I hopped on the makeup bus late in life, but you know who didn’t? My 13 year old. At this very moment she is locked in her bathroom after declaring that a “heavy makeup session is going down”. Good for her. Unlike me, she won’t be nearly 50, struggling to figure out what blush to use, how to use it, only to give up in despair and revert back to a “natural look”….
At no other time in human history have we faced such a large collection of potential immune challenges. We’re dealing with a toxic food chain, pollutions of all kinds, high levels of stress, and thousands and thousands of human-made chemicals that have never existed in nature before.

My mission in life is to help women become free. Free from overeating, binge eating, chronic dieting, chronic exercising, food rules, poor health and looking in the mirror and only ever seeing their “problem areas”.

What might you be losing out on? What do you REALLY want in life? It’s time to get your life back. Maybe even get a better life than ever before.
