Welcome to the
“Beautiful Woman Inside and Out” Event
It’s Gonna Be Fabulous!
Dear Beautiful Women,
I am so very honored that you have chosen to join us for the first of our 2012 “Beautiful Woman Inside and Out” events! We have a day that is planned to empower, enrich and truly impact your lives! It is up to YOU to take full advantage of the day, let your hair down and take a great big deep breath! You DESERVE a day just for YOU! We address the WHOLE woman at our events in a climate of fun, relaxation, extravagance and pampering. My team desires that each registrant has a great time, but we also want you to walk away with “nuggets” for life. Learn how to apply makeup, but also know that you need a great “canvas” and this includes taking great care of your skin. I want you to be engaged with the experts as they share hair tips, fashion advice and tell you how to keep it all together. However, we ask that you also realize that your body must be fit and that it is bigger than wearing the size “6”. I don’t care if you’re a size 0 or 26, you ARE beautiful! Don’t let society tell us what we must look like, it is not just a “look”; you should FEEL good and be HEALTHY! Women must commit to a healthier lifestyle which provides the fertile soil of developing and maintaining inner and outer beauty. “Beautiful Woman Inside and Out”, speaks to the total woman! The goal of this event is to bring the right ingredients together to enhance your life by focusing on your “outer” and “inner” appearance. Saturday, August 4, 2012 is a day that we celebrate, motivate and empower you to move forward. We hope to provide you with the fuel to keep it going. My Sisters, today we’ve put a lot of thought, energy and hard work into this event and we did it just for YOU! You are just that important to Me! Please don’t miss this opportunity and please be “selfish”; focus on YOU and what YOU need to do to achieve the beauty that you desire. You will find that it’s not in the latest lipstick color; it really does reside in YOU! Talk with the experts, participate in the sessions, visit our vendors, laugh with your sisters and have a great day! In closing, I say from my heart that it is my life’s mission to try to help people along their journey; I want YOU to LIVE your BEST LIFE, as I try to live mine. I’ve dedicated my life to empowering people, particularly women, and trying to push them to the next level while “keeping it real”. You’re the BEST so I bring you the BEST; fasten your seat belt and enjoy the ride!
Dr. Sharon
With Love,
