Lena I am a wee bit jealous but crossing my fingers to join you. What a FAB way to celebrate your birthday with a once and a life time experience. XO
It really is Tammy, thank you! Fingers crossed for you!
Have fun! Wear something comfy, dressy and bright. Oprah loves green and purple. I asked Adam Glassman, what to wear when I met her. He said a really nice pair of fancy jeans and a sparkly top. You will love her!
Oooh, thanks so much for the tip! I can definitely do green or purple :)
So lucky! Make you sure you post the pic!
I certainly will! Thanks Deb!

Thank you Lisa! It’ll be a good one!
I’m very happy for you Lena and on your birthday too! Who says 13 is bad luck. This means that you’re also closer to meeting Brad Pitt! ;)
Hahaha I LOVE the way you think! Though she has probably washed her hands since she last shook Brad Pitt’s hand (I hope)… LOL!
OMG Lena, crazy! I entered – I’m turning 35 this April too – I’ll spend your bday with you and Oprah for sure! :)
Good luck Elaine! Hope you’re one of the winners!

This would be an amazing one of a lifetime event! I would ask Oprah so much … lucky you!! Enjoy your time!
Thanks Heather! Now sure how much time we’ll have to chat, but I’ll be sure to get in at least a question or two!
Make sure to thank Oprah for retweeting me! :P
Oh, and tell Christine Magee to get in touch!
Hahaha done and done! I’ll be sure to let them know you’re interested!
You gotta wear layers! Remember the cheering and clapping and sweating from Toronto? Layers baby.
Ah yes, fabulous point! It was great to attend the Life Class with you!
