OUT OF AFRICA

Our family just returned from a two week long, trip of a lifetime tour through South Africa and surrounding areas.  So many amazing places we feel fortunate enough to see with our own eyes- starting with a beautiful game lodge at Sabi Sands National Park called Singita, Boulders, where our personal guide Sipho and our tracker Luis, had us up close and personal with giraffe, zebras, lions, cheetah and even witnessed leopards mating.
                                                                                                               
                                                                                 
                                                                                 
In Cape Town we received invaluable knowledge from our tour guide Gerald Potash on Cape Town's history and beauty.  We rode the cable car up to the top of Table Mountain and were rewarded by it's stunning views.  We enjoyed multiple Wine Farms in the scenic Franschhoek and Stellenbosch villages, among my favorites were Chamonix, Graff, and Ernie Els for their delicious selections and gorgeous wineries~
                                                                                 
                                                                                 
In Zambia we went to the breathtaking Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world.  Never have I felt so close to god, when witnessing this waterfall.  An incredible sight of nature to behold and even more special was to see for the first time ever, a stunning rainbow in the shape of a large 360 circle.
We enjoyed elephant rides through the jungle and while at our lodge at The Royal Livingstone, zebra came calling outside our room.
                                                                                     

                                                                               
           

Even more special, was the fact that my husband Simmie who originally from South Africa, had not been back since he was 17 years old, shared his beautiful country with us.                                                          
It was without a doubt, a fabulous adventure and one our family will always treasure~

TAN ENHANCER

When it comes to tanning everyone knows I no longer am a sun worshipper, so I can use all the help I can get!  Already a fan of spray tans- (thanks Tan Bar Studio!! ) This product is PERFECTION for enhancing your skin with a bronzed glow and miraculously hiding any imperfections!!  By famed make-up artist, NAPOLEON PERDIS, the Whipped Dream Tan Enhancer.    

                                                                       
Applied like a rich lotion onto the skin, made with shea butter, almond oil and hazelnut oil, it's effect is magical giving your legs the "look" of wearing nude colored hose, but thankfully not having to!
THIS IS A SUMMER "MUST HAVE"~  
Unfortunately my teenage daughter stole mine, so I need another....Napoleon can you please hook me up!?!
                                                                HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

MY BREAST CANCER TEST

Breast Cancer is so much more prevelent in today's world......not a month goes by without hearing that someone I know received this life changing diagnosis.  When my dear friend Karla Jacoby was diagnosed 2 years ago with breast cancer it was such a shock to all of us, since she was considered a "low risk".
I was there to support her every step of the way, and was so very proud of Karla's strength throughout her journey in kicking breast cancer to the curb.
                                                                               
When her husband Dr. Eric Jacoby, a well known Dallas Ob/Gyn and also good friend, told me about the new BrevaGen test he was offering at his practice to determine through your DNA if you are at high risk for breast cancer, I said SIGN ME UP!
The test was quick and painless, and did I mention on live TV???  Click link below to watch~

                    WFAA, Channel 8 NEWS  
I really felt since I was also considered "low risk" this test was important for me to do, since I have very little family history to go by, I felt I was living with a false sense of security. 
We are back on the show tomorrow to announce my results- so

STAY TUNED~
