We also wanted to inspire them to be happy with who they are by enhancing the natural beauty they were born with," says Brandi. The Blossom self-care line of products is named after the four oldest Wallace daughters - Bailey, Bexley, Brooklyn and Berry. The Wallaces had four daughters when the company was started and recently had another baby girl whose name is Blossom. The Blossom girls are sisters and best friends and they know that being bold, smart and strong is the key to looking and feeling good. "At Blossom we feel that girls should not 'make up' their face, but should care for their face. By using only natural, pure and gentle ingredients, Blossom is formulated to work with the delicate needs of blooming skin. With four unique collections, for skin, hair, bath and body, every product is personalized to work with a variety of complexions," explains Brandi.

And David Birch, former head of a research firm specializing in small business data, found that 85 percent of businesses fail in their first year. While those new businesses range from home-based, online and traditional brick and mortar establishments, most of these businesses have one thing in common - they need equipment to be able to operate successfully and avoid becoming one of Birch's statistics. But because there are costs, often large ones, associated with starting a new business, many business owners are faced with the question of whether to buy or lease equipment. Commercial leasing expert and founder of Lease with Crystal, Crystal Riley reveals the four questions every business owner should ask before buying or leasing equipment.

She is the dramaturg for IUP's current production of King Henry IV Part I. "As a dramaturg, I am typically in charge of much of the research and writing behind a theatrical production. This role, however, is different for every production, and I design my own process with each show I work on. In The Beauty Queen of Leenane, historical research beyond the basics was not necessary so I approached it emotively for both the company and the audience's emotional response and understanding. "I solely worked with history during Kindertransport, and for the department's current production of King Henry IV Part I, I am working to bring the understanding between the true history of England to the theatrical history created by Shakespeare." In her role as dramaturg, she also helps company with any questions, builds a web site for reference and tries to inspire the artists involved to use the resources provided to further their own knowledge and research for the production. Sabol also uses a lobby display and program notes to further understanding, interest, and experience at the theater. "I enjoy my dramaturgical work because it incorporates what I most enjoy about producing theatre--history and criticism behind a production or script," she said. "When I was in high school, I was an actor and learned to love theatre by performing. Now, as an academic, I have grown to appreciate theatre more and more through dissecting scripts, choices, etc. and helping others to have a similar academic experience." Sabol continues to evolve her dramaturgy skills by taking on the dramaturg role. "With Jessica's double major in English and theater and her exceptional writing skills, she has grown considerably in her dramaturgy skills despite only discovering last year that she had an interest in this area," said Barb Blackledge, chair of IUP's theater and dance department. "She did a masterful job in serving as dramaturg for our fall production of The Beauty Queen of Leenane. She was able to use this opportunity to exhibit her excellent work on this production at the festival as well as the competition exhibits there." The Beauty Queen of Leenane was one of only seven in IUP's competition region, which includes all of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Washington, D.C., invited to perform at the Region II KCACTF at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh in January. "Honestly, the biggest enhancement of both my interest and skills was attending the regional KCACTF," said Sabol, who was selected for the national competition for her outstanding achievement at regional festivals. "At the festival I was able to see others work, get feedback on my work, and attend sessions about dramaturgy. I found flaws in my work and got new ideas and approaches from these opportunities in Pittsburgh, and I have since worked to better my product as I work with King Henry IV Part I this spring."
