A short trailer highlighting what to expect from Lotions, Potions and Emotions first guest interview. A truly personal start to exploring an amazing way to rewaken and reconnect to the healing powers of our beautiful feminine energy and flow within us all.

In this gentle beginning, I'm starting at the heart of it all: what it really means to glow from the inside out. Beyond serums and higlighters, to do lists and perfection, there is a deeper kind of glow, rooted in self connection, self trust and presence. We'll explore soul care and I'll also guide you through a Radiance Reset practice, a simple inner beauty ritual to start you reconnecting with your own inner glow, no matter what is swirling around you. This is where our journey begins through beauty, intention, grace and the quiet magic of being.

And stay tuned ... in the next epsidoe I'll be joined by a dear friend to dive into the cold, wild joy of sea swimming and what it teaches us about surrender , stength and soul.

"Softness is strength. Stillness is power. Presence is beauty"
