Beauty and the Bride

As a wedding professional do you often get asked by your brides what should I do for my make up and my hair on the wedding day?  Or do you think my make up looks good now so that I can do it myself on the wedding day?   My friend does hair and make up and we are going to save a ton of money because she is doing it for free, as you glance over at her friend’s make up that she is referring to in sky blue eye shadow with red lipstick and hair matted with hair spray (all you can think about is, we are stuck in an 80’s nightmare!) Those are the questions that can make any wedding professional look like a deer caught in headlights.  But it does not have to be that way.  Once you sign your bride up to work with you as your client, have a checklist of the things that you will go over with the bride for instance selection of photographer, videographer, dress shopping and all the other needed services, but most important  have a category on your planning forms called health and beauty.  This is where you can discuss with your bride about proper nutrition so that she has the energy that is needed on the day of, exercise to help her look the best that she can, skin care with a professional esthetician and lastly professional hair and make up that will make her look natural but beautiful on the day of the wedding.

The Association of Bridal Consultants had the pleasure of hosting their meeting at Marilyn Monroe Spa.  At this meeting we had an opportunity to hear from each person that works at the salon to explain the process of taking care of the bride’s skin, hair, and nails in order to prepare for the wedding day.  One of the take aways that stood out was to not wait for the week before to start planning the regime of hair, make up and skin.  The bride’s skin should start preparation almost simultaneous to the day after engagement so that it does not become an expensive last minute process. As a wedding professional, feel comfortable talking about these beauty tips.  Don’t forget to discuss teeth whitening and tips to maintain those pearly whites.  One of my personal favorites, if you have to have that cola or tea, use a straw and do not swish your drink in your mouth, use whitening toothpaste and whitening mouthwash.  Lastly if you are going to preach beauty, as a wedding professional don’t forget to check your own after all, our clients look up to us to be the best that we can be.

Thank you to our sponsors that made our meeting a success at Marilyn Monroe Spa.

Spotlight On A Vendor …..Orlando Harpist Christine MacPhail

Today’s spotlight is on Christine MacPhail, Orlando Harpist.  Christine began playing the harp at age 6 and has been playing professionally in the Central Florida area for over 25 years. She enjoys playing a variety of music of all styles, from classical to contemporary, and always loves learning new songs and adapting them to the harp. Christine MacPhail When 27 Miracles interviewed Christine and asked why she wanted to get involved with The Gift of Life,her reply was ” I am honored to be helping Rosie to benefit A Story of Faith and Florida Hospital.  The story of her son Kaleb is inspirational and would touch anyone’s heart.  Rosie and the 27 Miracles Team are continually giving back to the community and I am privileged to be included at her charitable events.” ChristineMacPhailPic2 Christine and her harp bless many in the Central Florida area by playing at weddings, charity events and more…..Her music is very inspiring. When Baby Kaleb was born, Christine made a cd for him that to date he still listens to before bed.  The music was soothing to him during those long nights of hearing an oxygen concentrator all day and night.  He became so used to Christine’s music that when she played at Kaleb’s baby dedication, he immediately turned his head to Christine’s music. 061310 Kaleb's Baby Dedication at the First Baptist Church of Windermere

Today’s Spotlight is on Roque Productions

27 Miracles wants to recognize Andres Roque of Roque Productions.  Andres and his team are no strangers to working and giving back to the community.  That is in fact how Rosie Moore of 27 Miracles met Andres.  She was in need of vendors to work at the 27 Miracles Christmas Extravaganza in downtown Winter Garden.  Rosie did not know Andres but they met at a Bridal Show.  When Rosie emailed vendors for assistance in this event, Andres was the first to say, I will help.  This event was to raise funds and honor the Brides Against Breast Cancer, Toys for Tots and the Boys and Girls Club of Winter Garden.  With over 400 plus people attending the event, the night was a success on that cold December 2, 2010 weeknight.

