My friend Jennifer at Ringleader has honored me with an award. I am flattered. Really, this wasn’t necessary. I’m blushing now! I’m so happy I met her in the MK Groups on MySpace 2 years ago. Can you believe it’s been 2 years??!!
 

There are rules for this award. I am to nominate seven other people! OK, so here are the official rules:

1. Put the logo on your blog.
2. Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3. Nominate at least seven other blogs.
4. Add links to those blogs on your blog.
5. Leave a message for your nominee on their blog.

So, I am nominating the following outstanding women of the beauty consultant community today:

1. Pink Bren is going to go far in her business. She is dedicated and has a lot of business savvy as she owns her own salon.
2. MK Heart has tons of enthusiasm and is excited about her business!
3. Pink Biz has a great blog filled with inspiration. She is an experienced consultant be sure to check her out!
4. Miss 3 H advocates health, happiness, and holiness. Her blog is dedicated to a balanced lifestyle.
5. Pink Renegade helps other women starting a home party plan business. She’s a beauty consultant with a lot of information for those of us taking advantage of the internet.
6. Angie has been very supportive and a good friend for about a year now (a year!). Her blog is all politics.
7. Mercedes is a consultant and a teacher. She’s going through some trying times and I’m thinking of her lots. Thanks for reading, Mere!

Break the long-term goal into a series of little goals, each attainable with a specific timeframe. As the saying goes, ‘You can eat an elephant one bite at a time.’” –Mary Kay Ash
