 IS YOUR JOB FUN???

It should be. I wasted so many years of my life as a shopgirl, working for a low wage to earn managers and a corporation big money, working the hours they wanted me to work, putting up with bad moods, bullying supervisors, poorly trained and mentally ill managers, and unfair, discriminatory office politics.

Now I am my own boss, working the hours I choose, working from my home, car, the park, the pool-- in fact, I can take my office with me wherever I go!

Skin Care Gurus Launch Wrinkle Filler Minus the Needle!

Wow. The skin care specialists at Rodan and Fields Derma. have done it again! Apparently not satisfied with developing the nifty acupuncture needle roller that changes the skin from the inside out, or the hand-held dermabrasion tool that removes 5 MILLION dead skin cells in 5 minutes, or the various lotions and potions that do more than smell good and look good on your skin. No, they had to go be innovators again!

Their new Acute Care is miles ahead of anything else out there -- light years, really. A nifty patch that you put over your wrinkles before you go to bed, you wake up the next day and the wrinkle is already smaller! Use it every third day for a month and the thing disappears! And it stays gone for 8 - 12 weeks! No needles. No pain. No trip to the dermatologist!

Preferred Customers and Consultants get the first run of the products. The rest of us have to wait until January 2015.

A Great Opportunity to Own Your Own Turn-Key Business

Hard at work over wine and appetizers

The link below goes to a photo of me hard at work... on a yacht. I went from being a shop girl standing all night behind the counter of the Macy's cosmetics department to cruising on a yacht or sitting with my friends over wine and appetizers to work in the lucrative anti-aging skin care industry.

I don't carry any product, I don't spend long hours on my feet, I don't carry a sample case, and I don't have to fool with orders and returns. All I have to do is tell my story to friends and acquaintances over cocktails, appetizers or at other fun events.

If you want to see more photos of me hard at work setting my own hours and running my own business, check out the photos at: Rodan + Fields Skincare News

Avoid Black Friday Lines & Support a Friend's Small Business

Small Business Saturday is Nov. 30 this year. Do you have friends who operate small businesses selling Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, Avon, Thirty-One, Mary Kay, Initials, Rodan+Fields and other great products?

Whether its purses or makeup, skin care or cookware, the chances are extremely high that you have friends who operate small businesses in the direct sales industry for their primary or secondary income. These people would LOVE to have your Black Friday business and you won't have to leave you home to shop!

Advances in skin care with DIY technology innovations


Skin care companies are announcing exciting new DIY advances in technology that now make dermatologist skin care results  just a click away. According to Marie Claire Magazine, there are six new DIY skin care devices which "ramp up the performance of antiaging serums and creams." The list includes a facial toning device, an anti-aging facial device, a lymphatic drainage roller, a microdermabrasion device, a new Macro Exfoliator system, and a light-stem for wrinkles and fine lines.

Most of the in-home devices and exfoliating tools are designed to last for many months to a year or more and cost about what a treatment or two would cost at the dermatologist office. The pricing makes skin care affordable for those who could not afford to go to the dermatologist's office for regular treatments. For instance, going to a dermatologist in Nashville for microdermabrasion on the face and neck costs about $400 per session, but the Macro Exfoliator system costs only $279.00, and can be used for a year or more, once a week, to remove 5,000,000 dead skin cells a week.

New technology in skin care provides in-home treatments

Skin care business provides cutting edge technology to give customers safe and affordable in-home  skin care treatments

The skin care industry is rapidly changing as lotions and potions meet cutting edge technology. In 2010, skin rollers which had previously only been available in clinics, became available for in-home use for the first time. A few years prior, devices with rotating heads and tiny silica crystals were sold to provide microdermabrasion at home. Now cutting edge technology has provided customers with a diamond tip device with multiple setting to safely provide microdermabrasion at home.

Cosmetics Department Shop Girls

New Portal for Skin, Health & Beauty News Launched September 2011: SkinHealthBeauty

In 2008 while still a humble shop girl working a part-time job in retail, I began writing articles for various sites on the web to earn a 2nd income. It wasn't long before I also started blogging. 

Little did I know that my years working as a shop girl in the cosmetics department of a major national retail chain learning about different skin care and cosmetic products would lead to a skin care blog, a skin care column, a skin care business, and eventually, my own website about skin, health and beauty!

In September 2011, a new website launched to address skin care, health & beauty concerns and the special needs of aging skin. Appropriately named Skin, Health, Beauty, the new health, beauty and anti-aging skin care website contains articles, photos, videos, tips and information about keeping skin healthy and beautiful as well as aging, wellness, beauty and other related topics. The skincare and beauty website also carries product reviews, national skincare events and information about job opportunities in the skincare field.

An Independent Shop Girl Opens Shop

So... it has been a while since I have written here. When I started this blog I was working in the cosmetics and men's departments of a major retail department store chain, selling makeup, skin care, fragrances and clothes and dealing with the frustrations of working with erratic managers and political correctness run amok.

I wrote about disgruntled employees in 2009 as I watched one after another good employee overworked, underpaid, abused and even assaulted on the job.

A few years later they closed my store, and I lost my shop girl job. It was for the best.

Now I have started a new business in skin care as an independent skin care consultant. I plan to record some of my trials and triumphs as a self-employed shop girl here so you can join me on my new adventure.
