EMBRACE THE MUMU! Hang in there with me people.....I'll get to my point, I PROMISE!
OK, so I was in Vegas with my childhood bestie Debbie last weekend. She snapped this picture of me digging in the recycling bin!
Here is the story......
So, the AC broke in our house. We had to empty out the closet in the master bathroom because the access to the AC unit was inside the closet. What a mess! UGH.... ANYWHOOOO......
While I was down there....looking at my sad and empty closet and thinking of all these cute things I could do to spruce it up....I decided it needed to be painted! And OBVIOUSLY you can't just paint a huge walk in closet and not paint the bathroom! OBVIOUSLY...You can paint the closet and the bathroom and not paint the toilet room! OBVIOUSLY...IKR!? Why was the hubs so surprised when I added this to the "Hunny-Do list"?
ANYWHOOOO...... I remembered that the night before I had tossed a 25% off coupon for Sherwin Williams into the recycling bin! FOR SHAME RIGHT! Paint is expensive!
Well, it was "Mumu Sunday" (WHAT!? You don't have Mumu Sunday at your house? "Free the ta-ta's Sunday" maybe?) and I decided I MUST have that coupon! I mean, 25% is A LOT! So INTO THE BIN I WENT! HEAD FIRST!
Don't have a Mumu? Then off to GOODWILL WE GO! You think I'm kidding but I SWEAR! Ask my friends! I even had a Mumu themed birthday party with the women in my family for my 40th!
And I had a Mumu themed party with gals from my YOUNIQUE team this summer!
Mumu's CLEARLY equal happiness! Look! Everyone is smiling in all these photos!! You can say you hate Mumu's but your faces say otherwise! EMBRACE THE MUMU!
So! We get the coupon and load into the car.... OFF TO SW we go! I will have you know that we changed clothes first. This was Debbie's first Mumu Sunday and I didn't want to totally freak her out! Even though I did make other friends of mine go to Cheesecake Factory in theirs....wonder if Debbie knows she dodged a bullet! Being my friend isn't easy but it is certainly never boring!
What does all this have to do with YOUNIQUE or MLM? Well..... while I was at SW, there was a gal there that helped us out. Shannon. I noticed she had clearly taken the time to do her eye makeup! Gotta love a girl that gives a crap about herself when she spends her day working in a male dominated and otherwise, less than glamorous environment right? BONUS! She saved me $10 in ADDITION to my 25% off coupon when she gave me a code I could text to my cell phone! SCORE!
So, I thanked Shannon so much for her awesome service (it was awesome), of course, and I left her my biz card. She saved me $10 so I offered to gift her a $10 pigment of her choice! AWESOME RIGHT? CONTACT MADE! THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!
I know I took the long way around to get there but the SW story alone would have been boring and I want to give my followers a glimpse into my real life. I REALLY wanted to tell my Mumu story...this seemed like a good way...
Message?
1. Embrace Mumu Sundays! It will make you happy I PROMISE! Especially when you get your friends on board with you! When you are happy, you are more confident. When you are more confident your business grows!
2. Don't be ashamed to dig in the trash to save a dollar! It doesn't matter how rich you are! That action and train of thought ended up saving me $26 when it was all said and done! I would have had to sell 2 sets of 3D lashes to make that cash! If you saw $26 laying on the ground would you pick it up and throw it in the trash? NO WAY JORGE!
3. ALWAYS carry biz cards, catalogs and/or samples with you! You just NEVER know who you might meet and where or when! Even in the most random places. In fact, if Shannon hadn't been at SW that day, I likely would have offered my gift assistance service to the guy behind the counter!
