My First Facial Party

Was a blast. I was really nervous and very sleepy. I didn't sleep that soundly because I was too anxious. Plus, we have been cleaning the apartment non-stop. It still isn't as clean as I would like it to be, but it's a start. And the mess is hidden away in the next room and the bedroom. I swear we must have had a city of boxes stored in the office. But that is gone now, and the filling that I've been meaning to do is partially done. So I woke up really early to vacuum the apartment because I couldn't do it in the middle of the night. Then I cleaned the bathrooms. Then, I tried to bake a cake, but I didn't have all of the ingredients; so Paul and I made a quick trip to the store. It was a banana pudding cake, and I've never tried this recipe before. I'll post it online on another recipe blog like Mahalia's. Sigh. I think I tried to fit too much in one day because people started arriving and I didn't have time to put on my makeup. Heidi, my recruiter, arrived early to set up the display and make sure that everything was all set. We were supposed to do my color, but I was in the middle of mixing the cake and cooking Paul's lunch. It was a very hectic time. Then, the guests started arriving. I just threw on a skirt, and welcomed them in. Heidi conducted the whole facial. I was suppose to watch and take notes. My guests were: Carrie, Jaclyn, and Jennifer (who didn't count because she was already on my team). It went by fast and smoothly. And I wasn't expecting anyone to buy anything. And I think neither were my friends. But I think the products just speak for themselves, and I came out that day with some profit and some lifetime customers as well as dedicated friends. This day meant a lot to me, and I am thankful that there were people that came all the way down from Orange to share it with me. Oh, Chris and Jared were also there, but Paul rushed them out of the house just as the facial was about to start. Boys! Come on and get in touch with your softer side! So 2 facials down 28 more to go and only 22 days to go. The countdown for my 30 facials has begun!
