Mary Kay

Hello everyone

So I have decided to do a little business on the side and am looking for support and clients :)

I am now a Mary Kay (make up) consultant and just got my starter kit and am looking for new clients J I need to practice doing make overs, and if you are interested and live close let me know!! I also invite you to browse and visit my website or just email me at naesmiles@marykay.com and tell me what you would like and I’ll order it for you!

Now’s the time to start looking for Christmas gifts J Since I’m new to this I have not sent in my first order yet, so I need help in finding clients and making my first order at least $200. Again since I haven’t done my first order I will have to order everything which means it will take a week or so because I don’t have my stock pile yet. I hope that’s not any inconvenience.

Any help would be great! I think I'll be sending in my first order by Nov. 9^th and it will take about a week after that.

Let me know what you would like and I’ll get it as soon as I can. If you have any questions just let me know.

Thanks for all your love and support!

Love

Lanae Duke J

Donation of a lifetime

So I know ALL of you are DYING to know what I look like after the big chop of a life time....
And yes I've been holding it in for awhile on purpose haha :)

I have Always wanted to grow my hair out long enough to donate it, and so for the past SEVERAL years that is what I have been doing. I knew it was probably long enough awhile back but I wanted to keep growing it so my cut wouldn't be super short. I have also been having a race with my nieces to see who can grow their hair the longest for the past two summers. I would always win but they didn't want me to cut it (and neither did I).
But while showering one day washing my hair, I had it all wadded up on the top of my head scrubbing it clean, then when I let go of it, it was so heavy and long, it jerked me head back, LOL. It was then that I decided it was time to cut it.
After that I started looking for a cute hair cut idea to give to my hair stylist. Mike and I agreed on one that wasn't too short and still cute and simple enough to cut and do every day. I showed my hair stylist and she loved it! :)
Everyone kept asking when and if I was going to get it cut. I kept procrastinating. Everyone also kept telling me; not to cut it, that I was going to regret it and miss it. Yes that is all true but I never get to see my long hair because it's always up for work, and then it gets too hot in the summer that I always wear it up...so I decided it was time. AND my hair grows fairly fast, so I'm not too worried.
Melissa-my wonderful hairstylist-kept asking when I was going to cut it, but I kept saying "Oh I don't know..." Finally one day last week she said "ok I put you in the schedule for Saturday at 1pm" I hesitated and said "OOOOkaaayyyy". I was a good girl and showed up to my appointment at the salon..

no tears were shed, but almost. I love my new hair cut! Thanks Melissa! :)

Some young girl somewhere is going to be very happy, grateful, and thankful for my hair!! If feels to good to donate my hair to such a wonderful cause! :)

The last time I had short hair?? ....well.... I don't even remember! Maybe like 9th grade, so about 12 years ago or so....

And so it begins....
