Greetings and welcome to ReNew Organic Skin Care's Blog. My blog will update you on our specials, new services, hour changes and much more. I will also bring you educational information as it pertains to organic health and beauty.

I first became aware of environmental issues at the first Earth Day event held on April 22, 1970. I wandered upon the celebration in New York City quite by accident and it forever changed the way I saw my place on this planet. I started by learning about pesticides and chemical fertilizers and how damaging they were to all living organisms. Naturally I gravitated toward eating organic foods. Twenty years later living in Baltimore Maryland, I became an esthetician. Above and beyond my desire to help people care for their skin I wanted to do so in a way that would co-exist with my philosophies on caring for our selves holistically, while protecting the planet at the same time. Fast forward to 2004. While working at a spa I met a massage therapist named Sherrie Tennesse who shared my dreams. We soon set upon developing a plan to open an eco-friendly day spa. ReNew Organic Day Spa opened it's doors on December 8, 2006. But life constantly brings changes and on May 30, 2009 we closed the spa. I found a nice little space across the street and in mid June will open Renew Organic Skin Care, a studio where I will offer personalized skin care using the finest organic products.

Come back and visit this blog, but more importantly we'd like you to come the spa and experience our fabulous customer-oriented services and toxic-free products.


Thank you,