After that Roque Productions has worked with 27 Miracles on various other community events, weddings and Quinces.   27 Miracles’ clients are always happy with the stellar work that they perform.

When we asked Andres why do you do what you do for the community, his reply “If you have the opportunity to get involved with The Gift of Life event, I really encourage you to do so. Over the past 4 years, we have worked with Rosie and the 27 Miracles team on numerous events for great causes.  They truly have their community’s best interest at heart and their drive to help others is admirable.  We are all called to help our neighbor and the events put together by 27 Miracles have become a great way for us to do so. “

Roque Productions is in the business of “Making It Happen” for their clients. Since the beginning, CEO Andrés Roque, made it a point for his clients to feel valued and this carries through the company. From the planning process to the post event wrap-up, you’ll understand that they are driven to go beyond. Sure, there are lots of companies that provide similar services, but the difference in how they provide these services can only be experienced.

Unsung Hero Gets Recognized

You might ask what is an unsung hero?

“An unsung hero is a role model whose generous acts of compassion, strength, selflessness, perseverance and, quite possibly, sacrifice make a profound and positive difference on the course of history.” Lowell Milken Center 

The other day A Story of Faith and 27 Miracles  brought you the story of Glenn Ferguson, a world-famous Caricaturist that is sponsoring  The Gift of Life event on September 13 2014.  If you missed his story, click on this link https://27miracles.com/2014/05/29/spotlight-on-glenn-ferguson-caricature-artist/

Glenn Pic 3

After the overwhelming response from readers that never knew he was a preemie and his dedication to this event, many became supporters of this very important fundraising event by purchasing tickets and becoming sponsors.  You can visit our website www.astoryoffaith.com to obtain more details.

Today A Story of Faith and 27 Miracles want to bring you another story on one unsung hero.  It is the daughter of Master Bridal Consultant Rosie Moore .   After the initial shock that a teenager receives that mom is having a baby, that was the start of a whirlwind change in her young teen age life. Kayla was 14 yrs old when Kaleb was born at 27 weeks weighing only 1lb and 10 oz.  A micropreemie born 13 weeks early.  Life still had to go on for Kayla despite the fact that her baby brother was clinging to life in the NICU.  Many days and nights of schedule changes, homework at the hospital, dinners out on the road and no family fun activities on the weekends due to trips to the hospital.  But she quietly helped to be supportive, although never knowing what was really going on.

DSC00617

DSC00859

Life care coaches at the hospital brought Kayla in to see the baby for the very first time in November when he was a little more stable in the step down NICU.  It was very shocking for a teen to see such a tiny baby all attached  to wires and machines supporting his life.  She was given the chance to hold him, but it was much to scary for her.

DSC00583

The weeks and months passed by and Kaleb was finally able to come home. Coming home, that is where more challenges came about. In March 2010, Kaleb came home to be on  18 different medication dosages, oxygen 24/7, apnea monitors at night, 2 types of breathing treatments every four hours, tube feedings every 3 hours, occupational, speech and physical therapists coming to the house daily, 2-3 drs appts every week.  Wow life was definitely not normal here . Kayla started to see the care that was involved in taking care of Kaleb.  Little by little she learned about his care and treatment.

DSC02588

DSC02631

In June 2010, Rosie, Marcus, Kayla and Baby Kaleb, planned a trip to  visit Marcus’ family in NJ.  Oh boy with all that Kaleb had going on, that sounds crazy.  All the necessary permissions were obtained to carry equipment on the flight.  Kaleb was weaned off the oxygen little by little so that he can sustain a 2 hour flight until he would be on the ground again to receive the oxygen. It was an interesting sight at the checkout counter with 8 carry on bags, 6 checked bags, stroller and car seat.  For three people and a baby wow, but Kayla helped all the way through with taking care of him. She learned how to do his breathing treatments and how to do his tube feedings and administer his medications.

