#IAmATreasure: Meet Jo Placencio of PeaceLoveGlam
A mother, partner, successful entrepreneur and influencer, Jo Placencio of PeaceLoveGlam lives her life with such vibrancy that even a mundane Tuesday for most is a cherished gift for her to champion a new day with bright eyes. Born and raised in Texas, when it comes to living authentically and unapologetically, Placencio’s unwavering ambition truly is bigger in the longhorn state. And despite having a packed schedule that includes business and press events and leading monthly empowerment meetings for over 50 women, she never skimps out on personal self-care, leaving most of us awestruck and inspired to follow suit.
That’s why we’ve decided to highlight her as Sahara Rose Skincare’s first ever interviewee in our new #IAmATreasure series. Because this cheery Austin-based fashionista and #goodvibes guru knows a thing or two about not sweating the small stuff, hitting the pause button to internally refresh, and when to splure in an indulgent skincare ritual to unwind (hint: it’s daily!). We sat down with the bubbly muse to find out what helps her stay sane amidst the craziness of the holiday season, her tried-and-true beauty and life hacks, and more!
How do you make time for yourself during one of the busiest seasons of the year?
Self-care is so important. I like to put it in my calendar as an appointment. And I don’t let anything keep me from that appointment! I treat it like a business meeting to myself.
How do you unwind and destress?
Spending time with my love, Christopher; my son; a glass of wine with my girlfriends; and meditation.
What's your best holiday self-care tip?
It is such a crazy time of year, but it’s also my favorite time to remember what the holiday season is truly about! My best self-care tip is to learn to say no if any invites are going to interfere with your sanity.
How did Sahara Rose help you practice self-love and care this holiday season?
Sahara Rose’s Detoxifying Mask is my go-to for detoxifying!
Who inspires you?
I am inspired by strong women who work hard and hustle! I admire Oprah and Gwyneth Paltrow from Goop.
What’s your secret to success?
Stay true to who you are! Authenticity is key.
Do you have any beauty secrets?
Use clean beauty products, like Sahara Rose, as well as sunblock. Also, hydrate and remember that age is just a number!
Can you share a wellness tip with us?
Sleeping seven to eight hours each night is essential. Meditate, meditate, meditate. It will change your life!
What’s your best advice?
Always be kind and show LOVE to others. You never know what other humans are dealing with!
