THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS TREE DECORATING

I’m still stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey! We fixed waaaay more food than we needed, so there have been plenty of leftovers. As you can see, I didn’t get my dining room table, so we used two 6ft. tables and wedding chairs instead. It worked out fine for sitting, but we couldn’t bring any food to the table because it was so narrow. Both of my sons have already left, but I still have a few more days to spend with my daughter before she heads back to Alaska.

We cleaned up the tables, and then I started doing the dishes. The girls offered to help, but I told them that I would rather they decorate my Christmas tree instead. This was brilliant on my part since they did such a good job. My daughter entertained the kids and my two DIL’s did the decorating. They even enlisted my 6’4″ tall son to help with putting a few decorations at the top of the tree. He was COVERED in gold glitter by the time he got off the ladder. Lol!

Normally when I use a white flocked tree, I decorate with silver, white, and crystal ornaments. However, when I went to my house in Grundy to get my ornaments, gold was all I could find. So, we went with gold, and I think it still turned out great. I used to buy Christmas ornaments to sell at the lumber company, so most of these came from Raz Imports. You can buy Raz Imports from Amazon, Belk, or even eBay if you don’t have a local store that carries this line.

I spent Thanksgiving night shopping the Black Friday Sales. How many of you shopped these sales, and did you do it online or in-person this year? We ran by Walmart to pick up one of my purchases that shipped there instead of to my house, and it didn’t seem too overcrowded. The shipping was so fast that I’ve almost received everything that I ordered, so I’ve been extremely pleased so far.

I’m still doing a little more shopping, and since it is small business Saturday, I’m reminding you to think about the little guy. There are a few smaller boutiques that I purchase from throughout the year, but most of them don’t have links that I can give you. Also, I am a small business owner with my Rodan + Fields business, so I’ll link to my sales also.

Black Friday Specials

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my skincare. Yes, I am still using Rodan + Fields, even though I’ve also tried to showcase a few other brands. Everyone doesn’t like Nordstrom, Chico’s, or Talbots, so I showcase a wide variety of retailers. That is the same thing that I’ve tried to do when it comes to skincare. However, “I” am using R+F, and I have since early 2016.

I am 61 years old; I’ve never had Botox, fillers, or cosmetic surgery of any kind. R+F is the first skincare I ever used where I could see a visible difference in my skin; that is why I became a consultant. If you are interested in trying what I use, then now would be a great time since “I,” not R+F, am having a Black Friday Special.

Lash Boost

My eyelashes get more comments than anything. I never had long lashes until I started using Lash Boost in Oct. 2016. It is my number one seller, and that is because the lashes speak for themselves. It is not my mascara since I am using one that only costs $4.99. Lash Boost is a clear serum that nourishes your lashes to give you longer-looking, thicker-looking, and younger-looking lashes. Results are guaranteed since R+F has a 60-day money-back guarantee on ALL of their products.

Lash Boost retails for $155, but when you purchase as my Preferred Customer (PC), the price will be $139. My special will be a reimbursement of $25, which is below my cost! To qualify for the discount from me, you MUST purchase as a PC.

If you purchase TWO Lash Boosts, one for you and one to give away, the discount will be $30 each.

Total RF Serum

I’ve been quiet about the latest RF product, Total RF Serum because I wanted to try it out for myself before talking about it. I challenged myself to a 60 day routine of using my AMP MD roller with my Redefine Regimen and Total RF Serum. So many of you have been commenting that I look younger or that I am glowing, so I think my experiment is definitely working!!!

Right now, you can purchase a regimen with the Total RF Serum and get a discount from R+F. However, I want to sweeten the pot. Purchase a regimen/Total RF bundle and get a reimbursement from me of $50!!! Add the AMP MD System to your order, and the reimbursement will be $65 instead of $50.

Active Hydration Serum + Multi-Function Eyecream

Active Hydration Serum and Redefine Multi-Function Eyecream are two products I use 2x a day, and I won’t skip them. Purchase these two favorites, and I’ll reimburse you $30, once again, which is below my cost.

ALL PURCHASES MUST BE MADE AS MY PREFERRED CUSTOMER to qualify for my reimbursement –

Here is how you order.

Go to my website and pick your products
Put them in your cart and go to checkout
Click JOIN PC PERKS
Fill out your billing and shipping info and hit the SUBMIT ORDER button.

This special is running through the end of the month, so reimbursement checks won’t go out until the month is over.
