Female founder Brenda Mierzejewski, of Mizzi Cosmetics - home of the Lip Luxe brand - joined Teresa Collins and Briana Christine in The Glow Up Lounge for this episode! Brenda was such a fabulous guest, and told us the story of how she began Mizzi, when her infant son was in the hospital with heart problems and the nurses were applying petroleum jelly to his lips. Being a breastfeeding mom, she wanted to make sure that what went on his lips was safe to ingest, which got her thinking about all things we put on our lips in general. With her chemist background, she got to work in her kitchen creating what we know as Lip Luxe today! And she didn't start there - now her team is changing the game for med spas worldwide when it comes to after care for the invasive procedures we put ourselves through - from laser, to CO2, to filler to microneedling - her proprietary formulas are specifically created to help patients heal 50% faster and be able to enjoy the results of those treatments longer. As her team says: aftercare should NOT be an afterthought! Be sure to listen and share! Spread the Mizzi love, and ask your provider for their aftercare products!

Step inside the world of Dr. Sheila Nazarian; Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Emmy nominated host of Netflix's Skin Decision and "Small Breast Queen!" Known for her artistry with the scalpel and giving patients the most natural results possible, we got to hear what it was like to jump into a male dominated world as a female plastic surgeon who had a lot to say and a unique way to say it. From documenting surgeries and being among the first to post YouTube videos explaining things like the difference between a mini tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck, and being invited onto programs like E! News, The Real, The Doctors, Inside Edition and so many more, the journey to having her own show on Netflix was quite the adventure for Dr. Nazarian! But she is so much more than a reality TV star. A skilled surgeon and brilliant business woman - over the course of her career transforming her patient's lives, she has discovered the power of funneling down to what matters most: surrounding herself with the people, patients, surgeries and experiences that fulfill and uplift her. And we are not done seeing her on our screens yet! With new show ideas coming, we cannot wait to see what Dr. Sheila Nazarian comes out with to film next!
