that in hair removal, and actually in skincare in general, the combination of those two products for any sort of um just kind of response the skin is having, uh, that duo is top of the line. 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:36.160 And Kiko has put together a little partnership with Halen Hush to make sure that you have access to that. 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.199 So keep your eye open for that duo. 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:49.040 And no matter what you do in your treatment room, you should always have those two products on hand because they um they really just they change the skin. 00:05:49.120 --> 00:06:06.959 If your the skin is warm or um to the touch or a little angry or starting a histamine reaction, any sort of response that the skid has had in any sort of a kind of an angry way, uh, that duo of the relief powder and the um the hydrate mask just takes it away. 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.120 And it really is your your duo, your partner in crime in the treatment room. 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:20.160 So I've been shouting it from the rooftops for years, and I'm glad that uh Kika was able to formulate um or to actually put together a partnership with that formulation. 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.639 So cheers to you, Jarrett and Chris, for uh coming together to make that happen. 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:29.279 Um, and then we have an announcement that I'm gonna wait until the end of this podcast to share with you. 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.240 Some of you already know, and we'll talk about how that came to fruition. 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:38.879 Um, but I want to go back really quick because y'all had homework that were at SugarCon. 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:47.120 And for those of you that weren't at SugarCon, I'm gonna recap um my speech that I was um honored to be able to give. 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:53.199 Um, it was called The Secret to Sweet Success: The Future of Sugaring and Your Role in It. 00:06:53.519 --> 00:07:02.399 And I wanted to like kind of keep get you up to speed if you weren't there and also call you out on your homework if you were there and remind you about what it was about. 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:20.639 So, you know, I've been in this industry a really long time and thinking about what's next is always something that I've been really um passionate about because, you know, we're all sugaring now, which is great, and was one of my biggest um uh dreams for our industry was for these companies to get together and push the passion of sugar. 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.600 Um, we're not in competition, as you know, with each other. 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.000 We are in collaboration with each other. 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:34.079 But the knowledge that we're spreading to the skincare industry is hey, let's put down that hot wax and those sticks and strips and all that, and let's put a sugar ball on our hand. 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:35.439 And we're really achieving that. 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.399 Um, thank you, social media, for helping us to spread the word. 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:39.920 So what's next, right? 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:46.480 And and that's what um that my speech was really all about at SugarCon was, you know, what's what's next in this industry? 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:51.600 Um, and so 16 years ago was when I started to sugar. 00:07:51.759 --> 00:08:15.439 And so I kind of used that sweet 16 um, you know, kind of a shtick, that lingo, um, and asked you where you want to be in the next 16 years, because I think that as entrepreneurs and savvy boss babes, whether you are in a spa or you're an employee of a of a facility or you have your own business, we are all boss babes of our career. 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:20.160 And really asking yourself, where do you want to be in 16 years? 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:32.000 I have a good chuckle about that because I actually in 16 years will be very old and hopefully uh looking back on my career and my life and what we were able to accomplish here. 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:34.559 But for you, what does 16 years look like? 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:38.240 And, you know, I ask you, you know, will you still be behind the table? 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:39.120 I'll be 70. 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:44.559 I hope I'm drinking a margarita somewhere on the beach, you know, raising a glass to all the sugar babes that are killing it. 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:50.000 Um, but I ask you, um, you know, first of all, number one, how old will you be? 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.480 Because I'll be 70, but how old will you all be in 16 years? 00:08:54.639 --> 00:09:00.320 And what do you want to look back on of what you've accomplished in this career? 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.519 Like it's one thing to grind away and try to get as many clients as possible, right? 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:09.120 But then it's another thing to really look at your career as a whole and ask yourself, how much longer do I want to be doing this? 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.200 And where do I want to be? 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.279 That's 2041. 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.039 And 16 years ago, if you were like, where will you be in 2025? 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.480 That felt like the Jetson's space age conversation, right? 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:26.320 And so I ask you, like, really to take a look at what the next years are going to be for you. 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.679 Will you be mentoring and educating, like I love to do? 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:31.840 Will you be launching your own product line? 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:36.480 Do you really, really love the table and you really want to be behind the table still? 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:37.919 What does that look like? 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:43.360 Does it look like you have cornered the market in your town with all of the sugaring business? 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:45.919 Does it mean that you've opened a second location? 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:53.120 Um, does it mean that you solely focus on sugar or are you heavy into facials and

