I never thought I’d be writing this, but here we are. After 12+ years in this industry and six years of Bloom, I’ve decided to step away and close Bloom. And what’s even crazier? I feel completely sure, confident, and at peace with it.

Bloom has given me a beautiful life, deep connections, and opportunities I never imagined. But more than anything, it’s given me you—the clients who trusted me with your skin, supported me, and made this more than just a business. Every facial, every conversation, every connection—it has meant everything. You are what made Bloom.

For so long, my identity was wrapped in being a business owner, solo entrepreneur, and working mom. These things built my confidence, self-worth, and ego. They defined me. And for the first time, I don’t want to be defined by anything. I want to relearn my worth outside of work, success, and the doing.

I’ve never not worked before. Ever. And yet, stepping into this next chapter—where I’m not constantly building, creating, pushing—feels just as exhilarating as it does vulnerable. Being a stay-at-home mom is absolutely work—deep, important, full-on work. But it’s a different kind of work, one that asks me to be fully present in a way I’ve never allowed myself to be. I’m embracing that while staying open to wherever I feel guided next. And for the first time, that feels really good.

I’ll be seeing clients until April 30th, so if you want one last facial, now’s the time to book. I’m also doing a farewell sale—my website will stay open until everything sells out. And because I want you to feel empowered in your skin even after Bloom closes, I’m hosting a Zoom class in June to teach you how to give yourself the kind of facial I’d do for you—details coming soon.

I don’t know exactly what’s next, and for the first time, I’m okay with that. I’ll be sharing more of this journey on my podcast Beyond the Skin (Spotify + Apple), so if you’re here for it, come listen.

This isn’t a forever goodbye—it’s just a shift. Bloom may be closing, but my love, gratitude, and connection to all of you will never change. I’m still here. Always.

So much love and a few tears,
Nichole

Hey! Excuse me, can I have your attention for five minutes?

I’m about to call myself out!

I’ve been in skincare for over a decade, most of it spent immersed in the “medical” side of esthetics. Back then, I truly believed—and preached—that “medical-grade” skincare was the end-all, be-all. I’d even respond to plant-based skincare clients with, “I’m sure it smells good, but it’s not doing anything for your skin.” 🤦‍♀️

Fast forward to a year ago, when my perspective completely shifted. Enter Laurel Skincare. At first, I was skeptical. Like many of you, I’d been trained to believe only synthetic, lab-made ingredients delivered results. But my inner voice nudged me to just look into it.

So, I did what I do best: I researched. I stayed up all night learning about Laurel’s ingredients and formulations. What I discovered blew my mind—not only were plants powerful, but they were often superior to the synthetic ingredients I had trusted for years.

Here’s what I learned:

•Vitamin A (Retinol): Plants like rosehip and calendula provide multiple forms of vitamin A alongside antioxidants and fatty acids, with zero irritation.

•Vitamin C: Plants like camu camu and cranberry provide all forms of vitamin C—brighter, more even-toned skin without disrupting your barrier.

•Hyaluronic Acid: Marshmallow root and heirloom roses offer hydration that’s deeper and more nourishing than synthetic hyaluronic acid.

•Brightening: Licorice and uva ursi naturally fade discoloration and brighten the skin.

•Collagen Support: Horsetail and dandelion encourage collagen production from within.

Switching to Laurel doesn’t mean giving up your favorite ingredients—it means upgrading to their most potent, bioavailable forms that your skin recognizes and uses more effectively.

If you’re curious, try it for yourself. Let your skin decide!

Do I need a moisturizer?
Honestly… not exactly.

Let me introduce you to Laurel’s Balms. Unlike your typical moisturizer—which can be up to 80% water—these balms are completely water-free. That means every single bit of what you’re applying is pure, undiluted goodness for your skin.

Each balm is crafted from fresh whole plants, slowly macerated over three months to capture the full spectrum of antioxidants, vitamins, and lipids. (Re-read that sentence) These nutrients are exactly what your skin craves, especially this time of year when it needs a little extra love.

My favorite part is the way the balms just melt into your skin it has this warm, silky, n’ buttery consistency. You can feel it nourishing every layer of your skin as it soaks in leaving you feeling oh so juicy, glowy, and nourished without feeling heavy.

