I would not change any part of the journey. It's led me here. 💖

I have a very special place in my heart for nurses and medical staff. They give so much of themselves to others each and every day.

I genuinely enjoy seeing them on my table and creating a space where they don't have to be the one taking care of everyone else. It's my small way of giving back and saying "thank you" for all they do.

It's deeply personal to me.

My family has endured many medical hardships over the years, from ALS to cancer to most recently caring for my grandma in the hospital and assisted living home. I'm so grateful to medical staff and caregivers who came together to help my family and give comfort during a difficult time.

And nine years ago I experienced one of the scariest nights of my life. I was in Las Vegas with a friend during the Route 91 music festival mass shooting on October 1. As the night unfolded I thought about the flooded Las Vegas hospitals and what a horrific night the staff endured from the senseless act of violence. I wanted to say thank you to each and every one of them.

So this is my little way of doing that.

Nurses, medical staff, caregivers... you don't hear it enough:
You don't always need to be the strong one.
You don't always have to be the caregiver.
You deserve the kindness, compassion, and care that you give so freely to others.

We see you. We appreciate you. Thank you for your service. It's my honor to care for you. 💙

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share my whole heart 🤍

The dream of owning my own business started way back in beauty school when I was a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed nineteen year old. I’m so glad I finally took the leap. My younger self would be pretty proud of how far we’ve come.
