Come decorate pumpkins with us! We could all use a little more joy in our lives right now, right? So we’re going to decorate real pumpkins with natural dried flowers in an attempt at whimsy without using a bunch of plastic destined for the landfill. Bring your friends, get creative, and spend a Sunday morning doing something fun just because you can.
Sunday, October 4 at 10am. Tickets available on shopshimmerbeauty.com.

On a positive note, the fall bar soaps are here! I really don’t know which thought made you guys more sad… The thought of losing Shimmer or the thought of not being able to get more of the soap 🤣 Just in time for crisp-weather season, everyone’s favorite pumpkin lavender is back, along with new arrivals like pumpkin chai latte, Holland hard c***r, autumn apple fest and more! Head to shopshimmerbeauty.com to grab yours. Don’t forget, in-store pick up is available at checkout!

Thank you so much for all of your kind words and support after my last post. I’m taking things one day at a time right now and figuring out what the future holds. I’m also working on some plans for the weekends ahead, when shopping tends to be a little easier for people, so I’ll have more to share about that soon.

And because I don’t really know how I’m supposed to just go back to posting regular Shimmer content right now... I’m going to do my best to ease back into it while still keeping it real with you!

Based on the common questions I received over the past few days, here’s what I can give for updates:

1. I currently have no plans to move to a new location, nor is that a realistic option right now for a few reasons.

2. Don’t worry, reorders like One Love Organics, RMS, sheet and eye masks and everyone’s favorite bar soaps are coming

3. Makeup Lessons are still continuing. My availability is on shopshimmerbeauty.com.

4. I have two events planned for October, including another Plant Bingo with Local Blooms x Flowers by NR and pumpkin decorating because I had such a blast last year and we could all use a little joy right now! Beyond that, who knows!

Thank you again for being here! I hope you all do something for yourselves this weekend. And if that happens to take place in downtown New Bedford at one of your favorite local small businesses, well isn’t that just an added bonus for everyone!

Back at it today 11-4 ✌🏻

I am taking the day to rest and will see you tomorrow! Ruthie and I started the day with a lovely walk (and photoshoot) at Fort Phoenix. It’s perfect out there today! Enjoy!
