Green Cleaning

I’ve been doing some cleaning throughout the day today. I vacuumed, cleaned up our room and the bathroom. I scrubbed the tub, the sink and unclogged the drains. I did all the cleaning using baking soda, white vinegar, and a product by Shaklee. I like cleaning GREEN, rather than use chemicals. Most of the time, Kyle likes to follow me and I’d hate for him to breath in those chemicals. Plus the chemicals started to bother my lungs when I used them a few months ago. The “bleachy” smell was overpowering my lungs.

I am also doing a load of laundry today. I plan on doing a few more loads later this week.

This weekend was a a busy one. On Friday, I went to a skin care party with my mother-in-law. They invited 30 people and were expecting at least 3 or 4 other people. Well it was just the 3 of us, the hostess, my mother-in-law and myself. About an hour into the presentation, another person showed up. I ended up getting a sampler pack to try. I am impressed with the products and the ingredients. However, I am still going to remain faithful to Mineral Girlz with the makeup and some of the bath & body. Mineral Girlz first more into my budget anyway.

The hostess made a “dessert pizza” that was really good! On Saturday, my mother-in-law and I went to the store to buy the ingredients to make the dessert pizza. Shannon really liked it, but then again, he likes just about anything! We were at the store for about 2 hours and I ended up taking a power nap a few hours after we got home. I was so exhausted! On Sunday, we just relaxed and stayed home.

Real Customers!?

I am so excited, I didn't know where else to post this.

I may have some NEW customers this year! If so, 2008 is treating us very well, despite my husband's unemployment. My only customer was my mom (thanks mom), and myself! :)

As for this year, 2 of my pen pals have expressed interest in mineral makeup! So I will be sending them more info!

Also, my MIL would like to try Mineral Girlz! The other day, she just happen to mention that her face is feeling dry and that she uses BE (that brand that says "so pure you can sleep in it"). Anyway, I told her that I sell mineral makeup and it's very affordable. She said she would cancel her subscription since she has so much makeup from them and she's interested in Mineral Girlz makeup. Unlike BE, Mineral Girlz allows you to order new product when you want to. There are no automatic payments from your bank account. Orders are shipped within 2-5 business days! All of my orders arrived within a week and a half from the date I placed my order. We also offer samples, so if you are unsure which colors will work, samples are perfect to start out with.

Not only that, my MIL told one of her co-workers that I sell mineral makeup! So she's interested as well. I sent my MIL to work with my website link so they can look through my site at work.

So Excited!

I've been with Mineral Girlz Basic Consultant since February 2007 and could never upgrade to the Senior level due to financial reasons.

For the new year, they decided to change the signups for the senior level. They now have a few requirements you have to meet and if you still didn't meet them but feel you should be considered, you could still email them. Well, I sent in my email about wanting to upgrade and why. I also met at least one of the requirements and possibly a second one. I also gave a few other reasons as to why I'd like to upgrade!

Well, I just received an email back saying that I've been upgraded! I am so excited and so happy. This is the BEST New Year's Gift/Anniversary gift I have received this year!

Naked Minerals

I’ve been using Naked Minerals for the last few days and it’s okay. It is like they say on the commercial. You can’t tell you have makeup on, it’s very lightweight too. Overall, it’s great, but I already use another brand of mineral makeup! I will probably use this when we go out or if we happen to go on a trip. It comes in a nice compact. Plus it’s pressed powder, so it doesn’t get all over the place or I don’t have to worry about it spilling out. It came with a nice kabuki brush that is so soft, very nice quality.

But I prefer the following mineral makeup companies:
