It's our 5th birthday!!🎂 🎊 🎉 It is hard to believe that ILLUMINE is 5 years old. It has been so incredible to create something from nothing, take an idea and make it a real magazine.

Stay tuned and please sign up for our mailing list to stay in touch! Enjoy some photos of past issues
And now for lite 😎but important news: I found #bestnailsalon in @chicago And it’s NOT because we both chose a magical name for our business: @illuminate_salon_chicago (although that is the only reason I checked them out.) They are a #bestkeptsecret for #nailsinchicago They offer high touch and high tech, introducing the European manicure and other cutting edge techniques to make my little #selfcareritual my favorite! These women are hardworking and offer that rare customer touch that I so appreciate because I #doitwithlove too! I hear I just missed my favorite @midoridoumani today. She knows what’s up!
And here are two tips: get a pedicure and use the massage function in the chair. You will be delighted😉 and @opi #eternalshine @ Illuminate Salon&Spa
It’s called Moon Language🌝The whole poem by Hafiz is this: Admit something:
Everyone you see, you say to them, "Love 🧡me."
Of course you do not do this out loud 😶, otherwise someone would call the cops.
Still, though, think about this, this great pull in us to connect.
Why not become the one who lives with a full moon in each eye that is always saying,
with that sweet moon language,
what every other eye in this world is dying to hear? Hafiz (1320-1388). His knowledge of the human heart is so deep. That all we really want from one another is a little love, but instead we put up walls with ego or armour, or one-ups. I invite you/dare 🔥you: to try a little more moon language this month, say “love me” a lot more in your own way, just for fun. It’s magic💫🌈
