Express yourself!

Bahahahah!  If you didn't at least giggle a little bit on that one, I mean…I just don't know if we can be friends. C'mon now…who hasn't tried to hit that note while driving along the highway, seemingly alone in your car-turned-imaginary-stage for your American Idol audition, only to notice a car full of teenagers rolling along beside you laughing hysterically at your shinning star moment??  No…?  No one…?  Just me…?  Anywhooo…..

But, as funny as that video is, that laugh…that little giggle...that squint in your eye as you silently nose-laugh…CONGRATULATIONS!  You just advanced that wrinkle on your face!  You're welcome.  :)

So what are we suppose to do?  Stop laughing?  How miserable!  No way.  Having great skincare gives you the freedom to express yourself knowing that your products are doing what they should to prevent those expressions from forming deep lines.  And guess who can help you find those products?  ME!

ALL of our clinically proven regimens are designed to fight and prevent the signs of aging.  Our multi-med therapy is designed to deliver the right ingredients, in the right formulations, in the right order to transform your skin's appearance. It's important that you address your greatest skin concern first, then progress your way up to Redefine.  Do you have sensitive skin?  Our Soothe line is phenomenal at helping you overcome that sensitivity, which will allow you to progress to our Redefine line after just a few months of treatment.  Battling blemishes?  Our sulfur based Unblemish regimen is designed to help go deep under the skin and pull out everything below to clean the slate for more even skin!  Sun damage or dark spots?  Reverse can help you reveal the brighter, more radiant skin that you KNOW is still underneath!  And lastly, Redefine - the best age fighting regimen line I have ever used!  With consistent use of all of our products, your skin will turn back the hands of time.  Combined with our unique tools (AMP MD Roller and Macro-Exfoliator), your expression lines won't stand a chance!  

So go on….laugh...EXPRESS YOURSELF!!  And call me for the expression lines.  :)  

Role Models: then and now

When I was in high-school, all I wanted to be was Jenny McCarthy (we're talking circa 1996, Singled Out days).  I just knew that if I looked like her, dressed like her, and acted like her then my life would be perfect.  Well, since I couldn't control the fact that I didn't look like her, I did my best to dress and act the part:  patent leather everything, stuffed bra, a larger than life/inappropriate personality.  My parents must have been so proud.  

Luckily, that was just a phase (expect for the personality part…that one kinda stuck.  Sorry.)  Since then my girl-crushes have transferred more to the skin/beauty world.  I'll stay up late at night watching Chloe Morello's YouTube makeup tutorials, almost wreck my car while reading Pixiwoo's beauty blog, and will do anything Jennifer Aniston says in regards to her beauty regimen.  Anything.  These women are my Rock Stars.  However, when it comes to real life, I have a short list of real women that I trust for my beauty advice - women that I admire in terms of the condition of their skin and the products they use.  Cheryl Little, Laura Clark, Jennifer Tolbert, and Lindsey Regan Thorne…just to name a few.  These women are  flawless and ageless!  I have been secretly convinced that they are in fact angels and not even human beings.  Seriously…look them up, zoom in on their faces…not a flaw to be found.  

But, aside from being my skin-idols, do you know what else these ageless faces have in common?  They are all Customers or Consultants of Rodan + Fields!  But it doesn't end with just them!!  I have been reaching out to countless beautiful women from various walks of my life letting them know that I am a Consultant with Rodan + Fields, and to see if they are interested in the products.  More often than not, I am getting responses from these women saying they ALREADY use the products!  How encouraging!  One might see this as a roadblock, but I see it as affirmation!  After all, I'm not reaching out to women who I think need to improve their skin.   I'm reaching out to women who I know take care of themselves and want the best products available to them.  And what have they all chosen?  Rodan + Fields.  