equipment and you do some sugaring? 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:54.480 Like, what does that look like? 00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:01.519 You know, are you retired like me and sipping on something sparkly in uh in like saloom or something, you know? 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.039 Proud of what you've built. 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.360 I at the end of this, I want you to be proud of what you built. 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:12.320 I want you to look back and say, wow, that really did support my lifestyle. 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:22.879 And because I was able to add sugaring, it was it was the way that I fed my family, it was the way that I got out of debt, whatever it is, insert that thing here, right? 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:34.000 And and really ask yourself, like, not only financially, but in the treatment room as well, like how much change has I've have I been able to make in my client's skin? 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:38.000 Have I started an oncology aesthetics program as a result? 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:46.320 And now I sugar uh with these products, you know, like really ask yourself, where where am I going with all of this? 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.320 Otherwise, it's just a grind. 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:53.840 And and my wish for you, my hope for you is that you don't just grind away in these treatment rooms. 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.919 That feels like more like a little jail cell. 00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.159 I want you to ask yourself, like, why did I come to this career in the first place? 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:04.559 It was probably because you love people and you love skin or the science of skin. 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:08.799 It's probably a little bit that you wanted to make some money for your family and have your dreams come true. 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:11.200 But it's that passion that we have, right? 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:17.759 And, you know, I want to remind you that your next 16 years don't happen by chance. 00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:23.679 They're gonna be shaped by the decisions that you make, starting right now or starting five years ago. 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.519 What does your story sound like? 00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:37.759 You know, for those of you that have heard me over these years and look back on some of the episodes about how sugaring saved my life, I had no idea that sugaring would save my life. 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.360 And that would be a thing for me. 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.440 I started out as an esthetician who was very content doing what I was doing. 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.480 And then life happened, and I'm so thankful that sugaring is now. 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:53.200 I mean, if you would have told me back in the day that I was going to start sugaring, I'd be like, I don't even know what that is, right? 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.639 So, what do the next 16 years hold for you? 00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:59.840 I mean, even in the last two years, the world has changed. 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:05.039 We have AI

now, and we have a whole um program on helping you with AI. 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:08.480 So reach out to us if you would like some information on that. 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:16.799 Um, but the idea is how can we build our social media, build our AI, but how can we be smart about how we're aligning ourselves? 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:27.360 Because I think what happens, especially with sugar, with with skincare aestheticians, um, cosmetologists, beauty people, we have all of these lofty dreams, right? 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:39.279 Like we want to do all of these things, but if we don't just focus on our lane and really hone in on our skills, we're gonna be doing a little bit of all things and not really amazing at one. 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.320 So I challenge you to sit down. 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:51.440 If you haven't already, because those of you that were at SugarCon should have, and that and came to my um my speech, it was a packed room, which was really cool. 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:56.000 But then for those of you that were there, I'm bringing this back up again for you to revisit it. 00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:06.799 And if you would like me to chat with you about your next 16 years, you know, send me a DM, send me an email, and I'm happy to chat with you about what your dreams are in 16 years, what your dreams are in five years. 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:12.799 I'm happy to have that conversation with you because I think it's really, really critical to realize that life is short. 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:14.480 It's already the holidays. 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.799 And, you know, what have you done with your career? 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.799 What have you done with 2025? 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.320 What will you do with 26 and 27 and 28 and 29? 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:29.519 Um, you know, when I first started this 16 years ago, my children were four and seven, eight. 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.120 And I had different dreams then than I have now. 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:48.000 And now my dream is to continue to trailblaze in this industry, to continue to support you and love on you, take our education team to the next level so that we can continue this mission, this manifesto, if you will. 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:58.159 And my job is to make sure that all of, well, is my passion is to make sure that all of you really take this to the next level in the next 16 years for you. 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:11.759 And that I hope that my legacy is that I have really affected your lives like mine was affected back in the day by sugar, but that we gave you the resources and that we're able to leave a legacy. 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:16.799 And that is really, really exciting stuff for me, for my team, hopefully for you. 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:26.159 Um, so take a moment after this podcast, or even as you're jotting notes down, take a moment to really stop and say, okay, I'm gonna do some homework. 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.960 Where do I see myself in 16 years? 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:30.799 How old will my children be? 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.799 I mean, in 16 years, my youngest will be 36 years old. 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.600 That means probably some grandbabies are along the way. 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:39.840 Maybe a move out of California. 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:44.000 I don't know, but how am I gonna parallel my career to that? 