A Message from Kathleen:

Dear Friends,

Are you on a weight control regimen? Not? Either way, as we age, our skin tends to get flabby.

I’m sharing the dry brushing technique that should accompany any weight control program to avoid batwings and crinkly skin.

Even if weight control isn’t in your wheelhouse, dry brushing keeps your skin young and firm, plus it’s a sensual pleasure.

Be well,

Kathleen

How to Be Well in Unwell Times

If you wake up anxious these days, you’re not alone. Between the news cycle, global uncertainty, and the chaos of daily life, it can feel like the world is spinning faster than we can catch our breath. I’ve been feeling more anxious than usual myself lately—partly because of everything happening in my own life, and partly because so much in the world feels beyond our control. And yet, even in times like these, it’s still possible to find a sense of calm—to create a small pocket of peace within yourself that isn’t so easily shaken by what’s happening outside.
