This year our focus is on leadership and self-care. We asked our leadership honorees to tell us how they incorporate self-care into their busy life.
True self-care, like beauty, starts within. One’s spirit must be serene, at peace, and aligned through meditation, a clean diet, and soul-stirring healing. When we make our spiritual cleansing a priority, the rest will follow suit, giving our sacred temple a chance to align and support what the day has in store.
As a makeup artist for 44 years, I incorporate beauty enhancements to create a natural emphasis on self-care inside and out. I believe that when we feel beautiful, we look beautiful.
Every woman has an opportunity to leave a lasting, beautiful imprint wherever she’s been, at any time, at any age; OWN it! Beautiful Onyx woman!
