Deb's Journey
Debbie McCarthy, AKA: AboutTownDeb, your Food, Wine & Travel gal here excited to share my Hall & Wrye journey with you.
Now that I have hit the 60 mark in my life, I have begun to show the signs of aging. These same signs also show that I’m living life to the fullest and are a reminder each day is a gift.
I am grateful to say that each day is an amazing gift, where I am able to be out-and-about, connecting family, friends, and community with lots of smiles, and stories to share as AboutTownDeb.
My world of connecting via social media has become a filtered world of selfies that I hate to admit are filtered about 80 percent of the time. I want to be able to get to a place where I am the best version of me and love the way I look without filters.
So, when Hall & Wrye contacted me to share my journey of taking care of my skin and begin a healthy lifestyle, I said yes! Although we are amazing just the way we are, self-care only leads to the best version of ourselves. With the right skin care regime and guidance from the team at Hall & Wrye, they are helping me along the way with treatments like Botox and lasers, to help with those dark spots from my beach days.
