Spring! and The OneThigh Challenge

Sunshine brings colors to the world; the blue of the sky is the most welcome change from the drab gray of winter. As the earth is warming so are the daffodils and crocus popping up in the gardens. If you are like me you start feeling like your wardrobe needs some color and your lipstick needs to brighten up as well. Skin that is winter dull could use some brightening also! That is where a great microdermabrassion treatment would really be great- followed by some extra rich hydrating cream. The right shade of foundation should not look like makeup- so how do you create that sun kissed look without any sun or sun damage? The right shade of bronzer topped off with a sheer blush. Mary Kay has 2 "perfect for all skin tone" shades that are so very sheer that you won't believe it until you try it! That is the wonderful thing about Mary Kay, you always can try before you buy, in fact we encourage that, and you have a satisfaction guarantee too! check out my website to see all the hot new looks and products for spring www.marykay.com/kcameron Did I remember to mention that bathing suit season is coming? Could you get excited about a skin firming cream that not only works but I saw a visible difference in just 2 weeks.

Well, I call it the one thigh challenge; I used the new Timewise Body Firming Lotion on my one thigh.... 2 weeks later I asked the resident expert on my legs (my husband) lol if he noticed. He not only noticed which leg I had used in my experiment he even said it looks noticeably thinner (winner winner) and smoother! BINGO! Give that man a prize! NO, you will not see photos of my 2 legs on line... but you can try it for yourself! It is guaranteed after all, and you have nothing to lose but lumpy legs.....


So what are you waiting for? call me and lets get you into a new look and fix your winter weary skin today!

More Faces in a New Way

I have been so busy seeing FACES that I have not taken the time to share with you my story in a few days! Last Friday, was so much fun! I started off meeting a new client who was a referral; she lived in Ortonville (about an hour from me) so we decided to meet at the outlet mall in the parking lot. I pulled up and popped the trunk to my traveling store. She chose the items she needed, and we jumped into the car to fill out forms and try on the new products. $45 later I was on my way down to my next stop in Troy, right off I-75, this stop was a client of mine who was leaving town and needed her foundation, moisturizer and some other "Must haves" before she left for a week. Lucky for me I had it in the trunk! I love this weather, it is not so cold that your products will freeze, it is not so hot that they will melt so in the morning I load the trunk with everything and head out for my appointments. Ginny called as I was heading to do my first appointment so I was able to stop on my way back south to what turned into my 3rd appointment. :>)..... So I pulled into her office parking lot, pulled out a pretty bag, some pink tissue paper, loaded the items into the pretty bag and filled it with pink tissue- off I went into her building to deliver her order. $100 later I left there for my next appointment. Lunch with my husband. I then got back into my pretty pink car and headed toward Royal Oak, a quick stop to drop off an "emergency lip gloss" :>)) then over to Starbucks to meet a repeat client who is using all the skin care and this week wanted to add glamour. She found me from my website- being a STAR CONSULTANT the company sends leads to our personal websites. Megan was directed to me a month ago. Today I went into Starbucks to have a latte and read while I waited to meet her on her ride home. Once she arrived we went to my trunk, at this point I am feeling like a drug dealer or some kind of smuggler selling stuff out of my car! hahaha! Not really but is is funny... we select the colors she likes and jump into the front seat of my car so she can put them on. Love the lit mirror on the passenger side as an option to do makeovers! :>)) So she LOVED her new look and $125 later she has all kinds of glamour and was looking very pretty heading home to her family! Three more faces and a new way to introduce women to my great service!

Going the extra mile

Well this morning I started my day in 4 miles down the street; at the BNI group. My guest was there~ the only guest! Sad. The good news is that I gave out 5 skin care survey cards. This is the current way I am getting "new faces" to add to my 100 faces. I must admit THIS IS FUN!!! I love playing with makeup! These ladies I am working with love to play with makeup! How much fun is this!?

