BBQ Special:Hi, I hope you are all doing well and that those of you who are my Body Shop customers are loving your Body Shop products. I currently have a very special catalog party open that will remain open until 6/30. This month I will be donating all of my commissions to my cousin, Al Silva, who has been battling prostate cancer for the last three years. Last year his Dr. told him there wasn't much more they could do for him and Christmas found him very week and in lots of pain and we were sure it would be his last. However, another miracle came our way and Cuz was given some information about a trial cancer treatment that they have been using in Seattle where his oldest son lives. Cuz went up to Seattle for a couple of months and the treatment is working great. He's back home now and has the treatment shipped here and his wife and my mom administer the treatments. Problem is......it's a trial program so insurance doesn't cover the cost and the treatment is very expensive.
My master plan was to donate all my commission for the entire month of June to my cuz, but unfortunately I fell from a ladder while organizing a rummage sale and broke a vertebra so I have been laid up all month and the best I can do is a catalog party. This month the Body Shop at Home is offering limited edition products for 30% off including my personal favorite; Green Tea Shower gel.
