3rd Annual Maeci & Gracie Give Back Softball Tournament

We have become a real 501(c)!  The Maeci and Gracie Give Back Foundation is up and running!

We are gearing up for the 3rd Annual Maeci & Gracie Give Back Softball Tournament to grant more wishes!  If you play softball or even if you don't, grab your family and friends, form a team of 10 ($20 each = $200 reg. fee) and sign up here www.maeciandgraciegiveback.org!  It's a FUN day for your entire family! There will also be a Silent Auction during the games where you can bid on some pretty cool stuff.  If you are not interested in playing or just can't make the date, we are accepting donations online also at the link above.

We have granted 6 wishes since 2011 and want to continue to grant loads more!  This year our goal is to grant MegaMan Mason's wish to Disney (he's my cousin).  Mason is 5 and was diagnosed with Luekemia right before Christmas 2012.  You can follow his progress here https://www.facebook.com/MegastrongForMason?fref=ts.  

And grant Mighty Mia's wish to Disney.  Mia is 16 and has a brain tumor. You can follow Mia's progress here https://www.facebook.com/mightymia2012?fref=ts.

We WILL get them to Disney but we can't do it without the help of many!  The most important thing you can do for these kids is PRAY for complete healing.

The tournament is May 18th in Avon, IN at the Avon Softball Diamonds.  Please read about us here and hopefully you can join us for a fun day of granting wishes!

IT WORKS! IT REALLY DOES!

Hello!  Long time no talk!  I am now an Independent It Works Distributor!  Our #1 seller is the Ultimate Body Applicator.  Wow! What an amazing product!  I can honestly say IT WORKS!  I've seen it work for me, my sis, friends and so many others! They are even using it in Hollywood!

If you are interested and want more information, please email me at wrapwithkeli@gmail.com and check out my website https://keli.myitworks.com to see the Wrap and other products we sell.  Here's some info that will help you:




Hi! Thank you for wanting to learn more about It Works! You are on your way to getting your skinny back!!

The Wraps: A botanical based body contouring wrap is designed to detoxify, tighten, tone and firm. It helps minimize the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks and has the added side effect of inch loss.

They are absolutely incredible!!! And are our most popular product because you have instant results in 45 minutes. With proper diet, generous water intake and a little exercise, your results will last 2-6 months. Our other products, which are also botanical based, are awesome as well! They are ALL natural and are designed to be an alternative to traditional preventative medicine.

I have been truly amazed! My sister has used 7 Wraps and has lost over 15"!  I have used 2 wraps and have lost approx. 5 inches! I am now starting my complete treatment with the wraps.  One pack of the Ultimate Body Wraps, which contains 4, is $99. But if you sign up as a LOYAL CUSTOMER, which is what I did originally, you get them for $59. Being a LC means you receive ALL products at wholesale pricing, 45-50% off, and agree to purchase at least ANY one product for 3 consecutive months. If you do, you will be a Loyal Customer for life beginning month four. If you choose not to complete the 3 month commitment, you will be charged $50.00 the first month you cancel. Keep in mind, that $50 charge could have been 2 packs of vitamins and a completed auto shipment agreement! It is really worth it price wise if you can make this short commitment! You will also receive FREE SHIPPING for life!

Please note: Your auto-ship product does not have to remain the same each month. If you desire to choose another product, simply sign on to your account to make the change. Just make sure it is changed prior to your auto-ship date, otherwise, the previous month’s selection will be mailed to you.

It usually takes 8 wraps for most people to get to their goal. Once you’ve met your personal goal it is only necessary to do "maintenance wraps". Each person is different, so it’s up to you to determine if Wrapping 1x per week is all you need or even just 1x per month. The secret to keeping it off is WATER, WATER, WATER!! Drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water per day. This will keep the toxins flushed from your body.

The Greens, Vital, Ultimate Body Wraps & Thermo Fit together are a GREAT jump start to weight loss, tightening, toning, firmness and a much healthier you!

Take a look at the products, read about the company, pray about it and let me know if I can “Wrap You Up!”

The Science Behind the Wraps!

