I know what you’re really daydreaming about...
A moment where the world hits pause long enough for you to breathe.
No buzzing phone. No back-to-back requests.
Just one appointment where everything gets handled...skin, lashes, brows, energy… even those tired eyes.
Look girl, as a fellow high-achieving boss babe, I know what it’s like to crave a pause. That moment where everyone waits until you come back online. But here’s the truth no one likes to admit: when you’re the one who keeps everything moving....your team, your kids, your schedule, your goals, nobody tells you to stop.
It feels like there’s always another request, another email, another iced coffee that has to be enough to get you through. And in the middle of all that hustle? Your nervous system is buzzing like a phone on silent.
Your jaw is tight.
Your mind races when it should rest.
Your skin is giving you the look in the mirror that says: “Babe, I’m tired too.”
That’s why our fall specials are always some of the most popular. Not because everyone’s obsessed with pumpkin (though, let’s be real, she is iconic)...but because fall is the shift out of busy season.
The one where we ground ourselves back into structure and routine, where the over-commitment fog of summer finally lifts and we can see our goals a little clearer.
But that doesn’t mean the to-do list is any lighter. Fall just gives us a fresh perspective and a new energy to tackle what summer fun left feeling stagnant. These specials are built around the energy of resetting your mind and giving you the space to catch up to your glow and your goals.
Here’s the truth: every high achiever I know (myself included) tries to skip this step.
We tell ourselves we’ll rest when the work is done, or we’ll book the self-care when the work is finally done. But that day doesn’t come. The only way to actually get ahead is to pause long enough to reset.
That’s the secret sauce no one teaches us.
And that’s exactly what this season’s specials were designed to do: quiet the overstimulation, restore your energy, and send you back into the world feeling like the version of you who can actually enjoy her success.
Here's the menu:
Pretty Pumpkin (45 min) — $45 Quick relief for the woman who’s short on time but running on empty. Think of this as a fast reset button: pumpkin enzymes smooth and brighten while you breathe for the first time all day. In under an hour, you’re back to glowing — and nobody has to know you’ve been running on iced coffee and willpower.
Harvest Glow (60 min) — $55 This one’s for the boss babe who thrives on structure but feels the tension creeping in by midweek. Warm stones melt the stress out of your shoulders while pumpkin enzymes give your skin a bright, nourished glow. A cozy reset that calms your nervous system so you can step back into your schedule recharged instead of drained.
Lookin’ Good Pumpkin (90 min) — $120 The ultimate pause for the high achiever who does it all. Microdermabrasion + pumpkin enzymes = deep exfoliation and a lit-from-within glow — but the real magic is 90 minutes of nobody needing a thing from you. It’s luxury relaxation that clears the mental clutter and lets you walk out with skin (and energy) that finally matches your boss babe power.
Fall Girl Glow-Up Bundle (90 min) — $130 Your full-face reset in one appointment. Perfect for the woman who wants it all done in one swoop so she can get back to slaying her schedule: • 30-min Pumpkin Glow + Depuff Undereye • Lash Lift & Tint • Brow + Lip Wax Fresh eyes, glowing skin, snatched brows = your whole fall vibe unlocked.
A Final Thought, From One Boss Babe to Another
After almost two decades of running life as a boss babe, I can tell you with certainty: you don’t need another productivity hack. What you actually need is the headspace to think through the things you already know work for your success.
You’re not failing. You’re not missing some magical delegation system. You’ve just forgotten the most important piece of the puzzle...taking care of you. When your mind and energy are clogged from always thinking about the next thing, it’s hard to even enjoy the success you’ve built.
So let this be the intervention you didn’t know you needed: book yourself some time to rest.
The truth is, you’ll catch up either way, you always do. But it will feel so much better if you let us hold the stress for a while and send you back into the world glowing.
