I want to share the start of my Mary Kay journey with you :).
Two months ago was my birthday and my husband surprised me with a gift from Mary Kay. I knew he had spent a lot of money and I had a HARD time with the spoiling!
He purchased me the TimeWise® Ultimate Miracle Set. He knew I wanted it because I went to a pedicure party with my consultant friend a month and a half before that and she told him my wishlist :). Everything sat around in the boxes like that for another month and a half while I went back and forth - back and forth on keeping it or returning it!
I finally decided I was ruining my husband's chance to be blessed in trying to bless me :( and that I just needed to let him do it and not micro-manage the money he chooses to spend on me.
So here is where I keep my new-found friends. A basket near my sink so I can be faithful to take care of my skin.
LOL! This is my before picture from a party I had at my house last night - it was so much fun! As you can see I have some redness in my cheeks, it's been this way ever since my second pregnancy in 2005. I never tried taking care of it, just tried to cover it up. It also doesn't help that I am a "picker" (as I call it). I like to pick my scabs (gross I know) which leaves scaring!
Yes I have been convicted to take care of myself on the inside... eating right, exercising, managing my weight, but knowing that there was something wrong with my skin, and ignoring it or damaging it like I have didn't seem right either.

Carolyn, this is so cool!!! You have a great "I Story" here to tell to your customers!
I am so happy for you and you are going to be an awesome consultant!
I am so glad and blessed that we get to do this together!!
Congratulations! I love my Mary Kay skin care. You look fabulous. :)
I've been following your blog for a while now. I find it comforting during a hard time financially in my house. This post actually hit home for me today and I had to share. A friend of mine had a purse party here a few weeks ago and my better half as I like to call him bought me a purse. I was excited, but upset at the same time because of the money, but I too had to just say thank you and be happy because for the first time in a long time, he was able to do something for me. In addition, I have fallen in love with the new Cricut machine that is being released on Tuesday. There is no way we could ever afford that, so I sold a few things around the house and I've been selling CTMH products so I have a commission check coming this month and next. I was actually thinking about NOT getting the new Cricut that I really want, but you know you're right. I've been blessed with the extra funding after praying for a way to treat myself which I never do because I'm so busy micro-managing the money in our home. So, the deal is sealed, I'm gonna do it!! Thanks so much for the inspiration and may you be blessed with a great Mary Kay Business!
This is so sweet of him. It is hard as mothers to enjoy the gifts others give to us.
So glad that you opened it.