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:51.679 And so I hope to be retired in the next five years, say, and pass all of this legacy and wisdom on to all of you. 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:56.000 So be ready, because the next five years I'm gonna be packing it all in, my loves. 00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.200 Um and so this is this is really what has been a core for me. 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.000 And and I really want to ask you as well what you see. 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:08.720 If you have a beautiful location like I do, are you gonna expand and have two or three? 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.600 Or do you just want to pack the one that you have? 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:25.440 Now I will tell you a little um tidbit is that in uh in 2026, I am actually in the process of handing my shop over to one of my colleagues who is going to take this. 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:33.679 I'm I'm basically like the pitcher that that started out the baseball game and I'm handing the ball over to the next pitcher to be the relief pitcher. 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.360 And she is gonna take this physical space that I'm in to the next level. 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:48.000 I'm still gonna be here, but she's gonna take it to the next level so that I can travel and teach all of you and really make a difference in the grand scheme of things and put my hands on all of you. 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:53.759 So stay tuned for classes that we are gonna be doing, uh, actually that we're already doing, but that you'll see me at. 00:15:53.840 --> 00:16:04.159 I'll be in Denver and uh Burlingame, California a lot because of our new partnership, which is the reveal that I'm gonna talk to you about right now without further ado. 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:13.440 So it is my honor to tell you that we are making some changes here at Love to Sugar because it's all about growth, right? 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:15.840 And about identifying what's important. 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:24.960 I wanted to make sure that my message and my company and my educators were proud of what they stand behind. 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:39.120 And I am I'm really honored to say that we are making some adjustments and we have created a full service five-pillar uh program with Love to Sugar now. 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:48.720 You know, we had Love to Sugar University and we have, of course, the podcast, and uh we have an education team now, and we wanted to kind of tie that all together. 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.799 The piece we were missing was the Love to Sugar Collection. 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.440 And so you will be seeing a new product line. 00:16:57.519

--> 00:16:59.440 Let's see, the powder here. 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.079 Um, we have our new product line, which is the Love to Sugar Collection. 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:09.920 And it is a line of paste that we'll be able to, our educators will be able to train with. 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:11.599 You can purchase if you like. 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:17.759 I love lots of sugar companies in this industry, professional sugar companies. 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:23.119 Um, I love Kiko, I love Tapira, I love sugar smack, I love Tamaras, like I love all of them. 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:35.759 Um, but I really wanted to have something that my educators could um, I could play with this lid all day long, um, this powder lid, but I really wanted to have something that um was representative of my team and of us. 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:42.160 And it is going to ebb and flow and grow um into just products that we love to have in our hands. 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:48.079 Um and it is not in any competition in any way with those companies that I mentioned that I do love. 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:56.799 It is really just a way for us to round out our branding because, as you know, as strong, smart business owners, um, we need to make sure that our brand is tight. 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:58.880 And so I've been doing some research on that. 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:05.839 So we decided it was really important to have our own brand that locks in with um the education that we have. 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:14.400 So we are an education company, as you know, and moving forward, we are going to be enhancing that education piece. 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:19.839 So no matter what sugar company that you love, I hope you're you know playing with lots of them. 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:27.759 Um, you might love one paste for your humid summer months, and you might like a different paste in your drier months and your cooler months. 00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:36.559 You might really, really love a soothing serum from one company, but the cleanser and the hydration maybe from a different one really make your heart happy. 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:42.400 So this is where you have full autonomy and control over who it is that you go with. 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:48.319 And because we have uh resources like sugarcon now, you have the ability to play and test um all of them. 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:58.480 And so our education is um has always been, you know, I didn't start out, in fact, for a lot of years, I said I don't want to make sugar, I want to support the education piece. 00:18:58.720 --> 00:18:59.920 And it's still true. 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.920 I never wanted to make sugar, and so I am not making the sugar. 00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:11.759 We have an amazing formulator here in the US that is creating our uh sugar paste. 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:19.440 And we also have an amazing um group of companies that I've um put together uh for the pre and post. 00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:28.240 So we have a cleanser, we have the powder that you saw, of course, we have the pastes, we have a soothing serum and a hydration um uh body lotion. 00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:35.839 And then we also have um hydroclear, which is our ingrown serum and ingrown uh pads uh for home care at the moment. 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:45.119 That's always that's gonna grow, mostly just for the needs of the people that are using my products and love what we do, which is great, but again, not competition. 00:19:45.599 --> 00:20:02.079 Because if you see a hands-on class in your area that any one of my educators is teaching or I'm teaching, um we want you to join us because very much like SugarCon, we want to be teaching people the right way to sugar, maybe some alternative little tips and tricks. 