Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well, hola, beautiful is a holistic wellness and
health business that specializesin massage therapy, acupuncture
, skincare.
Skincare is what I dopersonally and that's what we do
.
We have a beautiful location inCooper City off of Griffin and
(01:18):
Knob.
I'm not sure if anybody's seenit, but it has like a humongous
balcony in the back.
So it's more than just like theservices.
It's a very calm building.
It's called the Water GardenPlace.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Love it.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Yes, it is, it is it's surrounded, it's very zen
Huh.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Very zen like.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Very zen.
It's shaped like a U and allthe businesses are overlooking a
beautiful water garden.
So in the front, in the back,it's very peaceful, so a lot of
clients just come here and relax.
There's a lot of other wellnessbusinesses in the same building
, so it's a very zen, veryhealth and wellness approach to
(01:56):
health and skincare.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, I've been encountering more and more
lately folks that are involvedwith holistic wellness and that
whole space.
I'm at a point in my life whereI am really focused on that
myself, so I'm attracting whatI'm focused on.
So I've done a lot of podcastswith folks from all different
industries, whether it's aholistic approach to total body
(02:22):
care with medicine or with whatyou're doing with skincare and
everything in between.
You know I I've been been in itfor for years now and I really
love seeing that approach towellness, this whole holistic,
whole body approach.
So you mentioned that youspecialize in skincare.
So how many, how many of thereare?
Are you at Ola?
Is it?
(02:42):
Is it kind?
It kind of like a salon suitetype model, or is that?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
It is.
It is you know.
I mean to really know about OlaBeautiful's journey, where it
came from, and to answer a lotof these questions.
It kind of has like a littlestory to it.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Let's hear it.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
So I know you like those.
So, believe it or not, you knowI was a stay-at-home mom.
I married a wonderful man andwe had a beautiful life.
Unfortunately, he was diagnosedwith diabetes at the age of 32.
And unfortunately it's adegenerative disease that
(03:18):
eventually started to affect hishealth overall.
And you know we tried differentconventional means.
Obviously, you know he was agreat cook.
He loved to cook, so heprepared all the meals.
Everything was very healthy andhe did what he could.
Unfortunately, it didn't workand he succumbed to it.
(03:38):
You know he passed away.
But before that happened, youknow we were put in a situation
that we put a lot of funds andmoney into his health, and not
only the conventional way butalso holistic ways as well.
I mean, we were desperate, wewanted to kind of save his life
and we, we spent a lot andunfortunately we lost a lot.
But in that process, you know,knowing the fact that I had to
(04:02):
provide for my kids, you know Ihad to move on eventually
because he wasn't going to bethere for very long.
Unfortunately, after thatdiagnosis, you know he passed
away six years.
But it wasn't something thatyou know from one day to another
, no, it was a process.
So you know we were losing apiece of him all the time, you
know.
Fortunately, you know, his bodysuccumbed to all the you know
(04:24):
conditions and the medicine andthe side effects, unfortunately,
of all this medicine.
But cognitively he was still abrilliant man and he was able to
still work from home, remotely,and provide for the family, and
it gave me the ability to kindof realize I have to do
something.
What can I do?
I can't afford to, you know, goback into the corporate world.
(04:45):
I was an accountant, you know,but I wanted to be with my
children.
I was a late in life mom andyou know I had my son when I was
40.
I had my daughter when I was 42.
So I didn't want to be a nineto five, but I still had to
provide and I was, as I wasaging, I was more interested in
skincare and treatments and onceI realized that it's a
(05:05):
profession that not only doesn'trequire a lot of education
thank goodness or time, you know, it's something that a person
can do independently eventually,and go on their own, you know,
make as much as they want, do somany different aspects to skin
care.
And I decided to get into thatbusiness and thankfully he was
(05:26):
healthy enough to still providefor the family and give me that
opportunity to start my business.
So, you know, I eventually wentto school.
I worked for someone for likesix months and you know, the
need to provide just made me doeverything at an accelerated
rate.
You know.
Know, just take the leap whereyou know it's pretty terrifying,
(05:49):
but you know I didn't reallyhave a lot of time.
So within six months I rentedout a room in a nail salon
within the same building.
It's a cute little nail salonand again, the need I was doing
well and I was pleased.
You know, I'm helping people.
You know, not only am Iproviding for my family but I'm
also doing something for someonethat affects them in so many
(06:11):
ways, and that's a differenttopic we can get into later.
But you know, the bottom lineis that it's something that I
was very happy with and I knewthat I can really grow and do a
lot of really good things withit.
But I couldn't do it in a littletiny room.
So, again, only six months whenthis suite became available.
It was a lot because it wasjust me and I was just building
(06:33):
up my clientele.
So I took the leap of faithbecause it was available.
The building is so beautifulthat there is no availability,
so I really wanted to stay hereand I just took the leap of
faith and thankfully, thecommunity and my clients you
know they love me so much thatthey came in here and used.
(06:57):
I was the first person here, soI was the only one.
I didn't have any tenants, itwas me.
I only started with my roomready.
This entire place was empty.
I know that's crazy.
The bathroom was good, it wasclean, but the entire place was
empty other than my room and myclients were completely content
with that.
But I was able to get my firsttenant.
You know he's a massagetherapist, joshua Walder.
(07:19):
He's amazing and you know.
Through that I was able to getother tenants and then, once it
kind of helped, it relieved someof that financial burden of
paying for the place myself.
I was able to reinvest it intoother things like making and
growing my own skincare, whichit really completely changed my
(07:39):
business and my life.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Skincare products.
Yes, yes, okay, yes, yes, gotit.
So you mentioned, so OlaBeautiful.
Do all the businesses workunder that, under the name Ola
Beautiful, or is thatspecifically for your skincare?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
No, that is the name of the suites.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You know it's.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Ola Beautiful, but they have their names
individually on their doors withtheir businesses or license
information.
