fall already!!! **updated***

fall is here everybody!  Im busy as ever, doing marykay and starting as an Art Therapist in a new #mental health facility!!!

We opened august 1st, and we currently have no wait period. located in #westallis wi ,  414-329-HOPE (4673). we accept most insurances and accept private / cash pay.  I offer #ArtTherapy , traditional #counseling in group or individual format.  I am the only art therapist at this facility, and am looking forward to sharing my skills with others in their journey of #selfdiscovery and #healing. Each treatment plan is unique to the individual, and we do discuss our route at the first meeting when gathering patient history.

This next month or so im busy doing booths at fundraisers and holiday sales events~  super fun!  Had two this weekend so im slowly getting my name out!  I will be leaving my assisted living job, while i love my residents and giving them activities outings and entertainers to brighten their days, i need higher pay and i know i wont get that at this place.  I am so stressed with "office politics" and bullying from my coworkers, that its not worth it. i dread going in,  so thank-goodness i have my marykay! My  happy pink bubble. My unit is awesome, and i wish i were going to the seminar this fall called "fame" but unfortunately my budget is nill since i slowed down my hours at the old home, and i dont have clients yet at my new facility so i have to squeeze every penny i have to pay off car and insurances. ( over worked and underpaid, sound familiar?)

anywhoo, if anyone would like to try marykay i can send to go kits anywhere in the us! ( we have no territories, and can have the facial via skype or facetime or webcam!)  its super fun to share this stuff, and am looking to build my team! and i do need 13 more faces by the end of this week ( was given a skincare challenge of 15 for the month), so if your local ( #milwaukee area), please contact me asap!  Id love to share with you some of our new limited edition lotions and lip balms, or our skincare in general! it is the only kind that works for me, for my oily skin and my acne.  everything else drys or irritates my skin :-/  . and our mascara / eye liner is the only one that doesn't make my eyes burn!  and we have several colors including green and gold :)

here is an update of my pages, please like and share!

July already?

My goodness! How time Flys. Updates, still looking for Prince charming, still working with my awesome memory care ladies, still helping out in an expressive art therapy open studio at a local hospital, still in #marykay and loving it! And am signing on to a private practice As an art therapist/counselor! !! We open Friday, so I plan to move in sometime this week!  Super excited! Hope to have my own private practice/ studio space someday:). This last week however I was in Dallas at a national marykay convention!!!! Was totally awesome! I have many pictures and videos and will get some of those on next.  My pinterest has product images. And my YouTube has videos, my fb has a mix of both as well As manufacturing plant tour images! Such a wonderful experience. Meeting other consultants from around the nation, having girl time with my unit, and my new male team member Tom! Friend from college when took pity on me when I started marykay and became one of my first facials! He loved the product so much he has decided to sell it! We both have Facebook pages, here's mine

Facebook.com/shanson.ibc

Best thing I got from the plant tour,  is while they recycle everything possible, the vitamins are turned into sand art by drying the vitamins and mixing with left over lipstick colors!!! As I said , an entire post will be images!!! I love my marykay family. I feel like I belong. Plus,the company is extremely generous with rewards,and gives excessive free training for their independent sales consultants. We are not employees. We just promote their products.  Love the products!! New satin hands coming out, pomegranate! Anywhooo,  next post coming as soon as I can figure out how to link properly.

My marykay journey

Hey all!  So exciting being in marykay. Granted I'm not making much money yet, but that's ok. Slowly building my team :). Last week I was able to share the spa collection with another memory care unit. The ladies loved it!  They had so much fun and want me back this summer for pedicures, hehe.  Waterless pedicures, which I was just trained on last night!  A anyway. I'm sharing this with everyone because I truly love these products. Although products sound like a selling word, and really what we do is share what we love.  I started a Pinterest board if anyone's interested, have a video blog, on utube, share on twitter, have a fb fan page and my website!  If anyone here is interested, I can give you a hotline to hear more info about marykay and success stories, ud get a mystery gift mailed to you, unless you live close enough to come for facial!  Other wise, ask your local mk lady for a hotline and spread the love!

My new YouTube video!, I shared our satin collection with some ladies in a memory care unit, it was wonderful! They enjoyed it so much, trying new things and commenting about how soft their skin felt and how relaxed they looked and felt after!  It was so nice to do that for them. I will be going back this summer with waterless pedicures :)

Marykay satin hands and memory care: http://youtu.be/PYubVznrvOs

Waterless pedicure?

Believe it or not, that is our end of the month event.   Check out my website www.marykay.com/shanson to purchase! And please like my fb page https://m.facebook.com/shanson.ibc :)

I believe it will be done using our lemon parfait pedi set, which is limited offer product. So if you love your lemony scent, Nows the time to get it!  Omg. I love all the scents we have. Satin hands peach is amazing,  vanilla sugar is sweet, and even the foundation primer is soft and air light under my mineral powder foundation.  Our clearpRoof acne system has even helped tame down my flare ups without drying my skin out!!!  It is a product comparable to proactive, I believe people have blogged bout the differences, just like with our skinvigorate cleansing brush.  Two speed massage, rotating soft bristles, feels amazing and cleans 85% more then when using hands and rag. 

