Happy Anniversary!



This weekend I celebrated my 1 year anniversary with MY Maria :) You CARE! I know you do. 

Anyway, we started our day off vending at the Brookville Tennis Club Health Fair.  It was AWESOME.  Very informative.  Lot's of very important facts that most women my age do not know about. 

  • I learned that Ovarian Cancer is not detectable.  There is no test for it!  
  • I learned that about 90% of women in my age bracket (28-30) find lumps in their breast.  Does not mean it is Cancerous, could be a fibroid, calcium build up, a benign cyst or lumpy tissue.  Still, if you find a lump, it is best to get it checked out right away.  
  • I learned that you MUST get a paps test every year until about 75-80 years old!
  • This was the most interesting...  I learned that there has been an increase in STD's with senior citizens.  Men ranging 60-70 are having sex with prostitutes and contracting STD's.  This is why a Paps is suggested for women until 75-80 years old. I can't believe that anyone would be having sex at that age but.. yea.  
  • I learned that once your child becomes sexually active they are to have their first paps.  Either the age of sexual activity OR 21.
All in all, it was a very informative event.  After the anniversary we went to dinner and spent some time with my mother.  Perfect day to celebrate a perfect year with the Love of my Life :)

Get into Tanny's Couture!





There has been an influx of entrepreneurs lately.  People has learned the formula to running a successful small business.  Social Media has made it easy to create your fan base, network your product, and make sales in a matter of seconds!  If you have an instagram account, its not hard to come across users who use their account solely to post pictures of their items to entice others.  That's how I came across "Tanny's Couture."

Tanny has some AWESOME pieces and the prices are even better!  Most of you know I make it a strong point of mine to support up coming businesses (Via the Creativity Chip Mixer)
Not to mention Tanny is completely professional and accommodating.  She is responsive to ALL inquiries and she offers FAST SHIPPING!!

Meet Maria! Owner of Beads of Hope


Beads of Hope began just 1 month ago shortly after Maria Gilbert's mother had her breast cancer removed.  When her mother was diagnosed with cancer she felt helpless and lost.  She began making beaded bracelets as a distraction from her mother’s illness, and then she realized that by selling the bracelets she can help families in similar situations to hers.  She decided to make a pledge to the American Breast Cancer Foundation to sponsor a biopsy for someone in need.  Her mother is fortunate to have insurance but there are many out there who cannot afford lifesaving tests.  A cancer diagnosis is very devastating, but not being able to pay for care is worse.  She thanks God for her mother’s prognosis.  Luckily the cancer was found early and removed.  The biggest challenge she has faced with Beads of Hope is dealing with her own emotions.  There are times when she does not want to do anything but she forces herself to get up because she has a bracelet to make. By making these bracelets she can possibly save someone’s life.  Remembering this is her motivation and the best part of what she is doing.   She is most thankful for the support from friends, family and the community.  In the future, she would like to do some outreach, community service projects and other types of fundraising.  She would also like to focus on the family of cancer patients.  Want to contact Beads of Hope?
