She Inspires Me

December 3 2010, Lauren Scruggs stepped off a small private plane after a flight to view holiday lights from the sky and her whole world changed forever! Lauren accidentally stepped in to the line of the propeller and her NEW journey began! It was all over the news, both local and national, how a young (23 years old) model had been injured. When I first heard about the accident, my only thought was, how does someone deal with such a loss? 

A few days later I received a phone call asking me if I would emcee a fundraiser for Lauren and before they could completely get the question out I said YES! I couldn't wait to do something, no matter how small, to help this young woman and her family. Lisa Kimbell had heard Lauren's story too and like me, couldn't wait to help! She immediately called people in the community to start organizing a huge fundraiser. A few days later, it was ALL set~ 

"An Event For Lauren" created by The Kimbell Agency to be held at Sambuca360 in Plano and hosted by a few FABULOUS local celebrities like~

Burton Gilliam from Blazing Saddles
Styling Steve Kemble ~ America's Sassiest Guru
Ira Terrell~ Former Professional Basketball Player
Jody Dean~ KLUV 98.7 Morning Host
Danielle Vollmar, Host of Eye Opener on CW33
Lisa Petty from DFW Style Daily &
Rich Emberlin from Dallas SWAT TV Show 

The evening was absolutely breathe taking. Everyone, I mean EVERYONE, in the media was there to cover the event. It was an outpouring of support for Lauren and her family. Here's a clip from The Today Show and People Magazine's Coverage on the day after the event~

Since that night, if I ever find myself feeling like I can't, I STOP and think of Lauren and suddenly~ I am INSPIRED once again! You can keep up with Lauren's recovery on her mothers blog on caring bridge at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/laurenscruggs and don't forget to keep up with Lauren at her fashion blog site, http://lolomag.com/. She inspires me!

This Concealer ROCKS!

A very long time ago I was addicted to Shu Uemura's concealer and when they decided to cancel making it... well YOU could imagine! I was in a total panic! Until one bright day my darling friend, Marie Reyes (owner of SkinSpaMed) showed me the ColorCorrect concealer by Dallas' own Susan Posnick. I LOVED IT! It was shaped like the one I had and the colors matched my skin tone perfectly. In case you wanted to know, I'm a C1. Now I sit, fingers crossed, that Susan never stops making it!

 Here's how her website describes this miracle stick~

COLORCORRECT- 

a dual ended brightening/correcting pencil in a revolutionary cream formula-the perfect complement to COLORFLO, in shades to match every skin tone.

• Use C1 with COLORFLO shades M1-M5
• Use C2 with COLORFLO shades M5-M8
• Use C3 with COLORFLO shades M8-M11
• Use C4 with COLORFLO shades M9-M13

 BENEFITS: 

Brightener (lighter color on the left) fills in under eye area and softens lines on the face. Highlights cheek and brow bones. Use just outside of the lip line to create fuller lips. Corrector (warmer color on right) neutralizes discolorations on the lid and underneath the eye, and camoflages imperfections, sunspots and redness.

Want to know where to find these "gems" I can't live without? Well, luckily she has her very own website where you can order them from and they are only $22 a piece! A real steal when you are trying to cover something up! Check out her whole line at http://www.susanposnick.com/ and let us know what YOU think! Happy concealing!!