It Works Body Wraps – how do they work? Here is the science behind our wraps! You’re wondering if they work, the answer is YES and you’re also wondering how…so here is a picture to show you the difference between, normal fat cells and fat cells bloated and swollen with toxins. The botanical blend in our wraps penetrate the skin and into the deeper skin layers, getting straight to the fat cells…where it forces toxins out of them! Those toxins are then picked up by the blood stream and filtered through the kidneys and essentially are eliminated through your urine. A little fact about fat cells: When you are born, you are born with all the fat cells your body will ever have. However, fat can expand 1000x its original size. Fat holds toxins and CAN be shrunk, you don’t essentially “lose” fat without exercise, proper diet or surgery – but you can certainly shrink it and our skinny wraps will do just that!


WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE APPLICATOR?

The Ultimate Body Applicator is a non woven cloth wrap that is infused with a powerful, botanically- based formula to deliver maximum tightening, toning, and firming results in as little as 45 minutes! It continuously hydrates for firmer, smoother, more youthful looking skin, and reduces the appearance of cellulite and skin slackening.

HOW DO I USE THE ULTIMATE BODY
APPLICATOR?

The Ultimate Body Applicator comes in a versatile shape that can be applied wherever you choose to see results, such as the stomach, sides, back, upper arms, thighs, or lower legs.
To use the Ultimate Body Applicator, simply open an individual Applicator package (four included in each box of Applicators), remove the Applicator cream infused cloth wrap, and unfold it. Place the cream infused side of the wrap against your skin on the area of your body where you wish to see results.
Secure the Applicator in place with form-fitting clothing or plastic wrap. Leave on for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the Applicator and discard. Rub any remaining cream formula into the skin. Enjoy your results!

Be sure to check the area where you applied the Applicator every day following to track your results. The formula continues to work over the next 72 hours, giving you progressive results.

And this:

Here is some info that might help with why some people feel sick while wrapping and for the argument that our wraps are nothing but water loss...

"I sent the ingredient list to my sister who is a biologist. She checked each ingredient and assured me that not one of the ingredients could conduct an osmosis process. We have 2 types of toxins in our bodies. Hydrophilic: water soluble and Lipophilic: fat soluble. Contrary to belief our bodies are able to dispose of lipophilic toxins. Waste fat (the kind you see on an overweight person) is burned for energy, stored as essential reserves & finally used to absorb more fat! The Lipophilic toxins pollute the lipids or fats in your body and make you sick...by detoxification these lipophilic toxins enter your liver. Which then brings us to why Bile production is the key to detoxification of these toxins!

The liver's job is to dump the toxins.
This is also why some of our clients feel "sick" this is very normal for a person with a "sick liver". If a person wants to ensure a healthy liver will continue to excrete these toxins they need to make sure potassium levels are stable. Potassium salts comprise the majority of bile salts which are essential to digesting dietary lipids! If our bodies are not alkaline then the lipids stay in our liver, which attracts more fat. Fat absorbs fat! This is where the Greens come in. When the body is alkaline, our bile salts will take lipids out! This then leads to why the wraps are a continual process.
The human body is not like a car, where we can drain the dirty oil, and replace it with fresh oil. Lipophilic cleansing gradually replaces the cellular lipids by over-supplying ideal lipids. It’s like adding a little fresh oil to your car every day. The oil gets cleaner, just not all at once. The liver produces bile. Bile is soap. Bile soap is made up of fats or lipids mixed with bile salts. Bile salts are heavily alkaline materials! Soap is a surfactant and it dissolves up fat!!"

The Ultimate Applicator targets the lipid fat cells in the subcutaneous tissue, it flushes toxins from those cells, sending it to the liver. The herbal ingredients in this wrap do not have an Osmosis or water loss effect. We are encouraging hydration to have the liver excrete fat toxins through bile.

(Now you see why it doesn't work on people who don't poop!)"

Maeci & Gracie's Give Back a Wish 1st Annual Softball Tournament

Hi all! Long time no speak. Just wanted to update my blog on our latest project. We are now Wish Granters! We met a family, The Bennett's (Chris, Stephanie & Gracie) at the hospital during Maeci's chemo treatments who ended up going on our Wish trip with us last November. We had an fabulous time! I have never experienced a vacation like that EVER! The girls were spoiled rotten (which they totally deserved) and we, the parents even got special treatment. In our minds, was also well deserved.



 










Make-a-Wish is an amazing organization that grants the wishes of children with life threatening diseases.  Our families have decided that God put us together for many reasons but the main reason is to GIVE BACK and to give hope and inspiration to others who are fighting. 










