Yesterday I celebrated my third year of success with my incredible Network marketing company!  There are so many people to honor and thank that have helped me in my journey.

I am eternally grateful to the very first person that ever agreed to host a party.  That was my daughter Brittany.

I still remember how excited I was to receive my first ever order notification!  My friend Debbie was the first person to ever place an order and she loves our 3D+ mascara to this day!

The first person to sign up as a success partner in my business is my dear friend Amanda!  I'm so happy to still run my business with her support to this day!

Of course all of my friends and family and customers are priceless and I couldn't do any of it without you all!

I also posted this very special message to every Presenter in my company.

"2/21/16 my three year YANNIVERSARY!
I wanted to pop in here and say THANK YOU to each of you!
Awhile back I made a video about how we are all on the same team we just wear different jerseys. Without each of you working your business and supporting your own tribes, none of the success I've been blessed with could happen!  It takes an entire village. Not one single of us is strong enough to row this boat alone.

I'm honored to have been here early and to have helped pave the way. It's my truest honor to continue to work hard everyday to create a supportive, strong and smart business culture so that each of YOU, and each of your success partners, current and future, have the opportunity to realize their "why" and make all their dreams come true.

If each of you weren't doing your part, I wouldn't have all of the gifts I have in my life today.  I want you to know that I am acutely aware of your roll in my success.  I believe this mindset is one of the reasons we have such an incredible sisterhood. Across generations and across teams. This mindset of unifying, empowering and validating is why we are so successful in the industry and why every single presenter that comes to my team with previous experience, cannot get over the love they find here. We are building something bigger than anyone can fathom.

I'm eternally grateful for Derek Maxfield and Melanie Maxfield Huscroft, as well as our entire corporate team. However, maybe a tiny bit more than all that, I'm grateful to each of you Leaders for everything you've done, and all you have planned to make your dreams come true.

Because, coincidentally, by blissful default, your efforts have made all of my dreams come true too. Thank you.

Bridesmaid Boxes: What They Are and Ideas of Things to Put in Them

Bridesmaid Boxes: 

Have you ever been a bridesmaid? Or a bride?

Sometimes trying to figure out what to get as a gift for these amazing women we call bridesmaids can be tough. I mean they often have supported you through so many aspects of your life (crying over heartbreaks, deaths, loss of a job, and happy times too)-----many of which can be so difficult. Then when you consider they all may have vastly different ideas of things they enjoy it can be mind boggling to decide what to buy them to show how much you appreciate them.

Being a bridesmaid often has many expenses that go along with it such as getting a dress, shoes, sometimes jewelry just to name the bigger items.  So it goes without saying that to spend a little something to let them know how much you appreciate them is quite considerate.

In fact, according to The Knot, you can expect to spend approximately $75-$150 per bridesmaid.

So, what on earth can you get them that would be fabulous, fun, memorable and something they can really use?

Well, a bridesmaid box can be the exact perfect answer! Getting them each a box, filled with wonderful custom goodies that are perfect just for them. We're thinking Younique skincare and make-up to be exact!

6 Super Smart Tips to Apply Mascara and Look Fabulous

Tips for Applying Mascara - 

Do you want to have beautiful lashes that help you look and feel fabulous? I surely do!

Well, I know for me, mascara makes a huge difference and I love using it.  In fact I'd say it is one of my top three makeup products to use and wear.  But then there is the question. What are smart ways to use and apply mascara to get the best results?

According to MintLife blog, the average woman will spend more than $3,700 on mascara.

So let's dive into how we can make the most of our investment and be sure we know how to apply it correctly to get the best results.

Tips for Applying Mascara 

1. Fresh Matters

First of all you want to make sure that you start with fresh mascara.  Mascara should be replaced every 4-6 weeks for safest and best results. Now I know there are many of you reading this post right now saying you haven't replaced your mascara in 4,5,6 months or longer (years maybe). 

But don't just toss it out and get a new fresh one because I said so. Listen to this. According to a scientific study, nearly 79% of women were using their mascara beyond the expiration date and it had contamination and bacteria.

2.  Don't be Stingy

Use our transplant gel to coat both sides of your lashes.  I'm talking the tops and bottoms of your upper lashes.  Remember, you can use the gel alone (without the fibers) to create a softer, more natural look.

3.  Focus

For thicker looking lashes, focus the fibers on the base of your lash line.  For longer lashes, focus the fibers on just the tips.  For a cat-eye, focus the fibers on the outer 1/3 of your lashes. Our 3D Fiber Lashes+ are perfect for filling in those 'lash gaps' left from a medical condition, treatment, lash extensions and strip lashes.  I can help you strategically place fibers to fill those gaps.

4.  Double Up

Younique 3D+ was proven by a panel of Independent ophthalmologists to increase lash volume by up to 400% (384.5% to be exact!) with just one coast and over 2000% with three coats.  It is made in the USA and is cruelty free (of course).

Here's a tip! So, don't be afraid to add gel, then fiber, then gel one more time.

5.  Keep it Clean

Often times people will clean their makeup brushes on a regular basis but they neglect their mascara wands.  It is beneficial to clean your wand about once a week.  Here is an idea to clean your mascara wand.

6.  Curl First

If you like to use a lash curler, use one before you apply mascara. Using a lash curler curling tool after mascara application can cause lash loss. Want to try a lash curler for free? Click here and learn how you can score with the purchase of $50 in Younique products (offer valid for purchases made in January 2016).

Hopefully you will find these 6 tips helpful and you can begin to enjoy the process of getting beautiful full lashes.
