Hello summer! June is a month that always passes by so quickly. My commitment to my family this summer is to take a deep breath and take my time to enjoy each others company.
This June, my youngest son, Silas, turns 21! How could that be? As a I reflect on 21 years, I remember all of the ups and downs. I always remember celebrating Silas' birthday during the time that school would be coming to a close for the school year. It was always a stressful time when the kids got out of school for the summer. Finding a work-life-harmony was always very difficult for me. Over the years, I have witnessed our Allure moms struggle in the same way with their children of different ages ranging from toddlers to college graduates!
Hair stylist and fashion icon, Irida, is celebrating her 10 year anniversary with Allure. When she came to this country from Albania, her children were very young. Her oldest son, Klei, is off to college this year to UMASS Amherst to study pre-med. This will be a transition for their house because Klei loves to cook and make dinner for his family. From my own experience with my son who lived at college, I know that Irida will look forward to the special visits when he comes home.
As New Englanders we can all agree that the summer season always pass by too quickly. It is meant to be enjoyed by family, friends, good weather, memories and so much more. My wish is for you all to kick back, grab a cold drink and soak up the sun (don't forget your sunscreen).
I am also excited to share our Father's Day Special that can be scheduled in the month of June or prepared as a gift card!
We hope to see you soon.
Sincerely,
Sandra Ishmael
