Here's what happens to your body when you stop drinking alcohol
GLAMOUR
We all have our reasons for giving up alcohol. It used to be that we were going out too many nights a week, spending too much money and rolling in too late on a school night.
Now, the problem is staying in. With alcohol delivery services, ample midnight snacks and a few extra hours in bed before the morning Zoom meeting, it's almost too easy to pour another drink before bed.
Perhaps that's why 1 in 5 of us are giving Dry January a go in 2021 — that's double on last year — and attempting to curb our habits for at least 31 days.
What's remarkable though, is just how much our bodies can benefit from a one-month detox, even if you don't decide to stop drinking altogether in 2021.

NCEA Certified: What it means to you ...
"Being an NCEA Certified professional has validated my professional abilities and proven I have achieved the national esthetician certification standards based on a 1,200-hour competency examination. This credential is the only one of its kind to ensure continuing education requirements are in place through NCEA's commission on accreditation, adherence of knowledge, up-to date standards and policies. Membership in the NCEA Association allows us to be advocates with our state legislatures and to recognize higher esthetician standards as NCEA Certified professionals. It is a great honor and privilege to achieve and become an NCEA Certified professional. I am inspired to become a NCEA Trainer and offer mentoring and guidance for other professionals to become NCEA Certified professionals as well." ~Stephanie Freeman, Sewickley, PA

Based upon a 1,200-hour Job Task Analysis, the NCEA Certified credential is equivalent to the Master Esthetician license that is currently only available in four (4) states in the country (UT, WA, VA, DC).
The NCEA Certified credential signifies the value and credibility for consumers in determining the expertise and training of an Esthetician.
