Last week I took some time for myself and participated in self-care. For over two and a half months my time has been spent at home except for essential trips for groceries and a few times for dinner, to support the local food truck. Businesses are starting to open back up after the mandatory shutdowns and I decided to have a spa day. Skinworks by Jessica Kompas is a new local business located in downtown Lebanon, Oregon. Kompas is a licensed esthetician and pedicurist who graduated from College of Hair Design Careers in Salem, Oregon in February. Jessica opened her business in March inside Current Trends Salon and Tattoo , where she currently provides her services. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic Kompas was only able to work for two weeks until the pandemic forced businesses to shut down. “It was heartbreaking because I didn’t know how long it would last,” said Kompas. “I worked so hard and got this far and then I felt like my dream was going to be over. Thankfull...
