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. Thank YOU for your love and support and showing up for us. Thanks for reading and for shining so bright! We are updating and planting new seeds for the next year. 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💫🌈
