Galentine's Day Facial Party

We had a fabulous party (a virtual party)!

Valentine's shouldn't just be for lovers. It should be a celebration of love, in all forms including the most common and yet most unremarked-upon kind of love: female friendships so we celebrated!

We pulled out our facial products, got into comfy clothes, brought along a libation of choice and spent two fun filled hours of self-care and laughter.

Laryssa and I will guided the group through a step-by-step facial treatment - the next best thing to having a facial.

Thank you all for joining us. Let's do it again!!!
