Pedicure Season Has Arrived

It’s Memorial Day Weekend, and in my book, that officially begins summer. Why? Because warmer weather is just around the corner if it’s not here already. With warm weather comes sandal season! In the past, Mary Kay offered Pedicure Sets for consultants to sell to customers. Tonight I had the time to treat my feet right! I have emailed Mary Kay, Inc. about possibly brining pedicure sets back to the regular line. Until they do that (or if they do not) I would like to share some alternatives to the pedicure set that can be used to do pedicure classes.
First of all, the key to providing a successful pedicure is a good exfoliant that acts as a mask on the feet. This can be accomplished several different Mary Kay® products. The first is easy. It’s Satin Hands. The Satin Hands set can be used on the feet. You can create a nice exfoliating mask with the Satin Smoothie Scrub and Extra Emollient Night Cream. If you have older products you are trying to sell off, here are some other ideas: (more…)

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe Memorial Day weekend. I would also like to take a moment and remember all those who have sacrificed so much to preserve our nation’s freedom as well as those who continue to fight. God bless us all. As I have done in the past, I leave you with this very moving video:

Product Review: Subtle Tanning Lotion

For the past week I have been using the Mary Kay® Subtle Tanning Lotion. Unlike the previous Sunless Tanning Lotion, this product shows results after several applications over the course of approximately one week. Now, I happen to be Ivory 104 (Ivory 1 in Mineral Powder). I noticed a difference in a day. It was not nearly as dramatic as the Sunless Tanning Lotion. I just could see it a little on my foot because it’s pale. After my vacation, I do have a bit of a base tan, but since it has been more like October than May in my neck of the woods I thought I’d experiment with this to prolong my tan. OK, so I also hope to enhance my tan, too; because I tend to not look tan to others when I do in fact have a tan.

Anyway, I digress. Here are my pros and cons in my usual fashion: (more…)

Easy On the Go Idea

This is a great idea for taking the new mineral products with you on the go! The current hostess gift (March 16, 2008 — June 15, 2008) will hold one display tray, all six mineral powder foundations, and two compacts inside! It is easy to travel with and you can show the products easily. The new display trays are impressive, I might add. I never invested in the older ones. I am happy I got a couple of these!

This idea was shared by an Executive Senior Sales Director at one of my meetings in April. The beauty of this idea is it not only displays the products, but you are also promoting the current hostess gift. This can be used to do on the go appointments and also makes a great booking tool. I am going to be carrying it with me to work and just out and about. Of course I will keep you posted on how it works for me. If you decide to try it, too; please share your experiences and results!

Career Conference Experience: 2008

I know it’s been a very long time since I’ve written anything. April was a crazy busy month for me outside of my business. I traveled a bit last month. First, I was at Career Conference and then I went on a Caribbean Cruise. Yes, I know, such is the life! Now that all the fun has passed, it’s time to get back to business! I have much to share!

April 4 & 5, 2008, I attended the Career Conference in Cincinnati, OH. I was impressed! This was the fifth conference I’ve been to — never missing one since signing my agreement! The last two years were somewhat mediocre to me. In 2006 we went to Toledo, OH, and in 2007 we were in Cleveland, OH. Maybe it was the locations that brought me down. I love Cincinnati! This was one of my favorites thus far in my career. There was a lot of energy and the speakers were very inspiring. (more…)
