As an Esthetician it is often mistaken that I work only on the surface of the skin. While it is true some do, but I as a Facial Specialist know that beauty really does come from the inside out. Diet plays such an important part to our health and wellness but especially to your skin.
Upon entry to my spa many new clients are surprised that there is an intake form asking health questions and then are more surprised when I ask questions as to lifestyle and diet.
I am sure there are still many who believe that all I do is put lipstick and nail polish on people all day.
That is true in some spas and beauty salons but I have chosen to specialize in skin therapy because it fascinates me! It fascinates me how what you put on your body goes in your body and for that I want to know what is in my product. It fascinates me that with a little coaching on making a few dietary changes and using products not loaded with synthetic chemicals that I can assist clients with achieving clear skin!
Joy McCarthy, has been an inspiration to my approach to clean living and clean eating
and aside from this post about to sound like a girl crush for the beautiful Joy McCarthy I wanted to share why she truly is a Beauty from the Inside Out and why her approach to food, beauty and living should be shared! I hope she will become an inspiration for you to make some changes from the inside out.
A few years ago I had the privledge of meeting Joy when she came to my spa for one of my
Organic Signature Facial treatments.
Her infectious enthusiasm for all things clean including skin care, cosmetics and well of course food have encouraged me to share her wisdom with all of you!
Last year we were fortunate enough to have Joy perform a workshop in our spa. She truly is as lovely in person as she is on TV, appears on the cover of her AMAZING new book ( shown above) and sounds on the many radio shows and seen at the many events she has been touring on the success of her book
Joyous Health.
2014 is the year of Joy McCarthy! It seems that since January when her book launched here in Canada climbing straight to the top of the Best Sellers I might add she is everywhere! On TV, the Global Morning Show, Steven & Chris, in the hottest magazines and making countless appearances. Complete list here
And if that isn't enough she has launched a FAB new Naturals Beauty Essentials line including Body Butta, Lip Balm and my two absolute favs Non Toxic deo that really WORKS and a non toxic toothpaste called
Minty Fresh that I can now not live without!
These can be purchased on line here http://shopjoyous.joyoushealth.ca/product-category/personal-care/ or at select spa boutiques.
The book Joyous Health did not disappoint! The photography in this book is fantastic and most importantly so are the recipes!! Some of my favorites include the Carrot Cake Balls, ALL of the smoothies,
Almond Butter cookies and even the Brussel Sprout recipe converted me to a LOVER not a HATER of this delicious food! I do not want to ruin the surprise while you flip the pages so I will leave those teasers with you.
I am delighted to announce that Joy will once again be making an appearance at our spa on
Saturday May 10th from 1pm-2:30. She will be hosting a workshop and book signing!
(You can purchase your book at the event if you have not been fortunate enough to find one in our small town.) Or you can purchase the book on line through Amazon or Indigo.
Pre-orders are available for all of my American friends reading this! Wow that means we Canadians actually got something great launched first!!
If you are able to visit one of Joy's Workshops or presentations please do so! You will not be disappointed! Her down to earth, easy to follow real food living is achievable and you will feel great without dieting!
Joy offers on-line coaching and many workshops throughout the year that you can participate in on line.
