Mona Vie

November 15, 2007

Just a two ounce serving in the morning and at cocktail hour provide nutrients essential to looking & feeling your best, and aid in the prevention of disease.

MonaVie

From the company:  “Developed with the philosophy of Balance-Variety-Moderation, MonaVie products deliver the phytonutrients and antioxidants you need to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.  With a blend of 19 fruits, including the Brazilian acai berry, MonaVie is a unique and delicious nutritional beverage.”

There has been lots of buzz surrounding the acai berry…and surely everyone has heard the term phytonutrients & antioxidants by now, from sources including Dr. N.V. Perricone and Dr. Oz.   MonaVie is an easy and delicious way to incorporate these healthful nutrients into a busy lifestyle.  There’s even an “Active” blend that provides the additional joint-protective benefits of glucosamine and esterified fatty acids; and a convenient gel form packaged for travellers or those on-the-go!

 Two of our friends are available as distributors…Lynne Sneed and Bethany Rogers.  Check out their websites and/or call them for more info or to try a sample of MonaVie.

Betty Spain
Entrepreneur, Fashion Forward, Highly Motivated and one Glamorous Hautemomma!

Bella Rose
www.bellarosestyle.com

Take it from Betty Spain, “Make every minute count!”  Maybe this mantra comes from being one of 12 siblings! Yes 12, Betty has 6 sisters and 5 brothers!, so making every minute count was probably very important.  Needless to say, Betty Spain has certainly made the most of her time by turning her boutique, Bella Rose, into one of the best places to shop in Kentucky, and especially in Lexington.

If you have met Betty, or shopped in her boutique, then you know she is an expert at what she does, and she loves it!  Not only does she always look like a million bucks!, but she really knows how to help women, younger and older, dress to fit their style and body type.  It really is a gift.  Betty Spain exudes confidence, glamour, style and knowledge.  She is definitely approachable, someone to admire and certainly look to for advice.  Her ageless demeanor is also seriously something to envy. 

Read on to find out more about Ms. Bella Rose herself, Betty Spain!  See what inspires her, who inspires her and what she considers…Haute!

How do you define style?
Timeless, if you can still wear something 5 years later then you know it was a great investment.

What is at the top of your style / wardrobe wish list?
 
Any little black dress, there are so many great shapes and styles right now! 

Also patent leather accessories are great right now, shoes, belts etc.
 

Favorite Mantra?

Make every minute count!


What do you love most about owning one of the most popular boutiques in Lexington?

The ability to reach so many women in the community.  We have ladies that shop here ranging from the ages of 15-90, so we have the opportunity to cheer up women of three generations.  It is exciting to come to work and have something new each day.

How did you get into the boutique business?
I am one of 12 children, so growing up, fun, new trends were not always available to me.   I wanted to make that accessible to people and that‘s what got me motivated.  I was at a time in my life when I was going through a career move and it seemed like the right time to make a change.  27 years later, I’m still loving it! 

Do you have any advice for women out there opening their own businesses?

Do what you love, if you have a passion for the business then follow your heart.  Most importantly, stay true to yourself
