Thanks so much! So many amazing small creators and businesses out there that truly change lives! Curious if the piece brought up any local establishments in your area that have shaped you?

Cannot WAIT for tomorrow! Feeling quite squishy in my ambitions and had it on my work sticky note to dive into some creative mind mapping to draw out some plans for summer! <3

I have struggled with acne most of my life until I found a specialist who introduced me to Face Reality products. I also cut out dairy, started taking zinc, and made other lifestyle changes. I'm now going through it again with my teen son, and we both love the Acne Agent facials at Face Foundries (around the Bay Area). I'm so glad you found Elise - she sounds very special!

Oh my gosh, it sounds like you found amazing resources as well! I’ve also started a journey of cutting out cow dairy as well as being more aware of my sugar intake. I’d love to learn more about all the things that have helped you (and your son!). My acne journey has absolutely taught me so many things, and thanks for the brand rec too! I’ll definitely going to check them out. :)
