In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it’s easy to lose sight of ourselves. We feel overwhelmed and disconnected. Daily demands weigh us down. Moreover, we constantly juggle responsibilities and battle stress. As a result, we lose touch with our inner peace.

Daily Skincare Rituals for Holistic Wellness

Om Beauty Oil by Kelli Thomsen Beauty

At Replenish Retreat, we believe true beauty starts from within. Therefore, we’ve curated a daily skincare regimen. It goes beyond surface-level beauty. Instead, it nourishes your skin from the inside out.

Skin Mimicking Nature’s Cycles

Just as seasons change, so does our skin. Throughout the year, our skin experiences renewal cycles. Weather, diet, and lifestyle influence these changes. Consequently, we teach you to tune into these natural cycles. You’ll adjust your skincare routine accordingly. By mimicking nature’s rhythms, you optimize your skin’s health. This ensures radiance and vitality all year round.

Daily and Weekly Rituals

Our daily skincare rituals are simple yet effective. They take less than 10 minutes. First, we start with a gentle cleanser. This removes impurities and prepares your skin. Next, we apply a nourishing serum infused with botanical extracts. This hydrates and revitalizes. Finally, we finish with a lightweight moisturizer. This locks in moisture and protects against environmental stress.

In addition to daily rituals, we incorporate weekly treatments. These further enhance your skin’s health. They may include exfoliation to remove dead skin cells. Moreover, masks nourish and detoxify. Massage techniques improve circulation and lymphatic drainage. By incorporating these rituals, you awaken your skin cells. As a result, you reveal a radiant, youthful, glowing complexion.

Empowering You to Shine

We believe skincare is more than a routine. It’s a ritual of self-love and self-care. Our goal is to empower you to embrace your natural beauty. Therefore, you’ll shine from the inside out. Through daily skincare practices, we teach you to honor your skin’s unique needs. Consequently, you’ll cultivate a deep connection with yourself and the world.

Whether you’re looking to revitalize tired skin or combat aging signs, our rituals support you. Similarly, if you simply want to pamper yourself, we’re here for your holistic wellness journey. Awaken your skin cells and body. Let your inner radiance shine bright.

Take the Leap

Are you ready to step into your power?

Are you ready to reclaim control of your life?

Are you ready to embrace vitality, confidence, and joy?

Your journey starts here. All you have to do is say YES to yourself. It’s time to embark on transformation. Furthermore, it’s time for self-discovery, holistic wellness, and authentic connection. We can’t wait to welcome you home.

There’s something about a Hood River wedding that There’s something about a Hood River wedding that asks you to trust the elements, and Kathleen did just that.

Golden hour light spilling across The Gorge. Soft winds that honored her delicate veil instead of fighting it. A bridal party that moved through the day with the kind of ease that only comes when everyone feels genuinely cared for.

For Kathleen’s makeup, we let her natural freckles show through because why would we cover what makes her uniquely beautiful? Warm taupes and neutral tones that enhanced rather than masked. Soft and natural individual lashes. A rosewood lip chosen specifically to complement her natural skin tone, not fight against it.

This is what happens when you choose a beauty approach that works with your skin, your features, your natural coloring. Kathleen’s makeup held beautifully through riverside portraits, emotional vows, and dancing under the twilight because it was designed for her skin, this climate, these conditions.

This is the Pacific Northwest wedding beauty we’ve spent 25+ years perfecting. Weather-tested, botanically-driven, designed to let you be fully present instead of worried about how you look.

Thank you to this exceptional vendor team who understands that true luxury is in the details, the care, and the experience!

At 50, I’m not winding down, I’m finally warmed up At 50, I’m not winding down, I’m finally warmed up! What I’m tending now? 

It’s been growing all along. After years of trial & error, I finally learned how to be still enough to enjoy it bloom - the garden, the work, the space and balance of energy. Everything around me is finally aligned. There’s this flow now where nothing is forced and everything feels organic, exactly how I approach the work I do, exactly how life is meant to feel. 

RECAP of the most important things I’ve learned: 

-you don’t need a master plan, just keep showing up for what feels true.

-build your life like a garden, one intentional choice at a time.

-some people are seasonal, others are perennial, the storms show you which is which.

-your body’s wisdom is smarter than your mind’s logic, listen to it.

-you can’t show up for others unless you’re showing up for yourself first.

-boundaries aren’t walls, they’re how you protect the energy for what truly matters.

