$300 OFF PERMANENT MAKEUP&nbsp;
It wouldn’t be a shocker for you to hear that every lady wishes to look her absolute best from the minute she gets up. However, as we know, the reality is pretty much different, and every morning we require quite the amount of time to spend on putting makeup on, starting with the contouring and ending with lipstick application. That leads to the thought that it would be just perfect to get up already wearing makeup so that you do not need to spend so much time on your morning preparations. Wait a minute, but there is a way out! The thing is that modern permanent makeup is exactly what you need to make a dream come true! 
CC STYLING STUDIO was offering $300 off any Permanent Makeup procedure

Cohen’s work attempts to capture fleeting scenes; he sees himself as a collector as much as a creator of these images. The subjects are not typically a person or object, but rather the light itself, its reflection or, in the case of deep shadows, the absence of light.

This class includes guided meditations, a teaching, and chanted prayers for world peace. After class, there will be an optional pancake meal available in our World Peace Cafe.
We can all do something to contribute to world peace! In this class, we are creating world peace in two main ways. We are making prayers together for world peace, and we are also creating inner peace. Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. When we create peace within our own mind, it ripples out to create peace in our world.
“If everyone were to practice cherishing others, many of the major problems of the world would be solved in a few years.” – Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, How to Transform Your Life
Each week we explore a practical topic within Buddha’s teachings to help you bring more positivity and peace into your daily life, or overcome negativity and painful ways of thinking.

Trad Music Jam | Sunday, May 5, 1:30-4:30 p.m. | Free. (Donations graciously accepted.)
Feel free to bring snacks to share.
“Trad-Roots Music” refers to a blend of tunes and songs descended through an oral history, passed along through the socio-cultural interactions of communities around the globe that have made their way to the US. To keep the music simple enough for everyone to join in, we encourage the sharing of melodies and songs that have a simple chord structure of 2, 3 or 4 chords – typically in the I, IV, V, vi and ii structure. Chord charts for the selected tunes of the Slow Jam will be provided on a flip chart.
Fogartyville jams are all about sharing music, making new friends, and enjoying a relaxing afternoon listening to and playing acoustic music. Hosted by inspiring jam leaders, each gathering will introduce music, tips and skills to uplift the listening and playing enjoyment of all. The events will begin with a Slow Jam, followed by more advanced playing. All acoustic instruments are welcome.
The focus for jammers is to share a common goal of playing as one united sound and establish a cohesive groove. Tunes and tempos will be intended for folks who have at least an upper beginner level of ability on their instrument of choice, but beginners are welcome too, and advanced players are highly encouraged to come early to support the Slow Jam, or to come later for the Up-to-Speed jam. Only acoustic instruments will be permitted. There will be one electronic keyboard available.
For those writing original material, please check our Singer-Songwriter series, where your original work is welcomed to be performed!
