Sharon Bassett Foundation
On Friday evening we were invited to attend a Parrot Party in Carmel, Indiana at the Irsay Pavillion. It sounded like fun so accepted the invitation and boy am I glad we did. What an amazing group of individuals. The Sharon L. Basset Foundation is an organization that helps families in Indiana and Illinois living with breast cancer. The Foundation began as a small fund in 2001 to honor an amazing woman who, while battling breast cancer herself, stopped at nothing to help others as they lived with breast cancer. To learn more about this amazing organization visit their website at www.sharonbassett.org
So I have to tell you how we received our invitation. Brenda, who is one of Sharon Bassett's nieces and one of the organizers of the Parrot Party went to have a manicure done, in Illinois where she lives, for this event. While there Brenda was telling her manicurist the she does not have manicures regularly but this was a special event. As she told her manicurist about the foundation the manicurist asked her if she had ever heard of Hello Gorgeous! Brenda said that she had not but she would look us up. She did and sent me an e-mail, we were in Indianapolis and made it work. It turned out that the Illinois manicurist learned about us at the America's Beauty Show in Chicago. How cool was that!! What a Blessing it was for us to be invited.
Kim Zabrowsky and Trisha Potter came down to Indy to be with us for the event. They brought a little bit of HOME to me!!

Cool Meeting!
Last Thursday we took the day to celebrate Seth's birthday. We had a meeting with Hamilton Town Center to discuss details for the surprise on Sunday and then we took Seth to look at the movies that were playing. Mike's cell phone rang and I answered it "Hello Gorgeous!" as I always do. A voice on the other phone said " My name is Paula and we are in front of a movie theatre in Noblesville, Indiana and we just saw your bus and we are with a group of 30 missionaries and we think what you are doing is awesome and we will be praying for you" I of course started to cry and asked them about their location and told them we were in the bus and we wanted to meet them.
We found out this amazing couple, who's names are Paula and Scott were celebrating their anniversary and that they are from California. They were on a 6 month tour with young Christian musicians ministering to the youth. They told us about their project, we showed them the Mobile Day Spa and told them about what we do.
The coolest thing was that we stood in front of the movie theatre and prayed together. We wished them well and promised to friend each other on facebook. What a Divine connection. It was great.

Busy Week
Well it has been a busy week and I can not believe that tomorrow is already Friday. I have said all along I am going to blink and this tour will be over and I DO NOT want it to end.
Monday we headed back to Elkhart due to what we thought was generator problems, but they said it was working great. On Tuesday we woke up to a shattered window on the Mobile Day Spa so we found a place in Fort Wayne that fixed it for now for us. On Thursday My Baby Boy turned 8! I can not believe that he is 8! Where did the time go? Wasn't it just yesterday I found out I was pregnant? We took Seth to see Toy Story 3. Great for him, I know that this will surprise most of you ..... I cried at the movie!!! We went to Chili's for Dinner and swam until they kicked us out of the pool. It was a great day that I will always cherish, we made great memories and we spent the day together as a family.

A vist for a special MOM!
Fort Wayne , Indiana was the site of Phyllis Nelson's visit, a very special mom. Phyllis was nominated by her daughter Pam, who happens to be our website GURU. From the first time I met Pam 2 years ago, I wanted to give her mom a special day with Hello Gorgeous!
Phyllis was diagnosed with Mesothelioma in February 2008. Mesothelioma is a Cancer of the Pleurisy (the lining) of the lung. She has gone through Surgery and Chemotherapy. Phyllis has felt very good through her treatment and worked full time at a local high school until 6 months ago. Phyllis is 75!
We pampered Phyllis with spa services, Manicure, Pedicure, Facial and a Haircut. We finished off with a makeup application and a new blouse.
Phyllis's 5 children and their families were awaiting her new look. They a greeted her with a big "Hello Gorgeous!" and hosted a family party for her at her son Eric's home.
A great big thank you to Phyllis's family for a very special day. We now know why she is so special to you!

Another Gorgeous! Surprise
Linda was disappointed to see on the WSBT 11:00 pm news that we had chosen a winner and that it was not her. She had mentioned this to her sister Patty as they sat at Applebees on Ireland Road in South Bend on Tuesday evening. Unbeknownst to her, we were in the parking lot waiting for her to arrive so that we could pamper her as well. We surprised Linda and escorted her into our Mobile Day Spa and started her session with a clothing consultation with Trisha from Dress Barn in
Erskine Village where they generously donated a $100.00 gift card to gift to Linda for a stunning new outfit. Trisha quizzed her on her likes and dislikes then she and Patty were off to shop.
Linda told us that she had been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma shortly after her twins were born. Linda went on maternity leave, her position was eliminated from Honeywell, she was diagnosed and, shortly after that, her husband lost his job. Linda was told that they would have to wait for her cancer to get worse before she could be treated. Needless to say Linda met everyone needs before her own.
We pampered Linda with a facial, manicure, pedicure, hilites, a new haircut and makeup. She looked like she felt .....amazing. We told Linda that we were on a time crunch because she had people waiting for her. We escorted her down the red carpet and asked everyone in Applebees to give Linda a big
"HELLO GORGEOUS!" She was very surprised to see 25 of her family members and closest friends waiting to celebrate her new look. It was wonderful to see her beam. What a great night!

The Gorgeous Endeavor Kickoff Party
What a great evening at Granite City at University Park Mall!! Tracy couldn't have been more surprised, especially when she found out that even the doctors office was involved in delaying her so that she would arrive on time.
Tracy was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in December 2009 while her husband was deployed. This came after her mother was in a terrible car accident that left her needing to be cared for by Tracy. ( Her mother is fine now and came to Tracy's reveal party.)
Tracy was treated to a facial by Trish, The staff from JCPenney's styling salon, Peggy, Penny and Grace came to the Mobile Day Spa to pamper Tracy with a Manicure, Pedicure, Haircolor and Makeup. Mira from Bangs Salon ( who is Tracy's Stylist) gave Tracy a haircut. Kim and Kim from JCPenney's came with a rolling rack of clothes to outfit Tracy with a sassy new look.
Tony from Purrfect Occasions was inside Granite City playing the perfect party music to the 100 plus people that were waiting patiently to see Tracy's new look.
The Hello Gorgeous! volunteers were in full force as were students from Regency Beauty Institute, selling t-shirts and introducing strangers to our wonderful cause.
The big moment came. Everyone shouted "Hello Gorgeous!" and in walked our Gorgeous! Women Tracy. She was shocked to say the least at the number of people that came out to celebrate her and her victory over cancer.
