Cookie Lee Fine Fashion Jewelry
Janell met Lisa Tapper in Houston. Walking through the displays @ the Texas Conference for Women, Janell spotted a magazine displayed entitled "Empowering Women". Since PEP-Perspectives is all about Women's Empowerment, she stopped and was instantly impressed with Lisa. As she viewed her line of jewelry, and visited with her, Lisa's dynamic personality came alive. She showed where she was featured in Rick Warren's magazine and then gave us the magazine so that we could read more about her and the Cookie Lee line of jewelry. As Lisa, an Executive Director, described the Cookie Lee home shows; "It is basically a girls night out that just happens to have jewelry in it". Cookie Lee Shows are all about fun, friends and jewelry. In addition they support charities and organizations whose goals match it's own--EMPOWERING WOMEN!! Be sure to go online to view the 2009 fall/winter catalog and to learn more about this wonderful organization that promotes Women's Empowerment! Contact Lisa @ 817-503-125 or 949-939-0468.

Grand Lady
Lisa has created a business out of her passion for aroma. Most of her business is done on the internet. However we were lucky to 'sample' her products @ the recent Women's Conference. She carries several gift items suitable for creating baskets in addition to her bath & body products. We enjoyed visiting with Lisa and hearing how she and her mom started this business. Read her full story in "Dreams Grow Wings". There is no way you walk by this booth and not be 'pulled in'-- by the fabulous aromas, AND by Lisa's incredible smile. PEP salutes successful women like Lisa, she is an inspiration for other women who want to start and grow their own business! Contact Lisa at 281-851-8546, or go to her website to see all her products.

Moody Girl Salsa
Behind this fantastic Salsa is a "Moody Girl", Becki Zanardi. Becki is a dynamic spitfire of a mom and homemaker. She can whip up a dish of homemade salsa that would take any purple at the fair. When Becki would receive an invite for a gathering she would always ask "what can I bring?" "Your delicious salsa", was always the response. Becki and her husband were encouraged by friends and family to produce this delicious addition to the table for everyone. They did just that, and now Moody Girl (that's Becki) has her salsa in many supermarkets here in the Midwest and online.
