Author bio:
Dancing in the rain, picnics in green meadows, barefoot walks on the beach - This is Touching Life! There is no doubt that my kids have reawakened in me a zest to Touch Life. A couple of years ago I found myself lying leisurely under the cool shade of an umbrella on a beach. We'd enjoyed a great holiday, and as I sipped on a cold drink I watched the children building sandcastles and yelping with glee as the waves came and flooded their walls. Thinking back on my holiday I began to realise that although it was filled with great tastes, great sights, great sounds and even great smells, there was no Touch. I had lost my touch for life, and with it had gone the energy, the zeal for life that exudes from our children. It was then that I realised, like so many "mature" adults have, that I have persecuted touch! My reawakening of life has come from reigniting touch...what an awesome journey it is.
BASIC SKINCARE MANUAL by Carolyn E. Johnson BASIC SKINCARE MANUAL by Carolyn E. Johnson Feb. 17, 2009 Free! 1844 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Through a series of events, I found myself in beauty school in 2001, at the age of 53. I hadn’t been in a setting that required homework or memorization for a number of years. The other students were either close to my own situation or were young women who had chosen beauty school instead of college primarily because they struggled in high school. I developed little rhymes to help me learn the material at that time and thought about developing games and aids to ease the learning for others at a later time...when I was established in the field. Now, several years later, this series of booklets are the result of my initial idea. My dearest wish is that these study guides will help many more women achieve their dream and earn their cosmetologist license in esthetics.
