We all have wounds.  Some bigger than others.  Often we justify our actions, behaviors, etc. based on these wounds and then wonder why we continue to live the same life.  Stagnant!  Reliving the past hurts and pains day in and day out.  We allow it to control our lives and define it.  It becomes comfortable . . . miserably comfortable! "Often it is the deepest pain that empowers you to grow into your highest self" Let's face it, most of life is justifiable in one way or another.  Does that make it right?  No way. . . We all have a choice.  Unless your boss is holding a gun to your head, your lover with a knife to the throat, or a road way full of mines-WE HAVE A CHOICE!  We can continue to run and shove the mistakes, heartache, and dark parts of ourselves under the bed; or we can face them head on without excuses and justification. “The eyes are useless if the mind is blind.” The biggest problem I see in justificati...

Every little bit helps Founder, Chris Williamson & his team to bring aide to those affected around the world by devastation and hard times.

Are you tired of guessing whether your vitamins and/or supplements are working?  About 57% of people who invest in a normal regimen of supplements are throwing their money away.  The lack of research and quality materials in many supplements today can actually be hurting us more than it is helping us.  Consumer Labs just found that 62% of Supplement Manufacturing Sites did not pass FDA in one way or another. If I am going to spend money every month on supplements, I want to know that they work.  I finally found something that is back by research and has science based results.  Yes, I was skeptical!  But after suffering over a decade from folliculitis and adult acne; I am confident to say, "I have new skin."  I am just one of thousands who is a result.

In my early to mid-20s, I developed problem skin.  I never had this issue even in my teens.  I tried some of the cheaper brands first: Noxema, Clean & Clear, Cetaphil, etc.  These products either made it worse or did nothing but dry my skin out with constant break outs.  The next step was trying the more expensive products like Dermalogica, Sanitas, IS Clinical, etc.  I had the same results as with the cheaper brands.  I did find that Yes To and Simple products helped a little more without overly drying my skin out as well as the occasional facial.  I felt hopeless until. . . Fast forward a decade-I was introduced to Melaleuca by a woman whom worked with another high level supplement company.  I was skeptical because, let's face it, there are hundreds of MLMs out there claiming some sort of miracle, niche, or fad that is usually short lived.  It also drives people to get you signed up just for an extra buck or two. I don't like that pre...

The works suits average $1000-$1200 Basic suits start at about $135-$175 Want to compete?  You have heard that it can be pricey but might be a little blindsided by exactly what details will cost to get you looking your best on stage. C heaper is NOT better :  Many people look for a bargain when it comes to getting ready for the stage.  Cutting costs on any part of getting stage ready can leave you wasting money.  I have seen my fair share of make-up gone wrong, suits not fitting correctly, awkward posing, and tans too light. Do your research :  Look through their portfolio.  Do not hesitate to contact them and ask a ton of questions.  Find someone who fits your style.  Not all designers, MUAs, trainers, etc will see your vision nor are all of them well versed in what belongs on stage. Registration Fees :   $75-$300 - depending on what show you are doing, local or national, the fee for each class is required. NPC C...
