And now - what you've all been waiting for!

Ahhhhh. Life has finally slowed down for me to finally update my blog. I hope that I can explain with words the amazing feeling I have right now. As I've said before, promoting myself to Director was one of my proudest moments in my life. I absolutely love what I do! And now I get paid even better for doing it! Last week, I met this amazing woman who was looking for a way to make $444 to pay for her daughters' car insurance bills. When I met with her we went over the opportunity and she asked a lot of great questions and she looked at me and said "Elizabeth, I've been praying to God that He would show me a way to make this additional income. And now I've found you and He answered my prayers!" Then I looked at her and said, "Karen, I've been praying to God that He'd help me find some more wonderful people like you! So He put us together for a reason!" How amazing is that? Everyday I get to touch people's lives and help them either develop new careers or teach them how to take care of themselves with stress reduction exercises and great skincare! I'm loving this job!

So let me tell you about our conference at Dallas! First of all, let me just tell you that it's always fun to be around 5,000 positive people. If that don't help you, I don't know what will! Our conference began with a Directors Only meeting that I was able to attend for the first time. That was pretty fun. They gave us gifts there (BC tends to do that, they give us gifts all the time!). Here's a pic of me with Michelle and Blair at my first Directors meeting:


The conference kicked off the first night with a bang! They showed us all the new products (and of course gave us some!) and they announced that our next trip would be on a cruise to the Bahamas! The room of 5,000 people went NUTS! It was awesome. They also announced that they were going to giveaway $10,000 worth of cash while we were at the conference. They would call up 5 people several times during the sessions and would give them either $250, $350, $500, $750 or $1000 CASH! Well, during one of our sessions they CALLED MY NAME! So I ran up onstage, picked the bag of my choice and I got $350! I was so excited! Here's a picture of me onstage telling 5,000 people what I got! The young lady to the right of me got $1000!


They also told us that out of all the new consultants who were attending Celebration for the first time, they were going to choose 10 people to receive makeovers. I know what you're thinking - but no, this was not my first Celebration conference so I didn't get chosen. But one of my girls did! Her name is Cheryl Kurzawa and she lives here in Memphis. Here's a picture of her onstage with the others who received makeovers. Cheryl is the third from the right, she's turned to the side.


And here's the picture of all of them with their makeovers and new clothes! Cheryl is in the sexy black dress with a smile you just cannot fake!


Needless to say, we had an amazing time. There's so much more I could share with you but really, you need to check out my pictures from the weekend. There are captions with each photo for you to see what all is going on. It was awesome and I cannot wait to see what BeautiControl does next! Click here to check out my pictures!

A Quick Note

Dallas was a blast and it's been crazy ever since I got home. I promise to update my blog and share some pics later this week. I've got some great stories to tell.

Love to you all. Check back later.
