A Note From Marina
Dear clients,
I have been trying to figure out how to write this for a while, and there really isn’t a perfect way to say it.
After more than 12 years, October 28 will be my last day seeing clients at From Europe With Love.
This is a big change for me. From Europe With Love has been such a huge part of my life for so long, and so have many of you.
Some of you have been coming to me for more than 10 years. I’ve watched your kids grow up. I’ve heard about new jobs, relationships, weddings, vacations, moves, good news and bad news. We’ve talked about pretty much everything while I was working on your skin.
And yes, somewhere in between all those facials, peels and extractions, I became very attached to you.
So walking away from the treatment room isn’t something I take lightly.
But I also feel very lucky, because I’m not really saying goodbye to From Europe With Love.
Beginning November 1, Angela will take over FEWL and move it to:
230 California Ave, Suite 200
Palo Alto, CA 94306
Angela has been with me for almost 10 years. She knows how I work, she knows what From Europe With Love stands for, and she already knows so many of you.
I trust her. And I honestly couldn’t be happier that she is the one taking over the business and taking care of you.
For you, almost nothing is changing except the address.
From Europe With Love is staying From Europe With Love. The name stays. The services and pricing stay. Your memberships, packages, credits and gift cards stay. Your appointments stay.
If you’re already booked for November 1 or later, you don’t need to do anything. Just show up at the new location. Angela will take it from there.
And what am I doing?
I’m not leaving skincare.
I’m just ready to work in a different way.
I’ll finally have more time to focus on Semper Amate Skin Care, something I’ve been building alongside FEWL for years.
I’m also building Semper Amate Academy, where I’ll be teaching skincare professionals. After all these years of working with acne, difficult skin, ingredients, products and treatment protocols, I have a lot that I want to teach and pass along.
I’m actually really looking forward to that part.
I’ll still be involved with Semper Amate, product development and skincare education. I just won’t be standing in a treatment room all day anymore.
And yes, Angela will continue carrying Semper Amate at From Europe With Love, so your products aren’t disappearing either.
One more thing
Thank you.
Really.
Thank you for trusting me with your skin. Thank you for coming back year after year. Thank you for sending me your friends, your spouses, your teenagers and sometimes half your family.
Thank you for supporting my little business and helping it grow into something I could never have imagined when I started it in 2014.
And thank you for all the conversations, laughs and stories over the years. I’m going to miss that part more than I can probably explain.
I’m sad to close this chapter, but I’m also ready for what comes next.
And knowing that From Europe With Love will continue with Angela makes it so much easier.
So this isn’t really goodbye.
I’ll still be around. I’ll just be on the other side of the skincare business now.
With love,
Marina
