Happy Holidays!
Wow, what a year it’s been! On the professional front, things have been an absolute whirlwind. I published my new book, Skinthesis, launched a consulting business tailored to estheticians, and brought my skincare practice back to pre-pandemic levels. To call it "busy" feels like an understatement—but honestly, all this craziness has been fulfilling beyond words.
I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have a career that I love and clients who inspire me every day. Whether you’re savoring the holiday magic or just trying to make it through the season, know that I’m cheering for you. Here’s to an amazing holiday season and an even better 2025!
Have you read this article about San Francisco's downtown revival? They only missed one key highlight—getting a facial from me! :) Read the article here. It's a breath of fresh air over the seemingly never-ending doom loop.
Below, you’ll find some updates, holiday gift ideas, and a sneak peek at what’s coming next year.
With affection & sunscreen,

Holiday Hours
I’ll be out of the office from December 24th to January 2nd, but rest assured—orders will still ship within 2 business days (excluding holidays).
- Need your order to arrive before the holidays? Be sure to place it by Tuesday, December 17th to beat the seasonal shipping delays.
Gift Ideas
You know me—I’m all about customization, so I don’t usually recommend gifting skincare unless you know exactly what someone uses. That said, here are a few universally great ideas for pretty much anyone with skin:
- Gift Certificates - send any whole dollar amount for a facial treatment or a product consultation! Purchase online to print, email instantly, or on a future date. (If you roll old school and want a paper certificate, we just have to arrange a pickup time.)
- Beauty of Hope Candles - I love this woman-owned company! Unique scents, a 60-hour burn time, and they donate 10% of their proceeds to charities working to end human trafficking.
- GrandeLash MD - Who doesn’t love great lashes? This cult-favorite serum really works (and yes, I use it myself).
Plans for 2025!
Here’s what’s on my radar for the new year:
Back to School: I’ll be heading to UCLA in February for Part 3 of Rebecca Gadberry’s legendary Skincare Ingredient course. There was so much to cover that she had to add a third section!
Website Refresh: A little digital facelift (see what I did there?) is in the works—especially for the mobile version. Stay tuned for updates!
Product Updates: A few favorite formulas are getting enhancements to make them better than ever.
Skin & Nutrition: I’ve been diving into the fascinating links between skin conditions, nutrition, and gut health. In 2025, I hope to pursue formal training in this area to expand my knowledge and be an even better resource for you.
Since Olive heard she is quite possibly the most popular thing I've put in my newsletter in years, she's asked that you put in a good word with Santa for her! :)
