LOOKING YOUNGER SEGMENT from Today Show

OPERATION SOLDIER CARE ENDED MONDAY AUGUST 18.

THE CARE PACKAGES ARE ON THEIR WAY TO THE TROOPS! Matching each donation with an equal product gift we were able to send over $6000 in sun care products, after sun products, bath & shower products, and other moisture products for men and women.
I am writing this post today to let people know that there are still American patriots out there. Trish Forant of eMail Our Military is one of the. I met Trish this year on twitter (I am @nancymk and she is @mailourmilitary) My husband is a retired USArmy officer who works full time with me in my business. Since summer is usually a little bit slower for us with vacations and all, we wanted to do something to send some comfort items to the troops. We had already been doing that on a much smaller scale and wanted to do more. Most of our friends and family are safely back in the states at this time. So I agreed to match every care package with another one, increasing the value of each donation ( and eliminating profit or self promotion for me) Trish and I agreed that August 18 would be the latest that we could get these items to the troops in a time when they still needed them the most. We started with a small goal of $550. When we reached that within the first week, I boldly announced that I was prepared to match up to $5000 in care packages for the troops. So a new goal was set!
In the process of promoting this, some incredible things happened. YESTERDAY EMAIL OUR MILITARY WAS NAMED BLOG OF THE DAY!
When I was asked by Phyllis Zimbler Miller (@ZimblerMiller) to do a guest post on her blog about Operation Soldier care, she became involved in our project. She came up with the idea of donating prizes for the top 5 contributors. Phyllis got the ball rolling by generously donating 5 autographed copies of her latest book.
MRS LIETENANT: A SHARON GOLD NOVEL. Trish and I followed with small prizes, but other businesses got excited and started adding value to being one of the top 5 contributors! We now have 15 different prizes worth over $1000 each for the top five contributors.
Thanks to all the patriots who are making a difference with some comfort products in the desert heat.

Operation Soldier Care- FINAL DAYS!

We need your help. The final 5 days of Operation Soldier care with more reasons than ever to jump on board this project! We have over 15 businesses who are contributing incredible prizes for the top 5 contributors.

5 Things You Didn't Know About Military Deployments

With just one week to go in Operation Soldier Care, and all the buzz on the internet about it, I thought some quick education on what it is like for the average soldier in Iraq or Afghanastan was in order. My husband Alex is a retired US Army officer so I have first hand information on "a day in the life" of our troops. Here are the top five things that most people don't know-
1. Mail call is the highlight of the day for every soldier in the field.
The importance of that connection at home can not be understated. Sending cards, letters, care packages means more than you will ever know to our heros overseas. (not all soldiers have access to email)
2.The climate is harsh and unpleasant.
The average temperatures in Iraq range from higher than 48 degree C (120 degrees Fahrenheit!) in July and August to below freezing in January. A majority of the rainfall occurs from December through April and is more abundant in the mountainous region and may reach 100 centimeters a year in some places
The summer months are marked by two kinds of wind phenomena: The southern and southeasterly sharqi, a dry, dusty wind with occasional gusts to eighty kilometers and hour, occurs from April to early June and again from late September through November. The shamal, a steady wind from the north and northwest, prevails from mid-June to mid-September. Very dry air which accompanies the shamal permits intensive sun heating of the land surface but also provides some cooling effect. Dust storms accompany these winds and may rise to heights of several thousand meters, causing hazardous flying conditions and closing airports for brief periods of time.
Extremes of temperatures and humidity, coupled with the scarcity of water, will effect both men and equipment. During dry season, clouds of dust caused by vehicle movement will increase detection capabilities in desert regions. Flash flooding in wadis and across roads will hinder traffic ability and supply efforts during the rainy season. Clear, cloudless skies make air superiority a prerequisite to successful offensive operations throughout Iraq. Air operations may be reduced during windy season. The Iraqi climate is similar to that of the extreme southwestern United States with hot, dry summers, cold winters, and a pleasant spring and fall. Roughly 90% of the annual rainfall occurs between November and April, most of it in the winter months from December through March. The remaining six months, particularly the hottest ones of June, July, and August, at approximately 102 degrees F are dry. The influence of the Persian Gulf on the climate of Iraq is very limited. Near the gulf the relative humidity is higher than in other parts of the country.
3. Personal hygene and comfort items are in limited supply and not affordable for many soldiers. Imagine that you are camping in the desert. What would you take with you? Those items that you use every day are not in the backpack of the average soldier overseas.
4.Many soldiers are having back to back deployments. Even reservists are frequently called up for several tours in a row, taking them away from their civilian jobs and families. (although employers are required to keep a position open while a soldier is deployed, career advancement is often jeopardized by time away from the job.
5. Every day is like "Groundhog Day". If you have ever seen that movie where the main charactor keeps waking up to the same day, that is what it is like for many soldiers. The only difference is that each day is one day closer to their trip home.

