I was going to write how chaotic my Thursday was with the logistics of arranging our 4 kids baby sitting, getting a spray tan, nails done, getting my pop colour runners, writing up a Vision Crusaders (if you haven't already done so, please LIKE my Richard Branson picture) proposal to hand to Lorna personally in hope she can sponsor my 6 Rides to Conquer Cancer etc......
Instead I'll just give you the snippets of what a wonderful experience this whole Lorna Jane gig was.
Campaign manager Sofie told me to bring my brightest coloured accessories I typically work out in and of course that included my nails, arm candy and runners!

Arriving at 5:45am to meet the Lorna Jane girls Sofie, Kristina and Kelly at their head office in Eagle Farm. Meeting one of the worlds top make up artists Tania Travers , she is truly one beautiful and talented lady! Me posing in the studio and all the gear ready for us to shoot on location.

Our first shoot was at New Farm park, Brisbane around 7am and what a wonderful way to kick start the day, giving the Founder and inspirational lady a big hug!!! I was hugging her like there was no tomorrow. Meeting people you admire and look up to is a very rare moment in life, so I made the most of it. As you can see :-)
BTW I took the first opportunity to let Lorna know I had a Vision Crusaders pack to give to her before she left for the day.

Next stop was at the Biologic Labs around 10am where Lorna Jane herself trains with her trainer Matt (who mind you killed me when I did 100kgs leg presses!! I am still sore as I type!). It was super awesome meeting my Sporty Sister Maileen Hawthorne who has the fittest body going around. She has inspired me to be more diligent, so thank you my beautiful friend. I love you.

So all in all, an absolutely sensational day. THANK YOU LORNA JANE AND THE ENTIRE LORNA JANE TEAM. You have the best team!!! Thank you for your warm welcome and making us feel so comfortable and at home. Can't forget our amazing camera boys!!!! Love you Jason and Rod!
Ahhhhh yes, how beautiful is Lorna as she was leaving she said:
"Dani, you told me to remind you to give me your Vision Crusaders pack".
So here was my front cover!

| Lorna Jane please sponsor my 6 Rides To Conquer Cancer |
Fingers crossed! As I would love to be a Lorna Jane ambassador as I ride my butt off, to raise more awareness and money for research to get rid of this deadly disease, that takes 1 in 3 lives away from us. If you are reading this Lorna, I look forward to hearing from you soon x
Pretty cool huh? Never a dull moment in Dani's day. Can't wait when the campaign is launched so you can check out all the pics!
To top my day off, I caught up with my gorgeous friend Shari from Your Family Survival Coach who is just the best person in my life! Thank you Shari AKA wing woman, for meeting me with your gorgeous little Grace.

DeleteDani, well done and yes it is amazing when you meet one of your idols. This happened for me when I met Sir Richard Branson in 1999, so I understand and am so happy for you. I would like to say "Good things come to those who wait, but they come to those who work their arse off!!" This is exactly what you do.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the shoot.
Dani, I love your invitation to Lorna to sponsor the Vision Crusaders Grand Slam effort. You are amazing and how fantastic would it be if Lorna Jane were to sponsor the team!! The media coverage that Vision Crusaders Grand Slam is securing is building fast and almost 7,000 likes on the team page already too and growing by over 1000 every day! Imagine what will happen once Sir Richard Branson accepts your invitation too. No limits. No boundaries. Everything is possible. Go girl you are an inspiration to all us and especially the Vision Crusaders Grand Slam team. Can't wait to ride with you!
ReplyDeleteGood on you Dani!! An inspiration and a strong wonderful person. Good luck!! x
ReplyDeleteCOME ON LORNA JANE!!! Support, Support, Support!
