It's Birthday Season & Prom Reboot recap

Celebrating all Month Long! Here's whats going up with us!

This Episode of Random Ish w Sonja

Courtney Holmes, Milford Med Spa

This episode of Random Ish, we’re out speaking with the Owner and Nurse Practitioner, Courtney Holmes.

Like many during the pandemic, Courtney’s life changed. We delve into her story. She went from being a skilled, very comfortable geriatric nurse to an award-winning spa owner. During the pandemic, we all had to hit pause on things we enjoyed doing in life. One of the activities she enjoyed was getting beauty treatments. With the lockdown, how would she continue? She gained the knowledge to do the treatments on herself and then on others, as they saw her results. Boss move. After all, she is a nurse and knows the body. Plus, she got a life-giving feeling when helping others feel more beautiful at the first place that hired her. She also has a full circle moment that you’ll find out about when you watch.

Courtney Holmes & Sonja at Award-winning Milford Med Spa, 99 Cherry St in Milford.

Hey there!

You’re reading Manifest Beauty — a newsletter about living life on your terms and leaving beauty where ever you go. Every issue brings insights or stories, music and interviews with people building life on their own terms — intentionally despite the chaos or lack of support.

Faith, Trust & Fun.

Insights: Faith & Trust, we hear about…what about fun?

One of the missions we have here at Manifest Beauty is to be an example of a person who is having fun. A person who is manifesting through fun. Not getting drunk and staying out all night, although that is fun every once in a while, too! Btw, we still have our DJ business if you need a fun loving professional DJ corporate parties, team building, weddings, anniversaries birthdays etc. We mean personal, only you know how much happiness or contentment it brings to your heart, fun, whatever that is.

We believe in embodying and being a human, manifesting life, rather than just for “things.” I think it enhances your life to feel that connection to that which is bigger than you, but is you.

This doesn’t mean life won’t be without its challenges. However, I notice a difference when I am tuned in and going through life, life’n Or, when I have temporarily forgotten.

When I have forgotten, life feels very hard. I feel the road rage, and the world events become crystal clear in my daily life. Stress, the “People are crazy!” comments come out of my mouth etc. It just becomes what folks call “everyday life.”

The past year, I went through the cycle again. This was a very important manifestation, our home. This latest Tyler Perry movie “Straw” hit a little too close to home for me! I have been on a personal mission to be a safe place for my daughter and her kids to nurture and be there as a guide to help them navigate the slippery slope of coming out of an abusive situation. I did it.

When I made a decision that they would come first, it caused a ripple in a lot of the projects I had previously been working on. One of the manifestations I wanted to retain was my location. I knew I lived in a good school district and wanted the kids to attend. However, I also knew we couldn’t stay in my one-bedroom; they came to for safety.

2024 was spectacular in good and confusing ways. The challenges, loss of work, illness, arguments, and kids acting out. I mean, it was stressful!!!

But I kept at the only things I know that help me stabilize.

Faith was there, and I kept showing up every day. Trust was there, when I didn’t understand what was happening, when certain things left, I trusted that I was in divine timing. But the part we are here to talk about? I also had fun. That clean, joy in your heart, I felt it, fun.

So, if you’re going through some things right now, and who’s not? Make sure you take out some time, the moment you feel you should, take that time to have a little fun with yourself. It just may be the catalyst you need to align with your already positive momentum.

Fun is an excellent way to add momentum, and if you’re not too stuck in negative vibes, it’s a great way to raise or change your vibration.

New Book

Outsmart Your Inner Op: The Midlife Millionaire’s Playbook

A couple of months ago, I saw this post from a woman who used ChatGPT to ask a question: if the devil wanted to stop a woman in her tracks, what would he do?

I thought that was a very insightful question to ask, but giving all the power to the devil when it’s usually us stopping us.

Inspiration! So the workbook was born. We have covered in Manifest beauty books that we are all hearing some “voice” one that sucks and critiques and one that encourgages. I felt some resonance with creating something interactive that I can use when I am slipping, or that I can share.

This book will surprise you with the truth of what you’re doing to yourself. What we say is being humble or just making sure…may be hurting you. Also, it serves as a vision board of sorts, there is space for you to flesh out your best intentions for your life.

Regain your power and claim the life you co-created with Source through your preferences.

1 on 1 consults with a personal look into how you are manifesting and tools to change your energy. Or boosts of energy or confidence before a big meeting or test. Book on ManifestBeautyshop.com

Prom Reboot & Manifest Your Beauty Fest ‘25

A time was had at Prom Reboot! Despite the world going crazy, a restaurant 3 blocks away on the same street, having a Prom 2.0 we had a great time!!! Congrats go to our King and Queen of the Prom Tom and Iecha Clemmens! Picture below. Starting to gather the energy for this year’s fest. We have options, and I want to hear from you. We have the green in Milford Reserved for Oct 11. I heard there have been many changes to events in the city, and I was told there is another location where I would have way fewer headaches trying to get the logistics together. Lisbon Landing is the suggested place. The city wants to crack down on food trucks by the green and are now charging for services. I was told a location where I wouldn’t have to worry about bathrooms, I can have food trucks on site, and parking. Plus, there is cover. It all sounds good.

Looking for help this year as I would like to start molding this into the vision I first saw in my mind, music, speakers, and people getting inspired.

If you know some folks who are on this path, send em my way! [email protected]

What will you begin to manifest today?
