Getting the edge

As you know, we live in an image society, and we are judged daily on how we present ourselves. Not only how we act, or how we dress, but how we physically look. What is the first thing a person sees when they meet you? Your face right, so why not take care of it the best way possible. When a woman takes care of her skin and her makeup is flawless, she feels confident and that confidence rolls over in to her actions and how she presents herself. Through the use of proper skin care and color cosmetics, a woman will look good and feel good, giving her an advantage.


When you meet a potential client, you want to look and feel your best. You have to stand out from the rest, in the right way. Also, with the economy and unemployment, competition is fierce right now. You need any edge that you can get. Appearance can separate you from the pack. Hiring managers are looking for someone who looks put together and professional. Let Mary Kay give you that advantage. Look good today and 15 years from now.


The thing with Mary Kay is that it is for every woman in every lifestyle. Whether you’re in the board room or on the beach, you need to take care of your skin. And that’s my job, to make sure you have the best products for your skin so that you will look radiant today and tomorrow. Whether you have 2 minutes to 20 minutes, I can help you find a skin care routine that fits you. With personal service, try before you buy and 100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back, you have nothing to lose.

Throw a Party!

Did you know you and your friends could get free facials and makeovers just by hosting a Mary Kay party? Throwing a Mary Kay party is a great way to get together with "the girls" and really do a girly thing. Girlfriends and Makeup - Woo Hoo!

Throwing a Mary Kay party can be tons of fun. As a Mary Kay representative I am an independent businesswoman and I appreciate the opportunity to showcase the wonderful products in a party atmosphere. Being a hostess for a Mary Kay party will earn you a hostess gift just for hosting the party and the potential of earning free products.

So what is so great about a Mary Kay party? Well, first just for hosting you get a free gift and may even get other free products; second, you and your girlfriends can get free facials and makeovers; third, you get to try before you buy. Where else can you sample several great skin care and color cosmetics before you buy them. Now that is frugal and fun!

Here are a few ideas on how to make your Mary Kay party a party to remember:
1. Contact me or your local Mary Kay Representative, decided what sort of party (spa, glamour, facial) you want to have and pick a date. I can either go to your home, you can go to mine or you and your girlfriends can all go to my Beauty Center;
2. Make a list of your most fun friends and send invitations. If all your girlfriends use email, send an Evite.
3. Have fun!

Wonderful Retreat

I spent the weeked having a Healthy Soul. Saturday was spent preparing for my confirmation class retreat. Reading passages from the Gospel so that the Holy Spirit could work through me to reach the students was so very peacful and exhilarating at the same time. Sunday was a very special day. The confirmation candidates and their parents all participated in a day long retreat filled with music, readings from the Bible, and discussions about putting their faith into action. The day concluded with everyone going to the local soup kitchen and serving about 150 people. It was such a wonderful experience. The candidates all jumped right into the role of being a servant to others. I truly saw in their actions the work of God. When teenagers care enough to help others, it becomes an inspiration to everyone. I'm truly blessed to know these young adults, the future leaders of my community.

"..Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me." Mt 25:40

I'm so excited about having my own business as a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant. I've been using the products consistently for about a year and can truly see the difference in my skin. It's smoother, softer and flawless. The skin care products are fabulous...and the make-up is wonderful. I always feel and look flawless. I never feel "made up." The mineral powder foundation and eye shadows are the best. I'd love if you would visit my website and check out the virtual makeover. It's free, so why not.

I'm continuing my journey toward being healthy through and through.

-Charles Dickens-

Women need confidence, and I want you to have it. Confidence is built by one small success after other. You must learn to crawl before you walk, and walk before you run. Forget about past failures and concentrate on future successes.