For anyone going through chemo, you need soft, amazing, comfy items. Makes a world of difference to have good smelling or fragrance free, (we have both) hydrating lotion that lasts for days between uses and is made using natural products specifically hypoallergenic and or sensitive skin. Mine got so sensitive when I went through chemo, sensitive and dry and itchy although, sometimes it had moods wings and became super oily. AnywY, wish I would have had this amazing lotion then.

Excitement

When I was at career conference, I recieved a card in my registration pocket. This card said I love my marykay because..... I didn't know what to say until today after recieving a few nos for parties and I had to share.

It starts with the logo To start something beautiful. It is the first thing one reads when opening up the starter kit packaging. It's the first thing on the training materials, in fact it's everywhere!!!!!! I think I finally understand why. One of my favorite things while discussing mary Kay with individuals, parties, facials, etc, is to make one feel special, pampered, and to feel beautiful. 

When I went through chemo in 2009/2010, I definitly did not feel beAutiful. I gained 30 lbs of weight from the medication, I was in severe pain for half the duration of treatment, and severely sick the second half. What did my mom do? She took me to Bart's party store for wigs, she bought me purple eyeliner, fun lipstick and eyebrow makeup, and had me dress up for "photoshoots", and she'd rub some amazing cucumber baby lotion on my bald head. It felt amazing and I felt pretty, happy, felt good. 

With my mary Kay kit,I am able to give that to others, through our spa kits or even facials, to feel good, feel pampered, and as I've been told, relaxed and beautiful. It's more then an outside thing, it's internal. That's what I love about my marykay

My fb is officially public now if it wasn't before everyone, so excited!  Here is my link,please like and spread the word. I would love to do virtual parties with y'all to make you feel special and relaxed!  It's very important to take a break from stress, and I truly love our products.  I strongly reccomend satin hands because it is just amazing.

Cancerversary

This morning I was tagged in a birthday post full of ribbons.  It took me a minute, but then I realised people were wishing me a good cancerversary. 4 yrs ago I was declared Ned .  No evidence of disease!   It's amazing how quick time has gone. Since then I graduated undergrad, and grad school, and started my first real life job.  I have grown so much with this second chance at life, and Im So greatful to be able to share with others and be there for them.

Today I took my residents to milwaukee symphony orchestra, was wonderful Irish music and dancing.

Pink bubbles of happiness

So ladies and gentleman, I kid you not.  Mary Kay is a giant pink bubble of happy!  Omgoodness.  But we get free gifts and rewards, I'm now on target for a company car!  So excited!  However, I could use some help blog viewers.  This is what I need to be on target for car ( in case anyone's interested  hearing more, please contact me for a career chat )

4 months: 14 active team members ( can be located anywhere , we have no territories)

                  60 career chats ( find out more about you, and see if mary Kay would be a good fit, we help eachother change lives people)

                  About 4 parties a month and 6 one on one facials ( at least)

If ny of you live in the Milwaukee area, please contact me!  Otherwise I'm hosting a virtual party to go with our event next week on fb, our Sunkist 4 summer event is next Wednesday in Brookfield wi, but my website is www.marykay.com/shanson , my fb page is Samantha hanson, independant beauty consultant.  Now I want to ask you, is skincare important?  Mary Kay is number 9 in the world, for skincare alone.  Is color important? Depends on you, but who doesn't love a splash of color?  Do you need to relax?  We have spa products!  

We could do virtual parties. I do have skype and FaceTime. I could send out Togo kits of skin care and makeup samples and we could all skype together.  A party consists of at least 3 guests, and I've been trained in coaching the hostess so it's all pampering for you,and as little stress as possible!  Plus. It's free party, samples, what more could you ask for as this winter keeps dragging on?

Berrrr

Up here is good old wisconsin, its deep freeze time!   My car almost wouldn't start after work registering at -7, by the time I got home-11.  So glad my parents have a garage!    Unfortunately it means I did cancel my residents outing this week, in case van breaks down or they get sick from cold. ( was to a magic show, but we have a magician coming next week)

Well my new years resolution is get back in shape, eat better and feel better.  I'm actually doing it so far!,  I've been using my blender which turns into a portable mug, for fresh fruit smoothies ( Wal-Mart, 20 $!),  and this weekend I finally got on the bike, several times now!  I'm also drinking a lot of tea as I've been inbetween nonstop colds. (Discovered chamomile which helps a lot with head colds),  and I have two awesome friends working at this with me, which helps so much.  Were doing a point system, every 20 min of working out is 1 pt. This last week I had 3 pts, we check in sundays at 8 , and my 3 mth goal is to lose at least 15.  Our reward at that time if we hit our mark will be shopping and dancing!!  Will be fun to go out and dance with the ladies.  Sucks being an adult sometimes...lol it was so much easier to hang out back in college.  Oh well, well make it work!

Andddd news!, I tried eharmonys free weekend, was talking to someone but then not.  So I got on plenty of fish instead! And I was talking to someone last night :)  not sure if were a good match but it could at least mean a New friend.

Yaaay for new year
