You can spa anywhere

   Okay, so Friday night was the first time I've ever done a spa in quite a unique setting.   A couple of us ventured over to a sorority house at Drake University in Des Moines to spa the girls for their rush week.   Jen was told they were doing some major construction, turning it from a fraternity house into a sorority house.   Most of these girls had spent the entire week painting, varnishing floors, picking up trash, finding furniture......you name it.  
  When we walked in to assess where to set up we decided to not let any obstacles get in the way.   There was absolutely no furniture, paint everywhere, but needless to say - the girls needed a little down time.  So we unpacked our bags and set up in the kitchen doing facials, foot creme, our BeautiControl instant manicure treatment and then headed into the living room to straddle the paint buckets and brushes for a little relaxation time.  Just say spaaaaaaa.  The pictures don't do it justice.  It was great and fun to treat them.

The Gift of Friendship through Spa

I love all the friendships I make through the gift of spa with BeautiControl.  Over the course of the past 20 years I've met hundreds of wonderful men and women.  Some have are clients, some are consultants on my team, some are consultants and directors around the country, and some are staff with BeautiControl. 
  I met Gary Jones 29 years ago when our company was small and you knew just about every director in the country.  What fun to be able to watch how he's grown and expanded his responsibilities with BC to bring us the best of skincare, makeup and spa products PLUS now a whole branding image that is absolutely unbelievable.
  I also love meeting other directors and learning from their expertise.  On my recent trip to Alaska with 48 other top directors in the company we shared endless ideas that I know will help my own BeautiControl team.  Thankfully this trip was made possible through our company who is owned by parent company Tupperware.  Simply by sharing the gift of spa and our fabulous products and career opportunity and by leading a team of women to do the same.  What a great time, and two months later I'm still laughing and smiling at the memories.
