Replenish Retreat Is The Reset You Deserve

Eco Tips, Skin Care, Travel

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it’s easy to lose sight of ourselves, feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and weighed down by the demands of daily life. We find ourselves constantly juggling responsibilities, battling stress, and feeling disconnected from our own inner peace.

But what if there was a sanctuary—a place where you could pause, breathe, and reconnect with your true essence?

Picture yourself on the transformative wellness retreat, where every moment is an invitation to rediscover and embrace a life of balance and harmony. Imagine yourself surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature, enveloped in the gentle embrace of the breeze, and guided by the wisdom of experienced mentors.

Here, we weave together the ancient practices of meditation, breath work, and personalized Eastern skin wellness, creating a holistic journey that nourishes your mind, body, and soul. Through daily workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions, you’ll uncover the limiting beliefs and conditioning that have held you back, and emerge with a newfound sense of confidence and clarity.

But perhaps the most powerful aspect of our retreat is the sense of community—together, we’ll create a space grounded in authentic energy and potential, where you can let go of distractions and chaos, and embrace a life of purpose and fulfillment.

Replenish Retreat is more than just a getaway—it’s a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Through daily presence, you’ll step into a life of confidence, clarity, and purpose. And with the unwavering support of your fellow participants, you’ll forge deep connections and cultivate a sense of belonging that lasts long after the experience ends.

Awaken Your Skin: Daily Skincare Rituals for Holistic Wellness

At the Replenish Retreat, we believe that true beauty starts from within. That’s why we’ve curated a daily skincare regimen that goes beyond surface-level beauty to nourish your skin from the inside out. Our approach is rooted in the wisdom of nature, and we believe in harnessing the power of natural ingredients to awaken the cells in your skin and body.

Skin Mimicking the Cycles of Nature:

Just as the seasons change, so too does our skin. Throughout the year, our skin experiences different cycles of renewal and regeneration, influenced by factors such as weather, diet, and lifestyle. At the Replenish Retreat, we teach you how to tune into these natural cycles and adjust your skincare routine accordingly. By mimicking the rhythms of nature, you can optimize your skin’s health and vitality, ensuring that it stays radiant and youthful all year round.

Daily and Weekly Rituals:

Our daily skincare rituals are designed to be simple, yet effective, taking less than 10 minutes out of your day. We start with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities and prepare the skin for the day ahead. Next, we apply a nourishing serum infused with potent botanical extracts to hydrate and revitalize the skin. Finally, we finish with a lightweight moisturizer to lock in moisture and protect against environmental stressors.

In addition to our daily rituals, we also incorporate weekly treatments to further enhance your skin’s health and vitality. These treatments may include exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, masks to nourish and detoxify the skin, and massage techniques to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage. By incorporating these rituals into your routine, you can awaken the cells in your skin and body, revealing a complexion that is radiant, youthful, and glowing with vitality.

Empowering You to Shine:

At the Replenish Retreat, we believe that skincare is more than just a routine—it’s a ritual of self-love and self-care. Our goal is to empower you to embrace your natural beauty and shine from the inside out. Through our daily skincare practices, we teach you how to honor your skin’s unique needs and cultivate a deep sense of connection with yourself and the world around you.

So whether you’re looking to revitalize tired skin, combat signs of aging, or simply pamper yourself with a little self-care, our skincare rituals are here to support you on your journey to holistic wellness. Awaken the cells in your skin and body, and let your inner radiance shine bright for all the world to see.

Book Your Retreat Today:

Ready to embark on this transformative journey? Take the first step towards a life filled with vitality, purpose, and joy. Your true work in life is to keep lifting your own frequency, because everything in life is a result of the vibration YOU are on. We all have natural fears, frustrations and wounds. We can take these and use their energy to reclaim ourselves, heal and attract what we want and need in our lives. Are you ready to unlock your highest potential?

Give yourself the gift of time and space in nature.

SIERRA & WILL’S FOREST FAIRYTALE✨ When Sierra SIERRA & WILL’S FOREST FAIRYTALE✨

When Sierra told me she wanted makeup that could withstand happy tears beneath the forest canopy, I knew exactly what she needed. We created a luminous look for her fair skin (no cakey orange bronzer here!) and those soft waves she dreamed of for her curls by the talented @hairstyling_by_tay

And let’s not forget Will—because grooms deserve that moment of presence too. Hand massage, cuticle care, and subtle skin perfecting had him relaxed and radiant for their joyful, inclusive celebration with a slightly structured vibe.

This is why I do what I do. Not just applying makeup and perfecting skin, but creating moments of calm in the cabin while you prepare to celebrate with your community. 

