Daysy's Big News!

Lisa shares Daysy's Cinderella story (and some before and after pics).

Dec 20, 2012

This interesting journey has finally reached its end for now. I’ve grown so much from this whole experience. I have become a better, stronger person and have learned so much as a result.

We originally were going to go to the famous healing hole in Bimini, but since the weather did not agree, Marysol suggested we cleanse ourselves of our problems and misfortunes with fresh flowers in the ocean. Although I felt it was silly and would not be as beneficial as the actually Bimini healing hole, I went with it. Truthfully I just wanted to get it over with. Being so open with all the women there felt uncomfortable, since not all of us are or were that close at the time. The healing ceremony did not heal Joanna and Adriana's relationship like Adriana acknowledged. Adriana did open her heart to setting a date with Fredric. Marysol hoped to get the strength to move on from a marriage that just didn't work, Ana from whom I was surprised to see so much emotion, also made up her mind that it was time to finally sign the divorce papers and begin the new chapter in her life after being married for 23 years. Alexia wished for strength and a speedy full recovery for her son. Joanna realized she could not live without Romain and that she indeed wants to marry him. Lea wished us all well. I spoke for Karent because she couldn't be there and deserved to be part of the ceremony. I of course hoped to rid of whatever is holding Lenny and I back from moving forward in our marriage and starting a family. Although I felt a little silly, it was touching and symbolic of our experiences throughout the season.

Hi Lisa, please have a rethink in regards to yours & Joanna's friendship. I know you are a wonderful person & I can see why you would try to be friends with the women on the show however I do see why Joanna would be a little hurt over your friendship with Adriana. I know you would never intentionally hurt anyone sp please understand that I am not saying that but considering how close you Joanna & Karent were & some of the other ladies viciousness in particular towards Karent & then Joanna's fight with Adriana who was being a true friend to Karent I think that maybe it might have looked more loyal towards Joanna for you to have still been friendly with Adriana but kept a bit of a distance at the same time. I know that you are an adult & am not saying that you shouldn't talk to someone just because your friend doesn't like them but because she was defending Karent who you both know was being ganged up on & the fact that you three were close friends I can understand why she would feel a bit hurt. I think you need to watch your back with Adriana as well as tonight I watched the episode of your party & all I could think was that Adriana was evil & that she is the one stirring the pot. I hope you & Joanna sort through things & find your friendship once again & although I would hate to see you hurt, I hope you soon see Adriana's true colours for yourself as you are too sweet to be friends with someone like her.

Lisa,

you were one of the nicer women, but you seem a bit naive with some of your friendships, like karent and and joanna.

cgarden 647 pts

You are a kind and sweet person, kind hearted. A good friend. I see right through what some might perceive as phony and fake. I love that you really care for and stay loyal to your friends unlike most of the others. Hope you get that baby!

Lisa, You're finally seeing the "real" Joanna. Hopefully, you'll get to see the "real" Karent (whoever she is) too. Don't be afraid to stand on your own in this group or any other. You have a good head on your shoulders and don't need the Leas or Kramers of the world to get anywhere- you're already there. Good luck to you and Lenny with starting your family and with your new home.

I loved you when you confided in Lea and I thought her advice was excellent and very caring.  You are a good girl with a heart full of love.  You have much happiness ahead!  You will be a fantastic mom!

Lisa, you're fabulous! So much more class and intelligence than you are given credit for. Watch out for Joanna. She is only out for Joanna. You were owed an apology after your event that she ruined, and for her to tell you at the reunion that she didn't apologize because she has "other things going on in her life" shows how selfish and bratty she is. You deserve a better friend than that.

Life is hard and sometimes we can't have it all. but I hope you get pregnant soon :)

Although positioned to be the 'barbie' at the beginning of the season - I'm sure the producers doing - you proved to be one of the more respectable, intelligent and thoughtful woman on the show.

Lisa ... As a viewer I can't help think that Daisy is an opportunistic person.  She is feeding off of your kindness and taking advantage of you and Lenny.

You show more class and wisdom than you are given credit for.  Much, much more than a pretty face!

My husband wanted children and i couldnt give him that .. We talked about adoption and he said he wanted his own children.. impossible .. Nothing i could do but he loved me and knew how bad I wanted them too..  It was hard for us to talk about it and we did feel that missing in our lives.  I was talking to a friend with cps and she told us about being a foster parent.. we did to 4 siblings and ended up adopting them...   Thanks to god we found each other..  they needed us as much as we needed them...  they are our kids.. and my husband who only wanted his own ..says now he got them..  I pray that you can have children but if not than they are out there waiting for you...   I know you would be an awesome mother...

