The owner of Anastasia's Attic, our very own Tara Starling....wait for it...wait for it.....is now.....
A BEST SELLING AUTHOR!

Living Proof...Celebrating the Gifts that Come Wrapped in Sandpaper!!

In this amazing book Lisa Nichols (You may have heard about her the first time from the best selling book and movie "The Secret") along with 38 other Extraordinary Champions...Tara being one of them celebrate those moments we have all had....those that can be painful and frightening,and sometimes  leave us in a ball on the bathroom floor crying our hearts out. Yes...I said celebrating!! Because these times are where so many of our most wonderful blessings stem from. Once the tears have dried and we have had time to heal we look back and see just what the lesson was. We grow and learn and many times say....if I had to do it all over again I would. Because so many of my most wonderful blessings have come wrapped in sandpaper!

Those of you who know Tara personally or who shop in our store know what an amazing woman she is.She is an international celebrity makeup artist who has worked with some of the world's top actors,singers,and athletes. She of course owns or beautiful store Anastasia's Attic and is also the creator of "Star in Your Own Life", a transformational program which teaches women the skills to live the role of leading lady in their own lives, and has created the non profit organization "Be The Beauty" that creates ways for all of us to give to those that stand in need. And now.....A Best Selling Author!!

Help me in congratulating her on this amazing achievement. And join us on the journey of learning how she along with her co-authors got through their "Sandpaper" experiences!! Tara is not the kind to toot her own horn but we have been friends far to long for me to let this slip past!! This wonderful book is now available at Anastasia's Attic, at Gardner Village.

Congratulations Tara....you never cease to amaze me.
With Love,
Cricket

Catching Up, And A Contest!!

Hi everyone this is Cricket and I am still in shock that it is now 2011...what happened to 2010....it was just a blur!

All of us at Anastasia's Attic would like to wish all of our family, friends and customers a very happy new year.

Each year at this time we each get the opportunity to look back and see the things we would like to do differently. You know...lose a few pounds, mend some fences,kick a bad habit, get organized...and the list goes on. A fresh start with anything just feels really good. And I myself need a fresh start with this blog. I got a little behind last year and then it just snowballed. But this year I am going to do my very best to keep it updated and let you know what fun and interesting things are going on at Anastasia's Attic.

January is always a fun time. We have a Facebook special that we post each day. We pick a different item each day and put it on sale for 50% off that day only. Each morning at 10:00 AM we change the item. What a fun way to start the year. Make sure to find us on Facebook and hit the like button so you will always know what fun things are going on. You can also sign up there for our monthly email newsletter that is filled with a recipe of the month, a coupon, and other fun things.

In February each year we have our annual bracelet give-a-way contest. Each day we give away a beautiful Valentine Bracelet. No purchase necessary, just come in and fill out an entry blank. And while you are there please help yourself to a piece of Dove chocolate.

 That being said, as a way of saying thank you for following our store I am going to give away a bracelet on here too. Just become a follower of this blog....that is it...one simple step.
The winner will be announced on Friday February 12th

We Will Miss You

At Anastasia's Attic we are like one big family. And sometimes members of the family need to spread their wings and leave the nest to do something else. This month we say good bye to the Henry sisters Olivia and Monica.

Be the Beauty Project for June!

This month we lift loving hearts and our hands toward our four-footed fellow inhabitants of our planet! During June we will be collecting cans of dog and cat food for the Salt Lake County Animal Services. The SLCAS provides shelter for all types of lost and abandoned pets, and has a wonderful adoption and foster program. Although Salt Lake County Animal Services is a county-funded organization, many of their outreach, rescue, and adoption programs are made possible through the generous donations of citizens. In addition to caring for lost and abandoned animals and providing pet licensing, the Salt Lake City Animal Services has a rescue and foster programs that provides temporary homes to young kittens who are too young to be adopted. Foster parents are provided with all the necessary items for their foster-kittens--including food! As a reminder, when you bring your donation for the Be the Beauty program, you will receive a special Thank You from Anastasia's Attic in the form of a special, non- expiring coupon for 30% off any regular price, in-stock item! To learn more about The Salt Lake Animal Services and how you can assist their cause, visit http://www.animalservices.slco.org/ Thank you all so much for taking the time to Be the Beauty! We can make a difference! We will make a difference!