They have to.
You know it's like a salonsuite type thing but within you
know Ola Beautiful, which is mybusiness.
You know my skin care isbeautiful skin by HB.
(08:24):
OK so Go ahead, sorry, no,you're good to go.
Ok, it's something that youknow.
Out of course, out of need, Ialways had to scale the business
.
So once I got all the tenantsin here and everything was great
, you know, some, you know, helpme with the rent, pay the rent.
Obviously I needed to providemore.
So I'm always looking for waysto scale and you know the root
(08:46):
to that is always need.
So I decided that once I was inschool and I realized all the
chemicals that were used inskincare products, especially
professional brands.
It's a little scary what's inthere.
You know there's a lot of mythsabout that and that's one of
the questions we'll tap intolater.
But you know it's somethingthat I realized that once I
(09:06):
graduated I definitely didn'twant any professional
conventional products.
I wanted to do something thatwas organic and you know I
didn't want to do any organic.
I wanted to do maybe an FDAcertified organic, you know,
just to verify that it is.
But you know, with time Irealized that as long as it's
mass produced, it's really notwhat you really think it is and
(09:28):
it's mainly all water.
And even though, if it'sorganic, you know the chemicals
are made, the alcohol is madeorganically and, yes, everything
is a chemical.
But there's a differencebetween a natural chemical and a
synthetic chemical.
A natural chemical you can findin, you know, fruits and
vegetables.
You know that's where we get.
You know our nutrients well.
(09:48):
The skin is an organ, so italso responds to real nutrients
and you get more nutrients andnatural products than you do in
a synthetically made product.
That's mainly all.
Water, you know, has alcohol andsodium just to stabilize the
water, to make sure that there'sno bacteria, and there's a lot
(10:10):
of things that has to do withjust because there's water in
there.
There's chemicals in there justto make water thick.
There's chemicals in there tomake it a certain color.
There's chemicals in there tobind different ingredients in
there and then there's chemicalsto preserve it.
A lot of these chemicals arefound in plastic and cleansing
detergents.
It's not something that youreally want in your body and,
(10:34):
like you said, everybody isstarting to become more aware of
their health, especially as weget older.
I know that I have.
You know, losing my husbandmade me realize that.
You know I have two childrenthat kind of depend on me and I
need to be here for them as longas possible.
So you know, I definitely youknow have taken more of a
stronger approach to holistichealth overall, because it's
(10:57):
more than just you know the skin, you know it's the body, it's
the food that you eat, it's thatexercise that you get so all of
it so Idecided to.
Um, you know, instead of usingan organic line, even though it
was organic and it was certified, it was still cheaply made.
You know, they focus more onthe marketing and the containers
(11:19):
than what's really in there.
Honestly, 80% is water.
It's crazy.
So I decided that, you know,this can't be that hard.
You know there has to be, youknow, a holistic ingredient to
kind of give me the same effect.
So I started to research theskin a little bit more.
You know a holistic ingredientto kind of give me the same
effect.
So I started to research theskin a little bit more.
You know, in school it's ageneral topic that we cover.
(11:40):
You don't really cover, like,the skin and and the layers and
the you know components of it,how it functions and if it is,
it's very brief, you know, andthey definitely do not cover
anything holistic.
Everything is geared towards,you know, one side.
So I decided that, you know I,they definitely do not cover
anything holistic.
Everything is geared towards,you know, one side.
So I decided that, you know, Iwanted to try a different side,
a side that I know that wouldhelp me, you know, continue my
(12:00):
family's health, and decided togo completely a holistic,
natural approach which is realingredients.
So after doing research, youknow, I realized that, believe
it or not, the most importantthing for the skin is oil.
People don't realize it, butyou know we're made in a certain
(12:23):
way that our body gives us whatwe need and provides, and
there's sebaceous glandsunderneath our pores producing
oil for so many reasons, for somany purposes.
So if we're producing oil forthe skin, why are we using
everything?
Water, alcohol and sodium?
That's like, you know, anopposite of that.
So once you realize that theskin needs oil, then you find
out out of all the oils, youknow which oil is the best.
(12:46):
And through that journey, youknow, I found that there's
different types of, you know,oil categories.
There's a dry oil and there's awet oil.
You know a wet oil is an oilthat the molecular size of the
ingredient is so big it can'tpenetrate the pores.
So either it, you know,suffocates it completely because
there's no way for it to go, orit takes a very long time to
(13:09):
penetrate.
And when you deprive the skinof oxygen, because the lungs and
the skin are the only two waysto receive atmospheric oxygen
and the oxygen feeds the cellsthat are right underneath your
skin.
You know, moisture goes in andout of the body.
So when you're using petroleumjelly and all these things that
are actually, you know, blockingthe skin from doing these
(13:30):
things, it starts to, you know,malfunction and a lot of the
signs are.
It starts to, you know,malfunction and a lot of the
signs are like dryness and, youknow, age spots, and you know a
lot of different issues.
So I decided to try to focus myline on the number one thing
that we need is oil, and out ofall the oils, you know, the dry
(13:52):
oils are the oils that the sizeis so small, they're easily, you
know, penetrated into the skinand absorbed into the
bloodstream, you know.
So.
You know it's a really healthy,you know, ingredient and out of
all the oils that areconsidered dry oils, hemp oil is
the best oils hemp oil is thebest.
You know jojoba oil is also themolecular size more compatible
(14:15):
to our natural oils, but itdoesn't have the same amount of
benefits and ingredients.
You know I recently came outwith a skincare, holistic
skincare magazine and thefeature product is hemp.
It's amazing, all the nutrientsthat are in there that the skin
responds to.
So people that have no issueswith their skin they can get
(14:40):
away with just using, you know,regular synthetic or you know
over-the-counter organicingredients that really have no
effect and then the activeingredient is probably so strong
that it's you know it can't be100 good for you.