I truly believe that if you do your own survey of beautiful women, the majority of them will say they use Rodan + Fields.  Clinically proven products created by the most highly respected Dermatologist in the world???  Yeah, I think it's a safe bet.  :) 

Our skin today does not have to be our skin tomorrow.  We are all aging, and we don't need to take drastic measures to do that gracefully.  Our products were created to address your specific skin concerns, while improving your skin's overall health and glow.  I would be honored to help you find the best products out there as recommended by our award winning Dermatologists.  

Or better yet…if you want to get in on this amazing opportunity, I would be equally honored to tell you about my story and how you, too, can be apart of this incredible business!  We just launched in Canada, and are positioned to go Global in a short amount of time.  Ground floor opportunities like this only come around about once every 10 years.  If you've ever been curious about this business, now is the time.

Going the extra mile...

No matter what your goals are, going the extra mile is what separates the men from the boys.

As you know, I have a slight obsession with my gym. But by the way I talk about it, you might think I'm in there 50x a week. Wrong. I'm good to go 3-4x a week. Now...when I'm in there, I give it my all - I go hard on the bags, deep into my squats, and challenge myself with added weights. But the reality is, 3-4x a week is just going to help me maintain. If I want to really amp up my results, I'll need to go the extra mile.  Going 5-6x a week would be one solution to this, or doing what they call a "bonus round" would also help. 

The bonus round is a series of exercises that you perform at your own pace, and the challenge is to do it as many times as possible within the month.  In honor of Valentine's Day, this month's bonus round is appropriately called "Feelin' The Love-Handles," and here is what it looks like:

There are a couple of people that I see at my gym that are insanely ripped!  I'm moderately jealous of them, especially considering we go to the same gym and do the same workouts, yet I do not look anything like them.  (Insert pouty face here.)  One day, while finishing up my workout, I looked up at the bonus board.  Can you guess the names of the people whom I envy?  Y'all, I took this pic YESTERDAY…the 5th of the month…and look how many times some of those people have done this bonus round!  I'm convinced they are bionic creatures.  So, begrudgingly (I admit), I committed to doing the bonus round that day…squeezing my name up on that board for some accountability.  I mean…I can't just leave that sad little "1" up there.  Must. Do. More.  

Our skincare is the same way.  Many people see these amazing results others are having with our Rodan and Fields products, and they want to have the same results.  But then they only buy an eye cream or just one of the moisturizers and expect to see the same results.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.  The results you are seeing are from people who have committed to the regimen and are using it as suggested by the Doctors.  Period.  And for those that really want to maximize their results, they incorporate our tools (Amp MD Roller and the Macro-Exfoliator).  Our tools are like the bonus round at 9Round.  Doing just the full 9 rounds every day is more than enough to kick your booty in shape.  But doing the bonus round will accelerate your progress and get you bikini ready in no-time flat!!  

So what's your skincare concern?  Wrinkles, dark spots, blemishes, sensitivity?  Start by taking our Solutions Tool to see what the Doctors recommend for you!  Input your email at the end of the Solutions Tool, and I will reply back to you right away with how we can get started on your skincare success story! 

And on that note…I am off to the gym….  :)

9Round Kick-A-Thon!

As many of you know, there are several things that get me fired up:  Rodan + Fields, 9Round, and the fight against human trafficking, to name a few.  Coming up, I will be combining ALL THREE (mind…blown!!!) as I co-host a Kick-A-Thon at 9Round in Dilworth.  Every kick will help raise a penny to help support the Justice Ministries in their dedicated fight against sex trafficking and sexual exploitation of women right here in Charlotte, NC.  In addition, everyone who shows up will be entered into a drawing where 5 lucky winners will receive an at-home mini-facial from Rodan + Fields! 

If you have never been to 9Round, this your time to check it out!!  Your first time is FREE!  It's only 30 minutes long, although it feels like 5 minutes because you are having so much fun!  In my video below, I show you a quick preview of what you can expect.  *Disclaimer* I am not a professional boxer, nor would I consider myself a fitness expert.  I do, however, give it my all every time!  So no judgment here, please.  :)  Hope to see you all there!!
