Many of you have noticed I've been decidedly absent from the blog. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So much so that I rarely get asked about it any longer. #shame </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I think there's a need for mature style setters and while I've been working hard on my makeup business, I think it's about time to start talking fashion again. Because I love it. Because you love it. So expect to [ideally] see a few posts per month, both beauty+style, all original content of course.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To keep up with me on the daily, I'd encourage you to follow me on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/morgannc" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">Facebook</span></a>, where my life+style plays out.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PdHk8QLq8sY/WAb995ZsPtI/AAAAAAAADxA/iNaeH0vAcLkAI-2xF4gbiatvEaQ4ZlVPQCLcB/s1600/BR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PdHk8QLq8sY/WAb995ZsPtI/AAAAAAAADxA/iNaeH0vAcLkAI-2xF4gbiatvEaQ4ZlVPQCLcB/s1600/BR.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was recently asked by <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/b3s43rrg4w" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">Banana Republic</span></a> to style up a surprise piece. Which I was initially thrilled with since I love 90% of their items. Then this arrived and I was like, "How am I going to wear this?

Happy, Happy New Year!! I'm <span style="font-size: large;">pumped</span> for 2015. I just <b>know</b> it's going to be huge. #soexcited ...Not that I'm saying 2014 was <i>not</i> huge, but it had some big changes and a few curveballs.

I couldn't have been more excited because A) I'd never been even close to earning a trip with my previous company, and B) not only did I earn this trip, so did most of my Y-sisters (that's the pet name we all have for each other in Younique - because we really do love each other!) I was going to head to Paradise in October with my buddies and every one of us had been with this company for 6 months or less when we earned this incentive. It was incredible and we were SO ready to take on Bermuda!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-clL_9qmRvU0/VLMzSjZpMWI/AAAAAAAADbY/FzgmJOpNRFw/s1600/bnb4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-clL_9qmRvU0/VLMzSjZpMWI/AAAAAAAADbY/FzgmJOpNRFw/s1600/bnb4.jpg" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We departed Cape Liberty with NYC as the backdrop, setting sail (?!) on my first cruise - not knowing what to expect other than great times with my friends. Well --- except by the time we boarded the ship, there <i>was</i> one <b>minor</b> change. A little detour of sorts. See, Hurricane Gonzalo decided we should go to NORTHERN CANADA (St. Johns & New Brunswick) instead of Bermuda. Bermuda was expected to take a direct hit from this hurricane the very day we were due to arrive. Royal Caribbean decided a route change was in order and instead cruised us on up to Canada. Not quite the warm, tropical, beachy vacation <i>ANY</i> of us were expecting, but as we do, we made the best of it and had a fantastic time because the destination wasn't as important as the company kept.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0QoxHK5tu8Y/VLNFcbGoOsI/AAAAAAAADbo/B0BPxXyF6H4/s1600/MAIN-Hurricane-Gonzalo-Possible-Track.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0QoxHK5tu8Y/VLNFcbGoOsI/AAAAAAAADbo/B0BPxXyF6H4/s1600/MAIN-Hurricane-Gonzalo-Possible-Track.jpg" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The next curveball would happen the very first night of the cruise.

I was in pain, crippled, away from my family (some friends did bring spouses & kids, I did not...), depressed...but they were awesome.

Because as I write this, it's 12 weeks later & I'm <b><i>still</i></b> in a hard cast. TORTURE! It's my right foot too, which means I can't drive. I've been pretty much homebound for months.

One of the </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">luxuries of life</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> is to be able to </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">embrace change</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> and find the opportunities in it that you might otherwise overlook.

