What is my PrayerBox- on Fox 11 News TONIGHT
hose of you who have followed my blog, you also know about my beloved Prayer Box I’ve placed at the steepest tip top of Runyon Canyon, a beautiful hillside hike here in Hollywood, California. I first had the vision for this box 2 years ago after an overwhelming sense of gratitude for each day that I’ve taken to hike to the top to pray and “reset” for the day ahead. I wondered if every other person who takes the time to hike these two tall mountains felt the same way after reaching the top… knowing that no matter how hard it feels, how badly you don’t feel like doing it, if you believe and put your best foot forward, you WILL.
Finally, my wonderful hubz made the first box and although it had some mysterious encounters, it had been there for almost a year as it filled up each day with prayers stuffed inside. There were so many prayers that I had to assign friends (thank you Grace and Eliot!) to come every other day if I was away to fill it with more paper and bring some prayers down to friends who can’t make it to the top. Anyone is always invited to send me prayers that I’ll take to the top, with a promise to have one from the box sent back from me. My dear friend Jaeson Mah also created an incredible movie that features the box in his documentary 1040, that features the prayer box. I can’t tell you how exciting it is to receive regular prayers from all over the world, my first from Ghana last week, different languages like Korean, Spanish, and even Hebrew- I even received a prayer from a 6 year old girl named Janie from Ohio who just started writing cursive!
Anyway, it came time that the box needed to be upgraded. In came the answer to my own prayer, Stavros, my dear friend who became the carpenter to bring the PrayerBox 2.0 to life. With prayers of patience and working hours into the night, the box was made, brought to Clairefoster who kicked in the dopest art skillz over the box, and bam. Here’s a pic him and PB 2.o, once it was brought to the top.
Instructions are simple: Leave a prayer, take a prayer.
It’s been only a month that the box has been up and already it’s filling up again. Prayers of hope, peace, individual prayers for loved ones who are hurt, broken, or just in need of love. It’s incredible. So just recently, a fan of the box and brilliant writer/reporter/world traveler/foodie David Fleming, contacted me to cover a story about the box on Fox 11 News. I accepted, more than anything to share my faith that prayer is hope in action, and to encourage everyone to Pray it Forward. The PrayerBox story will air TONIGHT 5/25 10PM on Fox 11 News, and TOMORROW 5/26 morning.
I just realized I look like I’m rapping in this picture.
Anyway enjoy the story tonight, please do make it out to the box if you’re here in LA, or email me at jmail@iheartjeanniemai.com to get your prayers to the top. (Include mailing address if you’d like a prayer sent back.)
As a community together, we each can keep each other lifted in faith and love. Heart you guys. So freakin much

Christian Louboutin Patent Leather Ankle Boots
These jaw-dropping booties are sexy for any time of the year! What’s fun about warmer weather seasons is that fashion is much more malleable and flexible. These boots may be dark and seem a little harsh for the summer months, but they’d look absolutely stunning paired with a flowy, flowery dress. I love the juxtaposition of the hard shoe with the feminine, loose fitted clothing, and these are the perfect boots to add a little sex appeal to your summer look!

Beauty Q&A with Mario Dedivanovic on Spring '10 Makeup Trends
BX: What do you think are the hottest new makeup trends?
MD: Lashes! I’m a big fan of lashes and I think we’ll be seeing longer, thicker and fuller lashes in 2010. Tanned/bronzed skin will be big also. (The fake kind, hopefully.)
BX: Will bright bold lips last through spring or fizzle out?
MD: Bright bold lips will certainly last through the spring. In fact, they will last forever for many women. A bold lip is gorgeous with no other color on the face and a nice, full lash.
BX: What about cat eyes? Will the winged liner look hold out this year?
MD: For sure. The winged liner is another look that will always be in style to many woman. I think we’ll see cat eyes all over the place and maybe done in metallic and different shades of liner.
BX: Do you think mineral foundations will continue to be just as popular with the everyday woman? What about at home airbrush systems?
MD: Mineral Foundations will be even more popular with women. I think companies will be coming out with more advanced, anti-aging formulas as well. Home airbrush systems are very cool; however I think it’s a very hard sell and not the most user friendly.
BX: If there’s one item a woman should add to her beauty arsenal right now, what is it and why?
MD: A foundation that matches her skin. The skin should look flawless always. Everything else is just “extra.”

Your go-to makeup look
Makeup Mondays With Mario: Beautiful and Bronzed
The first thing you should do is stop tanning! There is nothing that will heal or correct the negative effects that tanning has on your skin. You may not see the damage today, but it will appear later in life. I am, however, a fan of self tanners and use them myself. Try L'oreal Paris Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Salon Airbrush Self-Tanning Mist. It's very easy to use yourself, comes out evenly and does not smell bad. If you prefer a creme or lotion, try the St.Tropez tanning line which has unique products to help you look tan and healthy. Whichever products you choose to use, you should always exfolliate you skin prior to application, avoid too much product on the elbows, feet, knees and any area that tends to get blotchy. Also keep your toenails and fingernails covered in Vaseline when appyling self tanner, as they will stain the nails an unnatractive yellow shade of yellow. Moisturize with a non-oily moisturizer to preserve the color longer. It's alot of work keeping your face and body beautiful and bronzed but it's worth it. Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays with Mario!xo,Mario
