Independent Consultant

Basic Skin Care

I am Aida, a Beauty Consultant,
here to advise you face to face
about basic skin care and glamour products
for different skin types of any race.

Before you spend money buying cosmetics,
find out what will work best for you.
Learn to determine your individual skin type
and the proper techniques to care for it too.

Basic skin care is very important
because every skin type has specific needs.
So, before you try on any products,
a skin care profile should precede.
This skin care profile will help you design
a personalized program for you to apply.
It does not matter whether your skin type is:
Normal, Oily, Combination, or Dry.

5-steps to a healthy and radiant look,
scientifically based for the best effect.
First you Cleanse, Retexture, and Freshen,
then you Moisture Balance and Protect.
Writers Institute
In NIA/Writers Institute,
I sharpened my writing skills.
I enrolled in their correspondence course
while at home when I was ill.

Part 1 trained me Journalism,
Part 2 taught me a specialty.
Since I enjoyed writing verses,
I chose to specialize in Poetry.

The assignments were interesting,
they helped me to shape and define my thoughts.
My optional stories were published
due to the text that I was taught.

To write clearly and concisely
will most often satisfy.
But not if you do not include
the who, what, where, when and why.

The training in Poetry Writing
enhanced my abilities.
Through the principles, forms and meters,
I can express myself diversely.

I was challenged to try my hand at
writing light verse, greeting card and song;
and was pleased by my editor's comments of
"Fine job," "Well done," and "Strong."

Although I was a confessed procrastinator,
God blessed me to complete the course at home.
And I submitted as my last assignment
this personalized NIA quatrain poem.

An Anniversary Gift
written for Sylvia & St. Clair Roberts


I Love You

From the time we started dating,
I never wanted to be apart.
God blessed me for delighting myself in Him
and gave me you, the desire of my heart.

Life became rough when we left Antigua,
not having a job caused me many doubts.
I was ready to quit and go back there,
but because of your faith we stuck it out.

Our relationship has been fruitful,
you bring out a lot of good in me.
You are precious and understanding,
and your cooking is high quality.

Your gentle and quiet spirit
radiates an unfading inner light
that shines throuhout our struggles,
and is worthy in God's sight.

My love for you is boundless
because you are Beautiful, Strong, and Sweet. 
Happy Anniversary beloved Sylvia!
You are my best friend, you make my life complete.