We had our first fundraiser on May 6th and it was a huge success.  We sponsored a 4 yr old little girl, Charla, with heart failure. We ended up with 24 teams!  We also had a Silent Auction with loads of great items! We GRANTED CHARLA'S WISH with the help of many giving people!

We are now working on granting Wish #2.

Granting a wish is an experience that we will never forget and we want to continue doing.  We thank God for giving us this opportunity and for blessing us with new friends.

Maeci & Gracie Give Back

Hi all! I'm sitting here in the middle of an ice storm and my long lost blog popped into my head. And I have a new website to promote and what better place to promote it!  http://www.maeciandgracie.com/  So, here I am hoping my long lost followers will see this and run over to see what I've been up too.  It's been a crazy Summer and Fall! 
Some of you know, some of you don't, that Maeci was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in April 2010. We met Gracie during chemo treatments. Please take a moment and read their stories. We would really appreciate it.

Hope all you are doing fabulous and are having a great start to 2011!

Maeci Moo & Crew - Help Support The Luekemia & Lymphoma Society

My family and I (Jay, Jacob and Maeci) will be participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Light The Night Walk at Victory Field, October 16, 2010, and we would like to ask for your support.
As you may know, our daughter Maeci was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma on April 19, 2010. While this was a complete shock, her Faith in God brought her through this. She endured many scary days and many overnight stays at Riley Hospital for Children but she continued to smile and believe. She told me in the very beginning that God would take care of her and "God's Got It" became our family motto. With Gods healing touch, Maeci's scans were clear on August 2nd, she had a complete response to chemo according to her Oncologist. We are now finishing up the last of her treatment plan and they will continue to monitor her. Maeci is truly a blessing to our family and has touched and inspired the lives of others with her smiling face!





Light The Night is a nationwide evening walk that raises funds for cutting-edge cancer research and innovative programs for patients and their families. The LLS mission is: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

It’s a special night, celebrating and commemorating lives touched by cancer. Each Walker who raises $100 or more becomes a Champion For Cures and gets to carry a special illuminated balloon – white for survivors, red for supporters and gold for those who have lost a loved one to blood cancer. Light The Night is a magical event that someday will ensure that blood cancers are eliminated.

Your help will make a difference! Please consider joining my team and walking with Maeci and/or making a donation to help me become a Champion For Cures. I will also be placing an order for t-shirts which will say "Maeci Moo & Crew" for $10.00 each. Please let me know soon if you want a t-shirt. I will be placing the order soon. (You do not have to order a t-shirt to be on my team)

To join me in the Walk or to donate on-line, visit http://pages.lightthenight.org/in/Indianap10/KYoung .

Here are some facts about the upcoming Walk:

When: October 16, 2010

Where: Victory Field, Indianapolis, IN

Distance: 2 Miles

Time: Check-in 5:00 pm

Opening Ceremony and Walk Start Time 7:00 pm



Thank you for your support in the fight against blood cancer.

Thank you,

Jay, Keli, Jake and Maeci

Game Night

Seriously.  There is nothing better than hanging out with family and friends.  We were invited to game night with friends from church.  We all brought snacks and our kids. Notice I said snacks first...I love me some snacks. We had the normal introductions and then we filled our plates.  MMMMMMMM!  Someone made spinach dip w/ Hawaiian bread, cheese dip, Robert Redford brownies, veggies/dip, fruit, peach pie, etc.  I love snack foods.  I think I tasted a little of each.  Don't judge.

Then we moved on.  Karoke with the kids.  Do you know how cute it is to hear little ones sing The B I B L E? And Jesus Loves Me?  Of course everyone was watching smiling, laughing......Me?  I had tears in my eyes.  I'm such a cry baby.  When things are cute, funny, precious and involve little ones, I boohoo.  I can't help it.  So darn cute!

Then we broke up in teams and played Pictionary.  Fun fun game!!  We involved the kids and had a blast!  Cracks me up to see what people draw for their word!  hahahaha!

Kids played Twister and then we moved on to a game called Spoons.  Ever played it?  I had not.  You need spoons and a deck of cards.  Very easy to learn but can be very violent!  People really want a spoon!  My Dad even snatched one from a small child!  And he wasn't giving it up.  LOL! Bummed that I forget my camera! 

We had a great night.  I wasn't feeling that great when we headed over but laughter really is the best medicine.

Thank God for family and friends.  Good times!

I hope all of you are having a great weekend so far!