I got stuck in circumstances that weren't positive, often all inside my own head. I also had a hard time </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">planning for the future</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> because I was so busy living in the present. Trust me, I get the value of </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">living in the present</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">, but often in doing so, you could miss what might be a </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">beautiful future sitting right beside you</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now before you wonder if I'm getting </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">divorced</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">moving</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> out of state, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">adopting</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> a baby, or </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">quitting this blog</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">....I'm not! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm still as excited about <span style="font-size: large;">fashion magazines</span>, <span style="font-size: large;">shopping</span> and <span style="font-size: large;">styling</span> as I ever have been. I can't imagine that ever going away, because as <span style="font-size: large;">passions</span> go...nothing compares for me! But as any <span style="font-size: large;">reader of this blog</span> over the past 2 years has known, I've been a <span style="font-size: large;">busy mama of 3</span> while <span style="font-size: large;">blogging</span> and running my <span style="font-size: large;">CAbi business</span>. I was quite<span style="font-size: large;"> happy</span> and wasn't really looking for anything else in my life. That being said, I <span style="font-size: large;">wasn't entirely fulfilled</span> and as a family we were financially <span style="font-size: large;">struggling</span>. Both the blog and CAbi provided me with some <span style="font-size: large;">residual income</span>, but my husband & I both worked for <span style="font-size: large;">100% commission</span> which had put us in a bad way over the years. His industry was the first hit by the <span style="font-size: large;">downturn in the economy</span> and one of the <span style="font-size: large;">last to recover</span>. It all just wasn't adding up as enough to sustain our basic life. There were months with <span style="font-size: large;">unpaid mortgage</span>, overdue bills, and literally <span style="font-size: large;">selling things</span> in order to buy food or clothes. Not a fond memory!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</span><br /><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In January of this year, I tried the mascara. Notice I didn't say I <b>bought</b> it. <span style="font-size: large;">I couldn't even afford it</span>! Seriously. No WONDER I blog about <span style="font-size: large;">shopping for bargains</span>! Geesh! My girlfriend Tina <span style="font-size: large;">gave</span> it to me and said if I loved it I could pay her later. Not having any <span style="font-size: large;">expectations</span> or plans, I tried it and was beyond <span style="font-size: large;">WOWED</span>. It was this weird <span style="font-size: large;">moment of shock</span> watching something happen in the mirror as I applied it. My face changed. <span style="font-size: large;">My eyes opened up</span> (literally and figuratively). I felt <span style="font-size: large;">beautiful</span>! I knew right <span style="font-size: large;">in that instant</span> that this was no regular mascara and <span style="font-size: large;">every</span> woman I knew <i>had</i> to know about it. It was either host an online party and get <i><b>free</b></i> makeup or <span style="font-size: large;">spend $99</span> (ugh...) & <span style="font-size: large;">earn commission</span> on those sales. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well as mentioned, <span style="font-size: large;">I didn't have $99</span>. But I </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>knew</b></i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">. <span style="font-size: large;">I KNEW!</span> I had to do it, so I used <span style="font-size: large;">the last of my available credit</span>. And never looked back. And I've <i><b>never been more excited</b></i> about my <span style="font-size: large;">future</span>.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I3ms5TDiCEc/VIfFlCHAIUI/AAAAAAAADYg/O122JVgToRE/s1600/10418897_10153612452898492_2762770088034718776_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I3ms5TDiCEc/VIfFlCHAIUI/AAAAAAAADYg/O122JVgToRE/s1600/10418897_10153612452898492_2762770088034718776_n.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My little cosmetics company 'experiment' has now turned into a full fledged GINORMOUS business. Who would have thought? NOT me! It's grown into something I'm excited to wake up to and work on all day long <i>while</i> taking care of my kids. It's also become more of a training and management role than a "let's sell some 3D mascara" thing. Which I relish in & love and didn't know I was missing for all these years. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So here's the deal - after seven full & happy years with CAbi, I'm "hanging up my CAbi curtain" as we say. My life has just taken me down another path and while I tried the past 10 months to make both CAbi & Younique equally important in my life (while pretty much abandoning this blog!), Younique seemed to always take priority. I was more excited to do that, was more fulfilled doing that. My time was being spent more efficiently, my mind was getting back to management, training and new business development and I was excited every day! My team grew leaps & bounds organically. I made quick and close friends with so many who also had no idea what they were doing and getting into & we navigated the early stages of a social-media based cosmetics company together. Our online community was as close as if we lived next door & the income was truly icing on the cake. I've joked (but I'm actually serious) that I would do this job for free. Best of all, all those things that have happened over the past 10 months are no doubt going to increase exponentially over the next 10 months and beyond. #soexcited</span><br /><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'd like to say a special thank you to several very special people who've helped me build & run my CAbi businesses over the past seven years. Barb, Karen, & Susan, I could never have done this without you. My buddies in the field - Lisa, Heidi, Kim, Reb, Dolores. And a very <i>special</i> thank you to my wonderful CAbi hostesses, many of which have more CAbi in their closets now than every other brand combined. Patty, Toni, Stacey, my Mom, the Jill's, Lani, Robin, Angelique, Linda, Jen, Jodi, Jodie, Trudy, Emily, Jennafer, & Lynne. No doubt I'm missing people, but my heart is in the right place! </span><br /><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So this all being said, I'm now your go-to cosmetics lady. I'll have more time to be your style guru again, and hunt down bargains like nobody's business. I'll still shop & talk CAbi too, & plan to keep that community close to my heart and life as much as I can. </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dgmiy1efWck/VIfNVICeKQI/AAAAAAAADZE/npN0aiGsfko/s1600/cabi%2Bcollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dgmiy1efWck/VIfNVICeKQI/AAAAAAAADZE/npN0aiGsfko/s1600/cabi%2Bcollage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm currently in the process of preparing to sell off all of my CAbi inventory.

