We were delighted to welcome Rhona Gillmore, a fellow Soroptimist from Taunton, talking to us about ‘Beauty through health’ at our Speaker and Supper Meeting on 13th July.
She shared with us her experience as a health and beauty therapist having been in the industry for almost 50 years, and almost 50 years as a Soroptimist.
Her life in this industry started as far back in her early teen years after experiencing her father’s challenges trying to overcome arthritis; she then started reading about beauty therapy. Rhona went on to train in, what was then considered a very new profession, and took the brave step to start her own business.
She explained the key to having a healthy body is knowing and understanding your inner body – your gut. We all have the same skin but it is up to us how we treat it. This may be overcome if we adhere to an 8-point action plan:
Genetics, diet, stress, hormones, dehydration, poor circulation, purchasing the wrong products, the environment. In other words, education and awareness of your body makes you feel healthy.
Sue P kindly ‘volunteered’ to help demonstrate some of these points by allowing Rhona to show us the importance of using colours in the form of makeup, style and by using the appropriate colours to enhance our appearance.
With our heads full of amazing beauty tips we all received a goodie bag full of tantalising items to try at home. Thank you Rhona for inspiring us to look after ourselves better.
