Season Bright

Houston probably won’t have a white Christmas, truth be told. But we can expect an evergreen holiday season, glittering with festive party frocks, chic resort pieces and, thanks to some of the city’s top jewelers, beautiful bling.

Med Spa Owner

As a small business owner, I get to wear many hats. I became an Aesthetician to gain more knowledge about the services my business was going to provide, thinking that I will only focus on the administrative side of the business. Soon I became the business administrator and the lead Aesthetician. Currently, I am hands-on with our social media and marketing promotions, in addition to my regular facial clients.
