In Memory of Esmy ❤️

Today, my heart is heavy with the loss of Esmy, one of the young women who was part of AFCC and that I had the privilege of knowing for so many years. Esmy passed away this morning after her long battle with cancer.

Esmy was a beautiful young woman who showed incredible strength, courage, and love throughout her life. Her journey touched many of us and reminded us just how precious life truly is.

To all of the moms and families in our community who are facing difficult journeys of their own: please never give up hope. Each of us has our own path in this life, and none of us knows how much time we have been given. What we can do is make the most of the time we have.

Let’s make every day matter. Let’s love deeply, laugh often, appreciate the little things, support one another, and make every precious day count.

My deepest condolences go to her aunt and to her entire family, who cared for her, loved her, and stood beside her for so many years. I hope they find comfort in knowing how much she was loved and how many lives she touched.

May she rest peacefully, and may her beautiful spirit live on in the hearts of everyone who knew her.

Esmy, you will always be remembered with love. 🙏🏼❤️🕊️

En memoria de Esmy ❤️

Hoy mi corazón está lleno de tristeza por la pérdida de Esmy, una de las jóvenes que formó parte de AFCC y a quien tuve el privilegio de conocer durante tantos años. Esmy falleció esta mañana después de su larga lucha contra el cáncer.

Esmy era una hermosa joven que demostró una fortaleza, un valor y un amor increíbles a lo largo de su vida. Su historia tocó el corazón de muchos de nosotros y nos recordó lo verdaderamente preciosa que es la vida.

A todas las mamás y familias de nuestra comunidad que están enfrentando sus propios momentos difíciles: por favor, nunca pierdan la esperanza. Cada uno de nosotros tiene su propio camino en esta vida, y ninguno sabe cuánto tiempo se nos ha concedido. Lo que sí podemos hacer es aprovechar al máximo el tiempo que tenemos.

Hagamos que cada día importe. Amemos profundamente, riamos con frecuencia, valoremos las pequeñas cosas, apoyémonos unos a otros y hagamos que cada día que se nos regala sea especial.

Mis más sinceras condolencias a su tía y a toda su familia, quienes la cuidaron, la amaron y estuvieron a su lado durante tantos años. Espero que encuentren consuelo al saber cuánto fue amada Esmy y cuántas vidas tocó con su presencia.

Que descanse en paz y que su hermoso espíritu permanezca siempre en el corazón de todos los que tuvieron la dicha de conocerla.

Esmy, siempre serás recordada con amor. 🙏🏼❤️🕊️

✨ Introducing the Nervous System Toolkit ✨

Understanding your nervous system can change the way you understand yourself.

If you've ever found yourself wondering:

• "Why do I react this way?"
• "Why is it so hard to slow down?"
• "Why do I feel anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down—even when I know I'm safe?"

You're not alone. Your nervous system has been doing exactly what it was designed to do: protect you.

That's why I created the Nervous System Toolkit—a free workbook designed to help you build a deeper relationship with your body through education, reflection, and practical exercises.

Inside you'll explore:

🤍 The foundations of nervous system regulation
🤍 Polyvagal Theory and the Window of Tolerance
🤍 Neuroception and your body's internal "safety scanner"
🤍 Interoception and learning to listen to your body
🤍 Somatic boundaries and body-based awareness
🤍 Restorative practices, breathwork, and gentle movement
🤍 Reflection prompts to help you integrate what you learn

This isn't about "fixing" yourself.

It's about developing the awareness to notice what your nervous system is communicating and responding with curiosity and compassion.

Because healing doesn't begin by fighting your body. It begins by understanding it.

You can download your free copy now by visiting casperawellness.com.

I'd love to hear what resonates with you most as you work through it. 💚

I thought I would share this, as it had a big impact on us.

Yesterday, something happened that reminded me of a lesson I’ve always believed in.

After an Uber ride home, we gave our driver a generous tip because we genuinely enjoyed our conversation and appreciated the service he provided. We thought nothing more of it.

The next day, he surprised us with flowers and a handwritten letter telling us how much our kindness had meant to him.

To be honest, we were the ones who felt grateful after reading it.

His letter reminded me that you don’t have to be rich, famous, beautiful, successful, or exceptionally smart to make a difference in someone’s life.

You simply have to care.

Be kind. Be respectful. Take an interest in people. Share a smile. Have a conversation. Treat others the way you would like to be treated. Carry positive energy into the world.

What struck me most was that we had no idea our interaction had affected him so deeply. It was a powerful reminder that we never truly know what someone else is going through or how much a simple act of kindness might mean to them.

But the opposite is true as well.

