As the holiday season ramps up and the end of another year is within sight, now’s the perfect time to reflect back on things to be thankful for, big or small. As the owner of a small business and in no particular order, here are 4 things that I am grateful for and that do, in turn, make my day.:
1. Access to good sunscreen. I know, it’s an odd thing to be thankful for, but it’s no secret that we are sunscreen fanatics here, so when the US Senate recently passed the Sunscreen Innovation Bill to expedite the approval of new and effective sunscreen filters, we cheered! As the rate of skin cancer goes up, effective broad spectrum sunscreen products like Anthelios should be available everywhere and to everyone.
2. Great customers. We hear from many customers every day by telephone and email, and if there is one word that can describe them all, it’s kind. We know how lucky we are when our customers make us feel good about what we do, and we hope in turn that we’ve helped them as well.
3. Gentle retinal serum. We’ve long extolled the virtues of retinoids, but as we get older (as much as we hate to admit it), a gentle retinal serum is like a gift to our skin. Since day 1, we’ve been completely enamored with Apothekari’s A is for Anti-Aging Retinal Serum. No tingling, no peeling, no irritation, just gentle yet effective skin-brightening and photo-aging protection.
4, Health. In a year of challenges, I’m thankful that the ones I care most about are healthy or are on the mend. It’s true what they say: You can’t put a price on good health.
Although you don’t need an excuse to get together with friends and family, the holidays are certainly a good reason. Happy Thanksgiving, and let the festivities begin!
