This is the lovely Melanie, of HD Beauty. This cozy and comfortable room is where I had my facial.

“My passion, education, and experience in the aesthetics industry spans 15+ years and my equipment that I utilize in my treatment room is the best(highest quality, manufacturing, and result oriented) on the market today! With a variety of non-invasive result oriented facial treatments under one roof- my customized and result-oriented treatments are second to none! My space is exclusive and intimate!”

I recently visited HD Beauty  for a relaxing and heavenly facial. Melanie Trehan, Master Esthetician was my technician and I have to say she really knows her stuff! Between product knowledge and knowing how to customize my skincare, specifically for my needs using the best skin tightener and other great products.

Sugar Peppermint scrub, by Lalicious. Just in time for the holidays! It smells divine!

HD Beauty is located in Rancho Bernardo, locally in San Diego. My appointment started out with a quick chat with Melanie about what my concerns or problem areas were. I have been learning to get to know my problem areas a little more since I turned 40. I have some dark spots on my cheeks and my forehead from the relentless sun worship I participated in during my teens and 20’s. Melanie knew exactly what to do to help to lighten the spots. I was so impressed with how much lighter the spots on my cheeks are and how baby soft my skin is now! What a huge difference! While they are still there, they have faded considerably.

There's an assortment of holiday products to try. Your skin will thank you!

What I loved about my treatment was that Melanie let me know exactly what she was doing. She walked me through every step.  She showed me which products she used after my facial and let me know what each product did. There are a few things I can add to my skin care regime and I am excited to get started.

The truth is, when I was in my 20’s and even in my 30’s, I didn’t take care of my skin. I had beautiful skin, but I always complained about the little things. Now that I’m in my 40’s, I see how important it is to take care of my skin. I started getting into a routine only recently and I’ve already seen a huge improvement with the care I’ve been giving my skin. Melanie assured me that it is never too late to get to start a skin care routine.

Isn't this box beautiful? I think I need to do some exfoliating!

The dry weather has been punishing my skin, plus I run outdoors, which means I am in the sun a lot. I am working hard to try to give my skin the nourishment that it so needs. If you’re like me, there’s really never a bad time to have a facial! If you are needing to rejuvenate your skin, relax, and pamper yourself, this gift certificate is going to be just what you need around the holidays.

These sound good enough to eat!

My facial was complimentary, in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

    If I won, I think I’d keep the prize for myself. I haven’t been doing much self care this year, and I definitely need it!

    I would love to keep it myself, but I would give it to my sister. She told me that she almost cries some nights when she looks in the mirror, and that just broke my heart. She is so beautiful.

2020 was weird. There were good times and bad. I'm 2020 was weird. There were good times and bad. I'm glad that we made it through. I am looking forward to starting fresh in 2021. I have a lot of #goals for #2021. Many are recycled from last year's #visionboard, but that's okay. I have my canceled #marathon coming up in May. I'll finally apply to #lawschool and follow my dreams, wherever they take me.  Happy new year!

For Christmas, hubby's car needed to be replaced. We bought a #minicooper last week and he's over the moon. The green is amazing! I love how it stands out! He met me at the finish to drive me back to the start. What a fun car!

Time is doing things to my face, and that's okay. Time is doing things to my face, and that's okay. I finally got my hair done for the first time in 2020. I had previously got a covid cut in the backyard several months back, but this was the first time having a professional do my hair ALL. YEAR. I felt so good, I came home and put my pajamas on. 😂 It's been a really hard year, but I have grown so much this year and I'm not just talking about my pants size. 😂 Life is good.

This is where it all started. This was where our f This is where it all started. This was where our first date happened. More than a quarter of a century ago, Eric asked me on a date and took me to the restaurant on the end of this pier. As it happened, my mom ended up joining us. This was a fortuitous twist, as Eric forgot his wallet, and I didn't have any money, as a starving college student.

I started my 5 mile run at that same pier. I smiled to myself, remembering simpler times that, at the time, didn't seem so simple. I breathed in the fresh air and hung on to these memories. I am so grateful for the blind date that worked out to be our love story.

It's beginning to look more like Christmas and my running soul is enjoying every single sighting of Christmas joy. It seems like there's a lot of people that are hurting right now, in the community. We're going to have to work together to spread joy this year and help fill those needs that families have this year. How can I be of service today?
