This is a follow-up to last months blog post about mindfulness, meditation and breathwork AND and an amazing experience I had a couple of years ago with a Skin Care Master. I had the President/Co-founder of a popular, well-known European skincare company on my table for a facial, and mind you this person has given tens of thousands of facials, and probably received just as many. I’ve been at my job for 11+ years, this person lives in another country and had never been to our spa and I found out the day before that I would be working on this person. Admittedly, while I was not totally familiar with this person, I am VERY familiar with the skin care LINE and it is one I have used, loved, adored and actually dreamed about working with years ago!

I was nervous to say the least, but I literally, in the moment, recognized that I was WAY more composed, comfortable and well spoken, and NOT as nervous as I would have expected, or as I have been in similar past circumstances in my life. I give huge credit to my Soma Breath training and practice and maybe even more so, to the 90 day challenge I had just completed a couple months prior. 90 days recording myself speaking about whatever the subject was that day (sometimes nothing more than a ramble) is a GREAT practice for all kinds of communication/speaking tweaks. Not only did I feel more comfortable, I really enjoyed my time and stayed present in my experience with this amazing artist.

We had a GREAT conversation and I was complimented and tipped generously…so that tells me I didn’t fall apart. This person said they were going to send me some products, after we talked about some of my favorites, and super happy AND GRATEFUL to note, I did indeed receive a generous variety of the products as promised! It was a super cool connection and so I am so grateful for the experience. While I am “happily married” to my current skin care line, I did have a most awesome experience with a Skin Care Line Founder and President, who, admittedly, I didn’t really know much about, but again LOVE the line.

After the facial, I did a little research and learned his childhood was riddled with illness and his mother and Aunt both practiced very holistic lifestyles and this influenced and healed and ultimately inspired him to create his organic skin care line, again, one I absolutely LOVE! Eminence and the great Boldijarre Koronczay, who was very gracious and has quite the story! Thank you, Boldijarre! I am humbled, honored and appreciative of your presence in my treatment room! Thank you for the products, feedback and your contribution to the skin care industry! ….and now, to track down an email for a proper thank you!

EDIT: My boss subsequently ran in to him and he mentioned his treatment AND receiving my thank you letter. Quite the experience and feeling so much gratitude!