So to have that option, to usesomething natural instead, tends
(15:00):
to be better and sometimes,unfortunately, the industry is
not geared to, you know, tryingto let you know that you can use
natural remedies to take careof yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
The industry is geared towards profit, as with
most industries.
So there's so much.
It's just like with food right,you go out, and it is
incredibly difficult nowadays togo out and shop and get pure
products, naturally sourcedproducts.
The way they package things inthe grocery, like it gives the
(15:31):
appearance that it's healthy,but then when you actually look
into what what's in it, it's along list of ingredients, some
of them you've never even heardof.
You don't know if it's good orbad, and you're kind of in this
position where you just kind ofput things in your body that
aren't really good for you.
That's why I think it'sinteresting what's going on with
RFK coming into office and thenew administration.
Just then you can say what youwill about the guy.
(15:51):
A lot of people think he's aquack, think he's crazy.
A lot of people are happy aboutwhat he's doing.
But just starting theconversation about this, just
bringing awareness around whatwe're putting on our body and
you mentioned diabetes, it'sbecome a huge epidemic in the
country Just having thatconversation is starting to
change the narrative, becauseour healthcare system is it's
broken, but it can't be fixedfrom the top down.
(16:16):
You have to.
You have to fix the underlyingissue, and the underlying issue
is the health of the health ofpeople right what we're putting
on our bodies, how we're takingcare of ourselves.
And unfortunately, we live inan instant gratification society
and there's a quick fix pillfor everything and people just
don't take care of themselves.
We put a lot of crap in ourbodies.
We don't exercise, we don'tdo't do healthy things.
Of course we're going to have ahealthcare epidemic.
So, I think just talking aboutthis stuff and raising awareness
(16:39):
is changing the narrative andis moving things in a positive
direction.
Absolutely.
I did want to say, when itcomes to skincare, I'm a guy.
I don't really focus too muchon skincare.
If not for my wife, I wouldn'tput anything.
If she gives me like a cream,like here, put this on your face
, I'm like all right.
Whatever I just put on my face,You're very normal, typical guy
(17:00):
.
Yeah, it's a typical guy thing,but obviously it's just as
important for men as it is forwomen.
Right, we're all, we all haveour skin.
What, what, what piece ofadvice would you give to
somebody like me Right, you'rerunning the bill 45 year old guy
who's starting to see thewrinkles coming in and starting
to see these things setting inand I'm like, whatever you know,
(17:21):
I'm just aging.
What piece of advice would yougive me to start taking care of
my skin in a more effective way?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Right, right.
Well, you know creating aroutine but, believe it or not,
the routine doesn't have to beenormous.
You know more doesn't equalbetter, but you still need a
routine and, believe it or not,you know I know that guys work
out and stuff like that.
You know you should definitelybathe, you know with.
You know soap, you know daily.
But you know you can refreshwith water.
(17:49):
You can get in the shower andyou can refresh, maybe clean
your privates and everything,but you don't really need to use
soap several times a day.
What you're actually doing isstripping your own natural oils
are there to hydrate your skin.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Probably drying the skin by doing that a lot?
Huh, probably drying the skinout by applying too much soap,
exactly, I can imagine, like theover-the-counter soaps that you
got are probably filled with abunch of crap, right, I?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
can imagine, like the over-the-counter soaps that you
got to probably fill with abunch of crap, right, right,
right.
And you need to moisturize.
You know what you take awaybecause there's going to be a
little bit.
You have to replenish and youknow again, hemp oil is amazing.
It's for all skin types, it's.
You know you need oil.
So, honestly, there's very fewproducts that you need because
it has everything that all theseother products that are going
to give you a little bit of this, it has everything.
(18:34):
So you really just only need alittle bit.
You know, a couple of dropsreally goes a long way.
I have before and afterpictures of my skin that was
burned over here.
You don't see any marks oranything like that, but I have a
date where it clearly says likeon the 18th of january I had
burns all along here and forthem to be completely gone in a
(18:57):
month is pretty special it's aregular skin care would not be
able to do that.
So it, you know it gave the skinall the nutrients that it needs
to to to heal.
So for a guy, you know, a niceoil.
But everybody, no matter whoyou are the simplest thing that
you can do and this is my littleadvice is that you know
(19:17):
different estheticians anddermatologists.
We can have differentapproaches to a problem or to
skin, but we're all on the samepage on how simple and how
important but effective sunblockis, and you know especially the
guys that are out there golfingand fishing and stuff.
I love the voting life too, butyou really have to protect your
skin by wearing sunblock andthat really does make a
(19:39):
difference in terms of, you know, aging.
But again, now you're dealingwith, you know, a healthier
version compared to one that youknow is probably not as healthy
, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, speaking of hemp oil, I got to give a shout
out to a good friend of mine,marilisa Lawless, with Hemp Del
Sol.
We actually do a podcasttogether and and goodness is
cannabis.
Hemp is such an amazing plant.
It really is and it's so.
it's such a travesty that it wasdemonized to the extent that
was back in the sixties andsevents, with this whole war on
(20:14):
war on drugs and all of that itis a tobacco company, wasn't
going to make any money yeah, Imean, it's such such an amazing
plant and such an amazing tooland I just I see moving forward
wonderful things happening inthat space as it becomes more
mainstream and more legal Alsowith like psychedelics and
things like that.
I'm fascinated by that as well.
(20:35):
I see that that becoming a bigpart of our society moving
forward.
It's really really fascinatingto get into this stuff for sure.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Go ahead.
No no, no, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, no, after you, jackie, please.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Thank you very much.
Well, just tapping on to likethe hemp, I have a list of all
the like vitamins and nutrientsthat are in here that you can
buy out in the market that haslike lactic acid in there, which
is a synthetic version, whichwhen you're dealing with
(21:13):
synthetics, there's always goingto be a side effect to that
active ingredient.
