In today’s blog post, we’re exploring the game-changing benefits of GLP-1 medications for gut health and metabolic function, the advantages of maintaining a simple, chemical-free skincare routine, plus this month's Ride or Die product Michelle never misses in her daily routine! Gut Health and Metabolism: |
|
Over a year ago, I made a conscious decision to simplify my skincare routine. I waved goodbye to my 10-step regimen, which was filled with potentially harmful ingredients. Instead, I chose a cleaner approach, opting for products from trusted lines like Prakash Organics, CLEARSTEM, and Hugh & Grace.
My goal was crystal clear: I wanted a skincare routine that was not only effective but also aligned with my values — hormone-free, vegan, and 100% natural. This shift allows me to embrace a makeup-free look confidently. Sometimes, less really is more, and this simple routine has truly delivered on that promise. |

Morning Routine:
Keep It Simple!
Simplifying my skincare routine has completely changed how I approach beauty. If you’re looking to cut down on steps while still using safe and effective products, we’ve got you covered! At Magnolia, we offer a range of products designed to enhance your natural beauty without compromising on purity and effectiveness.
With love!

- Cleanse: Begin the day with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type. I personally use Hugh & Grace's Purifying Cleansing Bar. It's hormone-free, safe for all ages, and enriched with adaptogens to detoxify, fight bacteria, and reduce inflammation.
- Serum: Next, protect the skin by applying a serum rich in antioxidants. I recommend using Prakash Organics Unrefined Brilliant C & E Complex. This brightening vitamin C serum shields your skin from daily exposure to free radicals, keeping it healthy and vibrant all day long.
- Protect: Before heading out, don't forget to apply a mineral-based SPF of 30 or higher to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.
- Remove Makeup and Cleanse: Wind down by removing any makeup with a gentle makeup remover or cleansing oil. Follow this up with a thorough cleanse using a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. Again, I personally use Hugh & Grace's Purifying Cleansing Bar. Ensure all traces of makeup, dirt, and impurities are removed.
- Apply Face Oil: After cleansing and applying your preferred serums, nourish your skin with Prakash Organics Lighter or Heavier Unrefined Face Oil (depending on the level of moisture your skin needs). This nutrient-rich blend of oils, vitamins, and antioxidants works overnight to repair and renew your skin, promoting a soft, supple, and clear appearance. Its benefits include slowing down aging signs, strengthening the skin barrier, and promoting collagen production. If preferred, finish with your moisturizer last!
- Exfoliate: Two to three times a week, indulge in gentle exfoliation to reveal a smoother complexion. My go-to is CLEARstem VITAMINSCRUB Antioxidant-Infused Scrub Cleanser. It effectively removes dead skin cells without harsh chemicals, leaving your skin refreshed and renewed.

As someone devoted to skincare excellence and obsessed with radiant skin, my mornings start with one goal: glowing, healthy skin. That's why Prakash Organics' Unrefined Brilliant C & E Complex is now a must in my daily routine. Here's why it's a game-changer:
Crafted with top-notch Vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate 7%) and a powerful mix of Vitamin E variants, this serum guarantees top-tier skin nourishment and protection. It’s not just effective—it's a game-changer. I've seen firsthand how it amps up collagen, brightens my glow, and smooths out pesky lines, leaving my skin looking as youthful as ever. Plus, its light, non-greasy texture sinks in like a dream, hydrating and shielding me from daily stressors.
Every morning, after cleansing, applying Prakash Organics' complex has become my go-to antioxidant serum. Its compatibility with other skincare products, including retinoids, ensures a seamless integration into my routine without any irritation. What truly sets this product apart is its blend of Kakadu Plum Seed Oil, Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil, and other botanicals, which not only protect but also revitalize and strengthen my skin. This formula is pure magic, embodying Prakash Organics' love for quality and natural skincare.
Ready to level up your AM routine? Trust me, this serum is about to become your new obsession!
Happy glowing!

”Love the hydration and glow that BIOJUVE gives me! The products feel very nourishing and gentle; they are moisturizing without being oily or greasy. My skin is sensitive, prone to both eczema and acne, and BIOJUVE has not irritated it at all. I’ve had far fewer cystic breakouts, and the breakouts I have gotten seem to heal much quicker and post-breakout pigmentation fades faster. I’ve received so many compliments on my skin and people asking me what I've been doing, so others are noticing the glow too!”

Why You Shouldn’t Groupon Botox or Other Injectables
Hello, beauties! Welcome to Michelle’s Soapbox, where we dive into the world of aesthetics and wellness with a dose of practical wisdom. Today, I want to tackle a topic that’s close to my heart as a nurse practitioner and owner of Magnolia: why you should think twice before jumping on Groupon deals for Botox and other injectables.
Quality Over Discounts
Let’s address a question I often get here at Magnolia: whether we match Groupon pricing. Honestly, it’s always a cringe-worthy moment for me. Here’s the deal: when it comes to medical treatments like Botox and fillers, choosing based on price alone is risky business. As someone who’s dedicated years to mastering my craft through extensive schooling and training, I can tell you firsthand that expertise and quality products make all the difference.
The Groupon Temptation
Sure, Groupon loves to tempt us with deals that seem too good to pass up. But here’s the catch—those rock-bottom prices often come with hidden costs. Think questionable product origins or injectors lacking proper training. When it comes to your face and health, shortcuts aren’t worth it.
Injectable Safety and Quality
Another critical concern is the quality of the products used. At Magnolia, we take great care to reconstitute Botox and fillers consistently, ensuring optimal effectiveness and longevity. Using expired or over-diluted products can significantly reduce their duration. On average, Botox lasts 3-5 months, while fillers can provide results lasting anywhere from 6 months to 24 months, depending on the type and amount used.
Why Choose Experience and Safety
It can be the Wild West when it comes to who is injecting tox! At Magnolia, we’re all about expertise and safety. Our team of providers bring years of specialized training to every treatment. From ensuring the authenticity of FDA-approved products to following stringent safety protocols, we prioritize your well-being above all else. Your trust in us means everything, and we’re committed to delivering results that enhance your natural beauty safely and effectively.
Making the Right Investment in Yourself
Your beauty journey is a personal investment—one that deserves thoughtful consideration and care. Choosing Magnolia means choosing a partner who understands your unique aesthetic goals and has the skills to achieve them with precision. We’re not just about treatments; we’re about empowering you to feel confident and radiant in your own skin.
Choosing Magnolia
Why should you choose Magnolia over a Groupon deal? Here’s why it matters:
Final Thoughts
As you explore options for Botox and other injectables, remember: your choice of provider matters. Don’t let tempting discounts cloud your judgment when it comes to your health and appearance. At Magnolia, we’re committed to delivering excellence in every treatment because your satisfaction and safety are our top priorities.