I teamed up with Email Our Military for the Operation Soldier Care campaign to provide comfort items to our troops. I am matching dollar for dollar each donation to have maximum impact on the number of care packages that we send for the troops. You can make a difference. Either pitch in any dollar amount or order directly on my web page and put Operation Soldier Care in the comments section. Your gift will then be sent directly to the soldiers in the field.

Taking the Next Step in Your Success Journey!

Have you taken the time to think about what the top six values are that you are living in your life? For me, at this point in my life, my top six are-

• Legacy


• Faith


• Recognition


• Family


• Integrity


• Passion.

Yours may be different. The life that you are living and the choices that you have made are either moving you closer to what you want or away from it. Are your values the same as the ones that you aspire to live? That can be another list all together. This week I would like to select one or two key words that are linked to each of your core values. Then put some emotion into crafting a sentence using each value in how it is important to you. The emotion is what gives it wings to fly. A reason to grow or a reason to strive to attain something.

"As psychologist Viktor Frankl said, 'Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life. Everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he connot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone's task is as unique as his specific opportunity to implement it.' Each of us has a purpose for which we were created. Our resposibility-and joy- is to identify it." (From Leadership Promises for Every Day, John C. Maxwell)

I genuinely desire to help to guide you with my roadmap to success. Live the life that you deserve- your very own destiny! Dream Big! See you at the top!

Is Internet Marketing Replacing or Enhancing Face to Face Marketing?

This seems to be a highly debated topic right now so I wanted to jump in and provide a visual that may allow you to decide for yourself. Yesterday, I met with a client of mine and did a face to face makeover using our new mineral products. We took before and after photos for my portfolio. Here is Marie’s photo BEFORE- There is a new feature on my web page that allows you to upload your own “before” photo and then try different colors and even hairstyles! We decided to have a little fun with it. We uploaded Marie’s before shot and then we proceeded to select the same colors that I selected for her to see what it would look like. But we took it a step farther in selecting her a new hairstyle and hair color. Below is her “after photo”- -



I believe that the tools for using the “Virtual Makeover” are fantastic! It can be used for clients that live out of my geographic area, or even for someone who never purchased from me or intends to. The service is free and available to everyone. You get to save your makeover and go back as often as you like and try new things. (I DO NOT GET YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS OR NAME WHEN YOU DO THIS) In my opinion, it enhances face to face marketing. I am still the beauty expert who will suggest colors to try. That is the reason why I do not think that internet marketing can replace that relationship that you build in an actual face to face situation. What do you think? Feel free to comment or experiment with the virtual makeover yourself at my website.

Secrets to Discovering Your "Why"

What makes you cry, what brings you joy "why"? Success is the sum total of choices that you make each day. Those choices are made either consciously or subconsiously. By leaning what your values are, a life of fulfillment rather than frustration is possible. Let's start by determining your CORE VALUES.

Reaching you Goals

For those of us in Mary Kay we are approaching the finish line. Our Seminar year ends June 30 and all of our yearly recognition is calculated by what happens in that timeframe. This is where the winners give it their all. This is where records are broken and belief barriers are shattered. It's my favorite time of year.

It occured to my that some of the things that I am about to share are applicable to anyone in business, not just Mary Kay. You can't hit a target that isn't there. So no matter what you are doing, it starts with a clear picture of what it is that you are reaching for. So if you are not on-target for any big goals or never even had the courage to set one, now is the time to do it. Reach deep inside and ask yourself- "if I knew that I couldn't fail, what is it that I want?". Take some time to really meditate on this. Don't allow your logic or fear to influence that answer. Once you have a picture of what it is, it must be crystal clear to you. Start to visualize how you will see and feel whenever you are in that place. For me, the year that I set a goal to be Queen of Sales (2005) I found other people who had already done it. I borrowed their video (dvd) and I watched it every day, seeing myself on stage, seeing my family there cheering me on, seeing me sitting on the throne. It was like a rehersal in my mind. I even borrowed a friend's tiara and put on the dress that I planned to wear and took a picture of me wearing the dress and the tiara. (side story here- when you do this, watch what you eat! As I got closer to finishing this goal the dress was too tight. I couldn't focus on losing weight and finishing this goal. I couldn't find another gold sequins gown because this was the one in my mind. So my husband ended up taking out the dress on the side where the sash was and carried a needle and thead that night in case I popped out of the dress!!!)

