Your NEW Mary Kay Lady!

All right ladies, it's true! Sunday I signed up to try my hand as an Independent Beauty Consultant for Mary Kay!

Since before Greyson was born I've been thinking "How the heck am I going to make money without having to put my son in Daycare?" First I was going to try to stay home, then I was going to try to find something parttime, then I was going to do girlFriday (which, by the way I still think is an awesome idea, but it'd be too hard to cart around the baby and entertain him especially now that he's getting older), THEN I was going to go to school which I'd still like to do, but again I'd have to put Greyson into Daycare. So then I started looking into direct sales. i.e. Mary Kay, Av*n ;), Arbonne, etc.... And when you really compare them all, Mary Kay absolutely blows everyone else out of the water! As a Consultant you make 50% of everything you sell (which is unheard of in the direct selling world, that's a HUGE amount!), and you can be happy about what you're selling because its quality product. And besides the money (which is the main reason for working, yes?) it'll also be fun. You have little parties/get-togethers, and do facials, makeovers, recruit other ladies, make friends, and yep, make money! Sorry if I've already assumed the spokesperson role but I'm pretty excited about it. And the more I read into it, the better I think I'll be at it. I mean when I was working at Appaloosa Trading Co. I loved meeting all the customers who came it. When I was at the dental office I loved talking with the patients. And I'm good with my makeup, I have fun with it, and I take a lot of personal care in my skin. And it can be super part time, something you do on the side from your full time job, or full time - whatever I happen to have time for. Add it all together and it fits me perfectly!

So if you'd like to host a little party, I'd be more than happy to do a skin care class/makeover for it! It just gives me a chance to get my name out there, you know? And as a Hostess you can earn product rewards. Which is pretty sweet ;)

In other news, Greyson of course is getting huge! I weighed him with our home scale and according to that he's 15 lbs already! But he has a doctor's appointment next week so we'll see if that weight holds true. And I've been watching my friend Beth's baby (well, not so much "baby" as "tiny man") 2 days a week, so that's been really great for me. Kemper's fun and he prepares me for the inevitable! And we're trying to get my big bro to move out here from Vegas, so I hope that works! It'd be great to have some more fam-damily here :D. Let's see... my sister turned 17 - woohoo!! We're going to a potluck on Saturday. I have a TON of laundry to fold - I hate it. And dishes to do - I hate it. I want to see Love and Other Drugs, Tangled, Megamind, and Harry Potter 7 pt. 1. I think that's about all!
