Sooooo last week we had a Botox party at my wonderful sponsor, Celebrity Spa and Laser Center. It was great! They offer of course more then just Botox.....they offer Laser hair-removal which I am a very pleased recipient of and massage, facials, microdermabrasion....Plus they also offer vein-treatments, permanent make-up....The food and wine was perfect and it was the perfect setting for a fun ladies night out! Plus we also had Haute off the Rack there with some really cute designer shirts and jewelry!!!

Thanks to Dr. Shimer and the ladies at Celebrity Spa and Laser Center - it was great experience!

Okay ditto for The Lash Lounge at The Shops at Legacy! They offered a silent auction item for the Boys and Girls Clubs Chrysalis Gala. Their lashes are amazing!!!! No more false lash strips and goopey glue. These are beautiful lash extensions...that make you look and feel glamorous! I love my sponsors! Could they be any more generous? I feel honored to have them in my life - they are willing to do so much for so many! Thank you Lash Lounge!!!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! One of my wonderful sponsors, Clothes Circuit, was so generous as to offer a very generous donation for the upcoming Boys and Girls Clubs of Collin County's Chrysalis Gala! As an auction and sponsorship committee member this year for the annual gala, I have the opportunity to really make an additional impact for the BGCCC. Speaking to businesses in the local community about the how the BGCCC impacts and helps mold the future of so many children in our community is awesome! Having generous and warm-hearted people such as Irene Mylan and the ladies of Clothes Circuit is what makes all the difference!

Don't forget to visit www.Clothescircuit.com and of course if you are in the area (NW Highway and Sherry Lane) shop, shop, shop for the latest in amazing upscale resale items (my last steal of a deal included: Michael Kors, Ann Taylor, BCGC and Harolds).

WOW! As if spending my time in Las Vegas for the national pageant wasn't enough of an amazing experience for me.....I met David Beckham! I was asked to do the honorary coin toss at the FC Dallas vs. LA Galaxy game at Pizza Hut Park last night and woohoo.....hello Mr. Beckham!

Here's the scoop....

I walked out on the field with a ball boy by the name of Adam (he was so nervous and kept asking me questions about the official coin flip, so I let him do it). As the captains came out, David Beckham immediately shook my hand, Adam's and then our FC Dallas captain's and refs. Poor Adam was so nervous he quickly flipped the coin behind him and David Beckham said "I didn't know who was tossing when" so the ref granted another toss. This time little Adam tossed the coin directly above Beckham and it landed on his chest tails up(he couldn't see it) and had called heads, so FC Dallas got to choose. Once again several hand shakes and my right hand was planted firmly in David Beckham's again for a final "good luck"! WOOHOO! Not too many get the honor and soooooo I'm feeling pretty amazingly lucky!
