Thinking Pink

I've made some changes in my life. With the upcoming wedding I've been thinking more and more about family and having children...and how that would work with my current career. My life is so fast paced. My work takes up so much of my time and energy.

And then I got the call that I think may have changed my life. A wonderful lady named Robbie Brannon called me and let me know that because I was a bride she wanted to offer me a free skin care class and makeover. She let me know that I was free to invite friends or bridesmaids.

I was a little skeptical of the product because 20 years ago I had been allergic to Mary Kay. But I was willing to give it a shot. I wanted my skin to be in perfect condition so that it would be a fabulous canvas for makeup on my wedding day. I figured...what could it hurt?

As she walked us through our facials and our "out the door" looks I was impressed with how well the products worked. My skin felt amazing! And then she rescheduled us for our "Advanced Glamour" class. As we were buying our merchandise after our first appointment she looked at Amber and myself and said..."Have you ever considered doing anything like this? I think you'd be GREAT at it!"

Cocky me. In my head I was thinking...I KNOW I'd be great at it. So I told her she could give me some information. She sent me home with a packet and CD & DVD by a lady named Lisa Madson. She is Robbie's National Sales director. I listened to the CD and found myself incredibly intrigued. There were so many money making opportunities...and I liked the product. And best of all...I loved their values! They believe in God First, Family Second, Career Third! Man, would I love to live my life that way. And they believed in praise. And building up and empowering women! These are all things that are nearest and dearest to my heart!

So I signed up. I kinda feel like God might be guiding me here. He knows how much family means to me. He knows that if I have children I'll want to slow down from my insanely hectic career path and be able to be there with my family. He knows that I thought my mom being a stay-at-home mom during my formative years was a great thing. And he also knows that in order to live my life this way I'd need to be able to supplement my income. Mary Kay gives me that ability. In fact, I decided that to be successful I'd need to have my own inventory...so I bought some. My goal this year till September is to pay off the credit card I used to purchase my inventory and to pay off my wedding.

I signed up in the last week or so of December. I had my first skin care class this last Saturday, my first recruit today & my first facial today. I'm off to a solid start! Here is my website: http://www,marykay.com/klevato. You can actually go on there and do virtual makeovers for yourself if you'd like. And you can also order merchandise... It really WAS easy.

And here are some of the first faces I've worked with. We only did the skincare portion on half the face & then some make up. Look at the difference, the healthiness that glows from their faces! Let me know what you think!

    What a wonderful testimony to Mary Kay! I joined Mary Kay for alot of the same reasons. Thanks for sharing how you got started and how Mary Kay is so much more than skin care and Make Up. We have a wonderful opportunity to put a smile on someones face, form friendships, encourage others to succeed and earn money while doing that.
