s different, deep and lasting. It’s vulnerable. Sometimes It’s messy and sloppy and cut wide-open and that’s OK. It’s real. I love our journey together. Just us trying to be the best we can be for each other and for our marriage and for our family. Always❤️❤️❤️

Happy 25th anniversary to my rockstar ✨✨✨✨✨

SILVER BABY!!!!!

As long as there are forward moving days…

I’m feeling hopeful about the two week mark this Wednesday and my post op on Thursday where I can literally reclaim my head and have any hardware removed that won’t be staying with me permanently 😉

This girl wants to shampoo her scalp with some quality pressure instead of tiptoeing around surgical staples🤯

Ahhhhh big life dreams😎

Tomorrow is another day.
Another day for progress.

So for today I’m going to cross off my list the seemingly impossible task of showing myself some grace ✅

More (and lighter) to come….

I miss seeing your gorgeous brows and faces each day.
Soon🤗

Today was a good day 💖
After not sleeping AGAIN last night (kind of getting used to that)
I got out with Chris to ☕️☕️
We sat outside at the super cheery yellow table and chairs☀️ The sun on my face at 11am felt incredible 😎
Existing in my own bubble, I see the face of one of my favorite clients (turned friend) walking toward me with her beautiful baby girl, baby bump and wonderful husband. She was crying. Which made me cry. Turns out that she was crying bc she was so happy to see that I was ok. (That’s what she told me💖) that meant more to me than I can explain. I adore her. She knows who she is🥰
This interaction and hug meant soooooo much today. It was so uplifting and I want her to know that I love her to pieces. 🥰
The day continued to the Piermont Farmers Market with Justin and Chris and I was so happy to be out with them, walking kind of normal and feeling hopeful for what feels like the first time since I got home.
The plums and treats were so good.
Maybe it was the fact that I was out and about and I actually felt social!
Maybe it was because I wasn’t groggy.
Or maybe it was the incredible weather and time spent with two of my favorite people - but missing my girl of course.
It doesn’t matter.
It was good. And I feel so grateful tonight.

Soooooo right now I feel awesome and super exhausted and hopeful all at the same time.
Yay🤗
Two steps forward.
Today was a freaking good day✅
✨
And I think blush and lip gloss helped a ton😉

More to come…

Please remember this is MY story and this is also how I am working through my experience.
We are all different.
I never thought in a million years I’d be writing publicly about this but life is full of surprises.
If what I am feeling/doing helps someone with their prepping/healing journey, my heart is full.

One week ago today I came home from the hospital and it feels like it’s been a month.

What can I say about today? The first half of the day was amazing. I made it out to get an iced coffee with Chris and it was so nice to get out and see faces I love. Like really really nice 💖 maybe I will see someone I know! Should I at least put some blush on? Nope🙅‍♀️
Then I came home, relaxed and did some laptop work, spent some time chatting with Justin and felt happy and hopeful. I’m thinking this is me turning a corner. So excited🤗
Fast forward to the afternoon after strolling through a nursery loving the pumpkins, chickens, pottery and mums…I got home and felt like my ass got handed to me. Almost instantly. It started in the car on the way home actually. Maybe even walking in the greenhouse if I’m being honest. It was more emotional than physical perhaps. But definitely both.
I found myself so sad and down with tears just flowing freely while I tried my hardest to stop them. I’m frustrated and overwhelmed. I’ve been absolutely stopped in my tracks. And I’m starting to really receive the message that it’s going to be one step forward and two steps back UNTIL it’s two steps forward and one step back. That day is coming.
I wish I knew how much of a roller coaster ride this would be. But it’s probably better I didn’t.
I look forward to the days ahead when MOST of my day is good instead of a small chunk. But I will take the small chunk bc it’s better than no chunk.
My support system is next level and don’t think I don’t know how lucky and blessed I am. I dream of how I can possibly show how thankful I am to those who have been taking care of me.
I meditate on wellness daily and for signs of happiness, joy and hope.

