Behind The Scenes Of Desert Beauty

A welcome from Patch's latest blogger, and the scoop behind a "Live Wealthy and Smart" event at the Viceroy hotel in Palm Springs.

For my foray into Blogging, I wanted to introduce myself to Palm Desert Patch readers.

I’m a desert native who’s seen the Coachella Valley shift from just the “Playground to the Stars” and the second home for “snowbirds” (yes, we DO still have that), but also as a thriving population with families and a younger demographic of homeowners.

As for my expertise, I’ve been in the beauty industry over 15 years, starting at a Palm Desert cosmetics counter, to a stint as a Makeup Artist/Esthetician in San Diego and Scottsdale, AZ, for several years. Now I'm back in the valley, and have my own Esthetic room at the Vein Doctor Medical Group in Palm Desert.

One of my other joys is putting on and attending various events around the valley, also.

I’ll be highlighting both facets of my personality.

My beauty persona loves to delve into magazines, and find (and try!) the latest trends, current treatments, and new developments in the Beauty/Spa industry as a whole.

I’ll also be blogging about unique events, networking opportunities, and concerts I attend.

A recent “event” I participated in was a three-day seminar, titled “Live Wealthy and Smart” with Linda P. Jones.

Linda is a Desert resident with more than 25 years in the financial industry. She came up with the concept of “eight steps to wealth” that made her a millionaire before the age of 40.

She now mentors others in these steps, and founded the Global Institute of Wealth for Women

What an amazing time at the Viceroy hotel in Palm Springs. I shared this experience with three of my closest friends, and by the end of the weekend, we couldn’t contain our enthusiasm for what we learned and the applicable steps we were excited to use.

Linda P. Jones, is  defianetly “one to watch,” a star on the rise in our backyard, as well as the world. Keep your eyes posted to what comes next from this Powerhouse.
