Anniversaries are a time to reflect and celebrate. When I reflect, twenty years have happened so fast. Although when I take a step back, so much has happened both personally and professionally. Starting a business is no small task. And I started with no business knowledge, no clients, and no money. Besides […]
Nov 12, 2020 / Post by by Rene Serbon A few weeks ago I had the privilege to interview one of my longest-standing clients, the owner of Temple of Beauty Facial Boutique, Susan Gretzinger. Susan is a veteran in the industry. I want to share with you a little bit about her journey in running her […]

Wow yes, I am! How I see it, turning 60 has nothing to do with my age and everything to do with my attitude. To what is ahead of me. It is definitely a reflective time. Looking back to where I was and where I’ve come. Pondering back even 30 years ago, I […]

The natural phase after conception and gestation is labor. The mystery of this phase never ceases to amaze me. The mystery is unknown yet somehow deep within, it is known. In creating this next phase for Temple of Beauty, this labor phase fits appropriately. Labor is exciting, scary and painful. This is it! The time […]
