HEALTH, WELLNESS AND BEAUTY

What is skincare all about to you? How does it make you feel?

Skincare is self-care. Taking care of your skin is a gift you are giving to yourself. Having a consistent skincare routine is something your future self will thank you for. Since I've really started taking care of my skin, I have felt more confident, more beautiful in my own skin (with and without makeup) and have felt more in control of my life. It's relaxing to do and has all the great benefits on the other side. It's truly a win-win.

How has your career as a former pro cheerleader influenced your passion for beauty and skincare?

Being a professional cheerleader, it is your job to maintain good image and with that comes the necessity of a diligent beauty routine. Being in full hair and makeup every day can be damaging, so taking care of your skin is crucial. My love for beauty came before I was on the football field, but being on the team certainly brought my passion to a new level. At the end of the day, you want to look and feel your best both during games and outside of practice. While being on Vikings, I learned that it starts with a good base of healthy nutrition (yes, food can affect your skin!), a good skincare routine, and of course, that beauty sleep. You will never regret getting into good habits! much in my life that it only feels right to pass it on. Having the opportunity to coach such a distinguished team is an honor. Although my time in the NFL brought me a great deal of knowledge and a unique experience, I continue to learn from my team every day. It is truly a collaboration and I don't take this moment for granted.

What are some new trends or techniques you have been trying or implementing into FACE FOUNDRIÉ?

We are always trying new techniques at FACE FOUNDRIÉ as the beauty industry is always evolving. One of my favorite facials to give is the Cryo Queen facial. It uses Cryo technology to firm and tighten the skin. Mixed with the dermaplaning add-on, it quite literally makes your skin look like glass! It is a fan favorite for a reason!

What things are most dear to your heart (family, faith, etc.) and how do they empower you daily?

My faith is incredibly important to me and guides me through each and every area and season of my life. Faith is always number one but family takes a close second. It's cliche to say, but without them, I most certainly wouldn't be where or who I am today.
