My name is Lynnette, your skincare expert! I am married to a very supportive husband, have 4 dogs and 2 cats(because rescuing is not something you can turn off) and 2 grown kids.Starting a new path/career in your late 40’s may not be ideal but I wouldn’t change anything! Going back to school, meeting a whole new, fantastic group of people has helped me find who I was meant to be.My approach to skincare will be as natural as I can get while still achieving results. The more I learn, the more you will benefit! I am starting off with two skincare lines: Bioelements and Moor Spa. Bioelements uses nature along with science for maximum skin benefits without any adverse side effects to your largest organ. Moor Spa products have a base of Austrian Moor, a nutrient rich plant complex that enhances skin’s health and appearance.My goal is to help you be comfortable in the skin you have as I have not always been comfortable in my own skin. I also want your experience with me to be relaxing so there will be no skimming on the details! You will walk out feeling great and wanting to return for another treatment!Let me see how I can help you enhance your GLOW!

Sizzling Good Time at Fuji Steakhouse

Last week, I joined my boss, Jake, for the hibachi lunch at Fuji Steakhouse on Milton Avenue in Janesville. We went in right at the tail end of lunch service - the place was mellow and comfortably lit with soft ambiance, beautiful water features, and vibrant fish tanks framing the hibachi tables.The Hibachi ShowOur chef arrived with flair, cracking jokes, flipping spatulas, and even launching an impressive onion volcano that burst into flame right before our eyes. He was talkative, personable—and clearly skilled. He playfully tossed a spoonful of rice into Jake’s mouth, and he stuck the landing!What We AteWe both ordered the hibachi lunch combo—I chose chicken, Jake opted for shrimp. Dinner included fried rice, generously coated in thick, tangy sauces, seasoned vegetables, and our grilled meat of choice, juicy and flavorful!The portions were huge. I had more than half my meal left to take home—great value at about $13–14 for lunch specials. The meal was hearty, savory, and comfortingly flavorful.Starter & ServiceWe began with hearty house salads that came with sweet, creamy dressing—simple, but undeniably tasty. The service was attentive and fast, and the chef stayed engaging from start to finish.Atmosphere & ValueFuji’s sizable parking lot makes arrival easy. The low‑lighting by the hibachi grill sets a relaxed mood, with the water features adding a calming backdrop. While the restaurant wasn't busy during our timing, that actually let us luxuriate in the chef’s full attention.This location has built a strong local reputation for combining good ambiance, prompt service, generous portion sizes, and entertaining chefs—all at a price that feels like a steal among Janesville hibachi venues.If you're in the mood for a fun, interactive meal and generous portions without a hefty bill, Fuji Steakhouse’s hibachi lunch is a solid pick—especially with a guaranteed smile from the chef’s performance. That's the buzz!

Janesville Tourism Shatters Records Again

Janesville Tourism Shatters Records Again, Fueling Local Growth and Community PrideFor the third year in a row, tourism in Janesville is on a record-breaking streak, and the numbers from 2024 are in—they’re nothing short of incredible. The Janesville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (JACVB) has announced that visitor spending and total economic impact have reached all-time highs, firmly establishing Janesville as a rising star in Wisconsin’s tourism landscape.According to newly released data, visitors spent $170.2 million in Janesville in 2024, a $6 million increase from the year prior. When indirect and induced economic impacts are factored in, that total jumps to an impressive $260.1 million. To put that in perspective: Janesville welcomed an average of $466,000 in visitor spending every single day last year.But the impact goes well beyond dollars. This surge in tourism supported 1,178 local jobs and generated $14.5 million in state and local tax revenue. Without that revenue, each Janesville household would need to contribute an extra $518 in taxes to make up the difference.“Tourism continues to play a vital role in our local economy—not only supporting jobs and small businesses, but also enhancing quality of life for our residents,” said Christine Rebout, Executive Director of the JACVB. “With exciting developments on the horizon, we’re confident Janesville will continue to grow as a year-round destination.”Big Developments Fueling the MomentumJanesville's recent growth in tourism isn’t just a happy accident—it’s the result of deliberate investment in attractions, facilities, and community events.One of the most anticipated projects, the Woodman’s Sports & Convention Center, is scheduled to open this fall. Designed to host tournaments, conferences, trade shows, and community gatherings, this modern, multi-use venue is expected to draw visitors from across the region and beyond. With year-round programming, it will drive traffic to local hotels, restaurants, and shops—especially during the shoulder seasons when tourism typically dips.Also on the horizon is the Children’s Museum of Rock County, expected to open in 2026. A groundbreaking ceremony is planned for this summer, marking the next big step in bringing a new destination for family learning and play to downtown Janesville. Once open, the museum will become another key attraction for residents and visitors alike.Janesville Helps Lead the State in Tourism GrowthJanesville’s success is part of a broader statewide trend. Wisconsin tourism set its own record in 2024 with a staggering $25.8 billion in economic impact. Rock County, in particular, saw a 5.7% increase in total economic activity and a 6.4% increase in direct visitor spending—ranking third out of all 72 counties for the highest percentage growth in both categories.With more than $131 million in labor income generated across the county, tourism continues to strengthen not just the hospitality sector but also the overall economy in meaningful ways.Looking AheadThe future of tourism in Janesville looks incredibly bright. Continued investment in amenities, unique event programming, and destination marketing will ensure the city remains a go-to spot for travelers—and a proud home for locals.To learn more about Janesville’s attractions, upcoming events, and ways to get involved, visit janesvillecvb.com.