Just as kindness can lift someone up, negativity can tear someone down. A rude comment, impatience, disrespect, or simply making someone feel invisible can stay with them far longer than we realize. We all have the power to brighten someone’s day, but we also have the power to darken it.

That’s why the way we treat people matters.

Sometimes it’s not the money, the gift, or the grand gesture that people remember. It’s how you made them feel.

Good energy is contagious. Kindness is contagious. Hope is contagious.

Every day, we have an opportunity to leave people a little happier, a little more valued, and a little more hopeful than we found them. And if enough of us do that, we make the world a better place, one interaction at a time.

Thank you to this thoughtful Uber driver for taking the time to remind us that human connection still matters, and that the smallest moments can leave the biggest impact.

Ayer ocurrió algo que me recordó una lección en la que siempre he creído.

Después de un viaje en Uber de regreso a casa, le dimos a nuestro conductor una propina generosa porque realmente disfrutamos de la conversación y apreciamos el servicio que nos brindó. No le dimos más importancia.

Al día siguiente, nos sorprendió con flores y una carta escrita a mano contándonos cuánto había significado para él nuestra amabilidad.

Para ser sinceros, fuimos nosotros quienes nos sentimos agradecidos después de leerla.

Su carta me recordó que no hace falta ser rico, famoso, hermoso, exitoso o excepcionalmente inteligente para marcar una diferencia en la vida de alguien.

Simplemente hay que preocuparse por los demás.

Sé amable. Sé respetuoso. Interésate por las personas. Comparte una sonrisa. Ten una conversación. Trata a los demás como te gustaría que te trataran a ti. Lleva energía positiva al mundo.

Lo que más me impactó fue que no teníamos idea de que nuestra interacción lo había afectado tan profundamente. Fue un poderoso recordatorio de que nunca sabemos realmente por lo que está pasando otra persona ni cuánto puede significar para ella un simple acto de bondad.

Pero lo contrario también es cierto.

Así como la amabilidad puede levantar a una persona, la negatividad puede derribarla. Un comentario grosero, la impaciencia, la falta de respeto o simplemente hacer que alguien se sienta invisible pueden quedarse con esa persona mucho más tiempo de lo que imaginamos. Todos tenemos el poder de alegrarle el día a alguien, pero también tenemos el poder de arruinárselo.

Por eso importa tanto la forma en que tratamos a los demás.

A veces, no es el dinero, el regalo o el gran gesto lo que las personas recuerdan. Es cómo las hiciste sentir.

La buena energía es contagiosa. La amabilidad es contagiosa. La esperanza es contagiosa.

Cada día tenemos la oportunidad de dejar a las personas un poco más felices, un poco más valoradas y un poco más esperanzadas de lo que estaban antes de encontrarnos. Y si suficientes personas hacemos eso, podemos hacer del mundo un lugar mejor, una interacción a la vez.

Gracias a este considerado conductor de Uber por tomarse el tiempo de recordarnos que la conexión humana sigue siendo importante y que los momentos más pequeños pueden dejar el mayor impacto. ❤️

💕 COMMUNITY SUPPORT REALLY NEEDED THIS SUMMER 💕

As many of you know, our D'Luxe Beauty Studio was created to support the moms from AFCC ( Aid to families of children with cancer) who are taking care of their sick child, usually alone. Please support our Beauty Studio so we can help continue giving back to the community. We absolutely love what we do and are so grateful for every person who has supported us along the way.

This time of year has been especially difficult with fewer tourists, expats, and snowbirds in town, and we truly need local community support to help keep our studio viable through the summer months.

If you’ve been thinking about taking some time for yourself, getting pampered, treating someone you love to a gift certificate, or even hosting a small event, we would be incredibly grateful for your support. 💖

Our website is finally complete and bookings can now be made directly online:

If you are not in town you can still show your support with something as simple as:

✨ Following our page and instagram
✨ Liking and sharing our posts
✨ Recommending us to friends and family and sharing your photos ✨ Sharing this post in local groups

✨ A Studio with Purpose ✨

At our beauty studio, what we do goes beyond beauty—it comes from the heart 💖

This month, we are proudly honoring the women who truly make the world go round… mothers. Their strength, love, and resilience inspire everything we do.

But we’re also standing beside a special group of mothers—those bravely fighting to support their children through illness. In partnership with Aid for Families of Children with Cancer (AFCC), we are dedicating this month to giving back and supporting these incredible families.

Every visit, every service, every act of support helps us contribute to something bigger than ourselves.

💐 When you support our studio, you’re not just investing in beauty—you’re helping uplift mothers, families, and children who need it most.

Let’s come together to celebrate, give back, and make a difference 💕
