This year I turned 58.

Fortunately for me I was born into an excellent gene pool and my skin is really quite good. With that said, my skincare routine was lackadaisical at best in my early years.

Behold my product journey
Ivory Soap - pre-teen years
Dove Soap - teen years
Clinique - early twenties
Mary Kay - more than 20 years*
  *my sister Annemarie sells Mary Kay and I love the products, but they changed the formula and the scent and I don't enjoy it very much anymore
DermAware - when I bought the salon that's what we were selling
Hylunia - when we got a new esthetician this is what I used
Rodan & Fields - Carol at the salon sells this and I also love these products, but again, I didn't love the smell of some of the items. I do love, and fully suggest their lash booster.
Oil of Olay - it was eh for me.

On July 31, 2017 my friend Lisa messaged me about a company called EVER. At the time we were up to our eyeballs in other products at the salon and I wanted to do what was best for the salon. 

Fast forward to this year.

We have no esthetician and we are not planning on adding one to our staff.

On Facebook, I was seeing many, many women I knew from my Stampin' Up! days becoming a part of this EVER tribe. (That's how they refer to themselves. And don't we all want to be part of a tribe? That's why I created TGHR!) 

Finally, I texted Lisa and told her I should have joined the journey when she did. She immediately sent me samples of her facorite products. I LOVED THEM.

I swore I would never sell another Direct Sales product.

But then, I saw the change in two young women who had acne issues and I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, I had to be part of this.

Bella has tried prescription skin care and every other product I have bought to no avail. To see young women smiling from ear to ear because their skin issues are no more was the true motivator for me.

And so begins a journey into the skin for me.

No, I am not an esthetician. No, I am not a dermatologist. BUT, these products tick all the boxes that matter.

I had the unique and wonderful experience to spend four days in middle school last week. I was invited to facilitate a vision board exercise with six 7th grade classes as a response to books they read.

I love a snarky teen and I don't believe they make them any snarkier than middle schoolers. Not quite "big" kids, not quite "little" kids. I worked with them right, smack in the middle of hormone hysteria end of year crazies.

It was truly a privilege to share something I love with kids who took it to entirely new levels of creativity. Although it was an independent project, while working you can't help but help out your classmates. Who needed a specific letter, word, or picture? Someone always came to the rescue with it.

​I am looking forward to bringing this to anyone who wants the opportunity to do something a little out of the box with their students. This was paid for from a grant from the PTA, so it is something I can bring nearly anywhere! I'm so excited!

I am fingerprinted in NYS so I'm OK to go into the schools. (That is as a result of the hot second I substituted in a kindergarten classroom and remembered almost immediately why I KNEW teaching wasn't a full time dream of mine!)

I encourage you to look at some of my favorites HERE.
Note: They were all amazing.

Thanks to Maryann Zabbia who I met at Kacey's Shine On! Retreat in March for making this happen. She has two more planned for the summer - you can check them out by clicking on her name.
