HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

Friday, May 7th, 2010

This week I was invited to a Mother’s Day Breakfast at my daughters’ school. It’s a yearly event in which mothers join their kids in their classrooms and are reminded why being a mom is so special.

My daughters both sang to me, drew pictures of why they love me, made special bracelets and even served me breakfast.

My younger daughter also gave me the most beautiful red rose I have ever seen.  As I held this rose and looked into my daughter’s eyes, I was reminded once again of how beautiful life is.

My grandmother once told me in spanish; “la vida no te da felicidad, la vida te da momentos felices.” In other words, “life will not bring you happiness, it will bring you  happy moments to remember.”  Being with my girls that morning in school was a MOMENT for me.

May this Mother’s Day bring you a wonderful moment to remember.

Kristy.

YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD

Monday, January 4th, 2010

I realized the other day that YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD to try something new.  And boy did I try something different.

I was invited to meet the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders as they practiced their dancing routine. Not only did I get to learn their moves, but I also got a humbling invitation to dress just like them…..yep, you guessed it, I wore one of those  tiny, teeny outfits. 

At first, I was skeptical. My mind kept racing.  (”am i crazy? this skirt is too tiny. my tummy will show.  I am too old.  They are all so young.  I am twice their age.)

So then I thought, “let me try it on and see how it looks.”  

I must have stared in the mirror for what seemed like a lifetime.  I was remembering my days in high school when I was a cheerleader on the sidelines. I was wondering how my husband would react if I got home wearing this. And then reality hit me and I panicked. I panicked because I was about to face 38 cheerleaders between the ages of 18-24.  All beautiful, young, and loaded with collagen. 

Did I back out? NO. I said what the heck! You only live once! And then with a chuckle and a big smile, I walked out proud…. “let me give these young girls something to look forward to when they get to be my age!”

I had the time of my life!

WRINKLE AWAY

Monday, November 9th, 2009

So after seeing that “unwanted visitor” on my face (THE WRINKLE – please refer to previous blog story for details), I decided to take action. I got a facial.  (By the way,  I’m not crazy about facials.  It’s hard for me to sit still for a long period of time.)  Nonetheless, the cause was a good one. 

I woke up at 6am this morning and headed off to my 7:30am appointment.  I needed to be the FIRST customer of the day. It made me feel that the faster I got there, the easier it would be to erase it.

So, I will say it was a very relaxing experience.  The creams, the mask, the massage on my face….all a treat. Did it delete the wrinkle? NO. It’s STILL there.  But it did smooth it out a bit.  To the point that it doesn’t bother me anymore. Let’s just say that it’s not as PRONOUNCED anymore. 

Beth even commented that my face looks “fresher”.  She’s even thinking of getting a facial with my lady.  I told her, “you don’t need one.”   Beth is 32 and I’m 42.  She needs NO facial.. She’s still producing plenty of collagen!!!!! I envy her skin!