So today I had an email message from a MK "Orphan" she needed to replace some products, as it turns out they are very old and discontinued so I told her I would be happy to come give her a facial and let her try all the new products to chose what she wanted. Kicker: she lives an hour away. Well I like driving in my cute pink car, that makes the time fly! So this Friday I am going to meet her and pamper her by giving her an update facial and letting her try all the new spring colors! She deserves it!

So I have a question. "Should I name the car?" Lots of people do that. What do you think?

Where to find faces

Well, last week was a bit slow and I was really counting on Saturday. I went to my first Mom 2 Mom sale at the church of a friend of mine. She is a great lady I met through the chamber, she loves Mary Kay products and purchases them from a lady @ her church. So for the mere fee of $20 and a few hours of my time I was at the M2M sale...
My dear husband who usually gets to spend Saturday morning with me @ the Royal Oak Farmers market came along to help. We set the table with a display, the LOOK BOOK, and drawing slips that asked 4 simple questions: have you tried MK, do you use a skin care program; would you be willing to have a MK makeover; and would you like to do this alone or with a group of 3-4 friends. then of course their contact info. Well, that worked well, I booked 2 shows, and made 4 new clients right there. The young mom at the table in front of me was the daughter of the Mary Kay lady who attended that church. (my friend Jo's consultant) and 3 of the other women I signed up for facials or shows were vendors there and one was a Women's Enrichment Day in April, and training our new consultants. Balance is a very important part of every week~ a worthy goal for all of us~ myself included!

Jennifer, one of my new team members is having fun with the virtual makeovers and her personal website, and having a virtual party online. I love sharing with women who are excited about the different ways we can work our business. If you would like to find out more about Mary Kay products or our business opportunity please check out my website www.marykay.com/kcameron

A month gone by

I am so very excited to begin March with 34 days behind me and report the amazing results. 45 Faces seen. $2000 sold to 29 people; two new team members. 15 of the faces were at the Ladies night out @ Great Indoors; they got satin hands pampering and we signed up some of the women for makeovers and parties at a later date. This week I have already seen one person, one tomorrow, and just booked into a Mom to Mom show this Saturday. Now the dilemma- how do you count a show like that? Well, I am going to book them for facials later this month!

This project began to show the women on my team and in my unit that it can be done. I am almost half way to the goal and have done nothing exceptional except share with everyone my goal; and do a little bit of work. Someone once said if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life! I totally agree!

Thanks for stopping by I hope this inspires Mary Kay Consultants everywhere to take the 100 Day challenge. BTW, I won't quit @ 100 Faces I will finish @ 100 days! Stay tuned I can't wait to see how March unfolds!

professional developement coach

What I love about what I do is mostly that each day is different. It is always fun and interesting and filled with potential for professional and personal growth. As an Independent Sales Director with the #1 selling brand of skin care and glamour in the United States (Mary Kay Cosmetics) my primary job is to be a professional development coach for the women in my unit and my adoptees. Helping them to step outside their comfort zones and become the women God intended them to be. It is my true hope that by doing 100 faces in 100 days that this will inspire my unit and other Mary Kay Consultants to set that as a personal goal. Mary Kay used to tell us that the "speed of the leader is the speed of the gang" I want to see if that is true!
As a makeup artist and skin care consultant I am having a total blast meeting new women, and watching how much fun they have trying new looks. I think that most women love to play with makeup. I know that once we start wearing makeup we are hooked. Even women who "don't have time" like to have a Five minute "dash out the door" look so they are more polished and prettier. My motto is that makeup should look and feel like it isn't even there so that you just look polished and pretty- not ever "Made up"
So today is day 12 or the 100 DAYS challenge and next week is booked nicely with professional women and I am very excited after this week's success to jump into Monday with more bookings and building past 100 Faces.
So for those who know "DISC" the D personality types will just do it. The I personality will do it because it is FUN- and it really is; the S and C personality types will do it later after I show you it is worth while and give you the statistics. My question is will you start before I finish if you have weekly stats? Let me know! Thanks for stopping by and following along the journey of 100 Days!

Starting Over- no not me!