So those of you who are finishing your goals for this year, keep going, keep reaching! Your best work is done in the final hours. Don't give up. Don't sell yourself short. Take each day and make sure that every choice that you make is one that is taking you closer to that goal Have the discipline to do what has to be done, not what you feel like doing.

If you haven't found your goals or dreams yet what are you waiting for. Are you designing your life to be what you want it to be? You can, you know. Find out what brings you joy and use that as a reason. The law of attraction works, but you have to be willing to work also. I have found that the harder I work, the luckier I get!!! Make you own luck!! I WILL SEE YOU AT THE TOP!
Here is another great post on goal setting!

SPECIAL COLOR TRAINING EVENT

Bridal Services

Today I met with a bridal party, doing one of the things that I enjoy most about my business! These are before and after pictures that were taken at their Bridal Party Color Preview event. Don't they look stunning?
Imagine: It is your day! It is going to be perfect, you have waited your whole life for this day.
It is your wedding day!
It is all about the Bride, it is her day, she is happy and gorgeous her skin is flawless and her face is glowing! Her bridesmaids are lined up and are creating the frame. She stands out she shines and she is pristinely happy.
Who do you know who is recently engaged? I would love to help make her day a cherished memory forever! I will complement her dress, the photography, the veil, and setting. I will help the bride create the look that she desires for herself and her wedding party. I help set the mood, just as much as the flowers, the lighting and the music.
When a bride looks and feels beautiful with her groom at her side, the day is going to be amazing. (To see these Looks in more detail visit my Virtual Model Portfolio in the photo section of my profile on FACEBOOK)

COMING SOON- A foolproof way to select a color look based on your lipstick shade!

Starting on Monday June 2, I will teach you how to select a color Look based on your preference in lipstick shade. I have found in my over 22 years in business that the lipstick choice either makes or breaks the look. So if you start from there and coordinate everything else it ALWAYS works. Mary Kay had this feature on my personal web site, but recently removed it. Since I was using it in training with my consultant and even my customers there was a big demand for this. So I decided to focus on demonstrating and teaching one look each week. You can see a few of the Looks that I have already done on my FACEBOOK under photos with the album titled- "My Facebook Virtual Portfolio". These are before and after photos of just a few of these looks. I will add more each week after I have taught you how to select a customized look either for yourself or if you are a consultant, for your customers. I am looking for models to be part of this training, so if you are local and would like to participate, please contact me.

Secrets of Selecting a Foundation

One of the biggest concerns that I come across is how to find a foundation that is right for you. There are many different kinds on the market and each one has it's benefits for the user. The first and in my opinion is consideration in selecting a foundation is your skin type. Are you dry , normal, combination to oily and/or blemish prone? Once you have settled into your favorite type or types of foundation, then the shade selection comes next. I will go over each type of foundation and who is best suited to use it.

1. Liquid Foundation- this comes in medium coverage and full coverage. If your skin is normal to dry then the full coverage will work best for you. If you have combination to oily and/or blemish prone skin the medium coverage is an option for you. Depending on your skin, it may not be the best option for you.
2. Creme foundation- This is more of a traditional foundation in a compact that is designed for lots of coverage and protection from the elements. It is best only for extremely dry skin types.
3. Cream to powder foundation- This product goes on creamy and dries quickly to a powder. The coverage is not the best and I don't recommend it for anyone with combination skin.
4. Mineral foundation- This is the latest trend because it is so good for your skin and it can provide buildable coverage for all ages and skin types. (it is my personal favorite) The down side is you may need to touch up later in the day because it doesn't wear as well as liquid, but I will never go back to liquid. It comes with a special brush that is necessary for the best application.
5. Mineral pressed powder- this has slightly less coverage than the regular Mineral powder, but it is great to carry in your purse for touch up. Our new compact is very purse friendly and it has room for your favorite lipstick as well.
6. Tinted moisturizer with spf 20. This is great for a quick application with protection from the sun. I use this everyday that I am planning on spending some time outdoors.

Here is where a professional is best to determine your shade. All of my foundations come in comperable shades. Visit my website to read more about all the foundation choices. Contact me for a private appointment to help you select your best shade. Remember when you purchase from me there is a satisfaction guaranteed. My customer service is the best!
