My Daughter’s Wedding

I just have a few minutes before I have to leave for my Mary Kay unit meeting, so I grabbed my computer and logged on to my blog.  I was looking at the adds that Amazon.com just put on my blog, and I saw one I just have to comment on.  “Power panty with tummy [...]

Probably the next thing that the future bride and groom need to do is set a date. Weddings can be planned in a short amount of time. I had a friend whose daughter had a wedding 3 weeks after deciding to get married. WOW! Talk about a whirlwind!!
But 6 months or more is preferable. I [...]

The next step is to discuss budget. This discussion should be held with everyone who is going to be contributing to the financial support of this big day!
Traditionally, the wedding was funded by the bride’s parents. However, it is my observation that now, in some cases, the bride and groom and the groom’s [...]

In case anyone has missed me, I am still here. I have been working on my web site this week. All I can say is WOW! I can’t believe I have come from being a simple email user to having a web site in only a couple months.

You, of course, will have to customize it to your engagement time and other circumstances. For instance, if you and your daughter live in separate cities, [...]

Just a couple more of my favorite Mary Kay products that I want you to consider adding to your skin care routine. Day and Night Solution, and the Microdermabrasion Set.
The Day Solution, with an SPF of 25, helps prevent lines and discoloration by blocking UVA/UVB rays and a calming peptide helps relax expression lines. And [...]

I found a pilates video and an exercise ball that I actually got as a Mary Kay star consultant several years ago.  They are in great condition–just like brand new–due to lack of use:)  So I’ll be trying it out later today.  Stay tuned for my report.
Diet and exercise are long term commitments both for your health [...]

Today I’d like to talk about how you will look the day of the wedding. Yes, I know that the wedding is a year or more away unless your Starry Eyed Daughter is like mine and wants to have her wedding in 8 months.
Remember, on the day of the wedding YOU won’t be the one [...]