I went Christmas shopping at one of my favorite places - <span style="font-size: large;">Nordstrom Rack in Factoria</span>. My mecca for bargains and hideaway of designer items no one else seems to know the value of. It was one of those trips that ended up being "<span style="font-size: large;">one for you, one for me</span>...one for you, two for me". But since I've been pretty much housebound with my kids and <span style="font-size: large;">haven't been shopping in over a month (!!!)</span>, it was Heaven on earth to be dropped off there there for 3 hours of solitary bliss. Only overworked Moms & Shopaholics will even understand the passion for shopping alone...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well, I scored and got a TON of great stuff. And some <span style="font-size: large;">amazing</span> deals. Like 6 bags. So when the alarms went off as I was leaving, and the Loss Prevention gal went through my bags for sensors, I wasn't surprised. I mean, it was A LOT. But she didn't find anything & let me go, <span style="font-size: large;">alarms buzzing as I exited</span>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Fast forward to yesterday when I finally got through it all.

However, if you're only interested in what is pictured above, here's what I recommend:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">• By all means, <span style="font-size: large;">save</span> the photo cards! They're <span style="font-size: large;">treasures</span>! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">• Start with a good quality <a href="http://rstyle.me/~3789l" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #999999;">hole punch</span></b></a> and the most basic of <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/tjaqrrg4w" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #999999;">metal shower rings</span></b></a>. Add a fun <a href="http://rstyle.me/~1bwjF" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #999999;">gift tag</span></b></a> & commemorate the year with Sharpie (<a href="http://rstyle.me/n/dw6ybrg4w" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #999999;">these</span></b></a> are great too).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">• I always put our family card on top and display them in a basket out in the open. In Janurary, I put them all in a dedicated <a href="http://rstyle.me/~1bIPQ" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #999999;">bin</span></b></a> & stow them away.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>></span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As long as I can remember, one of my favorite things about the holidays has been the <span style="font-size: large;">photo cards</span>.

I think it's a little weird. If you have been dating for years and plan to keep it that way, then ok. If you have been together for a time period that can be counted in months, he likely doesn't belong on your card.

Again. This time for a chic cross body bag. Lately, I'm constantly on a swap between wallet and tote. There doesn't seem to be a need for a regular sized bag, although the "wallet" usually means wallet+keys+phone, so my hands are full, things get dropped (iPhone cracks...), I get irritated...so instead of keeping my lovely current wallet and finding a slim cross body I LOVE to go with it, I started researching completely new options.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Holy Cow.

"Small bags for big bag lovers". Both hold everything you need and are crafted out of butter soft leathers. The 'Trifold' is the larger one (above), the 'Continental' is the zip around one. There are so many cool details of both, I don't know where to start. Maybe the snap off "essentials" billfold that you can pop off & stash in a clutch or when you're switching out handbags. Or the cool key fob that attaches to the back and tucks in a pocket. Or the fact both look as cool with the leather/chain strap as without. Or the colors...</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qmqKMdlJYUQ/U6Es_UGacpI/AAAAAAAADN4/C3PrtyGw1wU/s1600/bevee+sidekick.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qmqKMdlJYUQ/U6Es_UGacpI/AAAAAAAADN4/C3PrtyGw1wU/s1600/bevee+sidekick.jpg" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cdU2-DN6pw4/U6Es_y8IAGI/AAAAAAAADN8/NitsvBt49mY/s1600/bevee_crossbody_bag.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cdU2-DN6pw4/U6Es_y8IAGI/AAAAAAAADN8/NitsvBt49mY/s1600/bevee_crossbody_bag.png" /></a></div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The designers are as lovely as they are worldly.

