Checking In Because It's Been Way Too Long!

So I remember when I had time to blog every day. I was working like 50+ jobs and making no money.. I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off! Boy was I being unproductive!

Here is a little update with what has gone on over the last 7 months or so...

I have gotten a job with Blue Cross Blue Shield. In that time, I have been hired on full time from a temporary position status and have moved to a position where I make a decent amount of money doing the same thing I was doing for minimal pay through the temp agency. The agency which I would not recommend to anyone as you are just a number to them and they always say they are going to do something and then fail to do it. Enough about that place. I am working hard at my next accomplishment :)

I am a Red Jacket with Mary Kay Cosmetics and am working to become a Director within the next couple of months. I have the best support team as Adam is amazing and is behind me 100%. My organization has grown much more from last year and I will be celebrating my 1 year anniversary soon. I visualize myself in the Director position because I am on this earth to change women's lives! I absolutely love what I do and the products are amazing!

My baby sister has brought another beautiful baby into this world. Everyone, meet Klara!! Laurelai loves her baby sister and is getting so big. She is talking and walking and driving mommy crazy!

I am trying to get back into this blogging thing. I really enjoyed doing it when I did it. I know that life gets in the way and that is ok but I will be getting back into it...

Enjoy

5 Things You Need To Know About Women

As the days roll by, more and more long term relationships are failing and the couples are just giving up on each other. While it seems more likely that relationships and marriages are failing more and more, the ones that are working are those that take the time to share.

Guys, it is simple. Women are complex, emotional beings. Ones that are hormonal and totally illogical. They are too much for men to understand so I have come up with a couple rules to live by.

1 - Always say I Love You and mean it. Women need to know they are the most important thing in your life. They need to feel loved and needed.

2 - Touch is one of the most powerful things. Hug them, kiss them and just hold their hand. The feeling of you being there is all that matters. Always kiss them good morning and good night. Don't forget a passionate makeout session may also be the attention she needs.

3 - A woman's story is a long one. Very detailed. Listen to her as if you care about her friends husband's brother that started the fight. Don't let a text or tv show cone between you and her time.

4 -  Guy time is guy time. Don't expect women to just invite themselves to hang out with you if you already have plans. They don't want to impose and they don't want to not be invited. Even if she says no, she can't say she wasn't invited. I know the saying, "bros before hoes" but remember that you shouldn't ditch your girl and then wind up qt your best friends house.

5 - Last but not least, communicate and don't hide your feelings. It is important to be on the same page. If something is bothering you, talk about it so it doesnt happen again.

The key to anything working is just that...working at it. It doesn't just do its own thing and everything is fine. Everyone has feelings and deserves a chance to fix things. If they still don't get it right, work harder.. I know that's what your grandparents would say!

Product Review: Mary Kay Soothing Eye Gel

I know I haven't been blogging in a while. Things on my end have been totally crazy and I just can't seem to manage everything all at once. So, I figured because I am working a wedding tonight with my DJ friend Danielle tonight, I have to do a live product review from last weekend when I worked with her.

The wedding last weekend was at the Links in Unionvale, NY and it was absolutely amazing. They always do a wonderful job with everything and the food is outstanding. Sunday was a little windy, but the weather held out beautifully.

We had our normal routine of setting up and then getting ready at the event. While in the bathroom dolling up for the event, the mother of the bride came in and looked all flustered. She had been crying and she was worried about the puffiness under her eyes. 

Being a total rockstar with Mary Kay, I gave her my soothing eye gel. I asked that she return it at the end of the night but just to dab a little on over her makeup when she felt puffy. I saw her doing it about 3 times throughout the night. She said she totally loved it and was very appreciative of the gesture and told me how surprised she was that something like that would work so well. She told me her under eye area had never been so smooth and the puffiness was gone! This product really is awesome!

So about the gel, it does the same thing as putting cucumbers on your eyes with the relief.

Contains botanical extracts reported to tone, firm and reduce the appearance of puffiness around the sensitive eye area.

• Calms, cools and refreshes a tired-looking appearance.
• Increases skin moisturization.
• Can be used as a leave-on gel.
• Clinically tested for skin irritancy and allergy.
• Dermatologist-tested; fragrance-free.

