NEW JOURNEY

Skin Indulgence has been through allot of changes in the past couple of years, some good and some not so good. Changes that have affected the shop professionally and changes that have affected me (Karen/owner) on a personal level. And the economy has put its two cents in also, if you will.


I want to take a few minutes of your time to share a new journey I am on in hopes that you will join me while I travel this path. There are sure to be some laughs (how can there not be with me), a few bumps, even some tears but guaranteed a whole lot of new things to learn!

A couple months ago I learned that I have type 2 diabetes. Now before you go into your “poor thing” or “that’s too bad” mode, know that it really isn’t all that bad; at least not on most days. Seeing we caught it in the early stages, I don’t have to have insulin shots, praise the Lord for that. But I am on medication 3 times a day and have to test my blood two times a day (And that wasn’t so fun in the beginning or sometimes even now, seeing I have quite the fear of needles; a posting for another day).

With all the new things going on in my body and new medication, my skin is on over drive as well as my hair, nails, the way my make wears, not to mention my emotions. As a Christian woman with a personal relationship with Christ, I know He has my back on this! Despite the gloomy out look, that some have, I believe new doors are opening in many areas of my life, thus a new journey! I want to share the ups and downs of this new adventure and all the things I am learning through my personal experiences with skin care, make-up, hair care and even tips on food and exercise along with the emotional side of things in hopes that you will be blessed and learn something for yourself or someone else you know that my be dealing with these or similar issues. Please feel free to leave comments, questions or ideas and check back every week or so for new postings!!

God has placed me in front of the mirror to be Face 2 Face with Beauty and has asked me “What is beauty?” So I ask you, what is beauty to you? As for me, it is many things and I’m just starting down the road to finding out what true beauty is…. Will you join me?
