As the whole country prayed for little Faye Swetlik to be brought home safe, authorities came forward with the tragic news of her death.

The six-year-old was reported missing on Monday after she disappeared from the family’s home front yard where she was playing after getting back from school. Police activity was intensified in the Churchill Heights neighborhood and the yellow crime tape prevented anyone from coming in, even the residents. Houses, vehicles, and a great area of the wood and landfill was thoroughly searched.

Faye’s lifeless body was found on Thursday around 11 a.m not far from where she was last seen. Authorities launched a homicide investigation but didn’t report how the girl died.

“It is with extremely heavy hearts that we’re announcing we have found the body, that the coroner has identified as Faye Marie Swetlik,” Cayce Director of Public Safety Byron Snellgrove told reporters. “We are now treating this case as a homicide.” Officers found another body in the same area. It was of a deceased male who hasn’t been identified. They, however, believe the two cases aren’t related. No arrests have been made so far, but the Lexington County Coroner’s Office reported how the community shouldn’t feel endangered as they are doing their best to solve the case and are asking from the public to come forward with any information that would help the investigation. Sweet Faye was a vibrant little girl who loved art and had lots of friends. Her teachers, her classmates, and the whole community is left heartbroken and mourns her loss. Police shared a touching post on their Facebook page assuring Faye’s family and the country this case is far from over. We honestly hope who ever committed this horrific crime would end up behind bars as soon as possible. Rest in peace little angel!

Mom Who Had a Hard Time Getting Pregnant Ended Up Delivering 3 Sets of Twins in 5 Years

Most couple’s biggest dream is to become parents one day. For some, that comes naturally and with ease, but others spend years of trying before they welcome their bundle of joy into the world and into their lives. The latter often seek help from doctors, and they usually end up with miracle pregnancies.  

Andrea and Mark Rivas were over the moon when they learned they were expecting a baby. Sadly, they experienced a miscarriage, and no matter how deep that affected them, they never stopped trying. After two years of unsuccessful attempts they underwent an IVF procedure and became parents of twins Conor and Avery.  

Their fertility journey was filled with many sleepless nights, many mixed emotions, but at the end, it brought them children and friends for life. Sandi and Philip Palmisano were also trying to conceive for a longer period of time, but unlike Andrea and Mark, their treatments always failed. 

Having experienced the struggle themselves, the Rivas knew what their new friends were going through so they decided to step in. Andrea offered to be their surrogate and Sandi and Philip were beyond thankful.

During a check-up, the families learned Andrea was carrying twins again, and the Palmisanos couldn’t hide their excitement. Andrea helped them fulfill their greatest wish of becoming a mom and a dad. 

In February 2014, the Palmisano family got bigger. The new additions, babies EmmaLee and Grayson made their world a better place all thanks to Andrea and her husband. 

The life of both the families was a busy one. They had their hands full with work around the little ones who became best friends just like their parents.  

After the kids became toddlers, more great news came in. Andrea and Mark were expecting again and the ultrasound revealed something truly incredible. Are you guessing already? They were having twins again. 

This story is so uplifting that it makes us become better people ourselves and do good for others the way the Rivas did for the Palmisanos. 

Teacher Is Moved to Tears After Students Pitch in to Replace His Stolen Shoes

Teachers probably have one of the hardest jobs, not to mention they are neither paid, nor respected enough, but still, seeing their students turn into respected citizens and members of the community knowing they had their share is sometimes enough. 

We have heard of many stories where teachers go above and beyond for their students. They take it personally and not only make sure to pass down knowledge to everyone in their classroom, but also make sure they teach the students valuable life lessons. 

One teacher in particular, named Trey Payne from the Logan Fontenelle Middle School, can say he did right job educating his students when it comes to practicing positive values and principles. 

Namely, he bought himself some expensive basketball shoes recently and was glad he did, but someone stole them from his classroom. He could barely afford to get them in the first place, so replacing them with another pair was practically impossible. 

His students knew how sad it all made Mr. Payne so they decided to surprise him. 

They gave him a gift bag and a card and asked him to read it aloud. It can be seen from the video taken by one of the students that Mr. Payne is in complete disbelief. He reads the card silently and then reaches to open the bag. 

As he pulls the paper out of the gift bag, he can see there is a box inside and says, “I hope this isn’t shoes guys…Oh my…are you serious?”

He then opens it and sees brand new shows. This made him cry tears of joy as he couldn’t believe what he students did for him. 

His reaction is as touching as the students’ act of kindness. 

Speaking to KETV ABC 7, Mr. Payne said: “It’s more than a pair of shoes. It’s about doing things to build everyone up around you. I try to show my kids this and I think the lesson has sunk in for many, in turn, reaffirming my purpose and my ideals.”

What do you think of what the students did for their favorite teacher?

Woman Undergoes a Total of 9 Plastic Surgery Procedures In Order to Look Like Ivanka Trump

With all those TV shows and popular magazines showing celebrities and their lavish lifestyle and looks, it doesn’t really come as a surprise that ordinary people dream of ever getting the same. 

