Sheri is an amazingly talented makeup artist from the Plutino Group in Toronto. She graciously accepted to speak at our final Live Laugh Learn for 2010 at lululemon in Toronto about feeling good on inside and out while going through and recovering from breast cancer.
Last night I went into Toronto to speak at a Rethink Breast Cancer event held at the Lululemon at Yonge and Eglinton. I was mainly supposed to address beauty concerns and issues during treatment (fellow AMAZING make-up artists from Plutino came to help out), but I began with a "brief" history of what I have gone through so far........... and learned something about myself that most of you probably already know: I can talk about myself for DAYS!!!!!!! LOL! My "brief synopsis" probably went on for a little too long, but eventually the gals in charge started asking questions and got me back on track (Thanks ladies!!! :) ). It was a wonderful night full of support, laughter, frustration and enlightenment (about cancer, lol), yummy apps and tea, and eyeshadow! I met some really amazing women (and girls! Way too young to have to go through this, it's nuts!) and we chatted the night away about skin care, false lashes, saving eyebrows, dry scalp, wigs, and new lip colours......along with fake boobs, chemo, reconstruction, drugs.........you get the idea.
I would like to send out huge thank-you's to: MJ and Farheen of Rethink Breast Cancer (and your whole TEAM!) who approached me to contribute to this event and let me drone on and on ;) you made me feel welcome and at-ease, THANK-YOU! , my dear friend and fellow colleague Jodi Urichuk for donating her time and talent along with Wendy and Natalie (also of Plutino) to give everyone beauty tips and tricks for during and after treatment, THANK-YOU!, the lovely ladies at "Melmira" on Yonge St. (a wicked bra and swimsuit shop that also deals with surgical 'issues', link below) THANK-YOU!, Lululemon for sponsoring the event and staying later than they probably thought they would have to, haha! THANK-YOU!, and to all of the girls who sat and listened to me and approached me (and the other artists) afterward to talk, THANK-YOU! You were all wonderful and I can't wait to come to another meeting and be part of the crowd!!!!!!!