Or you can use something likeyogurt, which is 100% natural
and unless you have an allergicreaction to it, which is
unlikely, very, very few I meanit's way more healthy, it's way
more effective.
Not only are you putting lacticacid, but all the other
vitamins and nutrients that youcan find in a product like that.
(21:35):
Same thing with sugar that's anatural glycolic acid.
It's more healthy and effectivethan something that's said a
little while ago in terms of youknow, you know the market and
everybody just starting torealize.
You know that their health isimperative and they need to do
(21:56):
something about it and they'rebecoming more aware.
I feel that a lot of the peopledon't know what it is to be
healthy and how the simplestthings really affect them.
You know, like the skin, peopleprobably look at it in such a
superficial manner that you knowthey just really don't look
skin deep, but they don'trealize how complex it is and
(22:18):
how it's vital to life.
I mean, without it, you know,we would not be able to sustain
anything.
You know it's a vital organ,it's the biggest organ.
Yeah, exactly, it's the biggestorgan and it's the most
neglected.
So, yeah, exactly, it's thebiggest organ and it's the most
neglected and it is, it could be, the most effective because
it's, you know, it's the largestorgan.
That you say and you know, notonly does it matter, like the
(22:39):
products, it's just it's like amassage, it's, you know,
repetitive and you know, themore that you massage it in, not
only does it go in deeper, butyou're stimulating the blood and
(23:01):
you're, you know it becomeslike a health aspect because it
boosts your immune system.
I mean, there's just so manydifferent things.
When you boost your immunesystem, you also boost the
immune system of the skin.
People don't realize that a lotof these chemicals that they're
using are actually bringing downthe immunities of the skin and
if they have like a cut andeverything, they're susceptible
to infections easier than otherpeople that have healthy skin.
So it really does matter andwhat I feel is that we're
(23:26):
inundated with chemicals.
It's honestly in the air, inthe water that we drink, the
things that we touch, you know,the food that we eat, even
organic, like you say.
You know there's something inthere, you know, and that it's
not enough, and then wewillingly put it on our body.
And it's just education, andyou know, I've helped so many
(23:48):
people who have had reallyhealth issues with their skin to
the point where their skin isclear, their health is better,
because a holistic approach isyou know not, you know only
natural skincare being appliedto the skin.
It's just overall, though,considering the person as a
whole.
You know their, you know theirexercise and how exercise
increases oxygen.
Obviously it's going to helpyou internally, right?
(24:09):
You know their, you know theirexercise and how exercise
increases oxygen.
Obviously it's going to helpyou internally, right?
You know it's going to keepyour muscles intact and the more
that your body has muscles, thehealthier you're going to be,
because it's going to bring upyour immune system.
So it also increases the oxygenflow, which, you know, when
you're pumping yourselves withoxygen, it's like the most
amazing thing that you can dofor it, because without oxygen
(24:30):
they'll start to oxidize.
So you know exercise is vitalbecause it does affect the
health of the skin as well.
As you know, it has a mentalhealth aspect to it.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
You know a lot of people that have so huge I know
exercise for me like.
I started running about a yearand a half ago and unfortunately
, it's wearing down my body andI love it.
It's such a great outlet for meand it really makes me feel
amazing, and I hurt myself theother day and I want to get back
out there, but I also hurtmyself, so it actually opened up
(25:03):
the window into another part ofme that I need to work on,
which is my flexibility, and thereason why I kept getting hurt
running was because I wasn'tstretching enough, which is my
flexibility, and the reason whyI kept getting hurt running was
because I wasn't stretchingenough.
So this last little bout I hadwith that opened me up to doing
that, and then, as I get older,muscle mass exercising with
weights is so important, so I'vebeen trying to do more of that.
I think the problem, though,that a lot of people have in our
(25:24):
society is twofold right, it'snot that people aren't aware I
don't want to use that wordloosely.
It's not that they don'trealize that you need to
exercise, you need to eat, right, like all these things.
At a fundamental level, mostpeople acknowledge the fact that
you need to do these things tobe healthy.
It's just that it's not easy todo all this right.
(25:45):
It requires you to do, tocreate habits, routines and go
through all the and it's not.
It's not hard when you do it uh, when you break it down into
little pieces.
But creating these routines andthese habits and doing it
consistently over a long periodof time can be challenging for
people, especially when we livein an instant gratification,
quick, quick fix society, whenthere's a pill for everything,
(26:07):
right?
it's like why do I?
Why would I go do all this workon myself?
I could just take this pill andI'll be fine.
And we fall into old habitsquickly and we're always kind of
chasing comfortability.
The older I get, the more Irealize that I need to lean into
the uncomfortability and I needto step into that to get better
.
That's where the true growthcomes from.
So, yeah, I think it just goesback to, like you said,
(26:30):
education, right, starting froma very, very early age, like
kids in school.
I think the school system, thecurriculum, should be altered in
a meaningful way to focus a lotmore on physical health, mental
wellness right?
Kids should be like doingmeditation practice in school,
breath work right Kids should bedoing, not just have one little
period for physical educationshould be integrated even more.
(26:52):
These things are so, soimportant and they're often
overlooked.
And then by the time you get tobe older, you're already set,
you already got these programsrunning.
It becomes that much moredifficult to overcome it.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yeah, yes, yeah, you definitely have to start you
know at an early age, becausethat's when you create your
habits.
You know, I, the people that Inormally come across, the ones
that you know are consistentwith you, know their health and
their routine are.
Those are the ones that kind ofalways did it, the ones that
kind of do it, you know,occasionally, or started late in
life.
It's very hard to maintain it,you know, because we're always
(27:24):
challenged with everyday.
You know circumstances and youknow hardships and it's easy to
just say, you know I'm not goingto.
You know, work out today.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Old programs die hard , okay, so.

Okay, so let's get into this.
