What is Beauty from the Inside?
Beauty from the inside out is about us taking the time to care for both our mental and physical well being.
We all serve many roles in our daily lives. We are:
- the hard working employee or employer…
- the loving spouse…
- the devoted parent or child…
- the caregiver…
- the friend…
Whatever the role, it can be easy to get busy and forget about ourselves. The Mrs. Colorado Pageant is making it easier to look out for one aspect of our health this year!
The Mrs. Colorado Pageant in partnership with Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital is bringing their Mobile Mammography Van to offer mammography screening exams during the “State Finalist’ Shopping Day. You and your loved ones will be in and out in 20 minutes! Mobile Mammogram – Feb 23 Flier

The reason will change per person, but my reasons are:
- 21 years ago, my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had hidden it long enough that she had to have a mastectomy to remove all of the cancer. A year later, my entire family freaked out when the doctor said I needed to have surgery to remove two lumps. I count myself lucky when it was found that I had benign breast fibroids. To this day, some of my doctors either have me do the breast pancakes or if I’m lucky they let me do an ultra-sound to keep an eye on a third one. Whichever one, it reassures my family.
- Four years ago, my friend Joanne Casey was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was hard for all of us friends to watch her fight this battle while working a full time job and doing all of the community service she does throughout Summit County. I still like the red wig she would use on her sassy alter-ego days. Joanne is currently in remission…she has been instrumental in starting two thrift stores (For Pets Sake and Horse Cents) in Summit County supporting local charities…For me, Joanne is an inspiration…
If not for your own peace of mind, then do it for your family and friends!