However, most of us look up to our favorite actors, singers, and other public figures completely unaware that they have a bunch of stylists and other people taking care of their looks every single day. On top of that, they have lots of money and can afford expensive clothes and make-up.

Sarah Schmidt is a lovely young lady who wasn’t satisfied with her appearance. Or better said, she just wanted to look like someone famous, in her case, the oldest daughter of President Trump, Ivanka.  

In order to achieve Ivanka’s signature looks, Schmidt underwent total of 9 plastic surgeries. Sadly, most people agree that even after the weeks of healing she had to go through after the procedures, she doesn’t resemble her idol even a bit. 

Vanity Fair searched a bit further and reported how all of the surgeries were done by plastic surgeon Dr. Franklin A. Rose for free. Yes, Schmidt didn’t pay a dime for her new looks. 

If you wonder why would someone be so generous, it’s because Dr. Ross was convinced he can make anyone look like Ivanka, and Schmidt was up to the challenge as she wanted that really badly. So it turned into a win-win situation for both of them.

Although she looks different than before, many believe Schmidt didn’t got was she hoped for. She, on the other hand, looks happy and confident and is convinced she achieved her goal to the extent that she could be mistaken for Ivanka on the streets. 

Inside Edition shared the video of Schmidt’s transformation and most of the comments are not positive.

“Spent all that money and went through the surgeries but then ended up nothing like Ivanka,” one person wrote. 

“She does not look like anything like her 😬😬😬😬 ask for refund,” another added. 

What about you? Do you see the resemblance?

Grief-stricken Mother Warns about the Hidden Dangers of Toothpaste after Daughter’s Death

One grief-stricken mother is sharing her daughter’s tragic story and is warning parents of children who suffer from allergies of the hidden dangers behind products like toothpaste. 

Monique Altamirano said how her 11-year-old daughter’s allergy to dairy made her overly protective. Whenever the girl was about to try new food she would spend a lot of time going through the ingredients, making sure they were completely dairy free. However, that wasn’t the case with the toothpaste little Denise was recommended by her dentist. 

As it turned out, the new toothpaste, MI Paste One, contained a protein found in cow’s milk, and it was enough to sent sweet Denise into anaphylaxis, a serious allergic reaction. 

The moment Denise started brushing her teeth, she felt her breathing became heavy. 

Speaking to Allergic Living, Monique recalled the moment her daughter died. 

“She said, ‘I think I’m having an allergic reaction to the toothpaste,’ and her lips were already blue,” says Monique. “I picked her up and put her on my bed. I ran to the living room, told my daughter – ‘Call 911!’ – and I grabbed the EpiPen.” She administered it, and gave Denise her asthma inhaler. 

“She was saying, ‘Mommy, I can’t breathe.’ I was saying, ‘I love you, yes, you can ….”

Monique is begging parents and caregivers to take anaphylaxis seriously and wants them to go through the ingredients of every product their children use, no matter if it seems irrelevant. 

“Read everything. Don’t get comfortable, just because you’ve been managing for several years. You can’t get comfortable or be embarrassed or afraid to ask and ensure that ingredients are OK. Be that advocate for your child,” she added. 

We are extremely sorry for your loss. Rest in peace little angel.

Girl plays fiddle to ‘Cotton Eyed Joe’ – then adds some dance moves and earns 3.6 million views

If you are into great music and dancing, then you are at the right place. We present to you young prodigy Hillary Klung from Fayetteville, Tennessee, the winner of the National Buck Dancing Championship, 2013, and the National Old Time Buck Dancing Championship, 2019. 

Combining buck dance, a type of folk tap dance, and the fiddle earned this lovely girl a huge number of followers.

People love her performances so much that some of her videos have been seen more than 3.5 million times and all for the right reasons. She truly is one of a kind and her talent is undeniable. 

One of her most incredible dance routines involving playing the fiddle is that of “Cotton-Eyed Joe.” Mesmerizing both to watch and listen to, Hillary is definitely one of our favorite young musicians. She is a star in the making and her name is about to become even more popular in the years to come. 

Her love for dancing was always present and she couldn’t help herself but take the ‘dance floor’ whenever she would hear some good music on the radio. But it wasn’t until she first heard a fiddle performance at a music festival that she knew that instrument was her call. 

Although no one in her family is musical, Hillary is an exception. She learned from the best, including famous buck dancers and fiddle players from the South, and took parts in various competitions. In 2013, she became the Kentucky State Dance champion. 

She loves both playing and dancing and as she didn’t want to neglect either of her talents, Hillary decided to combine them. 

“I needed slower music for my students to be able to practice. But I couldn’t find any recordings of slow fiddle music. So I brought my fiddle and played it myself. The next week I played another tune. We started getting faster with each class until I was able to dance and play at the same time, out of necessity,” she said speaking to Strings Magazine. 

