Operation Smile China

I was watching news of the earthquake in China the other morning at the gym.  As tears came to my eyes I could only think of one of the children I had taken care of this past Nov. 2007 on my Operation Smile mission to China.  The most beautiful older man held this baby girl.  I assumed that it was her grandfather.  When she came out of surgery with her lip fixed I held her and was surprised of how she looked at me as if she was looking for someone.  The older man came in to hold her and as he wept all he could do is thank us for what we had done.  A few hours later I found out someting that would fill my heart and bring tears to my eyes.  The beautiful little girl that I held was found in the trash by this most extrordinary man as he did his job poking through the trash looking for metal scraps.  He didn't pass up this gift even though it meant those in his village thinking he was crazy, the financial burden, and having to hide from the government for fear they would take her away from him.  He has a 10 year old son, and a wife with some dementia, and you could see what a blessings this little angel has brought to his life.  I will forever be changed and hope to be as selfless and courageous as him in my life.  I pray they are safe and still making each other smile!!!

Eyelashes-for Lynndi

The stuff I use to grow long fab lashes is called Revitalash.  You can finf it at "Got Beauty".  The only catch is that it's expensive $120-$140 per bottle.  Mine has lasted me about 5 months though and still going, and you've seen my lashes so you know it works.  I got mine at one of the office's I work for so it was only $70.00.  The other stuff I use on them is called  "Talika Lipocils".   You can get it at Sephora.  Cost around $40.  I have used this on and off for a couple years though and didn't see such a difference until I was using Revitalash.  Others at my office have experienced the same as me.  

Amansala Tulum, Mexico

I wanted to share with everyone (and maybe make you all a tad bit jealous!!)  my "Bikini Boot Camp" experience.   Yes it was as good as ever.  Walks on the beach, hot sunny weather, bike rides, swims in the ocean, laying out, massages, facials, tarrot readings, the ruins, yoga, bellydancing, cooking classes, and yummy yummy food!!!  It is such a magical, transforming place.  You have to go there to understand.  Here are a few pictures.   It would be fun to have a group go some day!!! Let's plan!!
