I was born in Buffalo, New York and one of eight children. We lived in the city but had a wonderful little cottage in the country by a lake that we would go to every summer.  I loved being in nature and would spend hours picking flowers, berries, climbing trees and swimming in the lake. Even then I understood how important nature and the environment were. Ever since I was a young girl, I loved making natural beauty treatments. I would also day dream about traveling the world and visiting other cultures. Later, when I became a fashion model and TV host, taking care of my appearance was a required part of the job. Through my work, I have been so fortunate to have traveled around the world and been exposed to many different cultures.  Often when a shoot was over and the crew was heading to the airport, I would stay on an extra week to experience the culture and learn the beauty and wellness secrets of the region. I often spent a few days at a local spa to unwind and gain insights into ancient and indigenous beauty treatments, then go home and create recipes based on my experience. I am writing this blog so you, too, can experience these wonderful treatments from across the globe. Read more about Dawn
