SOS! Looking for a washing machine magician 🎩 🪄
Unfortunately, my washing machine went out last week, and as you can imagine, it's a very tough loss for my business 🪦
BUT! Then I bought one from someone who fixes up and resells machines! ⚒️ ✨ BUT! The machine unfortunately does not agitate and the man has not helped with any resolution 😩
Soooooo, I am looking for someone who could possibly come diagnose and doctor up my washing machine for me 🙏🏼 if you know someone who could help, please send them my way!

If you didn't know before, you know now! I'm officially the Best of the Best 🎉
Thank you so much to everyone that voted and each one of you who shows up and supports my business every day!
Never in my wildest dreams did I expect my business to thrive the way it is and for that I am so so blessed. I certainly never expected so many people to love what I do as much as I do🫶🏼
So often it feels like what we do goes unnoticed or unseen(in regards to everyone's lives, not just my own), it feels good for all the hard work I've done in this business to finally be showing through 🥰
Congratulations to all the winners and nominees! There are so many great businesses and great business owners in the area that deserve so much more than just a silly title, let's be sure to support them and acknowledge all of what they provide in our community!

Remember that class I took in the middle of my Crestridge visit and Retreat planning? Things are (maybe 🤪) starting to slow down and I'm ready to dive into what I learned!

I have opened up a few appointments for chest, neck, and face massages to practice my new knowledge 🤓 these appointments are limited and DISCOUNTED 🎉 so grab yours while you can!
These sessions will include intraoral massage (inside the mouth) for just a few minutes and will be recorded for educational purposes 🫶🏼 let me know if you have some free time this week or next to help me integrate this into my practice 🙏🏼

🥰 30 massages completed last week and while it was so so busy, it was definitely the best 🫶🏼

Resident Phyllis' son-in-law, Dan, lost his life in a tragic accident two years ago, and his wife looks for opportunities to keep his name alive and share joy. She thought the power of touch would be beneficial for folks at CrestRidge, so she provided free massages by Alyssa Barkhaus. 💙

Heartfelt thanks to the Dan Liddicoat Memorial Fund for this generous gift. Your kindness truly touched hearts. And thank you to Alyssa for providing not only relaxation, but also comfort and stress relief.

We're so grateful to these special community friends. 💞
