Listening to a @supersoul episode recently reminded me of the time I was attacked while walking to school when I was 14. Some idiot came up behind me and knocked me down while groping me. As I’ve always been feisty, I fought back and let out a string of spicy sentence enhancers and he took off.🤬 As a recent business traveler I was always aware of my surroundings and safety. One tip from the episode that is very important for my fellow sisters who walk alone is Do Not Wear Headphones in Both Ears, especially when it’s dark out. Be aware of your surroundings constantly! Every few minutes turn around and look behind you and look oncomers straight in the eyes and let them know you see them! Let me know your safety tips in the comments so we can all learn from each other.

Countdown to 50 continues with mimosas for breakfast in one of my favorite places. 🏔
I’ll be honest, my first impulse was to airbrush out the line down the middle of my forehead. I’m all about transparency and honesty in others but when it comes to posting my flaws there’s a real struggle. I’m still vain and have societal expectations ingrained in me, but I’m trying hard to get past them. Not saying I won’t get Botox ever again but also not ever going to let you think everything is flawless because of some “miracle” treatment or product. One day I hope to truly embrace the whole aging is a privilege idea, truthfully I’m not completely there. How about you?

“Vast open sky
Could do no harm
Like an embrace
From mother's arms
In sunlight
In sunlight.”
————————————————— Cheers to the weekend, IG friends! I haven’t seen the sun in several days days so I’m venturing out for a hike later....obviously covered in SPF and a hat! I’d love to know what exciting plans you have this weekend??? #nosunlight #weekendadventures #girlswhohike #estheticianlife #spfdaily #protectyourskin #healthyskin #vitamind #over40 #westcoastbestcoast #pointlobos #californialiving #hikingadventure

I’m so grateful for this well aging device. Microcurrent has been a skin saver for me since I haven’t had Botox in over a year now. This is not a one and done treatment, it needs to be an ongoing commitment. ————————————————
I’m in good company with my love of microcurrent. Celebrity estheticians @joannavargasnyc @shanidarden and my amazing friend @bondenavant all rave about this treatment. “Microcurrent works in harmony with the body's natural electrical system to: Increase circulation. Promote collagen and elastin production. Dramatically increase ATP (adenosine triphosphate)” Have you tried it?

Though I avoid the sun on my skin like the plague, I’m so grateful for blue skies and sunshine. As an esthetician I’m stuck in a dark room all day. Now that the time has changed it will be pitch black when I leave work. 😭 Trying to be mindful to step outside during my breaks. Hope you’re enjoying blue skies too! 😘 #attitudeofgratitude #begratefuleveryday #enjoythelittlethingsinlife #californian #norcal #gratitudejournal #blueskiesandsunshine #estheticianlife

I’m so grateful for hiking with friends. This was supposed to be a picture with @debghealth but we always get so engrossed in catching up we forget to take a photo! 🙈 Tag your friends who make you forget to pull out your phone! #phonefree #girlswhohike #walkinginnature #getmoving #over40 #over40andfit #huffingandpuffing #westcoast #hiking_hobby #stayactive #getoutdoorsmore #friendshipgoals #mycalifornia #losgatos #almost50 #novemberchallenge #gratitudedaily

“You're the reason that I feel so strong
The reason that I'm hanging on
You know you gave me all the time
Oh, did I give enough of mine?
Hold on, darling
This body is yours,
This body is yours and mine
Well hold on, my darling
This mess was yours,
Now your mess is mine”
————————————————
Day 2 of gratitude has me grateful that this crazy boy didn’t hesitate to take on the mess I was over 27 years ago, and believe me my baggage was overflowing. Sometimes you can change all on your own but I’m so glad that I had someone who believed in me when I didn’t believe there was any good in me. #gratitude #attitudeofgratitude #yourmessismine #novemberchallenge #hothubby #emptynesters #turnyourlifearound #lifeisbeautiful #happywifehappylife #over50club #believeinyourself

“Welcome sweet November, the season of senses and my favorite month of all.” Truthfully, I love December just as much. This is my favorite time of year. I get to come out of hibernation as the sun isn’t as intense, but still damaging so keep the sunscreen flowing all year! ————————————————
I’m starting the month off with gratitude. This picture was from last November, I knew in my heart that my job was sucking the life out of me and it would be the last time I flew to Boston for work and not for pleasure. I’m so grateful that I’m not in an airport every week! What are you grateful for at this moment?

Fall is the perfect time for more intense treatments like peels. A light peel can help jumpstart a routine to repair damage caused by too much fun in the sun. A glycolic peel is perfect as it helps accelerate your skin’s natural cell turnover and keeps those pores clean. Also perfect as there’s no downtime with these peels. There’s no reason to get over aggressive with treatments, gentle can be very effective while keeping the skin healthy. #glycolicacid #glycolicpeel #estheticianlife #professionalskincare #fallskincare #skincaretips #facialtreatment #spalifestyle #naturabisse #skinceuticals #skintherapist #losaltos #paloalto #bayarealife #healthyskinisin #glowingskinisalwaysin #ageinggracefully

My first purchase of #kbeauty sunscreen. So far so good! Included a rare unfiltered, and unflattering, eye-makeup free photo in an effort to keep things real. I’m growing increasingly tired of the expectation for women to always appear flawless, (no such thing) and forever youthful. Real women have dark circles, large pores, and/or a multitude of imperfections. At the same time, I’m not enjoying watching these changes, just to be totally honest. Trying hard to accept these changes as part of the natural order while making an effort to hold on to what I’ve got. How are you doing with your changing face and body? —————————————-

I’ve opened a Pandora’s Box. I’ve been catching up on the Theranos scandal, holy moly! I’m absolutely intrigued and baffled, one of those “you can’t make this stuff up” crazy occurances here in the Silicon Valley. Am I the only one who didn’t know about this scandal? What’s the last rabbit hole you fell down? A true crime series, podcast, or book you’re obsessed with? Where’re my obsessive “should’ve been a detective” peeps at? #pandorasbox #downarabbithole #theranos #truecrimejunkie #siliconvalley #guiltypleasures #paloalto #documentary #badblood #bingewatching