Okay, hola, beautiful is thename of your business.
Tell us a little bit about whatyou do.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well, hola, beautiful is a holistic wellness and
health business that specializesin massage therapy, acupuncture
, skincare.
Skincare is what I dopersonally and that's what we do
.
We have a beautiful location inCooper City off of Griffin and
(01:18):
Knob.
I'm not sure if anybody's seenit, but it has like a humongous
balcony in the back.
So it's more than just like theservices.
It's a very calm building.
It's called the Water GardenPlace.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Love it.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Yes, it is, it is it's surrounded, it's very zen
Huh.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Very zen like.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Very zen.
It's shaped like a U and allthe businesses are overlooking a
beautiful water garden.
So in the front, in the back,it's very peaceful, so a lot of
clients just come here and relax.
There's a lot of other wellnessbusinesses in the same building
, so it's a very zen, veryhealth and wellness approach to
(01:56):
health and skincare.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, I've been encountering more and more
lately folks that are involvedwith holistic wellness and that
whole space.
I'm at a point in my life whereI am really focused on that
myself, so I'm attracting whatI'm focused on.
So I've done a lot of podcastswith folks from all different
industries, whether it's aholistic approach to total body
(02:22):
care with medicine or with whatyou're doing with skincare and
everything in between.
You know I I've been been in itfor for years now and I really
love seeing that approach towellness, this whole holistic,
whole body approach.
So you mentioned that youspecialize in skincare.
So how many, how many of thereare?
Are you at Ola?
Is it?
(02:42):
Is it kind?
It kind of like a salon suitetype model, or is that?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
It is.
It is you know.
I mean to really know about OlaBeautiful's journey, where it
came from, and to answer a lotof these questions.
It kind of has like a littlestory to it.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Let's hear it.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
So I know you like those.
So, believe it or not, you knowI was a stay-at-home mom.
I married a wonderful man andwe had a beautiful life.
Unfortunately, he was diagnosedwith diabetes at the age of 32.
And unfortunately it's adegenerative disease that
(03:18):
eventually started to affect hishealth overall.
And you know we tried differentconventional means.
Obviously, you know he was agreat cook.
He loved to cook, so heprepared all the meals.
Everything was very healthy andhe did what he could.
Unfortunately, it didn't workand he succumbed to it.
(03:38):
You know he passed away.
But before that happened, youknow we were put in a situation
that we put a lot of funds andmoney into his health, and not
only the conventional way butalso holistic ways as well.
I mean, we were desperate, wewanted to kind of save his life
and we, we spent a lot andunfortunately we lost a lot.
But in that process, you know,knowing the fact that I had to
(04:02):
provide for my kids, you know Ihad to move on eventually
because he wasn't going to bethere for very long.
Unfortunately, after thatdiagnosis, you know he passed
away six years.
But it wasn't something thatyou know from one day to another
, no, it was a process.
So you know we were losing apiece of him all the time, you
know.
Fortunately, you know, his bodysuccumbed to all the you know
(04:24):
conditions and the medicine andthe side effects, unfortunately,
of all this medicine.
But cognitively he was still abrilliant man and he was able to
still work from home, remotely,and provide for the family, and
it gave me the ability to kindof realize I have to do
something.
What can I do?
I can't afford to, you know, goback into the corporate world.
(04:45):
I was an accountant, you know,but I wanted to be with my
children.
I was a late in life mom andyou know I had my son when I was
40.
I had my daughter when I was 42.
So I didn't want to be a nineto five, but I still had to
provide and I was, as I wasaging, I was more interested in
skincare and treatments and onceI realized that it's a
(05:05):
profession that not only doesn'trequire a lot of education
thank goodness or time, you know, it's something that a person
can do independently eventually,and go on their own, you know,
make as much as they want, do somany different aspects to skin
care.
And I decided to get into thatbusiness and thankfully he was
(05:26):
healthy enough to still providefor the family and give me that
opportunity to start my business.
So, you know, I eventually wentto school.
I worked for someone for likesix months and you know, the
need to provide just made me doeverything at an accelerated
rate.
You know.
Know, just take the leap whereyou know it's pretty terrifying,
(05:49):
but you know I didn't reallyhave a lot of time.
So within six months I rentedout a room in a nail salon
within the same building.
It's a cute little nail salonand again, the need I was doing
well and I was pleased.
You know, I'm helping people.
You know, not only am Iproviding for my family but I'm
also doing something for someonethat affects them in so many
(06:11):
ways, and that's a differenttopic we can get into later.
But you know, the bottom lineis that it's something that I
was very happy with and I knewthat I can really grow and do a
lot of really good things withit.
But I couldn't do it in a littletiny room.
So, again, only six months whenthis suite became available.
It was a lot because it wasjust me and I was just building
(06:33):
up my clientele.
So I took the leap of faithbecause it was available.
The building is so beautifulthat there is no availability,
so I really wanted to stay hereand I just took the leap of
faith and thankfully, thecommunity and my clients you
know they love me so much thatthey came in here and used.
(06:57):
I was the first person here, soI was the only one.
I didn't have any tenants, itwas me.
I only started with my roomready.
This entire place was empty.
I know that's crazy.
The bathroom was good, it wasclean, but the entire place was
empty other than my room and myclients were completely content
with that.
But I was able to get my firsttenant.
You know he's a massagetherapist, joshua Walder.
(07:19):
He's amazing and you know.
Through that I was able to getother tenants and then, once it
kind of helped, it relieved someof that financial burden of
paying for the place myself.
I was able to reinvest it intoother things like making and
growing my own skincare, whichit really completely changed my
(07:39):
business and my life.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Skincare products.
Yes, yes, okay, yes, yes, gotit.
So you mentioned, so OlaBeautiful.
Do all the businesses workunder that, under the name Ola
Beautiful, or is thatspecifically for your skincare?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
No, that is the name of the suites.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You know it's.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Ola Beautiful, but they have their names
individually on their doors withtheir businesses or license
information.