To the Women of the world, you are powerful beyond what you’ve been taught to believe. There is a quiet strength within you that is deeply resilient. You carry lifetimes of wisdom, courage, and intuition that have been passed down through generations.

Yet, in our culture, you’re often bombarded with messages that demand more—more beauty, more success, more selflessness—like there is always something to fix or improve. You’re told that you’re too much and not enough at the same time, and it’s exhausting. It makes you second-guess your choices, your value, and even your own instincts. But the truth is, you’re not this object to be fixed. The magic is in your imperfections, your vulnerability, your rawness.

Reclaim your story. Find the things that ignite you, whether that’s moments of silence, creativity, or the rawness of being present in your body. Let go of the need to constantly prove your worth. Your worth was never up for debate; it’s inherent and unwavering. Real beauty isn’t something to achieve—it’s something to remember.

To me, it’s not about an edited image or the ‘right’ path; it’s about learning to soften into who you are—every emotion, every scar, and every desire. And in this softening, there is an insane power that can change everything—your relationships, your confidence, and even your skin. It’s a shift from chasing to embracing. The more you let yourself be, the more you’ll find that the life you want has been waiting to meet you, exactly as you are. Xo- Nichole (the woman who sees, feels, n hears you.)

The one product we all typically agree upon in a skincare routine/ritual is a cleanser. Which it as one job; it’s meant to cleanse right? Well, I want more! When I discovered Laurel cleansers contain over 20 beneficial active ingredients, I was honestly in awe. You’re telling me that it not only cleanses it’s also going to improve the health and appearance of my skin? Yes, thank you more, please.

From the first use, everything about it was different—the scent, the texture—it was a whole new experience. No foam? No tight, squeaky feeling? That in of itself is the biggest shift to understand that squeaky clean feeling is actually stripping your skin and causing more harm than good.
Every single ingredient is purposefully chosen to benefit the skin. Ingredients like Rose, Calendula, Burdock, and Dandelion Root, raw Honey, German and Roman Chamomile, Licorice, and Echinacea. They’re here to actively improve your skin’s health. From boosting surface immunity and balancing the microbiome to brightening, hydrating, and providing gentle enzymatic exfoliation, these ingredients work to nourish, protect, and heal.

Calendula alone helps stimulate lymphatic flow, soothes inflammation, and supports breakouts, while raw honey hydrates and gently exfoliates. This is more than just a cleanser!

It’s time to shift how we think about cleansing—and skincare as a whole. Understanding what’s in your products and how they work can be incredibly empowering.

“Oh, so you’re just gonna cleanse my face? That’s cute—but I want more.” That’s exactly what Laurel delivers. It’s not just about taking off the day; it’s about nourishing your skin from the very first step. Laurel’s cleansers contain 12 active ingredients that not only clean but also heal and replenish.

Let’s talk ingredients. For example, Calendula is a powerhouse for calming inflammation and supporting skin recovery, while Chamomile soothes and reduces redness. And then there’s Yarrow, which helps strengthen the skin’s barrier, keeping it resilient and balanced. These aren’t just filler ingredients; they’re carefully chosen to benefit your skin in real, visible ways.

We’ve all been taught that foamy, squeaky-clean feeling is the ultimate goal, but it’s actually harming your skin’s barrier and microbiome. Laurel redefines cleansing by focusing on nourishment, allowing your skin to feel replenished, not stripped. Imagine what happens when your first skincare step supports your skin’s health rather than disrupts it. Every ingredient in Laurel is there only because it benefits your skin—no extras, no fluff, just pure intention.

The fun part about skincare? Deciding you want more and refusing to settle for less. Laurel not only meets your expectations but exceeds them. It’s time to start with more, knowing that even your cleanser is actively working to give you healthier, more radiant skin. So, why settle when you can have it all from the start?

Let’s tap the pause ⏸️ button real right quick!

Do you know why you do what you do for your skin?
In the world of social media, we see what’s trending and assume since they have a pretty face that must be it. Which, might be? I just would love for women to stop for just a hot second and think for yourself. Tap into your own magical intuition. Do I even know what is in this bottle? Have I ever done my own research on the treatments I receive? Blindly, assuming the person who recommended it knows better because they are a professional or they use it so it must be legit.

