BEHIND THE SCENES – VOL. 7 – WHY I’M IN FLORIDA AND THIS WEEK’S WINNERS
I could get used to working from the beach!!! On Tuesday, my Energizer Bunny Friend and I flew to Rosemary Beach, Fl., to meet up with some of my Rodan + Fields gal pals. We decided that watching the new R+F product reveal would be even more fun if we were all together, and Rosemary Beach is our favorite destination.
This tiny nook at the end of our hall was my favorite place. Each morning I would stake claim to one of the chaise loungers and get some work done before everyone got up and stirred. When you have a house of 16 women, it can get LOUD!!! I loved my morning quiet time, and the nook provided a great view as I worked.
These wonderful women on my Rodan + Fields team made the trip, and the rest of the team joined us for the product reveal via ZOOM. ZOOM is a great way to stay in touch with our family and friends, and it is a perfect way for our team to get together. The great thing is, I didn’t know two of these ladies until they joined me in this business, and now they are two of my best friends.
This is my Energizer Bunny Friend, who is my bestie. She and I might be twenty years apart in age, but we are so much alike in so many ways. A lot of the women flew to Florida like we did, but most of them didn’t pack TWO suitcases full of clothes; some of the ladies only brought a carry-on suitcase. Lol!
Rodan + Fields is the skincare line that I started using in 2016, right after I started my blog. I was working on a 27″ Mac Computer, and seeing my face on that huge screen made me cringe. I called my EBF and told her I wanted to try the skincare line she was using. I hand her cash and said, “you order it, I don’t want to become a customer.” After I used the product for a couple of months, I was hooked. I had tried lots and lots of skincare lines, and this was the first one that I could see a visible difference in my skin. I called my friend again and told her I wanted to become a consultant so I could get the products at the best possible price. However, I told her that I was never going to sell the products, and she was fine with that.
The first photo is from 2015, when I started the blog. The second photo was in 2020, and the photo below is from this month.
I am a believer in Rodan + Fields products, and I’ve watched my skin change over the years. I’ll be honest; I’m not always a fan of every product that R+F comes out with. Everyone’s skin is different, so I try the product and decide for myself which ones work the best for me.
Yesterday, Rodan + Fields launched into a brand new category…Hair Care. I have my order placed, and I’m looking forward to trying it. My daughter has hair issues, so she is really excited to get her hands on the new products. The products look amazing, and I’m sure that R+F will do the same for hair as they’ve done for skin care. I have samples coming my way, so make sure you leave a comment if you have hair issues. I know that a lot of women suffer from thinning hair as we age, so I have my fingers crossed that these products will make a difference.
The products won’t be available to customers until Nov. 1st, but you can grab them now by joining me in business. I hardly ever mention the business side of Rodan + Fields, but I love the business as much as I love the products. The business is how I’ve met so many of my readers who are now business partners and how I’ve earned tons of gifts like my Dyson Hairdryer, my David Yurman Bracelet, and my recent Palm Springs trip. I’ve received all that while getting the best skincare at the best possible price and also earning a commission.
If you’re intrigued by all this, or if you think working on the beach sounds like a dream come true, then shoot me an email, and I’ll give you the 411 on all things R+F.

Looks like a fun trip with lots of sunshine.
What a wonderful trip and fun time with friends. I will look forward to your opinion of the new products
I’ve tried R&F in the past, and liked it but my rep gave it up. I had no one to buy from.
Kaye, you can now buy from me. Lol! If you cancelled your account from the other lady, you can sign up under me now.
I’ve never heard of Rosemary Beach, I’ll have to check it out, looks beautiful!
Love my girl trips. Short and sweet but oh so refreshing.
Hello, I so enjoy your posts. I’ve not heard of R & F. I have maturing skin and at this time of year it goes to dry from a nice summer “regular skin” phase. When I put my foundation on, it looks like I have remnants of a peeling sunburn! How do I find out more? Thanks!
Girl trips are the best and Rosemary Beach looks beautiful.
Thanks for sharing, Tanya!
I hope to hear positive results from the new hair care line. Post breast cancer surgery my hair continues to thin. I want my great hair back.
Rosemary Beach looks beautiful! I’d love to know where you stayed. 16 women together – and look at the love and smiles! Kudos to all of you hard working ladies!
Fun!!!
Hair Issues ! My fine hair has been
thinning for several years. The texture feels like the hair from corn on the cob.
It is silky soft with absolutely no body.
Not to mention the front is graying and the back has not.
I love Rosemary Beach! One of my favorite places!! Especially this time of year. My hair has thinned so much the last few years. I hope there is something that helps!
Hello, Enjoy the beach. Here is East TN we are having really cold mornings.
I have noticed that my hair and scalp are extremely dry after going through “the change” LOL.
Bet your enjoying the beach with the gals. I enjoy seeing your posts.
I always enjoy your posts.
Hey! I’m a regular reader and I’m in Destin right now, neighbor!!!
We had a frost warning here in East Tennessee last night so those beach pictures had me jealous!
I’ve been using R&F since 2015 & absolutely love it! Can’t wait to try the hair products
Loved the gift ideas! Such good prices and really nice items. Tytyty 😍
Never been to Rosemary Beach but it looks fabulous as do you!
Girl get-a-ways are the best and you look great!
It’s always great to be with friends.
Ladies, your skin looks beautiful.

You can see a big difference on your pictures on your skin care. You always look amazing and I enjoy ready your posts daily. Thank you for all you do for all the girls! ❤

Rosemary Beach is beautiful and so are you!
Love your current office view.
You are a lucky lady to travel so much.
Jealous you are in Florida. I’m going in November.
You are awesome
An inspiration!!
have fun at the beach with your gal pals 🙂
Looks like an amazing time with friends
I want to sit in your little nook. Where did you stay. I am so longing for a beach trip.
Girls trips are the best! Your skin is always radiant! Have a great time!
Lol I didn’t finish spelling my own name sheesh
Looks like lots of fun!!
The beach looks wonderful! Congratulations to the gift card winners.
What a beautiful location. A beach is always a happy place
Enjoy yourself, girlfriend are the best. Also, each of you have beautiful skin.
I signed up for your daily email and look forward to reading it each day. Thanks for doing all the legwork and sharing. I appreciate the daily Bible verses too.
I would be very interested in the R & F hair products, I have been having a problem with my hair shedding an abnormal amount daily, for the last two years. I have tried many things every so far as to get steroid injections in my scalp! I am hopeful for these new hair products to help me, and other ladies as well. Su Granville
I love rodan and fields! I’m so excited about the hair care. My hair feels dry and lifeless so I hope they have a product that will help.
Congrats to the latest winners Deanna and Carla!
Congrats to gift card winners. The beach looks beautiful!
Very interested in the new hair line. Mid 50s has my skin dry and dull and my air too. I’m using R+F skincare trying to find what works for me. Now I’m on the hunt for great haircare.
The beach makes everything better!🏖
I too have thinning hair. I will be interested to see if their new haircare line can really help grow new thicker hair. I take collagen daily and use a prescription lash growth product. My nails look great now and my lashes do too but so far no noticeable effect on my hair.
I’m interested in the hair care line. My hair is natural wavy to curly, I have a lot of hair but it is fine. I have to be careful what I use or it drys my hair out and makes it less wavy and curly. I do not color my hair so it’s in good condition. Please tell us what you have coming for this issue. I’m sure there are many gals with the same issues.
That you for everything you do for us !
Congratulations Ladies! And what a fun trip!!
