I am now a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant!

So here is my story why I chose to do this:

My first experience with Mary Kay was when a friend of mine asked if I would like a facial, and I was actually hesitant of saying yes.  But I did and it ended up being lot's of fun!  I went to a meeting with her and was very impressed with the program.  Everyone was so enthusiastic and friendly.  They set goals and achieved them and they were confident!  After that meeting I actually thought that I might want to do that.  However it was my last 2 semesters of college with a baby and my husband was in college and working too.  So I put it off.

So fast forward about 6-8ish months.  I'm a college graduate, we moved to Florida, and my husband is looking for a job.  I had about 3 full months of no responsibilities (well minus a child).  I had all the relaxation time I wanted after bedtime, no hw, no tests, so woohoo!  Then I started to stress about income...how would we make ends meet?  I felt sort of helpless about the situation.  Thoughts of doing Mary Kay kept coming up in my head.  I had just talked to my Mom while we were waiting in line to ride a slide at Aquatica and how I thought I could never do it.  Then one of my Photography friends messaged me on Facebook and she had just become a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant.  She gave me the boost I needed to finally go through with it.

All my myths about Mary Kay were busted a long time ago.  So what was holding me back was just my own self-confidence.  I thought others could do it but how could I ever do it.  So I decided well I never know until I try.  And I would rather fail than wonder forever if I could have done it.  Besides your life begins at the end of your comfort zone.  I wanted was those women had that I had seen at that meeting!  So I signed up.  The more I learn and talk with others the more confident I am getting.  I am sooo excited about starting.  I am nervous but more excited than anything.  It reminds me of when I was in high-school and my senior year I finally got the guts to try out for Drill-Team.  Some morning sI woke up thinking what did I get myself into, I have too dance in front of people today, am I nuts?!?!  But then I would go through my day and dance in front of people and it was the best thing ever (well in my high-school head)!  I enjoyed myself and had so much fun.  Well I have those same feeling about Mary Kay, that is why I know it is good for me.  It will also help me provide for my family.

In Mary Kay we learn Faith first, Family second, and Career third.  That aligns with my life perfectly!  I can still be a stay at home Mom, spend time with my family, and have time for the Savior every day.  While doing for that I can also provide for my family.

Soooooo I get my inventory here soon and then it is time to get started! I am going to do a kick of goal of 30 facials in 30 days!  I am so excited to be able to pamper Women and play with make-up!  I want to help other women feel more beautiful!  The first time I tried Mary Kay products I fell in love with it.  It was the first foundation and mascara that I really liked!  And its more than just make-up it is skin care as well.

For those of you who live near I am excited to be able to pamper you, if you want to!  For all my friends and family far away I can ship stuff too you and we can do web parties.

Okay it really has been forever since I've blogged....so here is a very brief catchup of where I am at in life right now ( ;


-January 4, 2012 my little boy turned 1 year!


-Isaac and I both graduated from BYU-Idaho in April, we even got to walk across the stage holding 
hands.  Couldn't have been more perfect!  My parents, little sister, and father-in-law, all came to support us!  I felt a huge since of accomplishment, especially since I know I finished even with a crazy little boy that I love so much.  It wasn't easy but it was worth it!  I'm glad that I finished or else I would be looking back thinking, man I could have been graduating right now, glad I didn't do that!  


-Moved to Florida right after graduation!  Isaac drove with his Dad, along with our pet rat Sophie, to Orlando.  Tony and I flew to Texas to visit my family then flew to Fl.


-Lived with my In-Laws for about 2 months, we are grateful that they let us stay in their home while were where getting everything figured out.


-Isaac started Graduate school in May.  He is doing Mental Health Counseling.  He finished his first class with an A.  So proud of my Hubby.


-Isaac is currently looking for a job in Mental Health


-I turned 22.


-We moved into our own apartment May 31st.  I love that their is a river with a trail and park that we have access to from our apartment.


-I have the amazing opportunity to be able to be a stay at home Mom to my sweet Tony dear.


-We are slowly getting furniture and decorating our apartment.  


-We have had the missionaries over for dinner and they also came and helped us assemble some furniture...wow I feel all grown up now that I am feeding the missionaries in my own home!


-Tony is full of so much energy, a good helper, loves singing, loves dancing, say's "sophie, dog, bird, Ma (alot!) and Dada"  and says in sign language "more, all done, eat, water, and diaper". I am currently trying to teach Tony to 'behave' so we started time out...he loves to bite, hit, scream, and more!  Tony gives good kisses and is so loving when he is being nice.  I love my growing little boy so much!


-And I am about to start something really cool in which I will post about later...


p.s sorry for the lack of pictures, to much to catch up on!
