Drastic Steps from Skin Care to Grateful Gatherings

Venus DeMarco grew up in a military family so I lived all over the United States, including Japan and Europe. This life experience gave me the ability to look outside the box, when faced with lifechanging decisions. I was in the skin care industry and a lisenced Esthetician for 35 years. I have owned Spa's and skincare clinics in Calif. Seattle Wa, Sunvalley Id, and also Austin Tx which I call home. Have won numerous awards in my field from the Golden Lily to best facial in Austin from 2008 thru 2010. My expertise in the skincare field was looking at the total picture when working with clients, not just the outside but internally as well. Because of that I laways got to the root of the problem not just the symptom.
