My Sublime Skin Contouring Experience

July 3, 2017 By Kari 25 Comments

sublime skin contouring-1

I love my life. I’ll turn 36 later this month, and I can honestly say I’d never want to go back to my 20s or even my early 30s. I love getting older, but I’m not so much a fan of looking older. Now more than ever before, I’m focused on my personal health, the health of my family, and being the best I can be (eating well, exercising, getting to bed earlier, and the list goes on).

I truly believe the health of your skin comes from the inside out. If I’m eating poorly, not drinking enough water, not getting enough rest, or drinking too much wine, I wear it on my face. So, my #1 tip for getting that glow is happiness, health and nutrition. However, the benefits of modern technology and advances in skincare can’t be ignored.

I recently tried Sublime Skin Contouring at Lipstick Empire LaserSpa. I have high standards when it comes to who’s working on my face (we all should)! The kindness and positive energy of the staff is so wonderful. I immediately felt at ease and right at home.

Sublime is typically three treatments over a three-month time frame. They use a laser light to stimulate the creation of new collagen. Basically, it feels like a mini facelift without actually getting one. Bonus: there’s no downtime! After one treatment, my face looked brighter and tighter, my fine lines weren’t as noticeable, and I felt like my cheekbones were more plump.

To find out more and book your appointment, reach out to the crew at Lipstick Empire Laser Spa here.

    Kari, you are a true beauty; it comes from within, radiating from your intuitive soul to your physical reflection. With your big genuine smile, your sparkling eyes, your kind intelligence and interest in the world around you and how to impact that as positively as possible, loveliness is simply YOU! You have always had these attributes but with Ryan, Moses and of course Wyatt Rudy as your life there is no limit on your gorgeousness! 💕

    I’ve been doing a bit of reading on ipl and photorejuvenation. Would be amazing to win a package. Also going to have to check out the lash lift for my sad straight eyelashes.

    I would love to win this. Between lack of sleep because of my 7 month old, chasing a 3 year old and just not making time to take care of myself my skin is looking pretty haggard lately. Lol
    Such a great giveaway!

    I couldn’t agree more about how your skin’s beauty comes from within. I’m really noticing lately as a new mom, that my lack of sleep, hydration and exercise has taken a mean toll on my skins appearance. Working on getting some self care mixed into my daily routine! It’s tricky, but so key! Would love to try the lipstick empire beauty treatments for a little boost! Have a super day, Kari and thanks for sharing xx

Wait for it and read this ⤵️ …but first - S Wait for it and read this ⤵️

…but first - SAVE this so you can come back to it later. Below you’ll find the important reason I’m sharing this. 🫶

✨️Post your hot tips for saving cash in the comments ⤵️ so we can all help each other. Here’s a few of mine:

1️⃣ Make sure your bank cards are giving you something back. Do some digging and find out what your debit and credit cards get you. Example: I have a Scene debit card which earns me free movies (and snacks at the theatre) for us and the kids. 

2️⃣ Check your favourite brand’s tagged posts on Instagram. When you’re looking to make a new purchase always check here first! It’s where you’ll find partnership posts from Creators you may not follow who have a discount code you can use with that brand (Of course, if you do use the code - thank the Creator with a ‘follow’ and/or share.)

3️⃣ FREE CHILDCARE at City Rec Facilities. Now, this may depend on where you live but it doesn’t hurt to check. Where we’re at in Edmonton, Canada, four City of Edmonton rec facilities offer free childcare with your rec pass for up to two hours (you must stay in the building). I used to do this with our oldest and pop over to a quiet area and work. You could also do this to get a workout in or meet a friend for coffee without having to spend on childcare. 

4️⃣ Library books - as much as we love treating ourselves to a new book,these are FREE and it's a fun experience with your kid

5️⃣ Shop online where you can. This will help you stick to your list and budget and not get thrown off by all the shiny things. 

➡️ I’m sharing this to shine the spotlight on @civicserviceunion52 - a union representing over 6,000 city workers - 83% of whom haven’t seen a pay raise since 2018! That’s bonkers. Factor in inflation - that’s a pay cut. It’s just not fair, AND there’s something you can do about it. 

These are our community members - Our 9-1-1 dispatchers, library staff, fitness teachers, 311 reps and so many more who keep our city running. 

Email your City Councillor to show your support. Find a template to do so in my Stories right now or just go to edmontonforeveryone.ca!

You know what drains a kid's emotional cup - being overscheduled. We've lived it and I'm here to say it's SO MUCH BETTER on the other side.

📍Last year, our goal was to give our oldest (now 8) every opportunity to try things to figure out what he loved. His schedule was packed with activities (I realize this is a privileged point). We were running - sometimes literally - from school to activity every night of the week and on weekends.

📍Fast-forward to this year - he has so much more time to just be a kid and we're all happier! He's picked a couple of things he's passionate about, but we've cut so much out and now most of our after-school time is open. Maybe we'll run an errand, maybe we'll come home and hang out, maybe we'll play at the park with friends and get ice cream. 

✨️ If one day he decides he wants to pour more time into one of his passions - we support that, but for now this is it and it's awesome! 

➡️ Have you lived this? How do you balance wanting to expose your kid to different activities so they find what they love with wanting your kids to just be a kid? Share below.
