Have you noticed that since I started working with Dr. Jack, I just keep jumping out of my comfort zone? It’s gotten so that I am more comfortable being uncomfortable than anything else. Ha ha!!
So yesterday, I tried something totally new, never, ever done before. I went to see Kelly Kuechler, who works out of Dr. Jack’s office. Kelly is always helping me with my loose skin through wraps she uses that have helped me tremendously! Every month, I notice improvement. Last month she had a sale going for facial skin treatments and so I thought I might try it.
Now people who know me well, are checking to make sure this blog post is actually written by me. When it comes to skin care I was pretty low maintenance. Before Kelly, my idea of taking care was to just wash my face in the shower and at night with whatever soap was handy. Moisturizer?? Ummmmmmm……. Yeah about that….. Hand lotion? Ummm ……I own some! I just wasn’t very good at taking care of me.
In the time I have known Kelly, she has really helped me change a lot of that, and it has made a huge difference. She patiently listened to what I do and I am sure it was hard for her not to flinch, but she is very professional, so she just listened and then offered ideas. My problematic skin, it turns out, was problematic because I wasn’t doing a very good job. I was the problem. Kelly has absolutely beautiful skin, and like Dr. Jack, a huge proponent of natural products. All of the line she carries uses completely natural ingredients.
Kelly introduced me to better ways and better products. She helped me establish better skin care that takes next to no extra time, and has been easy to incorporate. For the first summer in forever, I actually get away with just a little mascara. No cover up needed, no gobs of foundation to cover problem areas every day. No going over problem spots with more. For going out, I still dab on a little but I get away with sooooooo much less. My skin coloring has evened out and my skin just looks healthy, not covered up, not clogged up. Healthy looks so much better.
Since my wraps have gone so well, she suggested I might try some new things while her sale was going on. Yesterday, I tried something totally out of the box! Microdermabrasion… A totally foreign word to me. I admit, I had no idea what it even was until she explained it to me.
I went to her office and I was nervous because I am not used to a lot of people touching me. I have never had a pedicure done by anyone other than me, and only had my nails done once, for my daughter’s wedding. But as always, Kelly has this beautiful way about her of making you feel totally comfortable, totally relaxed. The whole experience was complete relaxation. Her room is decorated in a nice way and she had soft music playing. She makes you feel at home the second you arrive.
She explained everything she did and she just kept talking to me during it that I couldn’t believe how fast the time went. When we were done, I couldn’t believe what my skin felt like or what it looked like. It felt so smooth that I kept touching it, because it felt like someone else’s face!! I got up this morning, showered and looked at it again and can’t believe the difference, it’s amazing!! It looks healthier, and feels so smooth and soft.
Kelly really is the sweetest person. I love working with her. She makes you feel like you have known her forever. She us extremely gentle, and always very professional. She explained things really well, never makes you feel uncomfortable, and made suggestions to me that will help me to keep my skin healthy. While I was there she worked on my hands and arms, too. She probably didn’t realize that a woman can have hands that were that dry, or skin that looked as abused as mine. Working with boxes at my part time job takes its toll on your hands. Add in dishes, housework, yard work, and someone who never wears gloves. But again, she said nothing, just kept working at it and I don’t think they have ever looked better.
I really enjoyed my experience and if you have never tried it, you should do a little something for YOU! It really does make a big difference outside but inside, too! I walked out totally relaxed and looking healthy and happy! We do a ton for other people, it’s nice sometimes to take an hour and do something for yourself. In a few weeks, I am trying something else. I will get back to you on that!

Thank you Kelly, for making it such a fun experience and for taking such great care of me! You really are making a huge difference in my life!
