Masks, Makeovers & Margaritas

I LOVE MONDAY NIGHTS!  Okay, so when we were originally asked to start implementing a regular weekly event to connect with our teams I have to admit, I was angry.  I thought to myself "how in the world can I fit one more thing into my calendar!!"   But we were asked by new VP of Sales, Jose Luis to give it six months and see if it doesn't just knock your socks off.   So here we are, nearly 8 months later and I recently told Jose "you are right!! These events are awesome."
  So what did we do last night?   Exactly as the title says.  Mud masks at the sink, a quick summer makeover using bronzer, wet/dry or tinted moisturizer, mascara and lips.   LOVED IT - and here are a few photos.  Thanks Erin & Deanna for bringing guests.  I had a couple of my own and consultants Debbie Longseth, Wendy Sargent, Erin Rempe all helped with stations.   New consultants Jeannine Kuiper and Julie Cupp joined us for some training.  Even Jeannine's 8 year-old daughter Lindy loved the spa girl time. 
  I asked Debbie Longseth, (who has been with us for 5+ years what she thought of her first guest night event.   She was blown away, and maybe I can get her to follow this blog so she can comment.  Anyway - she loved the connection with team members and with guests.  And it's a great way to reach many girls all at once.  We all play and have fun and then team members get the business.  And we just get to be girls like that Cindi Lauper song "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun".
   One of my favorite parts of the evening is when that last person or two is going home and we get to really connect at a heart level.   It never fails that someone in need lingers a bit longer....and if you listen with your heart you can tell someone needs an ear.  And the Holy Spirit leads a conversation and you get to be and do exactly what we're wired to do - be in relationship.  I love that about spa nights.  Focus off me; focus on them.  What a great evening!
