A talented new photographer

I was very blessed to meet Jessica Merkel at the Sea Cliff Mini Mart in October.  Jessica took some photos of my soaps that I just love. Thank you for sending them to me and for allowing me to use them Jess!

So many people comment on my scrabble piece. I guess Jess liked it too!



I love this picture with my "Vampire Soap" in it!


I asked Jess if she had a website I could send people too and she told me is working on one. She is in graduate school for speech pathology and hasn't had time lately to focus on her photography.  I'm so glad she had a few minutes to snap these pictures for me!

Yours in Gratitude,
Angela

The Lange Eylandt Market

The Lange Eylandt Market is held every Sunday from 10-4:30 at the Milleridge Inn in Jericho. It's my new favorite event. Why is it my fav? Besides the quaint village atmosphere of the Cottages at the Milleridge Inn and having a place to sell my products every Sunday, I get to be with some amazing vendors.  Check them out.

Tell me about yourself-

I am a 31 year old single woman, living on Long Island and regularly commuting to the city. I made a career change about two years ago and I am now a full time student at the Fashion Institute of Technology. I am majoring in Fashion Merchandising Management. I will graduate with my Associate Degree in December and I have already acquired credits to maintain my BA.

How long have you been using Alegna Soap products?

I have been using Alegna Soap since I first met Angela at a craft fair a couple of months ago.

Which soap is your favorite?

It’s hard to choose a favorite but if I had to, I would say the peppermint scrub soap

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I have three sisters and I love sending time with them. I volunteer at my church and I love entertaining old friends and meeting new friends.

Do you have any pets?

I have one dog. A 2 year old 110lb Rottweiler named Porscha.

Who is your favorite movie star?

My favorite movie star is Al Pacino

What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

If I knew I couldn’t fail I would play the lottery of course! J Not failing to me (in regards to this) is two-fold though: 1. I would win the lottery, 2. I would spend the money wisely.

Describe your perfect day.

My perfect day would start off as a cool and sunny Fall morning. I would start my day off by showering with my Alegna peppermint scrub soap (of course). Then I would invite my immediate family and a few of my close friends to my favorite diner and I would pick up the check for everyone. I would then go to Starbucks with my best friend and get a pumpkin spiced latte. We would then pick up our dogs and take them for a nice long walk at the park. We would drop off our dogs, have sushi for lunch in Babylon Village and then go out to the city for a fun night with my sisters and closest friends…ALL ON ME! J


Yours in Gratitude,
Angela

Sandy

Many large tree limbs in our backyard.  A ton of shingles blown off our roof. A leak in the ceiling. Internet out for three days.  We were the lucky ones.  Over 80% of Long Island is without electrical power. The school building I work in is being used as a shelter for the Red Cross. My brother-in-law still can't get to his home in Mastic. Friends in Lindenhurst say their neighborhood is gone.  Everything in their house was destroyed but their house still has a foundation, many of their neighbors houses don't. Friends in Freeport lost everything, the water came up to the second floor of their home. This is the third day after Sandy wreaked havoc with us and it doesn't look like things will be getting better soon.

One of the tree limbs in my backyard

So today I am grateful for my husband who already has re-shingled the roof, the Internet that I usually take for granted, the empty bedrooms I can offer to my friends, heat, hot water, hot food, electric, and the fact that although there is a lot of property damage here, everyone I know is safe and healthy. I hope you are too.