A p.s. to my original comment...I really am so sorry to hear of the passing of your boxer, Puffy.  I know how much it hurts as my husband and I lost our "little girl" Sunshine.  As we called her mostly, Sunny, was almost 14 yrs when she passed away on October 22.  She had been very sick with pneumonia near the beginning of the year.  She never did heal completely.  As with your Puffy, Sunny passed away in my arms.  As much as it hurt, at least she was with us and surrounded my love when she also went to the rainbow bridge.  Again, my deepest sympathy to both you and your husband.  I truly share your pain.

deej1545 14 pts

I beg of you to please, please ask your amazing husband to work his magic on my body.  From the day I turned 50, my body and self-esteem has gone nowhere but downwards!  He did such an astounding job on Daysy.  I had no idea such work was possible!  On a more realistic note, I applaud you for being so kind and restrained during the reunion.  Such a shame that you were not able to express your feelings and thoughts as much as the others. I must believe that your insight and comments would have been more valuable.  My best wishes to you and your husband for 2013.  And my biggest wish for you is that you are able to have the baby you so long for...I can't imagine a more loving mother!  Much love and care!!

Hang in there on the house and fight for your right to rebuild your home on Star Island.  I dealt with a similar situation in Atlanta and eventually everything worked out.   Bitter underachievers seem to be motivated to turn into crusaders when they get to poo poo the dreams of people they are probably jealous of.  Good luck to you!

rosyposy 2860 pts

You were the mildest mannered one on the show, and actually very likeable.  I hope you become a mommy in the near future.  Watch out who you hang with, the nastiness might rub off.

LISA! you are hands down the best on RHOM. You have such strong character and beliefs. YOu're not catty or divisive. I love that you are loyal to all and don't choose sides. There needs to be more people like you on the show! I hope and wish you and Lenny all the success with your home, family and everything else!

rosalinda.romero.77985 124 pts

Lisa, you are great to watch, funny and smart.  I think people overlook your intelligence, but I sure didn't.  You also can naturally read people.  You are a lady.  Lenny is lucky to have found such a beautiful and loving human being to share his life with.  

 

 I was surprised at the reunion that no one had apologized and that's what has made me want to write.  Your charity event was awesome. I don't think people meant to disrespect you.  It all just happened like a domino effect.  No one was thinking.  Consider yourself such a great hostess that everyone felt at home.  :-)

 

What happened at your house was preventable.  I saw two big bouncer looking guys next to you when you yelled at everyone... which was great by the way!  You totally took charge.  I figured you knew all of that was going to happen since you didn't tell them to stop the fights. Were they your security?  That's who I'd be questioning! They just sort of looked on while you put everyone in their place and got things back under control.  Anyway, next time you have a big party like that, things will go far better!

 

That night you showed you have a very loud roar for a little girl.... that was my favorite scene all season!  Seriously, when you went off at your party, I loved it.  You didn't need Lenny or anyone else.  It was a definitive moment for you in my eyes.  You are very spunky and I don't think anyone will be able to mess with you. 

 

I hope you are back next season.  You are the only level headed one who is truly kind to everyone, open minded, and reasons for herself.  Good luck with the baby making.  I envision a baby bump by next season!

I think that you are the cutest and sweetest person that has ever appeared on the Housewife franchise. Keep being your authentic person and I really hope you and Lea form a real friendship! Praying for a baby for you and your husband!

Lisa - your husband is a lucky man... you are both beautiful inside and out...  You were amazing both during the show and at the reunion...  You are the Bomb gurl... You remind me of my sister and my best friend...   You are my favorite on the show... I wish you and your husband the best and success in having a family... whether it be natural or by adoption...

Lisa,

 

I think you betrayed Joanna by becoming buddies with Adriana. Adrianna was cruel to Karent and Joanna and as their friend you should have kept a friendly distance.

Lisa, you rock.  It appears that you have never been anything but kind and considerate to those in your life.  I love that you are a beautiful woman who is also thoughtful, intelligent and articulate. 

annyseyz1204 6 pts

I am just watching the reunion.  Boy did I have all you women wrong.  The ladies on the sofa with you (other than you) in the beginning I wasn't so crazy about.  Now, I think the other sofa should be renamed the "mean girls sofa'.  I really felt bad for Karent and you as they just attack attack attack.  Wow, talk about mean and nasty.  You have always been the nice lady.  I wonder why Alexis is as mean as she is.  Well, stay nice Leah, Llsa and Karent! 

BrazilianGeek 18 pts

Lisa, you are the only one that seems beautiful inside and out. You are so kind to Daisy and I'm sure soon enough you will make a great mom. Write a book on how to be sexy. I know at least 100 women that would kill to have your sex appeal.

imarelic100 6723 pts

 Lisa, so glad you were added to the cast - there's hope for this show yet!

Sorry to hear about Puffy, he was beautiful! One door closes and... another one opens!

Good luck with EVERYTHING - you're adorable, intelligent and funny!

Hope to see you next season!

