Today, she's expanded the product line and we now carry over 40 products that not only help you to have longer, more luscious and youthful looking lashes - but also plumper looking lips, bolder brows, & fuller looking hair!

Today, I’m proud to say that we have grown into a complete beauty brand, with a corporate headquarters and separate shipping facility, guaranteeing our customers only the finest products available. I have dedicated myself to providing women with products that empower them, helping them to enhance their own natural beauty! “do something that is in your lane that makes sense to you and where it’s authentic and you are really passionate about it. Because if you are selling something or making something is completely out of the realm of what you represent as a person it’s not going to really make sense to the world. And I think that’s why I have also been successful because I make products that I am really passionate about, that I want for myself as well. And I put 110% in, all in”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-72f

For 25 years, Susi Hately has been combining her B.Sc Kinesiology and yoga to help burnt out executives and entrepreneurs get back to their game, regain clarity of mind, get better rest, and to finally feel like themselves again. You’ll enjoy her down to earth, candid approach to getting well again “the process is one that can move quickly, that it can move slowly, that it can be chaotic, that it can be really calm. And to not get attached to any one of those states. Things can be going really well and it doesn’t mean it will go really well for ever. I remember a concept that I learned from Dan Sullivan who is an executive coach from Toronto, he called something when you get into overwhelm as a ‘ceiling of complexity’. And so, things can be going along really, really well and then you just get overloaded, lots of clients and maybe there is things that go wrong and things just start going a little bit chaotic. And a lot of people when they are starting out may say well this is just not worth it or businesses hard or they make it mean also saw things. And really what needs to happen at that point is to simplify and just to re-clarify and then move through the ceiling of complexity as opposed to avoiding it, gets you down or having to fight it. So, to not get attached to anyone state that you are in and to recognise that it is all part of the journey, it’s all part of the process. And when you are clear on where you are going it makes the sometimes rocky road or sometimes rollercoasters experience a lot smoother and perhaps a bit more fun”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-71U