They have to.
You know it's like a salonsuite type thing but within you
know Ola Beautiful, which is mybusiness.
You know my skin care isbeautiful skin by HB.
(08:24):
OK so Go ahead, sorry, no,you're good to go.
Ok, it's something that youknow.
Out of course, out of need, Ialways had to scale the business
.
So once I got all the tenantsin here and everything was great
, you know, some, you know, helpme with the rent, pay the rent.
Obviously I needed to providemore.
So I'm always looking for waysto scale and you know the root
(08:46):
to that is always need.
So I decided that once I was inschool and I realized all the
chemicals that were used inskincare products, especially
professional brands.
It's a little scary what's inthere.
You know there's a lot of mythsabout that and that's one of
the questions we'll tap intolater.
But you know it's somethingthat I realized that once I
(09:06):
graduated I definitely didn'twant any professional
conventional products.
I wanted to do something thatwas organic and you know I
didn't want to do any organic.
I wanted to do maybe an FDAcertified organic, you know,
just to verify that it is.
But you know, with time Irealized that as long as it's
mass produced, it's really notwhat you really think it is and
(09:28):
it's mainly all water.
And even though, if it'sorganic, you know the chemicals
are made, the alcohol is madeorganically and, yes, everything
is a chemical.
But there's a differencebetween a natural chemical and a
synthetic chemical.
A natural chemical you can findin, you know, fruits and
vegetables.
You know that's where we get.
You know our nutrients well.
(09:48):
The skin is an organ, so italso responds to real nutrients
and you get more nutrients andnatural products than you do in
a synthetically made product.
That's mainly all.
Water, you know, has alcohol andsodium just to stabilize the
water, to make sure that there'sno bacteria, and there's a lot
(10:10):
of things that has to do withjust because there's water in
there.
There's chemicals in there justto make water thick.
There's chemicals in there tomake it a certain color.
There's chemicals in there tobind different ingredients in
there and then there's chemicalsto preserve it.
A lot of these chemicals arefound in plastic and cleansing
detergents.
It's not something that youreally want in your body and,
(10:34):
like you said, everybody isstarting to become more aware of
their health, especially as weget older.
I know that I have.
You know, losing my husbandmade me realize that.
You know I have two childrenthat kind of depend on me and I
need to be here for them as longas possible.
So you know, I definitely youknow have taken more of a
stronger approach to holistichealth overall, because it's
(10:57):
more than just you know the skin, you know it's the body, it's
the food that you eat, it's thatexercise that you get so all of
it so Idecided to.
Um, you know, instead of usingan organic line, even though it
was organic and it was certified, it was still cheaply made.
You know, they focus more onthe marketing and the containers
(11:19):
than what's really in there.
Honestly, 80% is water.
It's crazy.
So I decided that, you know,this can't be that hard.
You know there has to be, youknow, a holistic ingredient to
kind of give me the same effect.
So I started to research theskin a little bit more.
You know a holistic ingredientto kind of give me the same
effect.
So I started to research theskin a little bit more.
You know, in school it's ageneral topic that we cover.
(11:40):
You don't really cover, like,the skin and and the layers and
the you know components of it,how it functions and if it is,
it's very brief, you know, andthey definitely do not cover
anything holistic.
Everything is geared towards,you know, one side.
So I decided that, you know I,they definitely do not cover
anything holistic.
Everything is geared towards,you know, one side.
So I decided that, you know, Iwanted to try a different side,
a side that I know that wouldhelp me, you know, continue my
(12:00):
family's health, and decided togo completely a holistic,
natural approach which is realingredients.
So after doing research, youknow, I realized that, believe
it or not, the most importantthing for the skin is oil.
People don't realize it, butyou know we're made in a certain
(12:23):
way that our body gives us whatwe need and provides, and
there's sebaceous glandsunderneath our pores producing
oil for so many reasons, for somany purposes.
So if we're producing oil forthe skin, why are we using
everything?
Water, alcohol and sodium?
That's like, you know, anopposite of that.
So once you realize that theskin needs oil, then you find
out out of all the oils, youknow which oil is the best.
(12:46):
And through that journey, youknow, I found that there's
different types of, you know,oil categories.
There's a dry oil and there's awet oil.
You know a wet oil is an oilthat the molecular size of the
ingredient is so big it can'tpenetrate the pores.
So either it, you know,suffocates it completely because
there's no way for it to go, orit takes a very long time to
(13:09):
penetrate.
And when you deprive the skinof oxygen, because the lungs and
the skin are the only two waysto receive atmospheric oxygen
and the oxygen feeds the cellsthat are right underneath your
skin.
You know, moisture goes in andout of the body.
So when you're using petroleumjelly and all these things that
are actually, you know, blockingthe skin from doing these
(13:30):
things, it starts to, you know,malfunction and a lot of the
signs are.
It starts to, you know,malfunction and a lot of the
signs are like dryness and, youknow, age spots, and you know a
lot of different issues.
So I decided to try to focus myline on the number one thing
that we need is oil, and out ofall the oils, you know, the dry
(13:52):
oils are the oils that the sizeis so small, they're easily, you
know, penetrated into the skinand absorbed into the
bloodstream, you know.
So.
You know it's a really healthy,you know, ingredient and out of
all the oils that areconsidered dry oils, hemp oil is
the best oils hemp oil is thebest.
You know jojoba oil is also themolecular size more compatible
(14:15):
to our natural oils, but itdoesn't have the same amount of
benefits and ingredients.
You know I recently came outwith a skincare, holistic
skincare magazine and thefeature product is hemp.
It's amazing, all the nutrientsthat are in there that the skin
responds to.
So people that have no issueswith their skin they can get
(14:40):
away with just using, you know,regular synthetic or you know
over-the-counter organicingredients that really have no
effect and then the activeingredient is probably so strong
that it's you know it can't be100 good for you.
