Hi Reader,

We're cruising through the holistic skincare mini-series, and we're now on skin type NUMBER FOUR (just one more to go!).

(I'm also sharing some takeaways from a wellness conference that I was honored to be a part of this past weekend, so KEEP READING if you want some FIREY inspiration for the work we're doing!!!)

Skin type number four...drumroll please...MATURE SKIN!

Thank goodness we're in a time where the aging process is being CELEBRATED!!!

The more years I cross off on my own calendar, the more I realize how much a gift aging is...not everyone is given the chance.

So instead of complaining about it, instead of promoting 'anti-aging' products (which is a phrase that doesn't make sense anyway), let's CELEBRATE all stages of the life journey and provide products and 101 to support skin health and comfort!

Read up on a holistic skincare regimen that takes care of mature skin from the inside out:

The Wellness Summit

I was over the moon honored to be included in The Wellness Summit in Knoxville, TN this past weekend.

This was the official launch of Women in Wellness: The Empowering Journeys of 35 Female Leaders in Wellness (pic of me with my copy below, you can find me on page 125 😃), and the event also included networking with the other women in the book, hearing fabulous speakers in the wellness industry, and some fun book-signing sessions with conference attendees.

I feel INSANELY lucky to be living in a time where we can form communities online to support one another...even our FB community for DIY Skin Care is connecting people all over the world, one new member at a time.

HOWEVER.

There are few things that compare to meeting like-minded individuals IN PERSON, talking face-to-face, feeling that BUZZ of being around people who REALLY GET what you are doing, WHY you are passionate, and brainstorming how we can LIFT each other up even higher.

Pure. Magic.

BUT.

The individuals were there either because they were SPEAKING, because they were FEATURED in the book, or because they were an ATTENDEE/audience member...everyone there ALREADY KNEW about wellness.

You don't sign up for a conference unless you know the topic in general already, right?

This is where our power comes in.

As skin care makers, we have such a huge, uncapped, AMAZING opportunity to introduce our customers and followers to not ONLY the power of natural ingredients in skin care products, but to a MUCH bigger picture about skin health overall.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

This community of ours is about SO MUCH MORE than building a handmade skincare business.

It's about introducing new concepts that have LASTING CHANGE.

This is about going BEYOND the product to becoming a BRAND and source of life-changing education and support.

You can't tell me that you don't feel that potential and excitement in your belly right now!!!

If you are thinking, "But Christine...this is new to me too...I don't really know anything about holistic skincare or wellness or anything you're talking about right now, how can I be giving my customers this info???"

And to YOU I say, "Awesome, because that means you'll relate to your customers THAT much more authentically and be just ONE step ahead of them, which is an amazing and APPROACHABLE place to be!"

There are SO many resources that I have for you on the DIY website that go beyond *just* natural skin care recipes, business branding, and marketing your business.

I challenge you to look through these resources this week to start your OWN journey to being the amazing, influential, change-maker that you were BORN to be:
