What a Fantastic Night!!

Our Guest Night with NSD Gillian Ortega was a super success! Not only did we have the pleasure of seeing NSD SuzAnne Brothers, the wonder woman who put this whole thing together, but we were also blessed with two more NSD's Deb Wehrer and Lise Clark.

Gillian shared a great presentation with her family photos and personal stories of growing up in Ireland through hard times. She dealt with people who tried to put her down, only to return to the same area years later as a very successful, fashionable and wealthy woman. Along the way, she worked as a nanny, a waitress, and even an NBA Cheerleader, before being introduced to the Mary Kay opportunity by a chance encounter in a public restroom. She had also met the man of her dreams, and with his support, and her strong belief system learned from her mom, she made the rest of her dreams come true.

Congratulations to all the New Consultants who witnessed Gillian's story and are now going to take that same Mary Kay opportunity and turn it into their own American Dream!

A super big THANK YOU to the very talented women who supported our event with their gorgeous displays:



In the front of the main meeting room, we had a stunning set up of the Beauty Case Starter Kit by Pam Sherman, Assistant to Senior Sales Director Shari Schlapman.








Out in the lobby area, the gallery began with a Men's Collection put together by Red Jacket Shannon Dement from Director Susan Carlson's unit.







Red Jacket Heidi Bunker, from Senior Director Kerri Bunker's unit had a beautiful display of the Mary Kay fragrance line.






Red Jacket Cindy Ewing, from National Sales Director SuzAnne Brothers' unit, gave us a complete line up of the Mary Kay Skin Care line.







Beauty Consultant Carol Weckesser had a darling display with her cute little bathtubs showing us all the products used to make our bodies feel 'Mary Kay Soft'.







Beauty Consultant Kristine Orr's classy display gave us a view of the fabulous colors Mary Kay has to keep us all looking fantastic!





We're going to make this next part of the blog a little interactive! I'm going to put in the pictures I have, and if you see yourself here, leave us a comment about your experience at the event with your name (click the little pencil at the bottom of this posting). I know a lot of you, but not everyone. And since I'm just not sure if I can get everyone listed, it will be fun to hear from you personally.

If any of you have more pictures to share, please send them to suzannessizzlers@yahoo.com.

It was really a great time, and thank you again to SuzAnne for putting this together and to NSD Gillian Ortega for taking time out of her busy schedule to come and share her incredible story, experiences, and teachings with us.

One of the things she taught me that I will never forget... the last words in American is - I Can!

Thank you Gillian!
