My Latest Venture

I've recently signed up to be an Independent Beauty Consultant through Mary Kay.

So far, I've been having lots of fun "playing with makeup". I've yet to hold a skin care class, or facial, though. I may not even go that route, depending on how things work out for me without doing them. Anyhow, I need to learn a bit more about what I'm doing before I attempt that feat! If nothing else, it could make for a really funny story!

If any of you don't have a consultant of your own, and would like to receive monthly beauty newsletters, samples, etc. and be added to my contact list, you can sign up via my Mary Kay website.

Once added, you'll receive an e-mail from Mary Kay asking you to "opt-in" to receive e-mail from Mary Kay. All you need to do is click the link in the e-mail to confirm that you'd like to receive e-mail from Mary Kay.

Lesson learned the hard way

Never give your technologically-challenged/phobic mother a cell phone for "her safety".

At first, she won't want to use it because she's afraid of it, and will spend countless frustrating hours on the phone with you trying to get it to work.

Then, once she DOES get it to work and gets comfortable with it, she'll take it into the bathroom with her in case she falls while in the shower, and spill something on it, causing said phone NOT to work. Then, you will spend more countless frustrating hours trying to figure out what's wrong with it, at which point she'll FINALLY tell you that she spilled something on it.

And, if that's not bad enough, she THEN will decide that, until her cell phone gets fixed/replaced, she doesn't want to drive anywhere alone without it, in case something happens to her while driving.