Somewhere along the way, I started questioning it all. Why do we blindly follow the latest trends, slathering on “miracle” products without ever asking if they truly make sense for us? Why are we so quick to believe that the answer to feeling pretty is in a bottle?

We’ve gotten a bit out of touch with the core of caring for our skin. I’m not talking about just treating what we see on the surface, but understanding that our skin is deeply connected to our emotions and energy. At the end of the day, everything is energy, right? So, wouldn’t it make sense to approach skincare the in that way?

I want to help shift how we think about this. To turn the light on for anyone feeling lost in products and routines that don’t feel aligned. It’s time to start questioning what we’re doing and why.

Why Bioavailability Matters in Skincare

Okay, I love a good analogy! Your skin is like your body digesting food. When you eat real, whole foods—like fresh fruits and veggies—your body knows exactly what to do with them. It absorbs the nutrients effortlessly, giving you energy and nourishment. But when you eat processed foods packed with artificial additives, your body has to work extra hard just to break them down, and you’re not getting nearly as much out of it.

That’s exactly what happens with your skincare. Laurel products are like whole foods for your skin. They’re made from pure, organic plants that your skin just *gets*—they’re bioavailable, meaning your skin can absorb them naturally and deeply. No need for any extra junk to force it.

Now, synthetic skincare? It’s like processed food for your skin. Full of fillers and additives that your skin struggles to absorb, so they end up adding more chemicals to push it all through. It’s like making your skin work overtime for something it didn’t ask for.

With Laurel, you’re feeding your skin the good stuff. You’re giving it what it naturally craves, letting it thrive from the inside out. Just like choosing whole, nourishing foods, choosing Laurel is like saying “Yes!” to what your skin really needs. 🌿

I see you—the woman who’s tried everything, wondering if she’ll ever feel confident in her own skin. Let me tell you this: you don’t need fixing, love. The answer isn’t in another product or treatment. Those things can be helpful, but we’ve been so conditioned to reach for them first, and honestly, it’s just an old, fleeting approach to beauty. What if instead, you started looking within? I’ve been saying it for years—true beauty begins inside, but I’m not talking about your “diet” ( yawn, another boring, overused word). It’s time to tap into something deeper. If you’re curious and want to know more, reach out—I’d love to share this new way of healing with you.

Laurel has just redefined what’s possible in skincare with the Radiance Compound! Imagine the most potent plants in nature, distilled into one drop so powerful, it’s unlike anything the industry has ever seen. This isn’t just skincare—it’s a revolutionary step forward. The Radiance Compound works on a deeper level to hydrate, brighten, and truly transform your skin in a way no synthetic “active” ever could.

And the best part? Laurel just launched a limited Compound line, and each one is crafted to replace outdated, synthetic products with the undeniable potency of nature. If you’ve been following the Laurel Ritual, these Compounds are how you take it to the next level. They are pure, alive, and powerful beyond anything I’ve ever experienced.

I’ve been testing them all, and I genuinely can’t choose a favorite. Every single one is unique, deeply transformative, and unlike anything you’ve ever put on your skin. The Radiance Compound is only the beginning.

Are you ready to experience the next evolution in skincare?

For so long, we’ve been taught that beauty means fixing, perfecting, or covering up what we think is wrong with us. We’re constantly searching for the next product or treatment, hoping it will finally make us feel enough.
But what if we stopped trying to fix ourselves and started uncovering who we really are instead? What if it was about uncovering—about peeling back the layers of conditioning that tell us we aren’t enough and discovering the awareness, confidence, and real you that have always been there?
When you start with your inner world—your emotions, beliefs, and the way you speak to yourself—you begin to redefine a deeper, more lasting kind of beauty.
It’s not a beauty that comes and goes with trends or fades when a product runs out; it’s a beauty that evolves as you do. When you take a step back from all the noise and connect with your inner world—your thoughts, your emotions, and the stories you tell yourself—when you get curious about what’s happening inside and let your inner world guide you.
From that place of inner alignment, you naturally begin to see changes on the outside—clearer skin, vibrant energy, real confidence. It all starts from within, and when you nurture that relationship with yourself, everything else just falls into place.
