My Perfect Start!
Tomorrow is the start of another week of booking, parties, and selling! I'm currently working on a perfect start for this month. For those that don't know what that means, it is where I do fifteen facials in fifteen days. Seems pretty overwhelming right? Yeah, I think/thought so too. I started on the first of the month, so I have seven days left, and I still need to do eleven faces! EEEK! But no worries! I will do this, because as one of our lovely National Directors (Will look up her name) said,"I am working through determination, not through emotion!" So far I have one party, two double-facials, and a single facial booked for the rest of this week and I'm still not done contacting people. Wish me luck! Also, I will try to start posting my Mary Kay looks each day with the products I use so that y'all can see just how awesome this product is!

Starting the Business
If you had asked me six months ago where I would be in my life today, it would definitely not be here.
Six months ago I hadn't withdrawn from school, I had just been initiated into a wonderful sorority, and I had just changed my major (again) to History. Things were looking up, I thought for sure that this time around I knew what I wanted out of life and that I had a clear path to get there. But as they say, if you want to make God laugh tell him your plans. Needless to say, I am not on that path anymore. I am instead on a path that was seemingly so off-base that I never would have though it could happen. But it did. About four weeks ago my mother invited me to a Mary Kay party, and I'll admit I went just to support my mom, not because I was interested in Mary Kay. The night of the party arrived and surprisingly I had a blast! The skin care class was eye-opening and the fellowship with the other ladies there was more fun than I could have imagined. By the end of the night I wanted EVERYTHING. But I couldn't begin to afford it, so I did what any sensible young 20-something would do. Beg mom. I was able to come out of that night with some of the products I wanted, but it left me wanting to know more, see more, and above all else, try more.
At the second appointment Angela, our wonderful consultant, asked me if I would be willing to listen to the business opportunity. I didn't have to think long before saying, "YES!" At the interview I listened attentively, but in my mind I kept thinking, 'Yeah, I could do that.' and before long that changed to 'Yes, I will do that.' Now as I am starting my second week as an Independent Beauty Consultant I don't think I could love it more. I am working on my Perfect and Power Start, which essentially means that I will do fifteen faces in fifteen days and then thirty faces in thirty days. I'll admit, I am scared out of my mind! But I'm also so excited, because I truly believe that this opportunity was brought to me for a reason. I hope that through Mary Kay I will be able to empower other women and above all else have a positive influence wherever I go.
For this blog I will be writing about my failures, my accomplishments, my spiritual journey, the Mary Kay products, beauty tutorials, and that's just the beginning. I hope that other consultants may read my blog and laugh, cry, and commiserate along with me and that others might see what the Mary Kay dream is really about.
