A Little Bit About the Soul of my Skin

Lately, I’ve been feeling inspired, yet I’m stuck. I’ve been “stuck” over the last several years, actually. 

I’m a 27 year old licensed Esthetician and I have realized that my mental & physical health have been screaming at me to get my sh*t together. 

It wasn’t until recently where life had served me yet again another piece of that sweet humble pie, and I had no choice but to listen and learn from the choices I was making. 

Hello, my name is Ruby and I’m starting this blog to help educate others about the importance of skin care, tips & tricks in the world of waxing, and also showing that our outward appearance isn’t the only thing that matters.

I think everyone can agree that when you look your best, you feel your best, and skin health is on the top of the list of helping someone achieve just that. 

I became an Esthetician when I was twenty years old, when a wrinkle was the last thing on my mind, but now being in my late twenties, skin care is something I have diligently made a priority. 

While my skin has always been on the healthier side – I was extremely lucky as a teenager and didn’t suffer from acne or other skin concerns – I came to realize that my mental and physical well being was always lacking. As outgoing & loud as I am, anxiety is something that cripples me to this day. 

I didn’t realize until I was a lot older how much it actually affected me when I was a child. I was slightly active growing up but just the thought of going to the gym now makes me want to scream, which has my body aching and not in the best shape I would like to be in. 

This is why I want to share my story and connect with other people who feel the same or simply want to know more about the realm of skin care. However, I don’t want to only focus on the science of the skin when our mental, spiritual, & physical health is begging us to pay attention. 

I want to help people embrace who they are in their own skin while helping them listen to what their body is saying. 

Very intimate & personal, I know. 

Being diligent on my skin care routines while coping with life gave me the reality check I needed to focus on the other aspects of my life that needed extra love. 

Once I started seeing results in my skin, I got to thinking how being consistent in other areas I need to improve would start changing my life. 

Maybe you will start on your mental or spiritual health journey first, and in doing so you may turn towards your path of what your beauty/skin care needs are. 

Maybe you’ll have realized that you need to hit the gym and get that habit going before focusing on your other needs. Wherever you start first is okay! Just start somewhere. Baby steps still means you’re moving forward.  

Expect to see the good, the bad, and the ugly thrown into this blog. I think it is important to understand that self care isn’t always face masks and bubble baths, so some of the content won’t always be about the joys of pampering oneself. 

Skin care will cover a lot of the posts of my blog, but I also plan on writing things about our soul selves and how we can learn to navigate our higher presence. 

Some posts will talk about bad habits, mental struggles and more. Self care also means acknowledging some of those traits about yourself that aren’t so great. 

But remember, you’re still a great human being. 

I promise that these posts will be honest and a safe space for whoever reads and relates to my words when it comes to the not so fun topics.

I personally want to thank anyone who reads and subscribes to my blog. Thank you for giving me a safe space to share my knowledge and express my feelings. 

xoxo, Ruby
