April Bradley

I was married for 16 years and will soon be divorced for 1 year. I am a single mom of two boys, 16 and 4. When I was married, I rarely wore make up and never dressed up. Since my divorce I have tried several different hairstyles and can't find one that fits me, and I struggle with choosing the right make up. When my ex left, I was under the impression that I was "used goods", an over 30 woman with 2 kids, no one else would be interested in me. I need the "My Makeover" to start "My New Life".

Amanda Baker

I need a makeover because: I turned 50 and have looked the same for 30 years. I have never worn makeup and don’t know how to apply it. I have had thyroid cancer and survived. I am a professional in the engineering field. I am a busy mom with a daughter in college and one starting high school. I have two dogs. I belong to a community fraternity and give back to the community on a regular basis I am turning gray and have never colored my hair. I never take me time and I am in desperate need. I need one!

Sharmel Miller

Why Me? I am a 38 year old married mother of three children ages 17, 18 and 20. I am the 911 Emergency Coordinator for Abbeville County, we just recently went through CALEA accreditation process. It’s a two year process in which I accomplished in a little over a year by working on this project mostly at home and on family vacations with no additional pay. The agency received the accreditation award in Fl at the CALEA conference July 2008. Help me to improve my looks and be stress free for a day, please take away my graying hair I’m too young.

Renee Clardy

Wow, I am forty five years old. My ex-husband left me on Christmas Eve 2006. I have successfully lost about 85 pounds. I have been in the medical field for twenty six years and I am just burnt out. I am in the process of making a career change into law enforcement, which means going to the academy. I am the mother of one son and he has one daughter which the two of them live with me. The three of us have even started taking karate. My son has just become engaged and planning a September 2009 wedding. Help me! I need a change.

     Meet author, attorney, dog owner, and former frustrated dieter Patti Lawson as she speaks out about how her dog taught her some big lessons about life. Her book, The Dog Diet (HCI, April 2006) is an inspiring and moving account of how changing the focus of your life can get you back in the game, and in Lawson’s case, back into her size four jeans.

     Artist Tony Ryals is a true inspiration, and will be at the Upstate Women’s Show to demonstrate his incredible skills and sell his one of a kind artwork. Tony will also offer face painting for kids.
 Tony was born with a birth defect known as Arthrogryposis, which locks up all the joints in his arms and legs. This extremely rare condition left his limbs virtually useless. Without the use of arms and hands, he has developed amazing dexterity and coordination using only his mouth and neck.
All of Tony's paintings and drawings are done the only way he can, by grasping a brush or fine line pen in his mouth. If his paintings and drawings could talk, they would tell you about the joy of overcoming many obstacles and challenges. Even his own doctors were amazed at what he has accomplished.  So that's why Tony say's, “Never give up, no matter what!”
