We can never fully anticipate life events which will alter and significantly impact our lives. Kirsten Smith joins in conversation today to chat about a huge life event that was thrown her way in her forties, creating a life now which she never would have imagined possible. In 2015 Kirsten began to lose her eyesight and was diagnosed with the rare condition, IIH  – Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. The daily cocktail of medication Kirsten was prescribed to battle this illness left her skin looking and feeling extremely dull, dry and dehydrated.  Frustrated at not being able to find products capable of adequately hydrating her skin,  Kirsten decided to create her own. That one product was the beginning of Bettyquette - a natural skin care company, launched in 2017 committed to helping women  transform their skin with all natural products that actually work. Just 5 years later, Bettyquette is now a multi award winning skincare company with a wide range of products! 

Listen as Jo and Kirsten discuss:

• Accidentally entering into blogging, out of necessity and eventually finding out the benefits in more ways than one.

• Kirsten's journey starting with a standard eye check.

• The year of the couch. Significant moments in our life when all we can do is rest and concentrate on healing.

• How one small act of kindness from her husband turned into a thriving business.

Kirsten's story is certainly inspirational and encourages us that eventually the fog does lift and the silver linings are all around. To find out more about Kirsten and Bettyquette please visit www.bettyquette.com.au and follow @bettyquette and @kirstenandco.
