DREAM TEAM: LAURAWEINGER HOUSLEY

role as a spokeswoman and fundraiser for the Society. As a leukemia and bone marrow transplant survivor, she has some lingering symptoms of chemo affecting her memory & focus. I recommended NFZD FOCUS Mushroom powder with a blend of CBD, Cacao, and adaptogenic mushrooms to help restore cognitive brain function and cleanse her gut for better digestion. It also helps with depression and high blood pressure. I also suggested Promogranite Sleep gummies or HereNow Sleep Tincture with CBD & CBN for sleep. - Jill Cohen, TheCannaBossLady. Laura came to us looking to up her style game and bring a little more flair and edge to her everyday look. Her inspirational story is one of a strong mother who worked in different industries and professional venues while bringing up her kids and battling cancer. I wanted her to focus in on what makes her feel beautiful and stylish. We picked out 3 sharp looks in cool gem tones that highlight her light eyes and chic silver hair. She is comfortable and vibrant in a red leather blazer with a black sparkly top and black jeans. We had a blast during the photo shoot while she danced to Michael Jackson and Pitbull, perfect music choices to enhance the positivity of this styling experience. - Julie Perlow-Greene - Retail Therapy ——————-

Laura turned 62 years this past July, but she certainly does not feel it. She was raised in Nanuet, NY, and for the last 26 years, has been living in Maplewood with her husband, Ron, and two children, Sara, 25, and Matthew, 23. They have 2 cats. Right before the pandemic, Laura was volunteering at a Broadway Group Sales Company in Manhattan and hopes to return soon. She stays fit with morning walks, online Zumba, & volunteering with book distribution for MEND. Laura was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia in Dec 2000 and had a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor. She says the SOMA community is invaluable, and the love and support she received still bring tears to her eyes. She wanted to participate in the SOMA Dream Team because she is more interesting than her past illness. “ I really want a new “me” - new clothes, new hair (literally, as I lost mine), and a new lease on life. Now, since I let my hair go gray during the pandemic, stopped shopping for two years, and have trouble sleeping, The Dream Team is exactly what I need”!
