Plan Your Next Ask Ms Mandi Party:

I am an entrepreneur, starting up Ask Ms Mandi in October 2011. I currently organize party events in homes, providing homemade cheesecakes, local winery wines, and a time to meet new people and spend time with old friends. Parties are by appointment only.

Contact Ask Ms Mandi if you would like to be the hostess at your own Ask Ms Mandi party. I will provide the cheesecake and the wine. All you have to do is invite your friends to your house and I will take care of everything else.

Be prepared to entertain your friends with the finest wines in Riverside County, while nibbling on rich and luscious, homemade cheesecake. All in the environment of your home.

To plan your Ask Ms Mandi Party, please contact me at AskMsMandi.com or you may e-mail me your personalized calendar (look for the page under Ask Ms Mandi Party tap) to: msmandi4u@gmail.com

*Ask Ms Mandi’s location is in Southern California and unfortunately at this time, can only service parties in Southern California locations.

The day of a Riverside County Housewife:

Good Morning

Alarm clock goes off at 7am.  Drag myself into the kitchen for a cup of coffee with cream and sugar. Make breakfast for my girls and take them to school.  Work out. Get into the shower. Turn on computer and write.  Write.  Write. Get another cup of coffee with cream and sugar.  Write.  Write.  Pick up girls from school.  Help them with homework.  Write.  Make dinner. Kiss everyone goodnight. Get into bed. Read the bible and pray for a break. 

Goodnight.

Donating Women’s Business Suits to Charities

16 Sunday Sep 2012

Ask Ms Mandi is asking for your support in donating women business suits to women in need.  So many times single women get stuck in the rut of struggling without the opportunity to find a good job to support herself and her children.  Let’s face it, welfare is not going to provide a stable income for a single mother to properly care for her children.  She will need a place to live, food, clothing and a vehicle.  It is near impossible to get around without a vehicle these days, especially in Southern California.  We need a car to get to the grocery store, take our kids to school, and especially to get to work. Sometimes work is over 30 miles away. 

 

What is a single mother to do when she is barely making it on welfare.  We all know that welfare helps, but it just isn’t enough to get a single mother with children out of a bad situation.  Everyone, at times, needs a helping hand, a push to get over the rough times. 

 

In today’s poor economic times, it is hard to find a job, especially if you are not educated or properly skilled in the workforce.  Study’s say that first impressions are important.  It is hard enough to get that interview, but even harder to get the job.  We must look our best when attending the interview, to guarantee our success to landing the job, that will get us over the hump and back into being a successful, working citizen, off of welfare. 

Nobody wants to be a statistic. Did you know that the poorest economic group are single mothers.  Why is that, you may ask?  A primary reason for this statistic is that women get married and raise the children, while the husband obtains the career and makes the money for the family.  Things go astray and love fades, ending in divorce, while leaving the women to take care of the children with no education and no income.  She may not even get child support, if you married a dead-beat dad, who just doesn’t care about her or his children’s needs.  She may get a minimum wage job, but her children are too young and need to go to daycare.  She will spend most of her income on daycare services with little or no money left over for her and the children to survive on.  It’s a sad story, but too true.

 

Ask Ms Mandi is asking for your help and support.  The first impression and most important matter is how we look when interviewing for a job prospective.  Ask Ms Mandi is asking for donated women business attire clothing.  I will be donating these items to shelters, churches, and half-way houses to help single mothers to re-gain the confidence to walk into an interview with pride and a strong self-esteem.  This will help her to be the best that she can be for herself and her children, getting her off of welfare.

 

Ask Ms Mandi’s goal for the rest of the year, is to donate as many women business attire suits, dresses, outfits to the needy to help these women regain their lives back.  A lot of these women were once women just like you and I; however, they have fallen on hard times, losing their husbands, their homes,their dignity, their self-respect, and their freedom to live the life that they and their children deserve.  Ask Ms Mandi will be donating women business attire too and asks you to contribute to this great cause. 

 

If you want to help, please contact me by e-mail and I will give you the address to send your donations to.  Don’t forget, donations are a tax-deductible as well, so you will be benefiting women in your society and getting a tax break too.

Thank you for your support!

Forty is a time to grow.  This is a crucial age.  This is a time for women to make changes.  These changes may be related to relationships, career, inspirational, or soul-searching.  The decade when woman are forty, she must make some serious decisions.  When she was younger, time wasn’t against her.  Now that she is getting older, time is more of a factor. 

During a women’s forties, she needs to make some life-long decisions.  Don’t stay in an unhealthy relationship.  Find true love.  Don’t stay in a career that bores you.  Find out what is exciting and go after that job prospect.  This is the time to travel and meet new people and experience new places.  Your children are probably old enough to take care of themselves, so this is the time to re-connect with yourself or to find your self again.

Enjoy being forty.  You are still young and beautiful.  This is the time to shine, so shine.

Senior Citizens Want to Feel Pretty too…

31 Tuesday Jul 2012

Aging, Beauty, Senior Citizens, Women

Senior Citizens want to feel pretty too….. but sometimes they are forgotten at the make-up counter.  The cosmetic lines may target younger women for their make-up lines and older women for certain skin-care lines.

Certain creams reduce and may even eliminate some fine lines and wrinkles.  Whereas, other facial creams, lotions, and serums help to prevent wrinkles and prematuring of the skin.  Subsequently, older women want to feel pretty too. 

First, make-up isn’t only for the young.  Make-up is used to make us feel and look prettier, by enhancing our best features.  Older skin may also benefit with the use of make-up.  Foundation helps to protect the skin from sun damage by adding sun screen protection.  Some foundations actually sit on top of the skin, creating a younger looking appearance. 

Second, when the eyes are enhanced to brighten the eye-area without a lot of eye liner, eye shadow, and mascara, it will brighten up the eye area without making it look overly made up and heavy.  A brighter eye makes a person look more awake and alert.  However, older women should stay away from frosty / glittery shadows.  A matte shadow is much better and won’t insinuate those fine lines and wrinkles on the eye-lids and around the eyes. 

So….. women over 55 years old….. don’t be afraid to stop by the cosmetic counter the next time you are out and purchase a few cosmetic items for your every day cosmetic bag.  A few simple steps and you will feel beautiful again.

Keep your life young and stay beautiful!
