A Sunday thought .....
A squeal worthy moment…
Ever have one of those?? You know
when you get something you really, really want or you make a comment/post to a “famous”
person about something and they REPLY!! I usually take a pic on my iphone and share with a gf- what do you do??
Well, I recently had it happen twice,
first one was when I posted a thank you to Genevieve Gorder for sharing her
awesome vacation pics, that I get to dream through her photos & SHE replied!!
#2 was when I wished Chaz Dean good luck for another sell out of his TSV on QVC
& HE replied back!!
So many things put a smile on my
face and make me happy, a hug when I finally meet someone in person that I have
been communicating with on social media- I recently had the “squeal moment”
when I met Katia at QVC- she is as lovely as she is beautiful. In case
wondering who she is, well she is the lovely natural super curly hair model for
Chaz Dean’s WEN line. Also met Mary another WEN model and she was so lovely
also and gave me info on what they do on now cleansing days {that is another
post someday- my love of WEN}.

From the World of Beauty
From the World of Beauty
2 wonderful and talented ladies
that I have had the privilege of meeting and watching them “at work”, have both
started their own companies this year. I admire them so much for spreading
their wings and following their dreams!
Christina Choi, a nationally recognized
makeup artist who in the past has worked for MAC & bareMinerals {Bare
Escentuals} has developed her own line of cosmetics called ChristinaChoiCosmetics.
It is a mix of classic and fashion forward eye colors {and some can be used on
the cheeks} luxe lip glosses and posh brushes.
Alex Pappas, a very talented
makeup artist that in the past was part of the National Artistry team for
bareMinerals {Bare Escentuals} and currently the Makeup Artist for FOX
5/myfoxNY, has started a business based on her patented idea & design for
shoe accessories called Arch Tags. Bling for the soles of your shoes, various
designs to make the plain underside of shoes be special.
I admire the courage that both of
these ladies have to create a company & product of their dreams! To me that
is “in life there is much Beauty” .
Congrats Ladies! & thank you
for sharing with us!

In awe of their true Beauty
In awe of their true Beauty.....
I have 2 friends that are
battling terrible diseases, but they do not allow that to define them. I so
admire their strength.
Tish is such a lovely lady that
is a Mom, wife, daughter, BE Addict and has Lupus. Notice the first thing I
call her- MOM, well that is the best way to describe her, she has 2 lovely
daughters that are her world. . Tish is married to the love of her life- M as
we call him- he dotes on her, and she him. She is who she is both beautiful
inside & out and is living with the disease, it is not who she is. I have
not the chance to meet her face to face yet, but will do someday and give her
the biggest hug I can! Love you.. La
dish, my Tish.
Then there is my Sparkle Jess,
she is one of my besties and is in the battle of her life against the yucky disease,
you know the one … the big C. She is so
strong and has battled other things in her life and as with them and this- she
WILL win! She has one of the most
beautiful hearts I have ever met. She has made me smile, made me laugh and made
me see many things in a different view. She has taught me so much about life
and does not even know it! She is a sister, a daughter and a wonderful person.
She will defend her friends to anyone. She is such a Beauty in every definition
of the word.
As I titled this, I am so in awe
of their True Beauty and love them so much, I wish them happiness in their
lives and triumph in their battles.
Xoxo mwah!

Life changes, should I embrace it? …
Life changes, should I embrace it?
…
Yes!! The source that connects me
to most everyone that I am friends with, no matter how we became friends, I can
say it is because of bareMinerals and Leslie Blodgett. We have seen much change
in that world, BUT we all remain friends and we can thank that crazy Mark
Zuckerburg for giving us a format to be able to communicate with ease. I for
one am not a big phone talker {Yes I know Jess we did talk that one time for 2
hours} but having Facebook as an option on how we “talk” to each other is
fabulous!! Sharing our joys & laughs, beauty tips, shopping finds and
family events has been wonderful. I am so thankful that I have met ya’ll.
Are you embracing the changes
that Life has given you lately?? Tell me what has brought you Joy.
The Positive for the day: On the
one year anniversary of losing his eyesight in a hidden bomb blast in Afghanistan,
Navy Lt Brad Snyder won a Paralympic Gold Medal in swimming!. Woohoo- that is
awesome!

Who & what inspired me to start this journey…
Who & what inspired me to start
this journey…
Well I love “cheering” and hugging
everyone that I friend and someone recently thanked me for it. That made me
realize we all need positive thoughts, posts to help make the day just a little
better.
One of my best friends is going through Chemo
and she still makes me smile & laugh and I enjoy encouraging her on this battle {one that
she will win}. Several of my BEauties had major career changes this year with
some finding success in new areas and others taking time to find what was right
for them. One started a new beauty venture and I had lots of fun with the
launch on Facebook with her. One BEauty encourages me to think outside the box,
and loves the ease of text messaging as much as me. Another has an online
lifestyle editorial magazine that I find so informative & fun. Did you realize even people in the public eye
like encouraging comments??
All these wonderful friends have
made a place in my heart.
So today’s positive is from
Ollie, my little 3 legged grandpup- he just loves to run and he looks like a
bunny doing it!
Something that makes me smile
Something that makes me smile,
laugh & inspires me, is my Favorite show- Kitchen Cousins on HGTV. https://www.facebook.com/kitchencousins
It gives me giggles the way the guys interact {and they are
very easy on the eyes} with each other. The early shows in season #1 they used
some of the most gorgeous Italian cabinetry with slick finishes and pops of
color!! I mean who thinks to put bright orange in a kitchen on the cabinets???
I generally do not watch “reality tv” I usually watch shows
such as NCIS, NCIS LA, Law & Order, Blue Bloods, Rizzolo & Isles,
gritty story based shows, but something about Kitchen Cousins {and not just
because of Tori- inside joke} compels me to watch.
It is only a ½ hour long at this point so very condensed-
there was an hour special episode when they did a WHOLE house rehab for a lucky
family in Pittsburgh for a gift from Ellen DeGeneres. They have shown me color combinations
“outside” the box. Some of the materials that they show us for countertops
& backsplash- WOWZA!
So what are your favorite shows?? Tell me
if you have watched the Cousins.
Todays’ Positive is for RLS--- We love you & things are
going to be better than ever!! xoxox

In life there is much beauty….
In life there is much beauty….
And I find the need to share and
encourage it. I wanted to start a blog
where I can share the positive and encourage others with whatever they do. I want to be able to share the joy I find in
the things we do, people we meet, the latest purchase or even the joyful video
we found. I want to talk about the t.v.
show I enjoyed, the book I found delight in, and I want you to share with me
along this journey we call life.
Who am I, you might ask- I am you but
just a different age/size/place in life.
I am empty-nester mom, the kid is grown graduated college and soaring in
Navy Aviation these days. Yes I am a very proud mom!! I have friends that
surround me, either in person, email, messages, via blogs or facebook. I work
too many hours, I like to be busy- otherwise I think too much, you know the
"what if's". I am also the mom to 2 fat doxies and grammie to a 3
legged doxie that we are taking care of for the son. I am a fashionist, beauty addict {but to my
favorite brands}.
I want to share the web sites,
blogs that I enjoy & find delight in, as I want you to share with me {us}
the ones you find also.
To start I want to share several
of my favorite blogs/web sites.
