" BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER"

                                
"April showers bring May flowers". I thought that opening quote would be more then appropriate for this special piece I had to share with you all. It's been a minute since I did a blog since I am a busy bee and always doing a million and one things at one time. This past April was an inspiring month filled with SHOWERS of LOVE, REBIRTH and most of all SELF REALIZATION! As most of you know I am involved with a support system and they are called TEAM TRUE BEAUTY. 

Team True Beauty is a support system that works to empower from
within. We tell the youth it is the size of their heart that matters,
not their waist line. We want young women and men to know that they
don't have to look a certain way before achieving their dreams. Your
looks don't define you; your heart, your actions, your goals, and your
dreams do. We spread the message that everyone is worthy no matter
what, help to build inner confidence, raise awareness on the dangers
of eating disorders and promote the importance of feeling comfortable
in your own skin. Feeling confident about their body and who they are
as a person as well as teaching people to embrace their uniqueness is
our main goal.

I was able to attend an event that Team True Beauty held a while back in Hollywood, CA and fell in love with their inspiring message they have shared with the whole world. As an actor it is beyond vital for me to share with my friends and family and fan base that beauty is from within ones soul. I consistently have to deal with the struggles like we all do on a daily basis about self esteem, weight, and most of all feeling 100% secure about myself inside and out. I try to instill with in my online social media community that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that no matter what anyone says to YOU that YOU are enough and that YOU are beautiful, a precious being of GOD and that we are all already PERFECT no matter where we are in our life or what we look like. People always ask me Alisa how do you stay secure within yourself? To be honest I pray and thank GOD for having a blessed support system. I try to surround myself with positive enforcement and always try to look on the brighter side. Plus thinking before one speaks is a must because we as humans are always on the GO and we don't take a minute to STOP and BREATH and actually SMELL THE ROSES! If we took a second to realize what we say to others could effect their self esteem their day or their LIFE. Its up to us to be the captain of our ship and to stay clear of negativity and to embrace the not so perfect because in LIFE nothing is 100% perfect. I think having a flaw even if its small is very attractive. That is why I am a supporter of TEAM TRUE BEAUTY. Please follow them on twitter and online to stay posted about future events. 


                                                   " TEAM TRUE BEAUTY PANEL"

I recently spoke on a TEAM TRUE BEAUTY Panel in California this past month and had the pleasure of meeting a new friend of mine by the name of TAYRIN. 

Tayrin has a very emotional and touching story that she shared with us at the Team True Beauty panel and had the chance to speak on the panel with us where she shared her story and how DEARTAYRIN came about. 

                                                              " DEARTAYRIN"

"DearTayrin" is a non profit organization who's purpose is to raise awareness and educate on sexual abuse while empowering those victimized throughout the Western New York area and abroad by providing awareness events, educational classes and other forms of support.  DearTayrin was founded in April of 2012 and since then has had numerous things happen such as:
June-July of 2012 - An educational class with the CEM After school program.  The group consisted of 15 girls (Age groups of 12-15) and out of those 15 girls - 12 girls came out with their own struggles and issues in life.
August of 2012 - Awareness Event which was held at Spot Coffee with over 50 attendees, 5 musicians, 2 scheduled to say their own story and 1 unscheduled gave her own story right at the event.
First Twitter Chat w/ then Miss NY and Now Miss America Mallory Hagan which was a collaboration and A twitter chat w/ Mr. Gay Buffalo 2012.
Amount of followers between Facebook and Twitter has grown to over 600 within the first year.
My goal this year is to continue to educate myself, do speaking engagements, create support groups (right now i have in mind to do a coffee time support group for victims including a licensed counselor who's on board w/ DearTayrin)

Here is the link to the first DearTayrin event -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHeVhpRcl44

Please follow DearTayrin at:

Facebook: www.facebook.com/deartayrin
Twitter: www.twitter.com/dear-tayrin

Here is also the link to Tayrin's story when she spoke to the Team True Beauties at the panel they recently had, please share on in hopes to touch someone else. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4nGamoAlCMTeam True


Tayrin is an amazing individual. I am beyond impressed with her inner strength and courage it took for her to share not only her story to us at the Team True Beauty panel but to the world. Many people on a daily basis deal with abuse in many different ways and DearTayrin's message touched my soul to the core. That I had to share these two great support systems with you all. Please follow DearTayrin online and help spread the word you may know someone or maybe you YOURSELF has struggled with abuse. Please know that you are not alone and with the on going help and support of DearTayrin you can help share your story with others and finally seek that closure and retain the help that you need to help get you to your next chapter in life. 



