A message from Elissa’s daughter Benita 

I always knew my mom was one very amazing person but that was from my perspective.  She absolutely loved being involved with her friends and community and you were a huge part of my mom’s life! She truly gained so much pleasure from being a part of your group and from what I hear, the feeling was mutual!  I would like to personally invite and be very honored if someone from your group would not only come to represent  but would also speak a few words about my mom and her involvement with DWR.  Also, If there are any photos or videos that you would like for us to show at the event, you can either send them to CelebratingElissa@gmail.com or we can play a slide show via a flash drive or computer/iPad as well.  (I am trying to show and see as many sides of my mom as possible at the event….I miss her so much!)

DWR Spiritual/Well-being Workshop

Part One & Two

February 8, 2021

 

Ready to learn about Chakras? Narayani aka Dorothy Wilkins and Solange "Sally" Skyer will share their knowledge about Chakras in two separate workshops!

February 20, 2021, is National Love Your Pet(s) Day! Join us for a relaxing fun time sharing your pets and your fun pet stories on zoom!  DWR looks forward to meeting your precious pets! RSVP via email address below now! 

Hello DWR Members/Non-Members/Community!

My name is Barbara Stanislow. I am a Sales Consultant for Lemongrass Spa where we sell natural, organic, gluten-free products that are safe for our skins.  We have products from skincare, body care, health care, sensitive skincare & even essential oils.

The month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and LGS is honoring that and I want to too.  Our October Specials have awesome cute products for LIMITED time only until the end of this month.

By doing that, I would love to DONATE 15% OF MY SALES to DWR for DWR’S Hope of Basket. Sally Solange preps the basket and hands them to the cancer receipt.

Your support would be appreciated for those in your families/friends who have survived or currently have cancer and it will be a great gift!

The Healing Element (Pink) does wonders to your skin!  It smells great, a light peony floral scent!  For this, it’s $15 dollars and $2 goes to the Breast Cancer Foundation.  The mirror compact & pink concealer is $20.  The concealer helps your tired eyes look more radiant and you get to bring the mirror with you wherever you go! (see attachments)

If you are interested to support a great cause, Please use this shopping link:

At the check-out, BE SURE you click “Ship to You” so it goes directly to you, not to me, especially if some of you live out of town.

If you have questions or need help with the orders, you can find me on FB messenger under Barbara Worek Stanislow, or Text me 585 200 4167 or VP 585 643 6716.

Thank you in advance for supporting DWR! STAY WELL!