So to have that option, to usesomething natural instead, tends
(15:00):
to be better and sometimes,unfortunately, the industry is
not geared to, you know, tryingto let you know that you can use
natural remedies to take careof yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
The industry is geared towards profit, as with
most industries.
So there's so much.
It's just like with food right,you go out, and it is
incredibly difficult nowadays togo out and shop and get pure
products, naturally sourcedproducts.
The way they package things inthe grocery, like it gives the
(15:31):
appearance that it's healthy,but then when you actually look
into what what's in it, it's along list of ingredients, some
of them you've never even heardof.
You don't know if it's good orbad, and you're kind of in this
position where you just kind ofput things in your body that
aren't really good for you.
That's why I think it'sinteresting what's going on with
RFK coming into office and thenew administration.
Just then you can say what youwill about the guy.
(15:51):
A lot of people think he's aquack, think he's crazy.
A lot of people are happy aboutwhat he's doing.
But just starting theconversation about this, just
bringing awareness around whatwe're putting on our body and
you mentioned diabetes, it'sbecome a huge epidemic in the
country Just having thatconversation is starting to
change the narrative, becauseour healthcare system is it's
broken, but it can't be fixedfrom the top down.
(16:16):
You have to.
You have to fix the underlyingissue, and the underlying issue
is the health of the health ofpeople right what we're putting
on our bodies, how we're takingcare of ourselves.
And unfortunately, we live inan instant gratification society
and there's a quick fix pillfor everything and people just
don't take care of themselves.
We put a lot of crap in ourbodies.
We don't exercise, we don'tdo't do healthy things.
Of course we're going to have ahealthcare epidemic.
So, I think just talking aboutthis stuff and raising awareness
(16:39):
is changing the narrative andis moving things in a positive
direction.
Absolutely.
I did want to say, when itcomes to skincare, I'm a guy.
I don't really focus too muchon skincare.
If not for my wife, I wouldn'tput anything.
If she gives me like a cream,like here, put this on your face
, I'm like all right.
Whatever I just put on my face,You're very normal, typical guy
(17:00):
.
Yeah, it's a typical guy thing,but obviously it's just as
important for men as it is forwomen.
Right, we're all, we all haveour skin.
What, what, what piece ofadvice would you give to
somebody like me Right, you'rerunning the bill 45 year old guy
who's starting to see thewrinkles coming in and starting
to see these things setting inand I'm like, whatever you know,
(17:21):
I'm just aging.
What piece of advice would yougive me to start taking care of
my skin in a more effective way?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Right, right.
Well, you know creating aroutine but, believe it or not,
the routine doesn't have to beenormous.
You know more doesn't equalbetter, but you still need a
routine and, believe it or not,you know I know that guys work
out and stuff like that.
You know you should definitelybathe, you know with.
You know soap, you know daily.
But you know you can refreshwith water.
(17:49):
You can get in the shower andyou can refresh, maybe clean
your privates and everything,but you don't really need to use
soap several times a day.
What you're actually doing isstripping your own natural oils
are there to hydrate your skin.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Probably drying the skin by doing that a lot?
Huh, probably drying the skinout by applying too much soap,
exactly, I can imagine, like theover-the-counter soaps that you
got are probably filled with abunch of crap, right, I?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
can imagine, like the over-the-counter soaps that you
got to probably fill with abunch of crap, right, right,
right.
And you need to moisturize.
You know what you take awaybecause there's going to be a
little bit.
You have to replenish and youknow again, hemp oil is amazing.
It's for all skin types, it's.
You know you need oil.
So, honestly, there's very fewproducts that you need because
it has everything that all theseother products that are going
to give you a little bit of this, it has everything.
(18:34):
So you really just only need alittle bit.
You know, a couple of dropsreally goes a long way.
I have before and afterpictures of my skin that was
burned over here.
You don't see any marks oranything like that, but I have a
date where it clearly says likeon the 18th of january I had
burns all along here and forthem to be completely gone in a
(18:57):
month is pretty special it's aregular skin care would not be
able to do that.
So it, you know it gave the skinall the nutrients that it needs
to to to heal.
So for a guy, you know, a niceoil.
But everybody, no matter whoyou are the simplest thing that
you can do and this is my littleadvice is that you know
(19:17):
different estheticians anddermatologists.
We can have differentapproaches to a problem or to
skin, but we're all on the samepage on how simple and how
important but effective sunblockis, and you know especially the
guys that are out there golfingand fishing and stuff.
I love the voting life too, butyou really have to protect your
skin by wearing sunblock andthat really does make a
(19:39):
difference in terms of, you know, aging.
But again, now you're dealingwith, you know, a healthier
version compared to one that youknow is probably not as healthy
, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, speaking of hemp oil, I got to give a shout
out to a good friend of mine,marilisa Lawless, with Hemp Del
Sol.
We actually do a podcasttogether and and goodness is
cannabis.
Hemp is such an amazing plant.
It really is and it's so.
it's such a travesty that it wasdemonized to the extent that
was back in the sixties andsevents, with this whole war on
(20:14):
war on drugs and all of that itis a tobacco company, wasn't
going to make any money yeah, Imean, it's such such an amazing
plant and such an amazing tooland I just I see moving forward
wonderful things happening inthat space as it becomes more
mainstream and more legal Alsowith like psychedelics and
things like that.
I'm fascinated by that as well.
(20:35):
I see that that becoming a bigpart of our society moving
forward.
It's really really fascinatingto get into this stuff for sure.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Go ahead.
No no, no, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, no, after you, jackie, please.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Thank you very much.
Well, just tapping on to likethe hemp, I have a list of all
the like vitamins and nutrientsthat are in here that you can
buy out in the market that haslike lactic acid in there, which
is a synthetic version, whichwhen you're dealing with
(21:13):
synthetics, there's always goingto be a side effect to that
active ingredient.