Isabel87 470 pts

I really did not know what to think of you at first.   I was afraid because yourself and Joanna were so young you might get eaten alive by the other women.    The scene that won me over is when you went to your husbands office with a picture of yourself and put it up.   I actually laughed out loud.    You go girl!!!   Please forgive Joanna for not calling you back, she is being viciously attacked by someone you still associate with so she is just trying to protect herself I suspect.   I will pray for  beautiful babies for you and your nice husband.

cgarden 647 pts

Much to my surprise you have turned out to be one of my faves! I see you have a great heart, and always trying to help others...I am very much like that too. People will look at you and assume one thing but in fact, you are a sweetheart. I will say though at 29, you are a baby, please no more plastic surgery...you don't need it and at a certain point it actually makes some look older in trying to preserve themselves. I wish you luck with a baby....I know you will be a mother sooner than later, and you will be a wonderful one at that! Enjoy you very much!

rosyposy 2860 pts

fI am sure someone has already mentioned this, but I just realized it for the first time.  The reason Lea treated you so badly (and rudely) when first introduced was a complete, knock down jealous attack.  She was already resentful that you purchased the house she wanted so badly, and then she met you.  There it was, a beautiful, younger woman living in HER dream house.  It really is quite funny, and so typical of Lea.  I was watching a rerun of an old show about Lea looking for houses on the island, and for the first time paid attention to how she was upset that the house she wanted had already been sold.

gnoy 275 pts

After watching the reunion show part 1, I have grown to like you. In the beginning you seemed to be biased towards one side but now I think you see the light. You are now fair and a voice  of reason. I especially like the way you treat your maid. Not all wealthy people treat their maids with kindness and be happy that they have a better life. 

 

I do hope you have a child and I feel your pain. I wish you all the best in this endeavour. 

Missycal 60 pts

I really like you. Just a little disappointed to see you defending psycho Adriana. I don't think she'd hesitate to stab you in the back (or the face). Johana is a good friend to you. I think she deserves the same back.

ImaFarmGirl 36 pts

I think you have a good heart, but it's hard for me to get past all the plastic surgery you've had. Not that I'm against a woman having work done, believe me!  But all in moderation, IMHO.  At 28 I just don't see need for so much Botox.  You look like you would be so beautiful without it. Don't be afraid of a wrinkle, or two, it's part of life.  Real men don't want Barbies, they want  a woman who can get real, who has something of her own and a mind of her own, who's smart and caring, who contributes something to her household, besides her beauty, and yes, a woman who also takes care of herself.

 

I think that the less pressure you put on yourself to be physically "perfect", the more relaxed you'll be, the less stress you'll put on your body, and the greater the chance for getting pregnant.  Just my opinion.  I'll probably get hammered by the other posters for posting this, but it's how I feel. 

 

 

mrsdonut 2197 pts

@ImaFarmGirl ......I agree with you. I think living in Miami adds pressure to be 'perfect'. I had a friend who was beautiful just the way she was. She moved to Miami and within one year, she'd had her nose and breasts done, as well as Botox. When I saw her, I hardly recognized her. Plus, she looked like all the other girls in Miami- there was nothing unique about her at all. BTW- Botox is actually Botulism (caused by bacteria). If botulism were found in a restaurant's kitchen, the health dept. would shut them down, so why would anyone want to inject that in their face?!

JCS 53 pts

I'm so glad you were added to the show because it needs someone level-headed and reasonable since all the others argue like high school mean girls.  You are a breath of fresh air and add maturity to the show which it needs otherwise i would have a hard time watching.  You are my favorite personality on the show!

Mattie10 6 pts

Hello Lisa, I think you are a great addition to this show. I feel for you with your pregnancy situation. I know that it is none of my business, but I just want to share with you that I too had multiple miscarriages. I could get pregnant with no problems, but holding on to them was not happening. The doctor checked me and found that I didn't produce enough progesterone for the egg to attach to the wall. If they haven't tried that, please have them test for that. I have had 2 beautiful children since that problem was resolved. There is always hope. I wish you and your husband love and happiness. I look forward to seeing you next season.

Annie555 102 pts

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa!!! You're such a pleasant surprise to me, and I'm sure to all of the viewers.  You're so sweet and genuine, you opened up your heart and soul to the viewers.  Please don't give into the pressure of changing by becoming a 'bully' or 'mean girl' stay true to your own.  I wish you and Lenny nothing but happiness in starting a family.  

tktxoxo 113 pts

Lisa i absolutely love you. If it weren't for you this show would be a bunch of mean nasty girls being cruel to each other. You can just tell by reading what the viewers say in your blog as opposed to what the viewers say in Ana's or adrianna's blogs. You are the most popular housewife and you reign well above all the rest. Please get your own show or something so you dont have to be associated with this trash called adrianna, ana, and marisol. Many blessings to you and your husband that you may have a beautiful family that you can continue to share your love.

Lisa I love you more and more each episode and especially after the reunion. You are really the voice of reason, encouraging Joanna to accept Adriana's apology ...there were so many examples.  

 

Best of luck to you!
