Wiggle Butts, Work & Worship

If I had to sum up 2025 so far, it would be three things: wiggle butts, work, and worship.

Here’s a little life update — the pups are thriving (and yes, ridiculously cute). I’m officially outnumbered, and while most of my neighbors think I’m nuts for taking on two dogs, truthfully, it’s been such a gift. They’re far from perfect and don’t always behave the way I’d like, but they keep me moving, keep me laughing, and show me the most unconditional kind of love there is.

We’re a pack — figuring it out as we go. If they had their way, the leashes would disappear and the treat jar would never close.

This year has been all about long walks and learning social grace. Goose, my sweet but reactive boy, loves other dogs but can get spooked easily. It’s taken a lot of patience, structure, and extra TLC to help him feel comfortable. He’s made huge improvements and continues to remind me how far consistency and love can go.

Then there’s Grey — my angel pup. He really is nearly perfect... until you let him off-leash at the park. Then it’s zoomies for days and zero recall! We’re working on it, but watching him run free and happy is pure joy.

Time, diligence, and routine are everything for us. We try new things, drop the ones that don’t work, and keep growing together. Somehow, they always seem to know when I’m serious — usually right after I hit my limit and sound like a complete maniac yelling across the yard. And just like that... perfect angels again.

Let’s just say the gray hairs are earned this year — but I wouldn’t trade this chaos for anything.

Work

Work, as always, is a blessing!

This year I’ve really focused on tuning into what makes Beauty By Alicia authentic. My heart has always been to create a relaxing environment and a high-quality experience — one that helps you feel confident and cared for, inside and out.

Throughout 2025, I leaned into sharing more about individual services and products — highlighting what makes them my favorites and why I choose them for you. In a world that often feels confusing and fast-paced, my goal is to stay grounded in honest treatment plans that achieve long-lasting results and truly benefit your skin over time.

I still pinch myself that I get to do what I love! Being a lifelong skin enthusiast (21 years and counting!) continues to excite and inspire me every single day.

This year’s focus has been on medical-grade treatments that deliver maximum results — think microneedling, microcurrent therapy, and the new Aura 365 Peel, which uses cutting-edge drone technology. I’ve written more blogs than ever and plan to keep that momentum going, introducing new favorites like V’Lume, and spotlighting my two total game-changers from XO8 Serums.

My approach has always been about creating healthy, long-lasting results — aging with grace, confidence, and a little glow.

Looking ahead to 2026, I’m excited to elevate things even more, introducing lymphatic drainage facials and a Red Carpet Experience — a “mini facelift” without the downtime.

As I continue to bring my best face forward (literally and figuratively), I’m beyond grateful for your support, trust, and love. You’ve made this journey one of passion, purpose, and connection — and I can’t wait to share what’s next

Worship & Wholeness

This year, I also shared more about my spiritual journey — and honestly, it was a bold move. But I’m so glad I did. The encouragement, vulnerability, and open conversations that came from it have been incredibly life-giving. Talking about faith, healing, happiness, and purpose has brought us all a little closer together, and for that I’m truly grateful.

2025 has been about building a foundation — one rooted in values and morals I didn’t always have or prioritize. These new pillars have become the guardrails that protect my peace and preserve my joy.

More importantly, I know who I am now — and I know why I’m here. In many ways, I’m just getting started, and it’s been amazing to witness how life shifts when you step fully into your God-given authority. My faith feels stronger than ever, and I know without a doubt that no evil can disrupt my aura.

If you ever need a listening ear or a little encouragement, I’m here. Life can be hard, but we’re never alone — and we are all deeply, beautifully loved

Love & Lashes