Sometimes you can get lucky & find designer labels (at say, Nordstrom Rack for instance), other times it's just better to buy something that looks like the designer for a fraction of the price. It's all how you wear it anyway since the labels are on the inside...</span></div><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Follow Glitter In The Grey on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Glitter-In-The-Grey/394715680614202" target="_blank"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DfFKHJ7XJ9k/UTGlKbBuemI/AAAAAAAAEaM/h5qbtH67Bwo/s1600/header-facebook.png" style="padding: 5px 5px 5px 8px;" /></a> Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/glitteringrey" target="_blank"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XgXsehpa4uc/UTGlKd1kTlI/AAAAAAAAEaQ/zWYQrzAzRcE/s1600/header-twitter.png" style="padding: 4px;" /></a> and Pinterest! <a href="http://pinterest.com/morgann" target="_blank"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LB-mZlQKBq0/UTGlKU7HJUI/AAAAAAAAEaI/92w0ART6hs0/s1600/header-pinterest.png" style="padding: 4px;" /></a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417699178543465642.post-90256334954614553122014-03-18T00:00:00.000-07:002014-06-14T10:58:06.004-07:00Take Me To Dinner<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"></div><br /><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: Times; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2wXmXvgfrJs/UyfeuMv2Y0I/AAAAAAAADGI/6Sc45XQtePo/s1600/faux+leather+tee_0015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2wXmXvgfrJs/UyfeuMv2Y0I/AAAAAAAADGI/6Sc45XQtePo/s1600/faux+leather+tee_0015.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6vKTrYcyl9c/UyfecoqqU9I/AAAAAAAADF4/pd35afNVanw/s1600/faux+leather+tee_0023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: Times; font-style: normal; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6vKTrYcyl9c/UyfecoqqU9I/AAAAAAAADF4/pd35afNVanw/s1600/faux+leather+tee_0023.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Headed to dinner in Seattle typically doesn't involve wearing a dress.

But it's a good thing. I've been busybusybusy with my personal & professional life for a number of years now, but something popped up that's consumed me lately.

I've been unable to dedicate time 'round these parts for a couple of weeks now & I've felt awful about it! I love this blog & don't want to lose my way, so I'm back. Likely less than my the 5 posts per week you've seen as of late, but regular posts for sure since I have so many ideas lined up in my head!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I feel like I need to share what I've been so preoccupied with. I bought some life-changing mascara & instead of just wearing it, I'm sharing it. Like...a LOT. On a whim (like I didn't already have enough to do), I decided to join an <span style="font-size: large;">up-and-coming cosmetics startup called Younique</span>. I thought if anything else they made was half as good as their signature product, 3D Fiber Lash mascara, I'd be golden. I wasn't let down. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CxpVN-6lACE/UyKY0CdflfI/AAAAAAAADE4/ebld37qEX6k/s1600/Younique_3D_mascara_fiber_lashes2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CxpVN-6lACE/UyKY0CdflfI/AAAAAAAADE4/ebld37qEX6k/s1600/Younique_3D_mascara_fiber_lashes2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here's the kicker....not only is this mascara product (which is only $29 & lasts 2 months) a perfect alternative to eyelash extensions, false lashes, & literally any other mascara out there, Younique is the first social media driven direct sales company. It's all through word of mouth, referrals, and various channels of sm, with an emphasis on Facebook. Which means I'm able to do this job from my phone in snippets throughout the day. I'm having the time of my life, because while <span style="font-size: large;">I'm giving all the ladies I love LUXE LASHES</span> (say that 5x fast!), I've joined this uber-supportive group of gals from all around the country. And best of all, I'm making $$! I had little expectations when I started because I'm wary like that, but I've done more than I'd have ever expected in the past 6 weeks and now have had 20 gals join me. This company is taking off & I'm so thrilled to be a part of this <span style="font-size: large;">$75m company</span> that made it's first sale less than 18 months ago. But it's just getting started and about to take over the mascara & beauty world (& by world I mean we're going global this Spring). </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iXwiStOB35E/UyKY1MnuQsI/AAAAAAAADFM/YtXY5LW-kNI/s1600/younique+hype.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iXwiStOB35E/UyKY1MnuQsI/AAAAAAAADFM/YtXY5LW-kNI/s1600/younique+hype.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Recognize those peepers?
