First Gorgeous! Experience at Creative Edge Salon and Spa Mishawaka, Indiana.

Creative Edge Salon has graciously accepted our invitation to be the 1st Hello Gorgeous! Affiliate in Mishawaka and we are very proud to have them as apart of the Hello Gorgeous! Family. On March 19th, 2011 Creative Edge performed their first Hello Gorgeous! Experience in their salon.

Anita arrived at Creative Edge in Mishawaka not knowing why she was there. The team at Creative Edge was anxiously waiting for her to arrive. When Anita walked in the door she walked onto a red carpet and was greeted with candy , flowers and a big Hello Gorgeous!

Anita was treated to a manicure, a pedicure, a facial, a new wig, a new outfit and her make-up applied. When she was all done we had one more surprise for her, we had a party planned at Applebee's in her honor. There we more than 35 people waiting to see Anita's new look.

Anita was nominated by her brother, who lives in Arkansas. He came to Indiana for her special day. Anita also has 2 very special daughters who spent her day with her which made it that much more special for her!

Thank you Creative Edge Team for making Anita feel like a queen!!!

"Help me Help Others"

On February 7th I recieved and e-mail titled "Help me help others" I was intrigued and opened the e-mail only to find one of the most couragous women I have ever met.

Danielle wrote me to tell me her story. She explained in the e-mail that she was a 32 year old stay at home mom to a wonderful son named Dylan. She told me that 8 days after Dylan was born she was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of cervical cancer called Limited Small Cell Neuro Endocrine Carcinoma. This cell is typically found in lung cancer patients but hers was found in her cervix . Danielle had 12 rounds of chemo and a Hysterctomy berfore Dylan was 13 weeks old.

Dylan will be 3 in April and Danielle is CANCER FREE!! She was given our website address by a friend but had actually seen the bus on Highway 37 last year when we were on tour in Noblesville. After reading this e-mail from this amazing woman I contacted her and told her that I needed to meet her in person, if nothing else just to give her a hug. Last week on our trip to Noblesville we did meet and we shared a very tearful hug and sat and chatted for nearly 3 hours. What an inpirtational woman, someone who wants to take what they have been through and what they have learned from her experience to help others. We told her that we would help her in any way that we knew how. I am honored to know Danielle and I am a better person for knowing her.

Valentin's Day 2011

As most of you know our mission is to provide complimentary make-overs to all women battling all cancers. That is our 1st love. Our second love is to help children. For the last 3 years we have gone to the pediatric floor at Memorial Hospital to give the children in the hospital a Valentine's Day Party. We take cookies to decorate with all the fixxins', we paint nails and toes, we even apply temporary tattoos and this year we even did some face painting. What a joy to put a smiles on these little faces.
A great big thank you to all of our volunteers that came and helped us this year!! You are the best!!
