Meet Our Editors

This blog doesn't write itself, although at times it feels like it has a life of its own.  We wouldn't be here without the talent and knowledge of our writers and editors.  I thank them for their hard work and dedication to getting this blog off the ground, and turning it into a place to celebrate all that makes us women.

Nicole Wagner
Managing Editor, Blog Creator, Salon Owner, Stylist, Writer

Nicole owns a salon and mobile spa in the Albany, NY capital district area.  She is dedicated to helping others feel good about themselves.  This blog was created as way to get that message out to a greater number of people.  You can visit Nicole's salon website and visit her on Facebook.

 "I strongly believe that every woman deserves to feel beautiful.  To me, real beauty is about how you see yourself, rather than what others define as beautiful.  When you feel your best, and you feel confident in yourself and your own beauty, then the world has no choice but to see the beautiful woman that you are.  As the mother of two daughters, I strive to teach them to accept and celebrate themselves.  Life is to be savored and enjoyed.  My goal with this blog, as well as with my salon, is to help women see and feel their own personal beauty.  Define your own beauty!"

Tracey Pearce
Fitness Editor, Yoga Teacher, Writer

"I am a 200hr certified Hatha Yoga Instructor under the teachings of Lauren Toolin. I am presently working toward my 500hr certification, while studying and inhabiting advanced Meditation skills and Therapeutic Yoga. In my teachings, I incorporate decades of Yoga awareness, having practiced since the age of 13 along with the social awareness and compassion that seeds from nearly 15 years of serving the community and bartending. My goal is to bring peace to all who seek it. I have been told that I have a dynamic way of presenting it. We all have tough times; having yoga to turn to in these times, make a huge difference in the quality of life."
