Couples, rejoice!
You guys have made it through the circuit breaker unscathed, and can FINALLY meet each other for some face-to-face TLC – legally.
Having not seen each other for almost 2 months, some of you are naturally a little self-conscious. It somehow feels like a first date, for the second time.
“Will he notice my eye bags from my Netflix binges when he sees me?”
“Will he notice that pesky zit that ALSO, unfortunately, survived the circuit breaker that’s on my forehead?”
“WILL HE STILL LOVE ME?”
Ok, calm down. Your boyfriend will still love you of course – but looking even better coming out of the Circuit Breaker never really hurt anyone too!

Same Old Brand New You
If you’ve been in a relationship for a while, how you present yourself to your partner tends to diminish in importance, as the months or years go by.
After all, you guys have seen (out of bed hair, face sans makeup), felt (period bloating, unshaven legs), and smelt (morning breath, burps, farts) each other in your “natural environment”, so why even bother anymore, right?
Wrong! Relationships need a little bit of shaking up to keep alive. Lest you wish for the flames of passions to fizzle out into dying embers, it wouldn’t hurt for you to give your partner a little sugar and spice… while trying to look nice.
For your second first date, invest a little in yourself to impress your other half. Start off by restoring that glow to your face that might have dulled over the years with the Monroe Hydrafacial.
