Welcome back!

Earlier I mentioned how there are some great perks to freelance writing that may not be obvious at first. In addition, I am starting to recognize instances where what I focus on is being drawn to me.

Here’s an example that illustrates both points. I was using my favorite writer’s source site, HARO, to get a source for a skin article I was writing. An aesthetician who happen to be in the same county  in which I live, responded with some great material for my article.

Not only did Lisa from Skin Scripts, provide a great quote and a great story that illustrated the point I was trying to make, she also offered me a discount on a facial.  That’s sounds pretty sweet all on its own, doesn’t it? You bet, but it gets better.

I go to her website as part of my research and I am greeted by fresh, shining happy multicultural faces. It turns out that her skin clientele falls within the multicultural demographic. I was so excited because not only did I have great material for my article, I now had material for my blog audience, not to mention I was going to get a facial that was geared toward my skin type.

I went to visit her and Lisa’s story is very unique in that an abundance of multicultural referrals were funneled to her from dermatologists and other folks in the business of beautifying the skin. Now with the increasing demand for multicultural skincare based on her reputation, she needed a solution that would help these patients with their specialized needs. The result is her own fantastic  skincare line for multicultural folks.

Many assume that darker or olive skin doesn’t need as much attention  “it doesn’t burn” or it would seem that blemishes and imperfections are not easily noticeable as it is on extremely fair skin.  I’m here to tell you that I had  my first sunburn experience in 6th grade. I was under the mistaken assumption that I wouldn’t burn so I did without the sunblock which I had done my entire life up to that point. Well, I was painfully mistaken as my nose and cheeks burned. It hurt to the touch and I had no idea what was wrong. Needless to say, I learned something new about my skin that day.

I’ve been using Lisa’s Skin Script skincare line  since December and my face has never been this hydrated. It is also becoming very even and some of the rough spots are finally starting to smooth out. This isn’t just a plug for Lisa’s skincare line, but an example of how my focus on multiculturalism has attracted products and people into my life with a similar focus. What and/or who are you attracting into your life based on your focus?
