Royal Gems
How do I describe a gathering of 30 or so awesome women, sharing, laughing, giggling and enjoying each other. Well that’s the definition of the “Royal Gem” girls. http://www.royalgems.ca/royalgems/intro.asp
This weekend I had the opportunity to go up north to Mayfield to a beautiful home where lots of incredible women got together and celebrated this awesome program. They spent the whole weekend together and it ended with hair and makeup and a photoshoot.
It was such a pleasure meeting all of you wonderful ladies. It was alot of fun, despite the sun stroke, but even after that, everyone rallied around me and helped make me feel better, I was there for them, but in the end they were there for me, so thank you ladies.
Special thanks to Nickeisha, owner of Royal Gems, for setting this all up, you truly have an awe inspiring program, and I kept hearing how wonderful it was from all the ladies.
I’ve only edited a few as its been a very busy week and I hope to get to more soon. Here’s a little sneak peek for now.
