Brands I love
I am so excited to be a part of Bona Clara as they really define their leaders and the woman who will have a hand in shaping the future of the company. The feeling as I mentioned the other day is so hard to describe. The woman “founding leaders” attract are the most ambitious, smart business woman I have ever met. I feel like I am a HUGE part of something thats going to EXPLODE!! We are planning SO much travel for this month I dont even know how I am going to keep up with it all! I am beyond excited (incase I havent said it 10x already). Ill keep you posted on the cities ill be visiting! How on earth did I get so LUCKY!?!?

If I was a gambling (wom)an
Last night we promoted our second director, first senior director and I FINALLY promoted my first brand manager. This was followed up by a day of AMAZING calls with inspirational woman who are so hard working and smart it gives me goosebumps.
The feeling I get from working in the home office of Bona Clara is unlike anything I have ever felt before and I am pretty sure is what makes me so very in love with not only my job but this company and the direct sales industry in general.
There is something about the woman in this industry that just belive in themselves, in the raw and un altered drive within their soul, they know whatever goal they set, if they want it bad enough they will get it. Surrounding myself with people like this is what makes me so excited to get up and go to work every day. The part of me that not just wants this to work but KNOWS it will work, its the belife in the oh so natural ambition that only certain people posses. I am so blessed to be a part of this company… cheers to the woman of Bona Clara!

Purple Rain – Live life with gratitude
Mike Loner is the Chairman of the board of directors for Stella and Dot and also one of the keynote speakers at the event. His focus was primarily on happiness, whatever you define that as. If you want to be happy – gratitude has to be a part of your life. He gave examples of leaders who seemed to have it all going for them, but then have taken the time and have gotten themselves TRULY happy – they see success in not only their personal life but in their business!
Happiness isn’t something you pursuit its something you do every day, its something that comes from living a life filled with decisions that you know make you happy, its living a life of gratitude and understanding how you get to each stepping stone, that is where the “happy” we chase after will come from.
He went on to say “I am the luckiest man in the world – because of the woman in my life”, then he named his wife and why she is just perfect for him, his 2 daughters, Jessica Herrin, Blythe and even Danielle. He said the woman in my life shape who I am – and for that I am the luckiest man in the world. He gave me chills. He brought tears to my eyes. (The air conditioning must have been getting to me, who cry’s)
He told us a story about a young woman named Ruth Lorenzo who he met in London years ago. They got to talking one day after Church and his wife invited her to dinner. Ruth was able to talk to Mike about what she loved, singing and how she wanted to try out for “X factor” for many seasons but she was in a relationship that was very controlling and prevented her from going on her own and doing something like that.
Eventually Ruth got the courage to be the Bold and Beautiful woman she was and she tried out … this is a video of her final audition. You can just feel the passion and desire in her voice and see if vibrate through her body and to the ends of her fingers and the tips of her toes.

Hoopla Vegas 2013
I was fortunate enough to attend Hoopla in Las Vegas this year with my upline and one of the girls on my down line. It wasnt what I expected, actually I am not sure what I expected… but it wasnt all about sales, it was very warm and fuzzy. Not in a “here is my story kinda way” but in an “anything can happen” kinda way (the theme song for the 1st diamond director team). Ill post more about the motivation and inspiration I left with but for now I want to show you a few of my FAV’s. EMail me if you want a look book sent to you!!
xoxo
Some of my favorite pieces from the new collection are: 
can you say inspired
As I mentioned before I was luck enough to attend hoopla in las vegas this year with my amazing upine Nicole Hazen and her entire up line teams as well as my beloved Erica (downline). We stayed in the beautiful Paris Hotel!
It was an experience to say the least. It wasn’t filled with sales tips as one may think – but instead it was filled with figuring out what makes YOU happy. Gratitude and genuine happiness were the themes through out the entire three days.
Everyone was dressed fabulously and decked out with jewels which was a blast, I loved seeing how stylists would wear the pieces in different ways.
Jessica Herrin, Founder and CEO speaks with such eliquince and certanty – she says over and over how much she beleives in you – to the point where you beleive it yourself. Sitting in a room of 3000 stylists, who’s passion, drive and entrepreneurial spirit are overflowing gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. 
Jessica called Stella Dot an effort in, results out type of business: the more effort you put in the more results will come. The key to this is… CONSISTENCY rather than small bursts of activity. Watching woman walk across the stage receiving recognition for their efforts, made me want to be up there, made me want to work my business better so that I can be a part of my up lines success.
“A year from now you will be a year older no matter what, why not make it a year better! I am not a gambler, you wont find me at the slot machines, I take chances but I don’t bet on chance, I bet on me, I bet on my hardwork” –Jessica Herrin
It felt like they thought of everything. They even had a table set up to help you with social media. I thought this sign was catchy!
There were several other key speakers all of which I loved and will post about separately.
It was a fabulous few days and I am so so so happy I attended.
hoopla prep
I am OVER THE MOON excited to go to Vegas on Sat for Hoopla, Stella Dots annual conference. Never ever did I EVERRR think I would say such a thing but I have really grown to love this company and the woman in it.
Needless to say, in true Frank form I am getting ready 1/2 way and last min…
Little at home hair do:
Masking my horrid day:
And then of course a I tried to pack…
But I have never felt more like this was true than tonight:
Everyone says layers because it will be about 100+ degrees outside but blasting cold air on the inside… The worst part is so many of these GORG ladies have been planning this for months – what they will wear and what Stella Dot they will pair it with – oh god that reminds me – I need to bring my jewels!
No matter what I know I am going to take SO much away from this I honestly feel like such a dork for being this excited!!
Any outfit suggestions?
Texas
I was in Dallas and Houston for less than 24hrs each for Bona Clara for an Opportunity Event in each city… Current brand reps brought guests, we invited several others and we discussed the background behind Bona Clara and the business opportunity that we offer. There are SO many talented woman that joined the team and have been in sales for so long. Watching Jasmina speak to them made me so proud of all the work we put into this brand.
—> fast forward a month
Texas is the home of our fastest growing team and OUR VERY FIRST DIRECTOR!!!
We celebrated with champagne – I’m so happy and blessed to be a part of all of our firsts!!
Warby Parker
I have bee in the market for a new pair of glasses for a while but I just havent had the time to make an appointment! After my last eye apointment I thought I had picked a pair but when she called be back and said it was $650 I had to decline.
Thats when a friend suggested Warby Parker. They have a great, home trial program where you can choose 5 frames and have them sent to you and have 5 days to try them on! Perfect for busy people like myself!
You choose 5 frames from a wide variety, you can even upload a photo so you are able to see what they look like on your face! They are arrive in just a few short days, you can try them on, ask friends, even wear a pair or 2 for a few days and then choose one when you are ready, best of all they are under $100 for PRESCRIPTION glasses!! I have to say this is one of the most impressive shopping experiences I have had!
I cant wait for mine to come in the mail!
