Being one month married, a new wife, with a new perspective on life, I feel this is a refreshing and special time to share some gifts. Hopefully I can make you laugh, maybe cry (I am still Italian after all!) but mainly here to help inspire and motivate the flame inside of you to keep burning with upcoming blog posts.
Change is the only constant in life, and boy have I figured that out to be true. I love the lesson I have recently learned, that complacency gets you NOWHERE, and fast! I was working a sales job for a startup social/tech/digital company this past year. In that year, were some of the happiest moments in my life, but that was the one part of my life that didn't seem to fit at all. However, it may have not fit, but I was surely good at getting the job done. So, I worked. During this time, we got engaged in Napa (a great and beautiful trip), we decided to sell our condo in Westchester and seek out a home in Cold Spring where we knew we felt, well, AT HOME. In May was when it all came together, we chose a date and picked a house to move into. Full speed ahead. Very exciting time in our lives. Our town is a little "sleepy" river town, filled with some of the greatest and most creatively fun people we have ever met. I enjoy it so much, that when the day came where this company and I parted ways, I was so inspired to build my life, our lives, up here in Cold Spring. I took one day to look back and reflect on some of the lessons and changes that the year had brought to my life, but was so much more excited looking forward to what the year ahead was going to bring... and then the year after that and the year after that....
Flash forward to a few weeks of yoga and boat loads of wedding preparation, and we are at the BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES, our big day! Our family and friends filtered into this amazing town from all over the states and celebrated with us all over Cold Spring for an entire weekend. As if this town could get any cooler, or filled with better vibes. IT DID. It was so amazing, the energy, the light, and oh the love that filled this community was just BEYOND breath taking. My little town that I love so dearly, bustling with loved ones in and out of all the cool shops and bistros. Ah, I love it!
Leading up to the wedding, I of course, focused on wellness. I did yoga, I ate well, and scouted out all the local farmers markets, and I treated my skin to facials etc. I've fallen hard for a balanced life and realized that my life prior was not very balanced. I chose now, to focus my energy on maintaining balance and wellness. I have decided to work from home and free lance my marketing and sales business, which my skin care venture is the first order of business. Rodan + Fields Dermatologists. I bought some amazing product from a friend of mine leading up to the wedding. Not only did I need to get my mind, & body right prior but I also needed to be sure the skin was radiant and flawless. I was overwhelmed and quite frankly, down right sick of walking into Sephora and having them sell me on products that they have never used but have "heard" great things about. I couldn't come home with any more false promises. So, I saw my friends before and after pictures, inquired, asked some questions and started to use the UNBLEMISH line from R+F to control my oils and balance out the tone of my pores and skin. IT WORKED! I was hooked! I looked amazing at my wedding, and I decided that I should further my connection with R+F and ALSO sell it. Rodan & Fields are the two doctors (actively practicing dermatologists in San Fran) who created Proactiv and sold it after making their fortune. They treated the youth acne problems for years and decided to create the "grown up version" of Proactiv as well as 3 other regimens and tools to treat other common skin care conditions. R+F, their legacy and claim to fame.
After my wedding, when I felt that my skin and blemishes were under control, I decided to also work in the REDEFINE regimen for my skin in which will treat my skin in all of its layers to fight against the signs of aging. I have been using this product for over a month and I am receiving SO many compliments on my skin. My face no longer needs an ounce of makeup and believe it or not I feel better without anything on it. That is when everyone can see the different and notice the glow that I now have.
Needless to say, I am a proud consultant for Rodan + Fields Derms, and have been inspired by the direct marketing industry in which it thrives. I have also been inspired by wellness and fitness and will be continuing my journey by completing the Barre Certification/teacher training in NYC during November. I have decided to REDEFINE my life and build upon things that make me feel centered and balanced. Products and lifestyles that I believe in have now transformed into rewarding and inspiring WORK! Who would have thought?
I chose the quote above by Socrates because I feel that it sums up the path in life in which I am CHOOSING to follow and the life in which I am actively building. This blog is me sharing the gift of balance and inspiration during my journey and new beginnings. I thank you for reading and appreciate the support of my family and friends during the most invigorating time in my life. NAMASTE.
