Thank you to all of you who entered this fun giveaway! I am also grateful to hear about who is the “citizen of beauty” in your life. It’s important to stop, recognize, and honor those who have made an impact in our lives. But in addition to that, it is also important to identify what makes you a beautiful person. It seems that we can often recognize the beauty in another, but we fail to see the unique beauty we are. I am not just talking about physical beauty, but the one that makes people truly enjoy your company!
If you all feel so inclined, I would love to hear more about who your “citizen of beauty” is, or how you believe you are one! Have a lovely day!

She was able to give 3 children a home and family that would have otherwise grow up alone and in (most likely) poverty. She loves being a mom, and now grandmother. She has always been there for me and helped me through many difficult times in life. She has survived skin cancer and most recently uterine cancer. She had to have her uterus removed. She as strong and beautiful as she always has been and I admire her for not letting the cancer beat her down emotionally.”-Bonnie

Because of the severity of her burns she struggled to give birth to two beautiful girls having several miscarriages in between, and she pursued her life long dream of becoming a barber! when she was five she went with her dad to his barber and said thats what she wanted to be when she grew up and he said “silly girl, women can’t be barbers!” so when she was grown she became a cosmetologist, and then went on to be the greatest barber ive ever known! she has always been there for me basically raised me and she always taught me the importance of looking good by taking care of my skin and hair, how to properly put on makeup, and never giving up on your dreams. ive been a cosmetologist for two years and working under her at at her shop “rebel barber shop” in natchez ms. she is 72 yrs old and says she will never retire! she says when she dies she will be buried with her barber chair, and she will die doing what she loves!.she is such an inspiration to me and i love her so much and if i win this…ill give her a makeover!!!” -Melly
