What an incredible beginning to the weekend! I had the pleasure of visiting @pradabeauty and @remedyplace in Soho. As many moms know, self-care time is a rare luxury. It’s always about the family or work, and running after a toddler ain’t for the weak. After a long week, it was incredibly refreshing to unwind at #remedyplace and learn about #pradathehand. I’m absolutely obsessed with the newest line and love the silky texture of the cream. It feels like a luxurious face lotion for hands. I can’t wait for you all to try it out! This is going to be my go-to product for myself and all my clients. Thank you so much, @pradabeauty and @remedyplace , for having me! I love that I can get my spa services done and continue shopping all in the same area. This is truly a life-changing experience! #lifechanging
Couple weeks ago I came to the salon to do my nails. Unfortunately, that morning my nail drill just gave up and did not want to start. It was done with its life and it said goodbye without any notice. I was very baffled because I’ve been with this nail drill since 2018. I thought it would at least have the decency and let me know that it was on its way out before dying on me instead of just ghosting me. I was panicking because I had a full day. So I had to rushed home to get my other semi bootleg nail drill. She was also way older than the one that ghosted me but because I am a hoarder, I didn’t throw it out. Even though it doesn’t charges you know it still turns on and it will work if I have it plugged in. Anywayssss I was panicking because I need a proper replacement. I need a nail drill who i knew I could count on because now I have #naildrillPTSD (yes it’s a real thing 😂)
I reached out to my agent at @theonly.agency who contacted @kiaraskynails BECAUSE their products have never failed me. I loved their dust collector and top coat and have been using them for years!! THEY SAVED MY LIFE and sent me a new rechargeable nail drill!! And this is the exact moment I got it 😂 thank you so much @kiaraskynails I will love this drill long time 🥰🥰😘😘😘
So excited to announce to that I have joined @theonly.agency 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m really excited to be part of this dynamic team. Looking forward to this next journey in my career. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
