She walked in the door to INU Salon and Spa at the Rebelle Lancaster event to speak and I liked her immediately. Candice was warm and welcoming. She smiled constantly and when I introduced myself as the photographer for the event and that I’m a hugger with arms wide open (this was before COVID-19…and I hate that I have to say that) and she exclaimed, “ME TOO! Oh Good!” And wrapped her arms around me for the best hug I had had in a while.