Today's Oprah article that hit my in box caused me to think on this subject:
"If you're dreaming about starting your own small business, take a lesson from these women who took a chance and started over. From an attorney who opened her own bakery to a stay-at-home mom who now gets paid to go kiteboarding, find out how you can pursue your dream job."

You read about doctors who study for years then realize they are in the wrong position; attorneys who don't do so well can usually become a great business person due to the schooling they receive; there are so many people these days, especially in Michigan and the southeast lower michigan area that by no choice of their own are being forced to recreate who they are... That caused me to reflect on just how lucky and very blessed I am to have a job I love to do ie: never working a day in my life! a job where I help women look and feel better. Where my chief responsibility these days is to make women happy and also to be able to introduce women to a business opportunity where there is no one laying them off, cutting their pay, telling them where and when they will work. Then i started thinking about the cost of setting up a bakery; restaurant; boutique; you get the idea- to start a new business there is so much involved financially, then there is marketing costs; and living expenses if you are not profitable right out of the gates... wow,now wouldn't that be nice?! Experts tell us in 2008There were 627,200 new businesses, 595,600 business closures and 43,546 bankruptcies. How about those odds? So here is the Mary Kay story. For the small investment of $100 a person can start their own business. That gives you a starter kit, and everything you need to begin your first 30 faces. That is called a POWER START. Because the statistics show that with that much practice you get better each time and your success rate when coupled with on line, and in person training gives a great opportunity to grow a very successful home business along side of what ever you are currently doing. The overhead is low. There are no territories or quotas. A new consultant can work anywhere in the United States. You can chose to build your team and all this comes with continuing education and on going support.

Support that I took for granted for so many years until one of the women in my unit shared that she began working @ a bridal salon and realized that no one really knew how to serve the customer's needs and did not know how to ask the right questions or how to really take care of a new client. All the things that we had been taught. I am so happy to have a career where I can earn what I am worth, where there are no limits to my personal or financial growth and where on a daily basis I make people feel great! I would love to share more about my passion of helping women with you~ just ask me .... Thanks for stopping by today to listen to my thoughts. Tomorrow tune in for the story of Kim and Kim.

Setting Goals

“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.”

I have set off to begin my quest of 100 FACES IN 100 DAYS a week early due to excited participants' schedules. How exciting to have seen 6 faces so far, booked another show, sold some (not the goal but a nice addition) and talked to 3 people about the opportunity. (Corporate is sponsoring a double credit contest so all you Beauty Consultants pay attention to the details) . In Michigan where people are losing jobs, homes and hope on a daily basis- it is a blessing to have a career and a business opportunity that has no territories or boundaries (aside from self imposed)where we can sell and sponsor team members anywhere in the USA. So many women are thriving in this economy due to this opportunity. I truly love helping women to look great and feel better; it is so wonderful to help them to build a business where they can get their MK for a discount and make money to pay the phone bill, or the heat, electric or put food on the table.

100 Faces Challenge

Many people have been asking me the details of the 100 Faces in 100 Days challenge and what I am doing in preparation for this "big event". Well, I am prioritizing my priorities (I know you think that sounds funny but have you?) What that really means is get an idea for what is REALLY important in your life and let your time spent reflect that. I have chosen what activities will help me to start and complete this challenge. AND.... if it does not give me satisfaction, if I do not love doing it or if someone else can do it as well (if not better) it is not on my list!
So here it is: I have a white board calendar up on my office wall with names and dates for 90 days, I am booking into February because any further is not going to happen (cancellations abound after 2 weeks out). AND I don't have time for cancellations! and I am ramping up bridal work and networking and asking for referrals. So far, I have 3 more brides who are willing to bring their entire group to try my services for free and 2 more wives of guys I know bringing their friends and several of my existing clients bringing friends to their seasonal makeovers. It is beginning to really take shape and I hope that if you are a MARY KAY INDEPENDENT BEAUTY CONSULTANT that this inspires you to go for it! And if you have never had the opportunity to experience our fabulous products and a personal skin care regime I hope you will join in as part of my experiment. It is totally risk free and FUN! and I don't know about you but I am a fan of having fun!
