10 Things I Used in 2025 That Changed My Health & Well-Being

10 Things I Used in 2025 That Changed My Health & Well-Being

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope your New Year is off to a great start. Today, I hope to share a quick, hopefully helpful blog post. “Things I Used in 2025 That Changed my health & well-being.”As a Midlife 54-year-old Wife & Mom, who’s had a full hysterectomy. Recently, I shared my experience with Everlywell, a blood test that screens for 83 biomarkers and provides a comprehensive review of your health markers. It’s impressive, and you can learn more about it HERE. Something I found awe-inspiring was that I was 10 years younger than my chronological age. Who doesn’t want to hear that? I attribute much of that to the products I take, and I try to eat as clean as possible and stay active.

 12 weeks  after my First (Scar revision treatment) laser treatment round 3 CO2 doing Excel V Laser treatment.

🚨Scar revision 
C02 2 kinds of laser
Deep core - (first 2 treatments)
Or EXcel V - (3rd treatment)
*Excel V - redness & topical
*Deca- core & topical 

I was diagnosed in December, Surgery in January and my first laser in February.

I’ve been sharing this Journey in hopes to help encourage you to make a skin check up appointment. 

Melanoma Cancer is deadly and very different from Skin Cancer.

Melanoma cancer is deadly,  early detection is key, before it can spread to lymph nodes, organs, &  blood. 

If your new here or just seeing this post, I have 6 other parts with all the info and my Journey to date in Feed and stores saved to highlights with more info.

Thank you for all the kind messages, comments and prayers! I appreciate you being apart of my tribe.

Thank you and NOW make your Skin Appointment! 

I am happy to answer any questions in Dm
