Here at the Aveda Institute Portland we have a tradition of celebrating Earth Month in style. Whether it's on a runway or behind the chair we have made a point of unifying two very different worlds; one of nature and earth and the other of hair and skin.

The Ugly Truth
In this blog I featured both my 2nd and my 3rd facial together. Why? because the results of the 2nd didn't look very promising. But I wanted to assure you that there is indeed "light at the end of the tunnel".

And when you see the results of Facial #3? Totally worth it!
Facial #2: Thursday March 10th i.e. not my favorite moment in time
