90,000 Shipments in One Day!


My company hit all all time high shipping record on April 20th of this year!!!

Rodan + Fields is exploding and has just taken over as the #2 Premium Skincare brand (rounding out the top 5 are Estee Lauder, Lancome, Clinique, and Shiseido!) and #1 Premium Anti-aging brand!


So very proud of my own little piece of the pie!

Finally, more good news!  My tribe is grooooowwwwing again!  Meet Monica, from Washington D.C....


I'm so happy right now I just can't explain. Having this "baby" (business) to raise has been so good for me, I've got this purpose now and my days are full of friendship and conversation.  I just never knew what I was craving until I found it.  I have loved staying home with my boys - it's just irreplaceable to me - but I just wanted something for me.  So happy I found it in this opportunity.

If you have something you are thinking about jumping into JUST DO IT! Growing and changing and challenging ourselves is so scary but so worth it!

Under The Sea (Octopus) Baby Shower!


We had a shower for little baby Greyson last weekend and his mama is obsessed with the octopus theme right now! The girls did a great job with all the details right down to the octopus confetti on the tables.

The cake was two different flavors and sea creatures made from fondant. Can you see Greyson's name written in the crumb "sand"?


Many guests brought gifts wrapped in custom wrapping paper with little octopus cartoons and the mom or baby's name!  You can design something similar for your next shower here


The name banner was just created on the computer and printed - they laminated the sheets, punched holes and threaded a ribbon through each sheet.  Each end was hung with Command Strips so it was temporary - I always forget about those things!


A beachy scented candle was wrapped in netting and embellished with a silver octopus charm. Baby Greyson's photo is on top.


A balloon artist created these amazing octopus balloons in blue and green - they looked SO COOL floating over the room! Want to learn how to create them yourself?  Check out this YouTube video!


An octopus diaper cake was a great centerpiece for the gift table.  I loved this! Here is how to make one: 19 Stunning Diaper Cakes


This shadowbox had a picture drawn by the mama's God-daughter that was just a placeholder for lots of little scrapbook items mom can place inside and display.


Crazy decorated stork is a new tradition mama and her friend found at a yard sale this year.  He over looked the game table: "Guess the baby food" and "Message Diapers". Friend wrote funny sayings on the diapers to cheer up mom and dad during late night diaper changes ("Looks like avocado!"  "I still stink less than dad!")

My nephew was actually born premature at 28 weeks on April 1st, and is still in the NICU.  The bright side was that the proud mama got to enjoy the Bellinis, Mimosa's and Bloody Mary's with her guests!


Look at the octopus corsage!!!

Progress Report

As I was going through old photos the other day, I noticed a selfie where I had a large age-spot on the end of my nose I had never noticed before!  I can see in the photo I am wearing makeup but there is the spot front and center.

I took another photo the other day straight out of bed, no makeup, to take a look at my progress and there is no age spot there.  It's pretty cool that my Reverse Regimen is taking care of skin issues I never even noticed before! Liking the progress I'm seeing with my skin.  I'm turning 44 tomorrow and I have some lost time and sun damage to make up for.

On the business end, I have a friend who approached me about joining me in my Rodan+Fields business last month. I have my first partner in crime and I'm loving having my own person to mentor and bounce ideas off! Happy birthday to me!

Last month, I made enough in my paycheck to take over the payment on my Acura MDX so it's been a great few months for me so far!

If you have any questions about Rodan+Fields the business or the products I'd love to try to help.  Go ahead and email me or comment below and we can connect.

Have a great week!
