Rest and Reflection

Its Sunday!  A day of rest and reflection.  As I was reflecting on the web I came across a story on mom's book  by (Catherine E Poelman) "The Soul of Adoption".  The two gals were blogging their struggles and determination about adoption. This book was highly recommended to the other.  It warmed my heart to see that "The Soul of Adoption" has had an effect on others.  Through extensive research this book came to fusion.  I am grateful and privileged that some of the research I was apart of.  Catherine (mom) is an amazingly talent women and still gives of herself freely to others.

Being the only one adopted in such a large family definitely has its challenges, however I have been grateful for the love, support, kindness, helpfulness, joy and gratitude I see in our family.

Happy Sabbath
Happy Hanukkah

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi all! I’d just like to take a minute to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, because it allows us to take stock of what is important and to enjoy each others company. It is always nice to take some time to relax and enjoy what makes life good.

As a reminder, the holiday season is one of the best when it comes to being successful with Mary Kay. Whether you are starting a new career as a consultant or are looking to do better with your existing one, just remember that being genuine with your sales and finding new and innovative ways to encourage new clients is the best way to find better success. Believe in your product, and you will sell more of it.

I’d also like to take a minute to remind you all to drive safely. Thanksgiving and the holidays in general means that there will be millions of people across the country driving around, leading to a direct increase in traffic issues. Please take your time and be safe (wherever you go) and treat others on the road with courtesy and a bit of forgiveness. After all, everyone is just trying to make it home.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello to all my friends and Million $ Mamas!

I am so excited to introduce our own Unit Web Site! 

Our website adds a lot more online functionality to our group, and will hopefully be used as a source of information for anything Mary Kay related that you need. As the market relies more and more on the internet to perform searches and find products, it becomes ever more important for us to upgrade and improve our online presence.

As well as serving as an information hub, this new website has loads of training and ideas- especially for the holidays coming up! I’m hoping that this resource will help you all to find more clients and to get them their supply of goods in time for the holidays. This site launch comes at a peak time for us, since the holidays tend to be one of the best times to sell and make a profit.

Please leave a comment and tell me what you think of the new Site. Additionally, please inform me if there are any bugs or glitches that come up- we want this to be a great experience for all users. We plan on adding more and more content over time in order to make this site an effective resource for all.

Thank you all for being a part of The Sheffield Cadillac Connection!

Have a great weekend! Drive safely!

Skin Types, Skin Care, and Mary Kay

Happy Friday, everyone! Today I’d like to discuss some skin care information that I think will be helpful to us all. Mary Kay has long had a focus on providing excellent skin care to our customer base through innovative and useful products.

There are five basic skin types that women will generally have. Let’s go over these different types of skin and how to best take good care of them:

1-      Oily skin. Oily skin is usually found in younger women, though it can certainly be found in nay age range. Simply put, people with oily skin have their bodies naturally produce a lot of it. To treat oily skin, a gentle scrub and oil free moisturizers is highly recommended.

2-      Dry skin. This condition can either be genetic or a product of environment. For example, a lot of women here in Utah have dry skin because there is so little moisture in the air. Heavy cleansers combined with moisturizers are a good treatment option.

3-      Combination skin. This is where most women will naturally fall with the categories. There are many combinations, but this is generally characterized by a drier face combined with an oily T Zone. Treat it in a case by case basis.

4-      Sensitive skin. This is defined by thin and delicate skin and pores that are quite reactive to touch. Use mild products whenever possible.

5-      Sun damaged skin. This is common among women who like to tan, and moisturizers and heavy creams are recommended for treatment.

If you are able to identify skin type, then you will be able to better focus your skin care efforts. There are several great Mary Kay products that you can both use and suggest to others in order to customize the skin care.

If you need help figuring out what your skin type is and/or how to treat it most effectively, don’t hesitate to contact me. Keeping your skin healthy is better than just covering it up!

Have a great weekend!

Lessons in Persistence

Hi everyone! I’d like to share one of the defining moments of my life with you today. This experience has helped shape who I am and what I can accomplish.

When I was 16, I went on a survival trek that truly tested my limits and my resolve. We were to hike 15 miles a day, and our trek took us through miles of slogging through water and trudging through the endless sands of the desert.

On the last day, we started a hard trek after our watering hole had dried up. Our counselors ran ahead of us to assess the situation, telling us to push on by ourselves. We were left alone for the last 15 excruciating miles. 4 people collapsed during that trek, and I ended up having to tie 2 people to my waist to encourage them to keep up the pace and continue onward without giving up. The five of us walked on, wishing our camp was moving toward us as we trudged toward it.

It was brutal, and we felt truly alone.

My will to move forward was gone for the last 7 miles I was hiking.  The only thing that kept me going was a thought in my head that comforted me and made me feel loved. I felt like I was being watched and protected from afar. After we finally made it to our camp and collapsed,, I has the opportunity to learn that our counselors hadn’t disappeared- they were hiding and watching us! They watched the drama from afar so that we could discover our own potential and grow from the experience.

I’ve often thought about that trip and related it to my own life now. I know that there are truly no limits to what I can do or where my capabilities lie. I know that I can stretch a little further by having faith, putting my trust in my Higher Power, and giving everything to Him.

I’m sharing this story with you all in order to show that there really are no limits on the things that we can accomplish. Sure, it gets stressful and trying at times. No one can deny that. However, the way that we react to life is truly what defines us.

I hope that you all understand that we are children of God, and that it is essential to surround yourself with people that are rooting for you. Such great results can come through faith and persistence.

Whether you apply this to family, your personal interests, or your business; this lesson that I have learned is one that can make a true difference in your life. Never give up, and always keep pushing on. You can always make it!

Have a great weekend!

Observe and Serve in Your Own Way

Hi everyone! Now that fall is here in full force and the holidays are around the corner, I’d like to focus on serving others today. There are a lot of ways that we can help out that make a difference- both with Mary Kay products and services and with our own more personal means.

If you want to use Mary Kay to serve others, consider using product and your skills to give friends and family makeovers, advise them on their skin, or teach them how to quickly do makeup that looks great for the entire day. These are little things, but I promise that the important people in life will appreciate them.

We also can do our parts for our families and communities by performing little acts of kindness, like raking leaves or baking some treats to take to a neighbor. Some of the most satisfying experiences that I have had involve kind acts of service for others, especially when they don’t expect it!

Service is important! I highly encourage everyone to find the things that they can do in their own communities to make a difference. We’ve all had times in life where we appreciated the gestures made by others, so would I think it’s important to do the same for others.

 

One of the best resources for serious volunteers is the United Way. These amazing people have a lot of service opportunities that they need people for, both temporary and agency based. I am proud to support their efforts.

Have a wonderful weekend!
