I had a great time in this class! I learned so much that I felt I could confidently make all my skin care. Marla was very sweet and she also shared so much of her personal journey that it felt like it was a girls night amongst friends. Never thought this could be a business venture but it’s now something that has caught my interest.

Marla was kind, informative, professional and fun to work with! The class was set up very nicely. Will definitely be using everything we learned at home and can’t wait to attend another one of Marla’s classes! 10/10 recommend
