BeautiControl!!!!!!

Monday Monday Monday.....it always feels so nice to start a new week but also so overwhelming looking at the week ahead. Today, I will take a breath, invite the new week, and welcome it with a smile. Hello Monday!
I live in NY and this is where I grew up. I have two sisters whom I love to pieces but miss everyday. One sister and her family lives in Buffalo, and my other sister and her family lives in North Carolina. Between us all we have 8 kids ranging from 9 months all the way up to 14 years old. Sad part is that we never see each other. We have been trying to make more of an effort to get together, but I have to admit, it can be difficult, time wise and financially. I am very lucky that my extended family all still lives here in NY so I have made it a point to try and make plans with my cousins as much as possible.
On Saturday I had a wonderful evening. My cousin works for a company called BeautiControl. This company is a skincare line that promotes providing your skin with at home spa treatments. It emphasizes that you don't need to go to a spa to receive the treatments. They promote their products, among other ways, with at home Spa Parties. What a GREAT idea! Now, I do have to confess that I was extremely disappointed in a handful of my friends who bailed on my spa party that I hosted this past Saturday. I planned it a month in advance, sent out evites, received RSVPs that had me expecting about 8 guests. I prepped for 8 guests, buying wine, fruit, teas, snacks etc, and had a whopping 2 friends show up. Booo to all of you who bailed on me. Ok, so aside from that tangent, my cousin Jennifer came to my house with basically a spa in a bag. She managed to give us, hand treatments, lip treatments, eye treatments, facial masks, foot treatments...it was amazing. I woke up with my face glowing but also had such a relaxing evening. I know it may seem weird that I am promoting a skin care product, but hey, I don't make EVERYTHING. Maybe, one day I will, but for now, I must share with you the amazing products that we got to try out. GO to their site and check out Lip Apeel. This product sloughs your lips and then gives you a moisturizer to put on after to keep your newly smoothed lips moist. Awesome! My other favorite was the warming Green Tea masque that we used. Oh boy did that feel great! I mean imagine this..sitting in your living room, with your feet wrapped in a foot softening treatment, your hands already smooth from the hand treatment we started the evening off with, a warm masque on your face, cucumber eye pads on your eyes, and a warm cloth being placed on your forehead, all while Jen reads a very soothing story to you. Girls...and guys....you need to try this out. Hosting one of these parties gives you discounts and a great hosting gift. My two girlfriends and I seriously had an amazingly chill evening. So cool!
Anyway, I know LiVee has everything you will need to take care of your body. But BeautiControl has so many things to pamper your skin. You should give it a whirl!
Thank you Jennifer for the introduction to these products and for showing me how easy home pampering can be.