         If you would like to be a DearTayrin Advocate please read the following below:

                                 "Tayrin and myself at the TEAM TRUE BEAUTY PANEL"

A DearTayrin advocate will have to be a high profile person that is in full support of the cause and wouldn't mind dedicating a short amount of time in either answering tweets or emails. (All tweets and emails will be monitored by DearTayrin) The advocate would be required to sign a volunteer agreement. Also, the individual would be a representation to DearTayrin so the individual would also have to try to be at any DearTayrin events.  Which right now are only happening once a year other than that it's educational programs which in that case if the individual wanted to they could send words of encouragement to the group in some way.  Maybe doing some short video clips giving words of encouragement or speaking about DearTayrin campaigns, etc. They have an advising counsel who is on board so they would be able to draft up a volunteer agreement that would be signed to volunteer for the campaign and after one year if the individual wants to stay on board then they can go from there.

Closing Message:

At the end of the day it is up to us to be tuned in to our feelings and the feelings of others. To be a positive light and product of your own world and environment. Help spread the word about these two amazing support groups. All it takes is one person and that one person could be YOU!

Yours Truly,

Summer Must Haves

Its that time of year where everyone always asks me Alisa what do you do to get prepared for the Summer time? After the holidays I always gain a few pounds and make it a new years resolution to hit the gym and eat healthy. Below are a few of my personal must haves that helped get me back on track this past year that I had to share with you all. Beauty Anyone? Makeup Time: My fav lip color that is always in my makeup bag is Revlon's hot new Orange. Every brand has their version you just need to know what works for you and your pocket. My new lipstick from revlon only costs me 10 bucks. Add a pretty gloss thats clear for the night with a cat eye and the boys will be sure to look your way. Skin kiss: Stila Makeup has some great bronzers for the perfect J-Lo Glow. Try their illuminate set that gives that touch of sunkist to your cheeks as if you were at the beach all day. Man-Pedi Anyone? I am so into the new OPI neon colors, pink and orange and even blue are a must for your beach toes this summer. Hair Love: I am so obsessed with CLEAR. Its a new hairline that gives your roots and ends the protein and nutrients it needs. After one wash my hair felt so smooth and fresh. Its only costs 6 dollars on sale its a steal and a must have. Its always good to try something new. I did and now I am in love. Bikini what? My new summer suit is Aqua. Bright colors area must. Bright colors with tan skin is a perfect match. Be sure to where sun block. Thats a must. Try new colors and maybe a retro style that brings you to another era but modern. Check out People.com for great ideas for summer beauty. Sunny days: Beach time is what makes summer fun. Plan a beach day with your friends pack a pinic and cooler and take pictures and share them with the world. Making memories during the summer always is special and never forgettable. Spend time with your family. Beautiful weather makes you want to enjoy life and be outside. I love to hike. Try something new it might surprise you. Dont forget to hit your local pool parties whether you are in Vegas, Miami, Ny or La, have your own BBQ just whatever you do dont waste a beautiful day. Activity: Be sure to work out go to the gym take a walk, hike with a friend. Go swimming that is a great way to burn calories. A program that I am a fan of is Loseit.com You track your calories and add your food and activity. It tells you how much you can lose at a realistic time line. Enjoy Life: Have fun read a book see a movie, have dinner with the girls grab a beer with the guys. Live your life travel if you can and stop and take a break to be with the ones you love. Take time to meditate thank your greater being which for me is God. Learn to let go and relax. If you can follow those suggestions I think you will have one great summer. Thanks for reading, Yours Truely, Alisa

