It was so much fun learning about the history of Jelly Belly, watching them being made, and, of course, we had to bring some home with us!

With a big event coming up it was time to visit Na With a big event coming up it was time to visit Nadine, owner and magician-in-charge at Glass Skin Laser. 
She used a Skinpen to banish my fine lines and wrinkles during a microneedling treatment. I relaxed for the first time in weeks when Nadine gave me a soothing neck and arm massage prior to the session. Just the thing that every writer needs! 
Microneedling works by stimulating collagen production by the controlled application of about a dozen tiny needles. Think of it as acupuncture for your skin. Afterwards I had a red light therapy session to promote faster healing.
"Do you feel like you've had  two million tiny injections?", Nadine said when we were done.  Actually, there was no pain, and I left with just a little redness and instructions to stay out of the sun for at least 24 hours. Stay tuned for the results!
Glass Skin Laser is a beautiful new spotlessly clean salon and Nadine's philosophy is to let your natural beauty shine
