Finding Beauty in Boredom with Jasmine Black

Finding Beauty in Boredom with Jasmine Black
Jasmine Black, a.k.a. @dietmtndewy, is a licensed esthetician and owner of @minebeauty and @esthibestihotline who’s in the habit of keeping her clients idle, doing something for themselves to feel refreshed and recharged. But how does she unwind when she’s not helping others? Some nightly gua sha, a Reese Witherspoon book club pick, and staying mindfully present.
