I volunteer with one of the most incredible foundations that moves me to another level in my heart. To bring beauty and joy to those who are terminally ill and their caregivers. It is rewarding, sad and joyful all at the same time. Today I went to see Lili and her mother Lillia who’ve Ive cut and styled before at a pop up event, and I adored them from the word hello. Truth be told I adore, admire and respect all the people I help make feel special. Beautiful. Words cannot express. For house visits you always go with a “beauty buddie” They handle the psychology going on, the paperwork that needs to be signed, they bring a bag full of goodies from face creams to gels to nail polish. They’re like a beauty santa psychologist. I couldn’t do it with out them. Thank you to my beauty buddie Patti , a short haired firecracker that just makes the energy all around you calm, serene, and joyful. She has that gift . Everyone she is in near proximity feels bliss.
I started with the mom first, Lillia. She had long beautiful locks, but needed a short pixie so it’s easier to manage. Ahh….Pixies? My favorite haircut. When I was finished it looked so good I want to cut my hair shorter again. To be honest I had that same haircut a year ago and loved it. More important, she loved it!
On to my darling Lily. She had long locks. They were hard for her to manage. So I cut her into a classic bob. she wore it so lovely.
We shared stories, we gave love, we listened, and we made these two woman so happy and special. I can speak for myself and Patti, we felt special too.
