With over 27 years of experience as a celebrity makeup artist, entrepreneur, and holistic wellness expert, I’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t when it comes to confidence, self-care, and living your best life. Here are 5 lessons from my book that every woman needs to embrace.

(5 Lessons):

Own Your Confidence: Confidence isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up fully as YOU. From red carpet events to personal interactions, confidence changes everything.

Prioritize Self-Care: Your energy is your power. Whether it’s through skincare, wellness routines, or Reiki, taking care of yourself first allows you to show up at your best.

Set Boundaries & Say No: Success in career, love, and life comes when you protect your energy and time. Boundaries are a form of self-respect.

Invest in Your Growth: Never stop learning or leveling up. From makeup artistry techniques to spiritual wellness practices, growth fuels empowerment.

Manifest the Life You Want: Your mindset shapes your reality. Using tools like visualization, journaling, and energy healing can transform your life from ordinary to extraordinary.

Let’s be real—some of you are blocking your own blessings. Holding onto old pain, resentment, and trauma like it’s a badge of honor. But here’s the truth: You can’t step into your full power if you’re still carrying what broke you.

Leaving the PAST behind Reiki session with Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

This week, I want you to focus on releasing the past—letting go of pain, resentment, and old wounds. Holding onto past hurts is one of the biggest blocks to receiving your full blessings. New and exciting things cannot enter your life if your soul is weighed down by anger and pain.

What's holding you back? Can all, of your past trauma keep you from moving forward?

Releasing past hurts isn’t just about emotional freedom—it’s also about your physical and spiritual well-being. Have you ever noticed that unhealthy things seem to cling to the body, while good things flow effortlessly? Stress, anger, and resentment can manifest as weight gain, inflammation, hair loss, acne, and other persistent issues. These negative energies linger, growing each time, you experience emotional distress.

Let's release negative energy transforming into golden light as you let go of the past.

So, this week, I want you to commit to letting go and recognizing the triggers that hold you back. You are the only one who can break this cycle. Start feeding your soul with positive energy, self-love, and joy, and watch how these burdens begin to fade.

Allow the golden orbs of positive energy, radiating tranquility and balance feed your soul.

California, My heart Is With You 💔

As I watch the devastating fires spread across this beautiful state, I am overcome with sadness.

So many lives I’m sure have been lost, even if it’s just one life, homes destroyed, and businesses left in ashes. My heart aches for the families grieving, the communities displaced, and everyone impacted by this unimaginable tragedy.

Having spent so much time in California recently—it’s my second home with many plans coming up this year—I feel an even deeper connection to the resilience and beauty of this state. But even amidst this heartbreak, I know the strength of the California community will shine through.

To everyone affected: you are not alone. To the first responders and those offering aid: thank you for your bravery and compassion.

Sending love, prayers, and support to every soul touched by this. May we come together in love to help rebuild what has been lost. 💔

Today I’m Sending Healing Energy to Lift Your Spirit

I know so many of you are feeling hurt, unsafe, defeated, and drained by what’s happening around us right now. The energy feels heavy, and it’s easy to let the negative thoughts take over, especially when it seems like the world is filled with racism, angry people, tension and uncertainty.

Today, I want to send you a wave of healing energy—energy filled with compassion, love, and peace. As you watch my energy healing video, know that my words come from a place of true care and understanding. Allow yourself to feel the warmth of positive energy I’m sending directly to you. Let it ease the tension and replace it with a sense of calm and renewal.

Take a deep breath, open your heart, and let this energy lift your spirit. And Madam Vice President Kamala Harris, we love you and so very proud of you.

Charging My Body For A Healing Touch Reiki Session

I just got in a new set of selenite sticks. So you know what that means, it’s time for a connection. Do you enjoy the sensation that you feel when you touch your crystals? I Do!

Hawai’i Healing Touch Reiki Practitioner Brandy Gomez-Duplessis is getting ready for a session with crystals.

Whenever I put my hands on a client or on their full body chart, I instantly feel sensation because I’m fully charged. When I passed by someone or talk with them over the phone I can pick up their vibration. When I cough that tells me things too. 😂😂😂 don’t tell anyone 😊

I Date Myself, Do You?!

Today is for me, it’s one of my date days. I said, I DO to my husband, I said, I DO to my kids, and I say, I DO to ME!

I choose ME! I choose me every time. In order for me to be at PEACE and HAPPY, I have to have ME TIME! It can be a simple day or a luxe day. It consists of me doing things that makes me happy and smile. I’m not on a schedule, it’s just on my time what I want to do. I can be selfish, I don’t have to wait on anyone, I can eat whatever I want, and my favorite I laugh at myself. It’s fantastic!

Do you date yourself?