-healing changes your taste… in people, in habits, in dreams.

-trust what lights you up, because your excitement is real data.

-you don’t have to choose between the wild & intentional, be both!

Your skin is the canvas and that’s exactly why we Your skin is the canvas and that’s exactly why we created this luminous, no-foundation look for Teal. 

When your complexion is this healthy, why cover it?

The truth about wedding day radiance? It doesn’t start in the makeup chair. It starts three months before your date—with daily hydration that plumps from within, gentle exfoliation that creates glass-smooth texture, and nervous system care that keeps stress from stealing your glow.

Because here’s what prepared skin does: Makeup melts in seamlessly. You photograph like light itself. Your look lasts through every tear, kiss, and dance floor moment without touch-up panic.

This is the difference between makeup that masks and beauty that magnifies what’s already yours.

That’s why our consultation doesn’t start with Pinterest boards—it starts with your current skincare routine. We need to know what your skin is drinking in every morning and night, because that 90-day investment is what makes the difference between makeup sitting on top of your face and a glow that comes from within.

Your wedding day radiance isn’t painted on. It’s earned through intentional care, then elevated by expert hands who know how to let your natural beauty lead. #oregonwedding #weddingbeauty

I can give you a beautiful makeup application, but I can give you a beautiful makeup application, but I can’t give you healthy skin. That partnership starts before your wedding - with hydration, consistency, and a routine that supports your nervous system as much as your microbiome. Because the most elevated beauty? It starts beneath the surface. 

The couples who photograph best aren’t the ones who wear the most makeup - they’re the ones whose skin was ready to receive it. Prepped. Hydrated. Cared for. This is where flawless begins. 

These are some of my favorite products that give incredible results, but they’re just tools - and they’re not right for everyone. What transforms skin is finding YOUR unique habits and showing up for them every single day. 

That’s what we do together in consultation - I read your skin, we talk about your life, and we create a customized routine you feel good maintaining. Consistency is everything, but it has to be built on the right foundation. 

This is how we unlock lasting radiance and find your perfect routine together. My consultations allow you to start your skincare journey with clarity, confidence, and a customized plan.

I can’t wait to share our NEW skin care, makeup & hair styling packages for our 2026 & 2027 couples soon. Imagine intentional & elemental beauty as we help you feel your best and unlock your most radiant and flawless complexion! #weddingbeauty #cleanbeauty #oregonwedding #healthyskinprep #oregonweddingmakeup #oregonmakeupartist #skinprep #skintips #weddinggoals #beauty Florals & Design: @bloomculture_co

The best part of wedding days? For me it’s not jus The best part of wedding days? For me it’s not just the beauty that surrounds me - it’s the connection. When Gina asked me for a hug today, it was everything. We had so much fun and she’s the epitome of natural beauty. She didn’t want to feel overdone or made up, so we created a look that enhanced her radiance while keeping everything soft & luminous. 

The Skin Prep:
@gloskinbeauty PRO 5 Liquid Exfoliant
@soniarosellibeauty Water Elixir
@belif Aquabomb Moisturizer
@ombeautyoil | Om Beauty Oil pressed on top

The Face:
We bounced in @faceatelier | Face Atelier foundation with a sponge for that seamless, skin-like finish. @fitglowbeauty | Fit Glow Beauty Peach Corrector brightened her under and inner eye darkness, then we added @kosas | Kosas Baked Blush in Dreamland and Heartbeat for a natural flush. My favorite Glo Skin Beauty Cream Bronzer Stick in Warm Glow brought warmth and dimension to complete her glowing complexion.

The Eyes:
Glo Skin Beauty Cream Shadow in Beam created soft definition, with @diorbeauty | Dior highlighter placed in the outer corners and upper cheeks for a lifted, luminous effect. I tightlined with brown liner by @onesize | One Size, then used @danessa_myricks | Danessa Myricks Color Fix to set her individual @eyemimosanfrancisco | Eyemimo lashes (after curling with the @rephr.to | Rephr lash curler first). Prepped the curled lashes with @judydoll_official | Judydoll mascara in black for that perfect lifted, pre-flutter.

The Lips:
Fit Glow Beauty Lip Serum as the base, topped with Glo Skin Beauty lipgloss in Whisper - the perfect understated elegance.

Setting It All:
Danessa Myricks Evolution Powder and One Size Waterproof Setting Spray to ensure everything stayed flawless from ceremony through the entire celebration.
