ICYMI
Hello Hi! HSR,
I write this email feeling sluggish in my luteal phase before I get to my list of appointments for the day. I can’t tell what’s more expensive, preparing for being gone travelling for 60 days or coming back to town and trying to feel like yourself again.
I can’t lie, I really miss the eastern time zone and getting this email at 8pm as I’m about to wind down before the week. I’m trying to keep a bit of that NYC energy in the LA time zone now that I’m back and keep it MOVING at the NYC rate.
I am back in my high maintenance to be low maintenance routine (more on that in this episode with Dr. Ewoma) and thought I would share my current protocol because I always like to know what’s worth the money. After a massage therapist told me this summer that not massaging my SCM muscle everyday would pull down my face, I booked an immediate TMJ buccal fat massage at FaceCo in Beverly Hills in addition to a lymphatic drainage, Russian manicure and pedicure, hair cut, eyebrows, facial, and spray tan.
But I actually had a lot of urgent appointments to make sure the inside is working just as well as the exterior. I booked my next mammogram, pap smear, and will move forward with my egg freezing protocol this week (if I can avoid another crash out).
I was actually supposed to start last week. Courtney and I arrived at the doctor’s office last Thursday (2 days after getting home) for my blood work and first ultrasound and something triggered me and I truly crashed out thinking about putting my body through that just after getting home and barely 4 months out of endometriosis surgery. It took reading so many women’s stories online to know that I can do this. And because my doctor had initially started me in the luteal phase, I have until Wednesday to decide to move forward with it this cycle.
So stay tuned.
In the meantime, please enjoy the number one lesson from my first year of marriage and how and why I’m celebrating the new year now in the next MSR vlog all about my one year wedding anniversary. We are back and on schedule for more frequent releases so expect to see a lot more out of that channel and don’t forget to subscribe, like and comment if you enjoy it. As I mentioned many times, if you don’t, you never know when something you love might go away.

I Know Why People Don’t Like Me
Who is ready to build a BIG life?! Because after this episode, I am. I needed this episode in London! And Isobel didn’t disappoint.
Isobel Lorna made over $1 MILLION straight from her phone, and last week her new brand Agende did $300,000 in ONE HOUR before completely selling out.
What I loved about Isobel in this episode is how unapologetic she is about ambition. She wants to make money, she loves spending money, and she is not afraid to show the life she has worked for. From Porsches to Birkins, she has a completely different way of thinking about luxury, money and what is actually worth investing in.
So if you want to build a personal brand, make more money and stop apologizing for wanting MORE out of your life, this episode is for you.
