Being in the same room with a bunch of different people who absolutely love the same thing you do–that’s a unique experience–and that’s what happened to me when I attended the 2018 Lemongrass Spa conference this past weekend. It was my third conference and so much fun!
I got to hang out with my director, a good friend, meet my essential oil teacher/team member, participate in some excellent training, and so much more!
The new products were truly wonderful and I can’t wait to use all of them…and in fact I didn’t have to! I brought some home that day. My favorites were a pumpkin spice soap (so GOOD), a new tinted lip balm, and a new lipstick color. The fact that we’ve now transitioned all scents to essential oils and plant extracts is pretty amazing. Everything smelled so good and looked so beautiful. I’m ready for the fall to start!
Another highlight of the day was getting to spend a few minutes talking to the founder/co-owner Heidi Leist. She graciously agreed to pictures and spend a few minutes talking to all of us. I love how friendly and down to earth she is. She was there with her book, “Soul-Soothing Stories of Cancer Survivors,” and she was signing them. One of the stories in the book is the story of my mom.
Heidi graciously gave me a copy and signed it for me with the inscription, “Be Brave!” She didn’t know how hard it has been lately because I have a hard time talking about it, but my mom is still having a rough time. She finishing up some chemo treatments in addition to battling some pretty severe memory problems. Being brave can mean so many things, but it is nice to know that I have friends that see how hard this is and reach out with hugs and kindness.
I finished up the evening with some soft serve ice cream! Best ending to an evening–try it!
