Wellness House Birthday Luncheon

Tons of ladies, and lots of men too, attended the Birthday Party Luncheon for Wellness House, a support system and a place to go for cancer patients and their families started by the amazing Cookie Beam 20 years ago. Wellness House has helped hundreds of women navigate their way through the terror of diagnosis, through treatment, and on to wellness.
And guess what? There was some style there, too...

Now this is real style: Marisa, who has just completed her treatment for lymphoma, was celebrating Wellness House's 20th birthday in a brown & white striped sweater, brown print hoodie with fleece lining, pearls, jeans, and best of all: her own glorious bald head. Be proud to be bald, Marisa! You earned it! Best of all, she is now cancer-free. And hair grows back.
One of the most important things a woman can remember when dressing is: length, length, length. It's all about the verticle, Baby. These two ladies really got it right: Judy has on a long black velvet coat which is perfect for this kind of weather, goes over anything, and has the added advantage of making her look slimmer and taller. Plus: fabulous black and white bag!

Karyn, who's already tall, adds to the visual effect with the verticle lines of the scarf. And lots of cool chunky jewelry, which she had just purchased there at the luncheon! Must have accessories, righto? That's what separates us from the lower species.


Happy Birthday, Wellness House. You do a lot of people a lot of good. Here's to another 20 years!