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:08.079 And we want to help our sisters and brothers out in this community to be the best sugar pro they can be. 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:13.680 And so that is our mission is to spread the passion of sugar always first. 00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:26.240 Number one, the passion of professional sugar, the passion of purchasing products that are from professional lines and to not compete, but to collaborate. 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.000 And, you know, this has really been years in the making. 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:40.319 Um, we want to support your growth every step of the way, from the cleanser to the hydration to the home care to the method with which we teach. 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:42.400 Um, and that's pretty exciting. 00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:49.359 Some of you may or may not know that we have been, we were the first online um, and I'm not tooting my horn. 00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:50.880 I just want to make sure that it's very clear. 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:54.640 We were the first online uh basic certification school. 00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:56.319 And I'm very proud of that. 00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:04.880 I'm very proud that there's been other companies that have come on along the way that have kind of taken our model and used it to help their company grow as well. 00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:10.240 Um, and because again, it's about, you know, making sure that we're all doing the right, the right thing. 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:16.559 Um, but it's also really important for you to understand what we're doing with the education piece, right? 00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:23.039 So you're listening to the podcast, you're hearing about the new collection that we have again, um, with all the products. 00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:25.440 Um, but really education is our core. 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:31.599 And so what you may not know is that I am actually a credential teacher. 00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:35.839 And I got my bachelor's of science in education. 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:49.359 And so my dream in the beginning of my life coming out of college was to teach and to build curriculums that make sense so that the brain understands the knowledge. 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:54.960 And but now, because

we're doing it with a service that your brain and your hand know what to do. 00:21:55.119 --> 00:22:01.200 So, for those of you that are sugaring now, you definitely know that learning to sugar is not easy. 00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:06.079 It is not something you just, you know, pull it out of the jar and you're able to just do a Brazilian right away, right? 00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:07.119 There are steps. 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:10.960 And so I designed um this new method called the Love to Sugar method. 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:24.079 And it is a way for you that are new, or for those of you that are really struggling with the mold and flick, the love to sugar method is the way that I have figured out the right curriculum because I watch you all learn. 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:40.000 Um, and in the classes that I've been teaching with all of you, I've tweaked the way that we teach so that you can really understand from just using one finger all the way to your whole hand how to sugar properly, right? 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:46.079 Because I think what happens sometimes is, you know, you have an educator that's like, oh, it's easy, just throw your hand in the jar, it'll be fine, right? 00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:51.440 And then you get that ball of paste out and it's all over your glove and you don't understand it, and it gets very frustrating. 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:56.319 And that's why a lot of people put this down, is because they just they don't get it. 00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.400 Their brain and their hand are not clicking and they don't get it. 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:02.319 I was one of them in the very beginning. 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:04.000 I was terrible. 00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.599 My brain is smart, my hand, not so much. 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:10.559 My hand was not doing what my brain wanted it to. 00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:15.200 And so I've crafted this method. 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:33.920 So again, if you're struggling with the molded flick, come back and join us, no matter what company that you've been using, no matter what education you had in the beginning, and um spend some time in the love to sugar method because it is rooted in the proper curriculum to get your hand to do what it needs to do. 00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:36.559 So if you're struggling with that, we got you. 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:41.119 Uh, and so for those of you that are brand new and have no idea what I'm talking about, we got you too. 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:48.559 And for those of you that have been sugaring a really long time, there might be a couple of tweaks that you might not even realize that we can help you with. 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:58.000 So that is going to be our next era is making sure that you all have access to the training that you need, not just online. 00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:01.440 Like we've been for, let's see, we've been doing this since 2014. 00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:05.279 So I guess that's 11 years now, 12 years coming up in January. 00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:11.279 And my dream has been to make sure that you all have an easier time than I did with it in the very beginning. 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:23.519 So uh take a look at that, those education pieces there, because um really, you know, the idea is that the more that we can make you a well-rounded sugar pro, the better this whole industry does. 00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:24.960 So there we go. 00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:34.559 Um, you know, and and let's be honest, you know, the next 16 years aren't just about sugar paste, um, which I love that we have a collection. 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:35.279 It's awesome. 00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:36.559 You'll be able to learn with it. 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:38.000 Um, you'll be able to grow. 00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:47.759 Um, but really I want to have you take a look at then the industry to take a look at the big picture is what is it that you're going to do with your time?