So today was freaking hard and awful but also there was progress. Chris has to remind me that sometimes💖

Another lesson in self love and compassion and allowing. Just allowing the process to happen and learn from my journey ✅
Also there is no such thing as too many blankets, dogs and robes when lounging around😎

More to come…✨✨

Please keep streaming recommendations coming..🤗

This pic pretty accurately represents how I felt this past week and THAT’S OK
My head feels heavy 🏋🏼‍♀️, I move slowly, I wonder why I’m so groggy and then I realize😉
I take naps and know I’m making progress🧠🥰

One of the lessons I am learning post op is this…
I must be kind to myself for MANY reasons but this one has been percolating:
I promised I’d send all of my clients an email the day after my surgery and the reality is I could barely function and was in survival mode. Not shocking. Shocking was thinking that I wouldn’t be in survival mode. 🤯

Work? Career? Brows?
Nothing.
It didn’t cross my mind at all.
But today it did! 🥰
Whew💖
And I finally emailed everyone. Yes it was short and sweet and it delivered the message. It was all that was needed today and it wiped me out. 😰

But It’s progress for sure✨
Can’t wait to see what progress I make in another week.

So, kindness toward myself in this moment is in the works ✅

Much love everyone 💖
More to come …

Something else I did the night before my procedure…
I demanded (lovingly) that my family stand up and do a group hug in the living room before I went to bed.
There was about 3 seconds of a “are we really doing this?” groan of annoyance but that quickly disappeared. I know they knew I was a nervous wreck. I couldn’t hide it. The hug was magical for me. I felt tighter grips from my kids than I have in years and those tight grips sent a wave of calm through me. But I was also crying, wanting desperately for no one to know (I still don’t know why I thought it would be so difficult for my family to see me scared and vulnerable-another revelation for another day)… plus, when do I not cry in big moments? This moment was huge. It was like all the love you can imagine wrapped around you just stamped into your heart for eternity. It was astronomical for me and I think if you asked them, they’d say my request wasn’t surprising. I only needed to feel them all around me and for them to know they are all that mattered we to me in that moment. That’s all🥰
So, pre-op family hug…✅

Here we go…
Another thing I highly recommend doing before brain surgery is…
Get your ass to the beach and swim in the waves!
I knew that this was a must do for me because the beach is my happy place. I needed to submerge my head beneath the waves and feel the energy of the water. For me it’s healing. It calms my nerves. It calms my body. Exactly what I needed. Lucky me, I have an angel friend in my life who let us stay at her beautiful beach house two weeks before my surgery 🏖️
God knows I wouldn’t be able to swim after surgery for quite a while 🌊☀️
I can’t wait to do it again 💖
Blessed for sure

So here we go…
Another thing I highly suggest doing before going in for brain surgery:

Get your roots colored!👩‍🦰✅

Maybe it’s just vanity, but I always feel better when there’s no gray showing.
I am one of the lucky ones because I did not have to have my hair shaved. They just simply parted it and the thought of them parting my hair and having gray roots freaked me out.🫣
Plus now I know while I’m recovering I won’t have any gray hair and I can feel even better about myself while I recover🥰
Every little thing helps 😎😎

More to come…✨

I have had several clients/friends ask me to put up little stories about my experience going into and coming out of brain surgery, so I thought… Why not? Here goes✨

Things to do/don’t do before going in for brain surgery ….
Get a mani and pedi of course✅
Why? Gotta look good right? Look good feel good right? I thought so. Not so much. Nothing feels good coming out of surgery 🤯
This nail polish that I loved so much and wanted desperately got many a compliment by the incredible staff at Hackensack hospital but did nothing for me as far as feeling good. But I am crazy happy I have it now! Total score.
Besides that and maybe more importantly …
The anesthesiologist wasn’t able to place the pulse oximeter properly to get a good blood oxygen reading because of the polish. When I woke up it was taped somewhere else at a fun angle. Oooops.
I checked the paperwork. It wasn’t there. I swear.
Thank God for doctors who can laugh💖

Hello from the beach! This week I’ve traded my brow studio for my beach cruiser - I swear I’m happiest while riding this thing ☀️And yes, I have enough SPF on that I actually match the white sand 😎
I’m Taking some much needed time with my hubby before I go out on my leave.
I’m back at it next week!
I know it’s pretty impossible me to get an appointment right now but if you use the online waitlist there is always a chance!! And Danya is also available 😎
See you Brow babes next week! Much love and peace 🧘🏼‍♀️✌🏻💖
