Along with a great bag to carry her new swag in. Winner Denise got some
great products. One of these products was the instant manicure from
BeautiControl. Instant Manicure is described by the company as having
dead sea salts and natural oils that moisturize and protect your hands
at a price of 28.00.
Well pink reviewed the product and I have to say "uhmm". The sea salt
gently exfoliates your hands and cuticles, while the oils make them look
all fresh and healthy. The product also has a great smell that is up
lifting. I also liked that I didn't need a lot of the product to get the
claimed effect. I put the canister by my sink so that I can use it
often during the winter months. The only downsize I noticed was that the
lid became oily once i opened the Protective cover. This product is Not
portable.
BeautiControl Instant Manicure Earns 4 out of 5 pink stars.

As I looked the faces and spirit of the survivors, family and friends
this weekend as we walked side by side with the same mission in mind:
finding a cure, I felt energized. This led me to wonder if they knew
what a gift they each were. If they felt the effect they were having on
lives of the people around them. If they realized the joy that they
were spreading by just showing up. It's easy for us to see
ourselves, our mountains to get lost in self. I wanted to hug them all
and say... Look around and see the inspiration you are spreading. Watch,
listen, be aware you are wonderful. You are strong. You are all
survivors!

Debbie Jones - My Pink Purse Breast Cancer Awareness Raffle
Our Hats Off To An Inspiring Survivor!
 Congratulations to Debbie Jones, the My Pink Purse - Survivor Essentials Breast Cancer Awareness
raffle winner. Debbie was chosen out of over 1,000 participants who
entered to win a WHM large leather purse and wallet set, filled with
products from BeautiControl, thanks to brand representative Tina
Shannon!Debbie’s story is one that offers inspiration to women everywhere, driven by strength and faith. In 2008, Debbie moved from St. Louis to Kansas City, MO to take a position as principle of an area school. Being under a lot of stress from the move and new opportunity, she began feeling very ill suddenly. Shortly after these feelings began, she began to notice a painful sensitivity to her left breast, and discovered a lump. Being very concerned she met with her physician, who diagnosed the lump as an infection, and prescribed Debbie with antibiotics to fight it off. To be safe, Debbie’s doctor ordered a biopsy to be done. Debbie was attending a conference out of town, when she received a life changing phone call from her doctor, informing her that she had stage 2 breast cancer. In utter disbelief, Debbie scheduled an appointment to receive a second opinion from another Health Care facility that specialized in the treatment of Breast Cancer. Her diagnosis of stage 2 breast cancer was confirmed in June of 2010. Seeking the best treatment option possible, her and a team of medical professionals gathered to make a plan. They decided that chemotherapy would be the best route of action, and she began going to treatments in September 2010. Following the every other week, eight hour treatments, came a pain and discomfort that Debbie has trouble describing. She attempts to relate it to a “hang over to the twentieth power”, nothing like she’s ever felt before. “It was pretty dramatic,” says Debbie. “it was a very, very, emotional process.” To accompany the physical discomfort, emotional stresses are one of the toughest things that women deal with while struggling to battle cancer. Trying to continue living a regular life, waking up to take her kids to school every morning, continuing to work at her job on a flexible schedule thanks to her understanding employer, and being the confident, caring mother and partner she always had been, was no easy task. Once the cancer had been attacked by months of chemotherapy treatments, Debbie’s left breast was removed to cut off the spread of cancer to the rest of her body. She continued to receive radiation treatments, five days a week for thirty-six treatments. Debbie says faith in God was what helped her through everything she endured. “The best advice is prayer, I tell everyone, Isaiah 54:17, ‘No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgement you shall condemn...” She has been cancer free for 2 years. During her trials, another very important inspiration for Debbie was the of an Associate Minister at her church, who was battling breast cancer herself. During her battle, the pastor’s wife was strong, offering inspiration and support the whole time. She passed away this year, but continues to be an important part of Debbie’s life, and her story. |
