“GIVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO OFFER TRANSPARENTLY AND HONESTLY WITH THE BEST EXCELLENCE YOU CAN IN THIS MOMENT. THAT’S THE MAGIC OF BEING SUCCESSFUL” – HORST RECHELBACHER

In Memorial of Horst Rechelbacher from Intelligent Nutrients on Vimeo.

“I grew up in spas and salons and saw firsthand all of the possibilities, rewards, and joy this industry sparks. Beauty Changes Lives’ work to elevate perceptions of this amazing industry complements our Foundation’s desire to give back in a meaningful way to the next generation of beauty leaders. This opportunity for the industry to unite and spur relief is the link the industry needs now”

Nicole Rechelbacher-ThomasCo-Owner - Intelligent Nutrients
