50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGAfter you read this post you may start asking yourself, “is she working or playing?” I have been asking myself the same thing. I just got back from Glamour Day in Columbia, SC late Sunday night. This was a day of pampering from some of the leaders in Rodan and Fields. I was one of about 30 – 40 women who traveled from all over the south to attend this event. This was my second Rodan and Fields event that I have attended, the first being Las Vegas. I got to meet a lot of wonderful women who I had only seen come across my FaceBook feed. 50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGThe event started at 10:00 a.m. and we arrived a little early to help with setting up. Honestly, Caroline Glenn had everything under control, she did a great job of coordinating all the details. As you arrived you were given a group number to try to keep everyone from overwhelming the makeup and hair stylists. I was in group 1 which meant I didn’t have to walk around with no makeup on all day. THAT was a good thing. Lol! Both makeup ladies were very nice, but I liked mine the best. Haha Carolyn from RockStar Beauty did a great job on my makeup. I had never had anyone put my makeup on before so I was a little nervous. I admit that I packed my makeup bag and brought it with me to the event just in case I needed to quickly duck into the bathroom and do some adjustments. Lol! Thankfully, I did not have to do that, but my Energizer Bunny friend was not as lucky as me. She did not have Carolyn as her makeup lady. I would have loved to have shared her photo, but I don’t guess that would have been very nice. However, it would have been funny!50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGThere were three ladies doing hair, and all of them did a great job. I had mine done by Lauren who said she loved my cut. When I sat down, she said that my hair already looked great even though all I had done was wash it and dry it with a round brush. 50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGWe had plenty of snacks and drinks. I somehow didn’t manage to get a picture of the Mimosa’s, but I did manage to drink one. I had worried about having a massage because I can’t stand to be still and I am not comfortable with someone, other than Joe, rubbing their hands all over my body. Lol! Turns out I didn’t have to worry, the masseuse had to cancel at the last minute. I was not a bit unhappy. Hahaha!50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGThis is my Energizer Bunny friend aka Leigh Ann. She and I had on a “lash” shirts and “lash” glasses in honor of the new product Lash Boost that was recently released from Rodan and Fields. 50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGAnd then the two of us became four. We laughed and said this is how we wanted our teams to grow.50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGThe four soon became five.50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGAnd then we were at eight.50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGHoly cow, now we are at nine!!!50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGWhen your team expands to ten, you go a little crazy! ???‍?‍?‍?50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGI promise I wasn’t an oddball that bought the wrong color shirt. There were a lot of gray shirts at the event but they had all left by the time we got around to taking these pictures. Being different from everyone else is one way to get put in the middle of the picture. Lol!50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGThis is a group shot after the event was over. We were the only ones still left, that tends to happen when it is time for the cleanup. The real reason that Leigh Ann and I were sticking around is because there was going to be a business opportunity session happening in about 30 minutes. We live in such a small town that there will not be any of these sessions coming to Grundy, and we wanted to hear what they had to say.50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGCaroline (in the lash shirt) did a great job getting everything together for the event. And Iris, in the brown, is the one who talked during the business session. While pampering was fun, I admit that the business opportunity session was my favorite part of the entire day. It was so inspiring to hear Iris’s story about how she got involved with R & F and how it has changed her life. Caroline shed a few tears when she talked about her job as a pharmacist. She was working 60 hours or more a week and not getting to spend any time with her family. I am still new to the “business” part of R & F, I got involved because of the products, so it was interesting to listen to Iris tell me about the company and about the doctors. When she talked about Proactive which is the number 1 acne selling medicine in the world and which is sold in 181 countries, I remember thinking how crazy it would have been if I had gotten in on that slice of the pie 20 years ago. Now that these same doctors are inviting me to join in with them, I am not about to miss out on that opportunity.50 IS NOT OLD | WORKING OR PLAYINGThis is what everybody at the event was buzzing about. On the tip of everyone’s tongue was, “do you know anyone in Australia?” The reason, of course, is because of the enormous opportunity to be on the ground floor of a product launch in a brand new country. The first consultants who come on board, stand to make a huge amount of money. Iris will be traveling to Australia for two weeks the first of December and will be conducting pre-signups. There is already a list of about 500-600 who are ready to take advantage of the opportunity. If any of my Australian (or Canadian) readers are interested in hearing more, please email me at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com

I was happy with my skin looking better, but I admit I could get used to all this pampering. My Energizer Bunny friend surprised my with a white, very soft and fuzzy, robe with R + F and my name embroidered on it. She also insisted on paying for my supper and the hotel bill. You can see that it was all “work” and no “play!” Lol!

So, I have been thinking about a “special” to run for the Christmas season. I have come upon two ideas! This will work for Plunder OR Rodan and Fields.

  1. 10% off any order over 50.00 (excluding the taxes and shipping) I will send you a check. OR
  2. Layaway. You would have to message me your items you wish to purchase. I would need a 20% downpayment, (Paypal preferred, but I can take a credit card over the phone) and then remaining must be paid by December 1st. The items will be then shipped to you.

To place an order for the 10% off with Plunder, go to www.plunderdesign.com/party/ts and go to www.tstephens5.myrandf.com to place an order with Rodan and Fields.

To place an order for the layaway, email me with all your information at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com

I appreciated all the prayers that you have said for my grandmother. Unfortunately, she passed away late Monday night, so I am traveling to Tennessee for the funeral. Granny was a wonderful force in my life and I loved spending the night with her. I am thankful for all the wonderful memories I have been left with and that she went peacefully. She was a wonderful Christian lady who was even my Sunday school teacher for years. She loved Butterfly pins, so all of the women in the family are going to be wearing a butterfly pin from her collection.

It is time for a giveaway. The response was so overwhelming last month when I gave away a Rodan and Fields multi-function eye cream, that I decided to give away another one. To enter, leave a comment about your own grandmother. I will announce the winner next Wednesday.

    I am so sorry for your loss, but you have the comfort of knowing she is with Jesus! My sweet and precious grandmother passed away many years ago but the memories I hold dear to my heart are many. One thing I remember about her was that on every visit, she would always give me something, usually something small or maybe something she had cooked. What a special lady she was

    Loved my grandma and my granny to pieces! One raised 10 kids..the other 9 during the Great Depression. Dirt poor, but they had God and family, and they survived! When my life is difficult, I think of them and what they endured. “THESE are the women I come from”.. (Love that song!)

  3. I had a “mema” and she was wonderful!!Always ready to feed anybody at anytime❤️

    My grandma made the best biscuits! She always gave me some dough to play with. I hope to share memories like this with my granddaughter Addie Jo. So sorry for your loss.

  5. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to know any of my grandparents. They all passed away before I was born or when I was an infant. Feel like I missed out on a big part of life. So sorry for your loss. Thank you for the blog. It is the absolute best one out there.

  6. My grandmother was the sweetest, most caring person I have ever known. People in our community loved to visit with my Grandparents, and if you didn’t visit with her in awhile, she certainly would let you know that you hadn’t. God love her, I miss her . She made the best lemon squares and peanut fudge. Condolences to you and your family.

    I had seen that sweet video when you posted it some time ago and it was adorable. My condolences. My grandmothers hold a special place in my heart, although they have been gone for many years….?

    My Granny was the best! She cooked a porkchop and red eye gravey every morning for breakfast. No matter what kind of day I was having it was ALWAYS better after a little Granny time. I hope that I can be that kind of Granny to my grands. I miss her everyday.