11-11-11

Today I woke with the intentions of attending a two hour yoga/meditation class at a certain yoga school I attend every now and then. Today is a very special day its the one day out of the year that is 11-11-11. When I got to the school I found out that you had to buy tickets for this class ahead of time so I asked if there was a waiting list or a chance that I could attend the class and they told me that they highly doubt it. That it would be best if I left because there were about 300 attendees and they were also planning on u streaming it if I wanted to watch it online. When I left the school this morning I became very emotionally and abit confused and very fusterated. The fact that I have been planning this day for the past week and to know that I could not attend this very class made my heart sad. I looked at their online info and I didnt see anything that stated that I needed to buy a ticket or if there was a waiting list. The lady said to me before I walked away that I will end up where I need to me today. I said to myself where I want to be is here but maybe where I need to be is HOME. When I got home I lite a candle and prayed to my Lord Jesus Christ and asked to help me get through today and to find a meaning as to why things didnt flow for me this morning. I believe things happen for a reason and that maybe I didnt attend this class because it was up to ME to find my inner light and to know that things might not always go as planned but as long as I stay true to my heart that things will flow and I will become more aware and have a better understanding of things. I had no urge to go on their online u stream I had no urge to reach out through yoga after I left. I debated on going on a hike but I wanted nothing more then to come home pray and take a small nap. Now I am awake and I feel somewhat drained. Today I was told is a day of detox and healing. Its a day of quietness. Stillness. I know that there are many people out there doing their own version of what they feel is special for themselves on this special day. Even though I was disappointed I realized that we arent always going to get what we want. Maybe I didnt need this class maybe todays meaning is within myself my soul. I dont know exacly what 11-11-11 is all about but I do know its a special day and I do feel some sort of shift energy wise. I am abit heavy minded today and miss my mother that passed away a few years ago. I know that I have amazing people around me and that my GOD is always watching over me as well as my animal spirits. I have my cat laying next to me right now as I write this blog. I just wanted to share with you all how I feel on this day. May all of you find some sort of meaning to today if you feel connected in some way. I wish you all many blessings and much love. I cant thank you all enough for the out pour of love you all of shown me. I truly and deeply love you all. May you all have many blessings for the rest of the year and for the new year to come. Thank you for reading this thought I had and may the light always shine within you and shine within you to share with others.

Yours Truly

Alisa

COMIKAZE EXPO-ALL THAT REUNION PANEL

Comikaze Expo Presents the Iconic Cast of “All That” In An Exclusive, First Ever, One-Time Only Reunion Extravaganza Comikaze Expo is All That!! Appearances and antics by the hilarious cast of Nickelodeon’s award-winning sketch comedy series promise an event to remember.

Comikaze Expo, the largest multimedia pop culture, comic book, horror, anime and gaming convention in California, aka the Los Angeles Comic-Con, has announced appearances by the hilarious cast of Nickelodeon’s award-winning sketch comedy series, All That. This reunion extravaganza takes place November 5, 2011 at the Los Angeles Convention Center and features appearances by Kel Mitchell, Nick Cannon, Lisa Foiles, Jack DeSena, Alisa Reyea, Katrina Johnson, Mark Saul, Leon Frierson, Angelique Bates, Giovonnie Samuels, Chelsea Brummet and Bryan Hearne.

All That rocked the world every Saturday night on Nickelodeon’s SNICK for 10 years. While teaching kids the intricacies of sketch comedy and burp jokes, the iconic show also launched the careers of Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, and Amanda Bynes, as well as everyone’s favorite cast member: The Big Ear of Corn. An All That panel discussion and autograph signing offers attendees the chance to find out if Kiki ever got off “Kiki’s Island,” and ask why “Repairman” did his own echo or if that was real sugar and coffee in “Sugar and Coffee.”

Comikaze Expo is thrilled to present the cast of the most successful kid’s sketch comedy show of all time, and the show’s stars share the same sentiments. “I am excited to be a part of Comikaze Expo and get a chance to see our loyal and true fans alongside my family from All That!” said Alisa Reyes, All That Seasons 1-3.” It’s an honor and pleasure to be involved with this grand event!” Lisa Foiles, All That Seasons 7-10, said, “Not only do I get to see my All That pals again after all these years, I get to see them at an awesome comic expo? So I can have a reunion AND geek out?! Comikaze, get ready for a party!”

The first and only multimedia, cross-genre expo to hit Los Angeles, Comikaze Expo has created a pop culture extravaganza that brings together the best in comics, gaming, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, anime and all other cult programming. Its wide-ranging appeal has attracted celebrity appearances from icons and budding artists of this exciting world, including animators, comic book and anime artists, special effects teams, writers, actors, and filmmakers, among other creators, from both the mainstream and geek worlds. The event is deemed the Los Angeles Comic-Con and much more.

Comikaze will kick off with appearances by the father of modern comics, Stan Lee, and Comikaze’s official “Spooksperson,” horror icon Elvira, at the event’s ribbon-cutting ceremony. Elvira’s participation marks her official last convention appearance ever.

In an effort to make Comikaze accessible to everyone, tickets are only $12 each, and children under 12 are FREE, making this family event the largest convention of its kind in Los Angeles—at the best price. Each ticket holder will receive their choice of a celebrity lithograph photo valued at $79-$189. This unparalleled event’s wide range of innovative programming and activities provide fans access to their favorite artists and creators. From independent film screenings, live shows and star-studded panels to fan contests, games, portfolio reviews and a masquerade ball, there is something for everyone and more at Comikaze.
