Who We Are

Best Ever You was founded by Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino and Debbie Hastings out of the notion that women and men are real and have A Real Life! Best Ever You wants each person to look and feel their best no matter your age, marital status, budget, crisis, job, or family situation. We all face the same daily challenges. Those of us with straight hair wish we had curly hair. Those with full time jobs wish they were at home with their children. We are about making the BEST YOU EVER no matter what your situation may be

How it all started

Since first becoming neighbors in 2006, Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino and Debbie Hastings have both been looking for the "what's next" once all their children had entered school. "We knew we were going to work together. How was the question." both women said.

Their first idea was to start and MOMs club in Cumberland County. Elizabeth said, "Once we really looked into it, we both knew a Mom's Club wasn't really the fit we were looking for. Both of us wanted to involve women, but wanted to have more of a focus on all women, not just moms with young children."

One day, Elizabeth called Debbie and asked what her thought was on something called "Best Ever You". Debbie jumped into building the website and ... well ... the notes and support started pouring in.

"Best Ever You" Was Born

Since its initial launch in July 2008, www.besteveryou.com has attracted thousands of hits from people all over the country - and even internationally. We had over 1,200 friends on Facebook in the first 8 weeks and our website has thousands of hits."

Our Backgrounds

Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino has modeled and acted in print, radio and television. Debbie Hastings is a bit of a technical "junkie". Debbie jokes, "Last year for our birthdays, Elizabeth was talking about the next pair of shoes she was going to buy. I was talking about the new mobile broadband card for my laptop that I was wishing for." The perfect combination!

Elizabeth

Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino was Mrs. Maine in 2006. During her tenure as Mrs. Maine, she had the opportunity to speak with hundreds of young mothers and women and men of all ages. Elizabeth adds, "It became clear to me that the majority of women and even men had issues with self esteem, weight gain, aging, motivation., finance, career and more."

Debbie

Debbie Hastings owns Flying Change Webs and Graphics. Through the years, it became more and more clear to her that people needed an affordable technical resource and advice on the needs of a small business. She has helped many local businesses get that jump started into the world wide web.

"We hope to continue to be a resource for people for many years to come and sincerely hope people advertise with us and ask our experts questions for free."
