Livin' Like Your Nail Color!

More on that Escape...

Ever since I announced it on Tuesday I've been getting questions about the "Escape to St. Lucia" trip this May at the all-inclusive resort called "The Body Holiday at Le Sport." 

Does you body need a holiday?

Mine does and my mind does, too!  LOL!

I figured more of you have questions.  So I decided to host a Tell-All Call this coming Monday, April 14th at 7 pm Eastern with Sharon and Judi of Unforgettable Adventures so you can hear ALL the details and get ALL your questions answered.

My ever so efficient assistant Debbie just put the page up with all the dial-in info so check it out now:

Tell-All Call -- > www.GoBodacious.com/escape

Going to St. Lucia already sounds decadent, doesn't it?  I thought it would be mucho expensive to be decadent, but it's not.  I am sooo serious!

Then I was asked to come and do 2 sessions for women - whatever I wanted to do!  Stopped my beating heart I tell you.

So, in addition to everything else you can do at Le Sport, I'm hosting "Mimosas with Mary" on the beach and a "Live Like Your Nail Color Happy Hour"!  Not your average resort events to be sure.

If you have any interest in this adventure whatsoever, I strongly encourage you to make time this Monday at 7 pm Eastern to find out more. You'll be glad you did!

Again, here's where to get the dial-in info:

Here Are All 27 Of Bill’s Nail Colors!

On my travels over the last few weeks I was asked again and again about Bill’s bodacious birthday
surprise and especially about the nail color names you created for him.

Remember when I asked you to complete this sentence?

"Bill, if you wore nail color on your birthday it would be called...because...”

I shared several of them with you a few weeks ago, but here is ALL 27 of them - and who sent them in - for your viewing pleasure.  And they are a hoot!

If you ever have a chance to stay at or eat lunch at the Don CeSar Beach Resort in St. Petersburg Beach, FL do it!  The pink hotel right on the Gulf of Mexico beach is amazing.  We didn’t want to leave!

But, we did leave and head over to Cocoa Beach on the Atlantic ocean where Bill spent some misspent youth.

One big surprise was an unexpected get together with his sisters and their husbands.  Here they are goofing around after a night of fun!

Also while in Florida…here are some fun pics when I spoke at the Lakeland Downtown Chapter of American Business Women’s Association and at the “Be a Bodacious Woman…and Invest Like One” event at the Eaglebrook Country Club hosted by Kim Andreadis, Lakeland Investment Advisor.

Here I am celebrating Bodacious, Chico’s Women at the new Lakeland Chico’s store!  Have to say I bought this fabulous red and silver necklace that night I just love.

“Hello!  Are you living like your nail color?” I asked the sold out ABWA luncheon crowd.  Their enthusiasm gave me a resounding “YES!”

Gina, who owns a costume shop, dressed up like Mae West in honor of Bodacious Women everywhere!  I was so proud.

Remember that Chico’s red necklace I mentioned?  Kim Andreadis had to straighten it out to look right.  Bodacious Women need each other to look good!
