beauty consultants.


Each lady sat down to a full collection of skin care and make up products and we all got to give ourselves a complete facial and new full make up. It was so much fun, especially when the Wig Lady arrived and we got to try on all sorts of hats and wigs. It was such a hoot!

I tried on a really short, blonde wig that everyone said looked amazing! And I must admit, I thought it suited me better than my normally dark hair.

We all got to take home ALL the skin care and make up products, plus a great tote bag, probably 4 to 500 dollars worth of goodies, all donated by the fantastic cosmetic companies here in Aus.

I took my sister with me for company and later we went op-shopping and picked up a few bargains, we were gone for 8 & 1/2 hours!!!!

What a fabulous day we had and now I am absolutely, totally, happily, worn out and ready for an early night.

So Cute family I hope I will catch up with you all tomorrow morning, before my next chemo treatment at 1:30 pm.

hugs n roses one and all, Meganne

What a super day for you and your sister. I have to tell you the truth.. Blondes do have a lot of fun and I can picture you as a blonde. I think these organizations and the companies that have joined them have created a wonderful thing for so many women having cemo and radiation treatments. Enjoy your goodies and rest up after such a special day.

Meganne, You are an inspiration to all of us! Your wonderful attitude and outlook will see you through the worst of everything and keep you laughing through the the best of it! The Lord put a "special angel down here to help all the others in your group to get through the scary times! I do so admire you! I fell apart this past week with my son and his heart attack and still have not been able to eat or sleep. I pray and I DO believe that the Lord is the answer to all things but I am so wired that I can not calm down. I AM ALWAYS the calm one during everything but my mind and body is playing tricks on me this time. A very good friend of mine is having the same thing done tomorrow too far away for me to be there. I helped raise his 2 boys many years ago before he married again. Ironicilly, his youngestson is a specialist in Peidmont Hospital right here in Atlanta where my son had his surgery Tuesday. You are a strong-willed and delightful person and alot of help to those around you. May God bless and keep you in his protective arms through your chemo and your healing process. You encourage those around you to see the bright side. I really admire your fortitude and down to earth grasp on the situation. Go get that blonde wig and have a blast with it. Just remember to eat right and get enough rest. My prayers go out to you and your family. Linda in Ga

Meqanne, I am so glad that you managed to enjoy yourselves so much. Wish I was a fly on the wall to see all the fun. Did you get the blond wig?I think you should concider it.
It does feel good when you are tired, but happy because you enjoyed something so much.
Rest well, and hope treatment goes well. Hugs. Marietta

Meganne you are an inspiration so its great to hear about your day and to hear that there are people helping others through their difficult times. You could get a different wig for each day of the week. Have you ever thought of embroidering one for yourself?