Hillary wanted her passion for dance and music to be heard and seen and she decided to share it with the rest of the world when she got into busking in Nashville. She went there for a competition she was eager to attend but worried about the costs of the trip and decided to perform on the street to cover her stay there. 

“Parking was, like, 20 bucks each day for two days. I didn’t know if I’d even be able to break even. But I knew that busking was a thing on Broadway, so I took my fiddle and played for 15 minutes. Nobody wanted to hear it; they just kept walking.”

Well, if you wonder why, it’s because street performing is common in Nashville, but Hillary had an ace up her sleeve, her talent for dancing. 

“Then, I started dancing. I had my cowboy boots on. And everybody stopped. It was astounding. I got a $20 tip from somebody right away. That’s how I discovered that doing both together is very entertaining.”

The news of a girl who stole the hearts of the passersby spread around and many were eager to check her YouTube channel and enjoy more of what she had to offer. 

Hillary is now planning on taking a tour and even adding some vocals in her performances. Well, we can’t wait to see how she would sound. 

This is definitely something you wouldn’t want to miss. 

Teacher’s “Petty” Note Restricting Bathroom Breaks Sparks Outrage Among Parents

By

The general rules are that if a child wants to visit the bathroom or the nurse’s office during lesson time, they should ask their teachers for permission. And although some students tend to abuse their right to excuse themselves in order to embark on ‘adventures’ around the school halls, most only ask for permission when they really feel the need to go. 

One teacher named Mrs. White from the Aspire Hanley Middle School, a charter school in Memphis, Tennessee, decided to come up with her own rules when it comes to taking bathroom breaks. Needless to say, parents were outraged about what she had to say. The mom of one of Mrs. White’s eight-grade students shared the note her kid brought home and it spread all over the Internet like a wildfire. 

Namely, Mrs. White wrote how her students are only allowed to two bathroom breaks a month during her lessons, and that’s it.

In case they leave the classroom more than that, then they get either a detention or zero points on the assignment they decide to walk out on. 

What’s most, she even confirms she is petty. 

She then goes on and writes how her students can speak to her about the rules, which we believe are pure nonsense, but nothing will change. 

And in case a kid loses their pass, she says, “I’m sorry, try again next month.” If this isn’t the purest form of cruelty, I don’t know what is. 

Once the original photo was deleted, other parents came forward and posted it again. Many people took their stand against this teacher and shared their opinions about her rules which are not in accordance with the school rules whatsoever. 

“This shows someone with control issues who has no power or authority at home, so they bring what little power they have to the one place where they will have no resistance: the classroom,” said a person named Jaadee Sykes, who shared the note on her Twitter and referred to it as “abhorrent.”

However, when the superintendent of the school, Nickalous Manning, heard of this from Facebook, he asked for an investigation to be completed. 

“There is no policy in place at our school that restricts students’ access to the bathroom or to the nurse’s office,” said Altovise Boyd, the regional director of the charter school. Further, he added the school has “convened [the] full team to review all relevant policies and procedures.”

“Yes, lets all make poor children hold their bladders bc them going to the restroom is a nuisance for you. My child has my permission to walk out of whoever’s class if they tell him he can’t go,” one mom tweeted showing her outrage. 

There were also those who supported Mrs. White, with one of them saying, “My god, people. Teacher makes a mistake in handling a situation that is obviously very frustrating for her and you folks are prepared to destroy her.” 

Honestly, I would be really angry in case my kid comes home with such absurd note. How would you react? 

‘The Makeover Guy’ Gives this Divorcee One of the Sexiest Transformations Ever

There comes a time in our life when we dedicate all our strength to make those around us happy and forget about ourselves. And then, something that turns our world upside-down happens and we realize we’ve been neglecting the most important person in our life – ourselves – for so long. 

For a woman named Heather from Amarillo, Texas, such wake-up call was the separation from her husband of many years. This 48-old-divorcee needed a change that would remind her she’s alive and beautiful, and our favorite guy, Christopher Hopkins, was more than willing to give it to her. 

The ‘Makeover Guy’ is known for the happiness he brings in people’s lives with his creativity and out-of-this-world talent.

This time, he was determined to give Heather the so much anticipated change and help her improve her self-esteem. 

Speaking of the time of her divorce, Heather said, “Eventually I just kind of gave up for a while,” referring to the way she looked. 

She had no idea what to expect, she only knew that she trusted Christopher so much that she decided to leave her complete appearance in his skillful hands. And she did the right thing. 

When Christopher asked Heather if there was something she didn’t want to see, she answered she didn’t want to see “ugly” as if that was even possible in this guy’s salon. 

He started off with Heather’s gray straggly hair. He gave her a cut and dyed it in a light auburn color. It’s truly incredible how a simple hair cut can wipe off 20 years of someone’s face. 

The make-up he applied highlighted Heather’s natural beauty. 

“I really wanted Christopher to do whatever he thought was best, and I think he kind of nailed it,” Heather said. “I feel sexy!”

Honestly, we can’t agree more. You look absolutely stunning! 

Take a look at Heather’s transformation in the video below.
