Why Mary Kay



I have recently made the decision to become a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. While I'm starting out, I'm working closely with my recruiter and my director and other ladies. My recruiter, Jenny, is someone I have known from the very first day I stepped foot on Abbey grounds. She was working for Admissions, giving prospective and future students tours of the Abbey. She was fun and energetic, honest and refreshing. That was over six years ago. She's now married and a mom, but she's still got all those wonderful qualities that made me want to be friends when we first met.

The more and more I research, read, and talk about Mary Kay there more intrigued and interested I get. Let me say that about 4 or 5 years ago, when I was a waitress in Greenville, I considered working with Avon, after all, I knew I already loved the products. My mother is so in love with Avon! I met with an Avon Representative over lunch. She was kind and positive, but essentially I was to give her $10 and she would give me a stack of Avon catalogs. There was no training involved. I didn't even get any samples to share with prospective clients!


Now, the price to join Mary Kay is quite a bit steeper! To begin, you must purchase a starter kit. You cannot become a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant without doing so. The starter kit costs $100 to start (plus tax and shipping, it comes to about $117). You get plenty of products, including some full sized products!, to help you start out. (Yes, Tiffasaurus, this includes some Satin Hands samples. And, yes, I will save some for you!) You get (full sized) cleanser, moisturizer, ELEVEN foundations, makeup remover, and mascara! You also get even more samples, training materials, etc etc. It's worth over $300 (retail).

Mary Kay offers a LOT of training. Julie Potts, who will be my director, has been doing Mary Kay for twenty years and she is still training. In Kuk Sool Won, we always say "I need more practice sir/ma'am." It doesn't matter how far you've come, you can always work to better yourself. Even the KSW masters will say "I need more practice, sir/ma'am" because they know it to be true even more than the colored belts. There is meetings/classes twice a week, with dinner included. They're optional, but I'm going to attend every one that I can. We all know that I love school (just, maybe not the homework!) and I love learning, so I'm going to enjoy soaking up all the training offered at the meetings.


In addition to all this, I'm very excited for the sense of community. I'm excited to meet wonderful, successful, strong women. Yesterday, I went over to Jenny's house and we had coffee and talked Mary Kay. I don't think I've ever gone over to a girlfriend's house for coffee before? It was a lot of fun. (Plus, I got to try Satin Hands for the first time. Amazing!) On Thursday, Jenny is hosting a party at her house to help Chanel (another girl starting out) and me get started and get acclimated to doing parties and such.

I'm incredibly excited about this opportunity. If you know me, you know how much I adore makeup and skin care. It's one of my obsessions. I consider makeup and skincare to be my hobby. I don't spend money on video games (I just use K-Swiss's!), I'm not outdoorsy, I'm not terribly crafty. Makeup/skincare has been my hobby for a couple years. I already have a couple Mary Kay products that I absolutely love and I'm excited to learn more about the rest.

Gosh, sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing anymore. Sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart. Sometimes, I wonder if I did the right thing. I think I did. I'm sure I did. Right?

Dear Frog-- What can I say but: I told you so? I don't mean to sound so harsh, but from the beginning, I figured I was destined to "fuck up," as I so put it. And, well, I fucked it all up. I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you, but so it goes. It is in my nature. Did I not tell you this before? Perhaps, someday there will be one whom I will not sting. I will change my very nature to help this person cross the stream. Oh, but dear Frog, I feel now that I cannot say that I wish I hadn't messed everything up. As wonderful as our times were together, I feel I would have stung you eventually. As you nurse your wounds, know I will always remember you. I hope that one day you can forgive me.

LONGAVILLE: You swore to that Berowne, and the rest! BEROWNE. By yea and nay, sir, then I swore in jest. What is the end of study, let me know. KING. Why, that to know which else we should not know. BEROWNE. Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense? KING. Ay, that is study's god-like recompense. BEROWNE. As thus: to study where I well may dine, When I to feast expressly am forbid; Or study where to meet some mistress fine, When mistresses from common sense are hid; KING. These be the stops that hinder study quite, And train our intellects to vain delight. BEROWNE. Why, all delights are vain; KING: I've seen for days that you've got The ways that must be checked In you I never can detect The slightest signs of intellect Your mad on dances, think of the chances you neglect You never seem inclined to use your mind You're just a fella who Has got his brains in his dancing shoes Take a lesson from me BEROWNE: I'd rather Charleston LONGAVILLE and DUMAINE: Do...
