15.2 million people can't be wrong!

I get a asked a lot about why I have Arbonne as my product line of choice in my Makeup University studio. The choice was first based on the quality of the product and the results that I got from experiencing the line of skin care.
The second was money. I would have most likely stayed with Aveda but it had a significant upfront investment required to use the Aveda name and then stock the studio. Though Arbonne was just $350. Yeah, you read that right. I started a product line with only $350.

So when I say, 15.2 million people can't be wrong, I mean about direct selling. Good Morning America correspondent Tory Johnson and CEO of Women in the Workplace did a great segment on this truth this morning. Direct sales allows moms to stay at home with their children, or be their when the kids get home from school. Money can be made around family time, and other life commitments.

The money made is totally dependent on you, so you control your pay raises. The average direct seller in any line makes between $100-$200 per event. You can plan an event once a week or once a day. It's up to you.

Direct selling can bridge a gap in income for families who are having trouble making ends meet or who have more month at the end of their money.

It is not for everyone...be warned...it's for motivated, dedicated and goal oriented people. You have to have a really strong "why" to be successful in direct selling.

So I have an Arbonne business, I'm proud of it and love the products because it includes the whole family. I average one event per week, I heavily promote the auto-mated website, and I do a fair amount of phone and email coaching for my team so they can make more money too.

It works for me, if you want some details, contact me by email. Arbonne may or may not be the company for you, but if you want to work direct selling from home around your current job, I encourage you to google "direct selling" and find a company and product that fits your lifestyle.

Men: wash your hands with this

Men: Wash your hands with this

It's been featured on Good Morning America and other news programs that men, more than women don't wash their hands after using the bathroom.

Hepatitis A is spread from not washing your hands after using the toilet. The sickness spread can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea. It's a common hazard in restaurants where food workers don't wash up after using the bathroom.

So men, try this, sing “Row Row Row the Boat” or “The Happy Birthday Song” to help with washing. The time it takes you to sing the song is the minimum amount of water, soap and rubbing while washing that is needed to clean the hands of germs.

Or instead of singing, I prefer to name 7 things, people, or situations that I am grateful for. It's also a good time to say a short prayer or blessing for your loved ones.

I teach this to my toddler who is potty training and to my makeup artist team.

Perhaps you need to find a hand soap that you love the smell and texture of?

Remember Howard Hughes used to carry his own soap, this may come back into style and you will be ahead of the game.

Here's a few soap suggestions to get you started:
Try Neolia Olive Oil soap: it's made with 100% organic all natural Italian extra virgin olive oil. It's free of animal ingredients, not tested on animals, gentle and hypo allergenic and has a fresh clean smell.

Or, visit your local health food store and get a chunk of the hand made soap from a local vendor. You will see a display with long rectangles of soap and you cut of as much or as little as you want.

Okay, if these don't work for you because bar soap can get messy and if left in a puddle of itself can begin to grow it's own bacteria, then start with a pump dispenser of Soft Soap anti-bacterial moisturizing formula found at the local Walmart.

It's not so important of what soap you use while washing your hands, just that you do it.

Thanks guys for washing up, especially if you are in the same restaurant as me and are about to prepare my meal.

Who knew hand washing and hygiene could be so good for you?

Pageant makeup strategy for HD broadcasts

If you've seen the news broadcasts lately, they and most television shows are now seen in HD, the high definition format. Which means that everything and anything shows.

If you are participating in a pageant that will be broadcast in HD or photographed digitally your makeup needs to be flawless.

When I say flawless- I mean blended to a seamless perfection.

Your skin tone color matching of the foundation is what's most important to HD broadcasts.

Even if it takes using two different shades to blend together to the get the right color match, or to contour your face with.

The secret is to blend, blend, blend, and blend some more. Less is more when it comes to foundation product application and using a foundation brush will make the professional difference.

Using a large velvet puff to buff the face with after you've blended the foundation will finish your makeup into a flawless and seamless application.

Remember to cover your ears, neck and chest area.

HD shows everything-especially if you put makeup on your face and not on your other skin that is showing during formal evening wear, swim wear or the talent competitions.

Good luck in the pageant and happy hunting on finding a perfect skin tone match with your foundation. The difference it makes is worth the hunt!

Pageant winning smiles: the Whitestrips way

Pageant winning smiles: the Whitestrips way

There are many things to do to prepare for a pageant and one of the simplest, easiest and multi-tasking things you can do is whiten your smile.

Maybe a visit to the dentist office for a whitening treatment isn't in your budget or schedule, but before bed and for five minutes in the morning, you can whiten your teeth while you do other tasks,

To improve the results of your whitening effort, remember these few steps:
1.Floss regularly. There's no need to whiten old food.
2.Use a whitening toothpaste, or baking soda to aide the process.
3.Apply Crest Whitestrips for one week and watch your smile brighten

The results will be dramatic and the Whitestrips are dentist recommended plus don't harm the enamel of your teeth.

Now for pageant preparation you can brighten your smile while you rehearse the opening number, try on swimsuits, edit your opening statement or research current events to be prepared for the questions.

Please remember your smile because it's one of the first things people notice about you and you never get a second chance to make a first impression!