Or you can use something likeyogurt, which is 100% natural
and unless you have an allergicreaction to it, which is
unlikely, very, very few I meanit's way more healthy, it's way
more effective.
Not only are you putting lacticacid, but all the other
vitamins and nutrients that youcan find in a product like that.
(21:35):
Same thing with sugar that's anatural glycolic acid.
It's more healthy and effectivethan something that's said a
little while ago in terms of youknow, you know the market and
everybody just starting torealize.
You know that their health isimperative and they need to do
(21:56):
something about it and they'rebecoming more aware.
I feel that a lot of the peopledon't know what it is to be
healthy and how the simplestthings really affect them.
You know, like the skin, peopleprobably look at it in such a
superficial manner that you knowthey just really don't look
skin deep, but they don'trealize how complex it is and
(22:18):
how it's vital to life.
I mean, without it, you know,we would not be able to sustain
anything.
You know it's a vital organ,it's the biggest organ.
Yeah, exactly, it's the biggestorgan and it's the most
neglected.
So, yeah, exactly, it's thebiggest organ and it's the most
neglected and it is, it could be, the most effective because
it's, you know, it's the largestorgan.
That you say and you know, notonly does it matter, like the
(22:39):
products, it's just it's like amassage, it's, you know,
repetitive and you know, themore that you massage it in, not
only does it go in deeper, butyou're stimulating the blood and
(23:01):
you're, you know it becomeslike a health aspect because it
boosts your immune system.
I mean, there's just so manydifferent things.
When you boost your immunesystem, you also boost the
immune system of the skin.
People don't realize that a lotof these chemicals that they're
using are actually bringing downthe immunities of the skin and
if they have like a cut andeverything, they're susceptible
to infections easier than otherpeople that have healthy skin.
So it really does matter andwhat I feel is that we're
(23:26):
inundated with chemicals.
It's honestly in the air, inthe water that we drink, the
things that we touch, you know,the food that we eat, even
organic, like you say.
You know there's something inthere, you know, and that it's
not enough, and then wewillingly put it on our body.
And it's just education, andyou know, I've helped so many
(23:48):
people who have had reallyhealth issues with their skin to
the point where their skin isclear, their health is better,
because a holistic approach isyou know not, you know only
natural skincare being appliedto the skin.
It's just overall, though,considering the person as a
whole.
You know their, you know theirexercise and how exercise
increases oxygen.
Obviously it's going to helpyou internally, right?
(24:09):
You know their, you know theirexercise and how exercise
increases oxygen.
Obviously it's going to helpyou internally, right?
You know it's going to keepyour muscles intact and the more
that your body has muscles, thehealthier you're going to be,
because it's going to bring upyour immune system.
So it also increases the oxygenflow, which, you know, when
you're pumping yourselves withoxygen, it's like the most
amazing thing that you can dofor it, because without oxygen
(24:30):
they'll start to oxidize.
So you know exercise is vitalbecause it does affect the
health of the skin as well.
As you know, it has a mentalhealth aspect to it.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
You know a lot of people that have so huge I know
exercise for me like.
I started running about a yearand a half ago and unfortunately
, it's wearing down my body andI love it.
It's such a great outlet for meand it really makes me feel
amazing, and I hurt myself theother day and I want to get back
out there, but I also hurtmyself, so it actually opened up
(25:03):
the window into another part ofme that I need to work on,
which is my flexibility, and thereason why I kept getting hurt
running was because I wasn'tstretching enough, which is my
flexibility, and the reason whyI kept getting hurt running was
because I wasn't stretchingenough.
So this last little bout I hadwith that opened me up to doing
that, and then, as I get older,muscle mass exercising with
weights is so important, so I'vebeen trying to do more of that.
I think the problem, though,that a lot of people have in our
(25:24):
society is twofold right, it'snot that people aren't aware I
don't want to use that wordloosely.
It's not that they don'trealize that you need to
exercise, you need to eat, right, like all these things.
At a fundamental level, mostpeople acknowledge the fact that
you need to do these things tobe healthy.
It's just that it's not easy todo all this right.
(25:45):
It requires you to do, tocreate habits, routines and go
through all the and it's not.
It's not hard when you do it uh, when you break it down into
little pieces.
But creating these routines andthese habits and doing it
consistently over a long periodof time can be challenging for
people, especially when we livein an instant gratification,
quick, quick fix society, whenthere's a pill for everything,
(26:07):
right?
it's like why do I?
Why would I go do all this workon myself?
I could just take this pill andI'll be fine.
And we fall into old habitsquickly and we're always kind of
chasing comfortability.
The older I get, the more Irealize that I need to lean into
the uncomfortability and I needto step into that to get better
.
That's where the true growthcomes from.
So, yeah, I think it just goesback to, like you said,
(26:30):
education, right, starting froma very, very early age, like
kids in school.
I think the school system, thecurriculum, should be altered in
a meaningful way to focus a lotmore on physical health, mental
wellness right?
Kids should be like doingmeditation practice in school,
breath work right Kids should bedoing, not just have one little
period for physical educationshould be integrated even more.
(26:52):
These things are so, soimportant and they're often
overlooked.
And then by the time you get tobe older, you're already set,
you already got these programsrunning.
It becomes that much moredifficult to overcome it.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yeah, yes, yeah, you definitely have to start you
know at an early age, becausethat's when you create your
habits.
You know, I, the people that Inormally come across, the ones
that you know are consistentwith you, know their health and
their routine are.
Those are the ones that kind ofalways did it, the ones that
kind of do it, you know,occasionally, or started late in
life.
It's very hard to maintain it,you know, because we're always
(27:24):
challenged with everyday.
You know circumstances and youknow hardships and it's easy to
just say, you know I'm not goingto.
You know, work out today.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
