It’s 2023 and it’s great to be back! After 2 years, my column is now active and I can’t wait to share more ideas, advice and beauty know-hows.
NEW YEAR, NEW YOU – Isn’t this is our favorite mantra whenever the new year starts? It is, after all, an effective way to tell ourselves that we are doing something new for our benefit. But the question here is, “do we really achieve this?” Do we really become a new (and improved) version of ourself? Sad to say but most of the time, we don’t. This is one of the reasons why I keep saying “Beauty is a lifestyle.”
It takes more than just following beauty tips, a fad diet or changing your exercise routine to achieve overall wellness and maintain it. It takes a change of mindset, a routine — and sticking to it.
To achieve beauty in all aspects, we should see the bigger picture. Without trying to sound quite preachy, let me share with you a very important lesson: Your body is more valuable than anything. And to keep our body healthy, we have to consciously remind ourselves of what we put in our body. We also have to have the right motivation.
When you exercise, do yoga, or enroll in a weight loss program, your goal is to look good but I remind my clients that “looking good” is just the bonus. You would eventually see past that and to realize that doing those for health reasons is a much sustainable goal and a greater motivating factor. And this is what I motivate my clients with. We all age. That is a fact of life.
But picture yourself “aging gracefully;” enjoying your precious time traveling, spending quality time with your family, not having to be under any any medication as you go through your 60s and 70s (or even further!) The good news is: It can be achieved. All you need is the right motivation and the proper tools.
That said; in line with starting the “new year (with the) new You,” I am thrilled to share what we have going at the “newly-improved” iSkin and MiSkin MedSpas for the past year or so. We have recently embraced the concept of rebranding and taking our brand and services to the next level.