Camp Colton magic with these two was everything—moody spring forest vibes, then Katie capturing the glowy evening light, and makeup that lasted from “I do” to the afterparty.

Your wedding day beauty should feel as authentic as your love story. Oregon couples—ready to glow on your day? The calendar for 2025 is almost full and 2026 is filling up fast!

The most powerful skincare ingredient? Presence. The most powerful skincare ingredient? Presence. 

This morning, as I was applying my facial oil, I caught myself going through the motions while my mind raced ahead to today's priorities.

I stopped. Took a deep breath. And started again—this time feeling the oil warm between my fingertips, noticing how my skin drank it in, appreciating the subtle scent of Argan & Palma Rosa.

Those 90 seconds of genuine presence changed everything about the rest of my day.

After 25 years in beauty, I've realized something profound: these rituals aren't just about the products or even the results—they're rare moments when we have permission to truly connect with ourselves.

We live in a world that constantly pulls our attention outward. Your beauty ritual might be the only time today where you're fully allowed to focus inward.

You deserve those moments of self-connection.
Not because they'll make your skin glow (though they will). Not because they're efficient (they often aren't). But because in those quiet moments of presence, you remember who you are beneath all the roles you play and expectations you carry.

How can you transform one of your daily beauty rituals into a moment of genuine presence today? I'd love to hear in the comments below.

I don't just apply makeup—I create transformativ I don't just apply makeup—I create transformative beauty experiences by blending cutting-edge Western science with ancient Eastern wisdom.

My journey has taken me beyond standard beauty training into the depths of skin physiology, advanced formulation chemistry, AND the time-honored Eastern principles that view beauty as a reflection of inner harmony.

This unique perspective allows me to see what others miss: the connections between your skin's needs, your personal energy, and the perfect techniques to enhance YOUR natural radiance.

Whether you're preparing for your wedding day, updating your professional image, or seeking a skincare revamp—I bring a level of expertise that addresses both the visible AND invisible aspects of beauty.

At Kelli Thomsen Beauty, we don't panic about skin issues—we solve them! Whether you're dealing with stress breakouts, unexpected redness, or just want to feel confident without heavy makeup, our proactive approach ensures your natural beauty shines through for your entire event.

Those pips original doughnuts weren't just a sweet treat for the reception—they represent something we can all understand: the balance between wedding indulgences and skin health! Real talk: enjoyment & stress can both trigger skin inflammation, breakouts, and sensitivity before your big day.

That's where our skincare journey began - Hannah and I worked through 3 Custom Dermaplane Facials w/ LED light therapy and my signature trifecta treatment. We addressed active breakouts, calmed inflammation, and created a customized routine that allowed her skin to THRIVE despite pre-wedding stress.

After 2 detailed trials addressing her specific concerns, Hannah's complexion was absolutely radiant come July—ready for the minimal, airbrush application that Yolianna executed perfectly. Her gorgeous updo by Marissa was elegant and captured so beautifully by @indwellweddings.

Remember: skin concerns are normal, especially during high-stress planning periods. Instead of covering them up, let's work together to address them at the source so you can enjoy BOTH the doughnuts AND flawless skin!

Our team collaborates seamlessly with your entire vendor squad (see this dream team tagged below!) to create a relaxed timeline dedicated entirely to YOUR vision as a couple.

Some moments take your breath away. Lane + Mason’s wedding day was one of those days where everything felt like it was meant to be. The Columbia River Gorge provided the perfect backdrop—crisp October air, golden light filtering through the trees, and that magical feeling of fall wrapping everyone in its embrace.

Their first look? Absolutely unforgettable. I couldn’t help myself—I snuck into the trees to witness the moment Mason turned around to see Lane for the first time. His face lit up with pure joy, and Lane’s excitement was written all over her glowing smile (which, yes, we made sure stayed flawless with a natural, radiant look!). It was one of those moments where time seemed to stand still, and I felt so honored to be part of it.

This day came together thanks to an incredible team of vendors who poured their hearts into every detail:
@hostedby.co - planning and design
@calebgaskinsphoto - photographer 
@foraged_blooms florals 
@kellithomsen - beauty 
@bluewaveband -  music 
@whitepepperpdx - catering 
@blossom.baking’s - cake 
@ardeneventcollective - rentals
@bbjlatavola - linens 
@thegriffinhouse - wedding venue 

When it comes to makeup and hair, my goal is always simple: I want you to feel like YOU—radiant, confident, and ready for every moment of your day. For Lane, we focused on enhancing her natural beauty with clean products that ensured her look stayed fresh from their emotional first look to dancing the night away.

If you’re planning your wedding and dreaming of a day where every detail feels intentional, let’s talk about how we can create a look that makes you feel beautiful inside and out. Your love story deserves nothing less than magic.