I absolutely love this product, especially during the allergy season. It is a must have in any woman's arsenal and it is only $15! A little bit goes a long way and cooled in the refrigerator allows for faster relief. It would be a great addition to any bridal party gift bag!

VoxBox Product Review: Vaseline Spray 'n Go Moisturizer

I was so excited when I received my +Influenster VoxBox that this was one of the first items I grabbed to try out for free. "A spray moisturizer??" ABSOLUTELY!

I tore it out of the box and started using it. The Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer was creamy and had great coverage. It is so easy to use and fast enough that I can use it on my 3 year old stepson! It moisturizes so well for him and he doesn't fight me to put his clothes on after it.

I received this one

The fragrance is light but noticeable. It doesn't burn the skin or make it uncomfortable. The product currently comes in three flavors so be sure to try it. It is absolutely wonderful for our crazy busy hectic lives!

VoxBox Product Review: Colgate Optic White System

I have been using the Colgate Optic White System which includes the toothpaste, toothbrush and mouthwash that were sent to me in my +Influenster VoxBox.

Let's start off with my least favorite item:

Why is this my least favorite in this set? I would say because of my deep seeded love for my +Sonicare Toothbrush. It isn't that it was a bad toothbrush...that is not the case. I just feel that I have a deeper clean with my old toothbrush

Next is the mouthwash:

I liked the product and what it has to offer. It didn't burn like other products do and the peroxide really went above what I had expected with how well it helped with the whitening. I had to make sure that when I used it, I rinsed for the full amount to ensure that I was giving enough time for the product to do its job. I did notice that if I didn't do it entirely, it felt a little weird in my mouth but I have purchased the product to continue the use of it.

Finally the toothpaste:

I really liked the flavor and how well it cleaned. When used with my Sonicare Toothbrush, it yielded amazing results and I do have a brighter smile. I previously used Sensodyne because I thought I had sensitive teeth, but it is only the case when I whiten my teeth. I have and will be continuing using the product when I don't whiten.

Overall, I liked the system. I feel that it is important to look and feel your best and when your fresh breath doesn't run out as quick as with your old system, you are totally inclined to purchase it all of the time. I would totally recommend the entire system!

Product Review: Mary Kay Cream Eyeshadow

All I can say is that the Mary Kay Cream Eyeshadow is totally where it's at! Every mom needs to have one of these in every bag they own so when they run out the door, they are still totally fab!

Ok Loretta, so tell me why this is something I need...

Every woman at any age needs to have the feeling of looking great and feeling great about themselves. Lack of appearance and the care to get dressed to show up is lacking these days. Many people feel going out somewhere in the pj's is acceptable. 

NEWS FLASH!!

PJ's anywhere are not acceptable except for in your home or ... you guessed it... in your bed!

If we took just a little bit of time to care about our skin and how we look, I don't think people would have the outlook they do on life. Getting ready for the day should be something we do before we run out the door. But if you don't have that much time to get ready, this eyeshadow is totally what you need to add!

It can be applied with just your finger...nothing else necessary. If you were to bring this and your mascara, you would look like you took a little more time and people would see it! The shadow comes in many shades for different eye looks and feels like a powder with no creasing at the end of the day!

As a Senior Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay, I have noticed that individuals who have wrinkly eyes should stick with a mineral powder as an eyeshadow because it stays better and is more unlikely to settle in the creases.

What is Mary Kay?

Mary Kay is the highest paid direct selling company that offers beauty cosmetics. But it isn't just about makeup that makes Mary Kay what it is. It is about the company's belief system.

Mary Kay goes by the Golden Rule and always believes in putting God first, Family second and Career third. As with any direct selling company, the flexibility in following the Golden Rule and helping others is part of the company's mantra.

Mary Kay will celebrate it's 50 Anniversary this year and is one of the longest, most successful direct marketing companies in the world.

Empowering women is what is boasted of the company. One Woman Can. Yes I Can. These are all ideas that allow women to step up and truly believe in themselves and achieve greatness while doing it.

To me, Mary Kay has been an eye opener. I have been in many companies (I am a professional network marketer) and I feel that the goal of the company to really help women become who they need to be is amazing. My Sales Director motivates me by recognition because I never have received so much recognition as I do with Mary Kay. It is actually my selling point. I love the feeling of recognition and I love to help my team feel just as important as I do. It is why I sell Mary Kay
