Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Fundraiser - July 30, 2011

-


I hate cancer, don't you? I love wine, don't you?


I am hosting my very first fundraising event at my home in Brentwood, CA to help raise funds in support of finding a cure for breast cancer. My group of friends and family, consisting of TEAM LAGADE, will be participating in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on October 1, 2011 in Stockton, California. Our team goal is $1,500.

We walk for our Aunt Virginia Saguing who is in remission. We walk for our late cousin, Natalie Nobida, who continues to watch over us since May 26, 2010. I walk for Maureen Withrow, a wonderful woman we lost earlier this year. I also walk for my friends and family who have not been diagnosed and for the same reason I do the AIDS Walk, I will continue to walk to help AVOID a positive diagnosis.

On July 30th, a very good friend will be providing some delicious wine by J. Lohr Vineyards, plus many other wineries to add a twist to general wine tasting. Prepare your palate, Wine Lovers.
I will have my gorgeous Stella & Dot jewelry displayed and offering discounts to sponsors. (See below)
Raffle tickets will be sold for $3 or two for $5. Raffle prizes include:
- Gift Cards
- Bare Mineral Products
- Wellness International Products
- The Awaken Sea Salt Scrub by Arbonne and additional samples valued at $40
- A BeTEEZed Product
- An up-do session by published Hair Stylist, Justina Downs, who will also be at the event


- An autographed photo of the beautiful Sarah Michaels, star of The Bad Girls Club (Season 3), Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too (Season 1) and from Playboy

- A 2-hour photo session with Bay Area photographer, Danielle Stolman, of Not So Still Life. All photos on a DVD. Valued at $300.
- And many more!

I will have light snacks, music, croquet in the front yard and it's expecting to be nice and warm in Brentwood. Please come by with a friend and support a great cause. I look forward to seeing you! Please email me for my contact info.

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a