Kayla feeding Kaleb

Today she is 19 years old and a college student at PBA studying Communications.  She is today’s unsung hero as she turned 19 years old yesterday and we remember her today for stepping up to the plate and helping a difficult situation be an easier situation.  Kayla helped  to take care of Kaleb whenever her parents had to do a wedding or event or just needed some down time to rest or relax.

Pearly Whites, Eyes, Skin and Healthy Glow on Your Wedding Day

We are back to our weekly blogs after a romantic week of Valentine’s Day Blogs!!!  Today is Modern Beauty Monday!  During the year the bride and groom prepare for the wedding getting everything just right so that their day is simply perfect!  But sometimes our couples get so caught up in everything, that they forget the one important thing, themselves.  The brides are the ones that take the biggest toll on their health overall.  They work full-time jobs, wake up early, drive in traffic, get home late, not enough time to cook so they grab fast food somewhere, stay up late pondering hours and hours over the many decisions involved in planning a wedding.  Wake up call comes early 4 hours later in the morning, grab coffee to stay awake, get to work, more coffee, lunch time comes, they may skip the meal because they may remember the fast food they after the night before so they skip a meal.  Then they crash about 2pm because they did not get the proper nourishment.  The end of the day, 5pm comes, it is time to rush out the door to meet a photographer , dj or videographer or venue shop or any number of vendors. Wow as I write this I am getting tired!!

Lastly, let’s not neglect those pearly whites.  What is the most important thing you want to do on your wedding day?  Why smile of course!!! But if you drink coffee, tea, colas, wine and dark liquids or smoke,  it tends to cause stains and yellowing of the teeth.  How do you fix these things, well see tip #3.

580056_10151036705274262_1361679573_n

 

Tip #3( see tip #2, this will help with selecting good drink choices)  Next, for your teeth get a  good cleaning and if possible ask your dentist about professionally getting teeth whitened.  Now once that is done, maintain them white by using a mouthwash that is teeth whitening when used twice per day( I am not endorsing any products, however a good one to try is Listerine  whitening, you see results pretty quick within two weeks if used regularly twice per day.)  You can recommend this to your bridal party, your parents and your groom. If you drink coffee, tea or colas, use a straw and don’t swish the drink in your mouth.  Takes a little getting used to drink coffee with a straw or to sip it gently but it can be done.

A smile says it all, share it on your wedding day, all day long.

Ashleigh and Jason Jan 23 2010 033

Well that is the beauty tips for you on Monday.

So to recap:

Tip #1/Call your planner for a free consult 407-905-5454

Tip #2/Call your health coach for a free consult 407-905-5454

Tip #3/See tip #2 and try the whitening products on the market and visit your dentist

Here is to a Happy Healthy Wedding Planning Season, as 27 miracles says, “your wedding day should be everything that you dreamed of….”

27 Miracles Countdown to Christmas Day 2

27 Miracles wants to share today’s countdown to Christmas advice:

“Wrap Happily”

“Wrapping gifts can be a real pain in the backside-especially if you do it on the floor, which strains the neck and lower back.  The more comfortable way to wrap is to stand on a mat in front of a counter top and wear good shoes,” says Chris Adams, a professional ergonomist.  Better Homes and Garden

Rosie Moore, Master Bridal Consultant was guilty of that year after year wrapping on the floor.  When she married Marcus, he noticed that on their first Christmas together and said, this is crazy to wrap sitting and bending over on the floor.  He pulled out their “use for all”  6 foot table and Santa’s Workshop was in business.  Guess who discovered that they had amazing gift box wrapping talent?  Yes sir, Mr. Marcus himself was very good at wrapping and he got the chief elf wrapper job every year after that.  While Rosie uses the gift bags (she did not tell him that she secretly hated wrapping gifts to begin with and if she could get away with a gift bag she would, lol!!!)

Anyway take care of your backs ladies and gentleman, you will need it for all the holiday dancing under the mistletoe!

Here is a picture of Rosie and Her son Kaleb having fun while taking the family Christmas pictures! Making Memories with family and friends is what Christmas is all about and celebrating the reason fro the season, the birth of our Savior!
