I am not exactly what you would call an extrovert, but I am not an introvert. I'm {what I call} a me-o-vert. Understandably, that sounds very narcissistic, but the thought process behind it isn't. I can be quite extroverted and loudly opinionated and speak my mind when it may not always be wanted, but in new situations, with new people (especially those that will probably judge me), I am SHY AS ALL GET OUT. I do just fine one-on-one, even in an interview. Groups of people "tweeks-my-outie" as Ms. Middle says (freaks me out).
So, I was quite happy when I seemed to make a Kinder-friend, Ann. Her son is in the same class as the Big One. A few weeks ago, she invited me to a skin care party at her house. She sells the product line for Rodan and Fields. She gets to host parties, sell to her friends, and strangers, and make money, selling a product she loves and truly believes in. That's not always an easy task. I thought her stuff was so cool, I asked her to write a post about it. Now, not only did she write a great post for you guys to read, but she is also offering a prize when you use the "Solution Tool" and get the confirming email!

I wear yoga pants as often as possible- just ask Dawn how many times she's
seen me in anything else. But that doesn't mean I don't like to feel beautiful
all the time, even in a ponytail and knock-off UGGS from Old Navy. I also don't
like to wear make-up if I don't have to- who has time to do that. I'll dab on
some finishing powder and a little blush, hit my lashes with a swipe of mascara,
and I'm content. But let's face it (pun intended), I'm not getting younger, and
when I started noticing the beginnings of crows feet last year, I was a little
concerned. I thought, "I'm 31, my kids aren't even in grade school yet. THIS is
only going to get worse." And even though they say Lever 2000 is for all your
2000 parts, I figured it was time to start treating my face like the priceless
piece of real estate that it is.
Just as I was beginning to pay attention to all the ads out there for this
serum and that miracle cream, I was introduced to Rodan + Fields Dermatologists. The name
was familiar- turns out this company is founded by the creators of Proactiv
Solution. But this time, these doctors are redefining how we ALL care for our
skin (not just the unlucky ones with acne). They have a 2-minute
online questionnaire that customized a skincare plan for me designed to meet
my concerns, all based on how these well-known dermatologists work with patients
in their practice. This is great- I'm a full-time mom, part-time nurse. I
don't have the time to go to the dermatologist; and even if I did, you can
bet I'm not dragging my kids along. So I answered 6 simple questions about my
skin and got a customized treatment routine which I then emailed to myself.
Now you're thinking, "Well that's all fine and good, Ann. How do you
know that 'treatment plan' will actually WORK?" I didn't. But what I DID know
is that Rodan + Fields offers a 60-day
satisfaction guarantee on all their products. I had 60 days to try it, and
if I wasn't convinced I could return the empty and get my money back.
I started my customized skincare routine in June. By July, I was in love.
The REDEFINE Regimen I used left my skin smooth and moisturized but never oily.
The random dry patches I used to get were no longer. My "pre" crow's feet were
REALLY improving, and I stopped using under-eye concealer. My gaping pores
seemed to be minimized. And I knew it was legit when my husband gave me his
unsolicited opinion over the adult beverage we were sharing as we sat outside on
a warm summer evening. "Your skin really does look smoother." Well THEN! It
wasn't just in my head.
This month, Rodan + Fields has just released a revolutionary skincare
tool. I've ordered mine, and it's on its way. The REDEFINE Macro Exfoliator provides the
benefits of a professional in-office microdermabrasion treatment, all in the
comfort of your own home without the time and cost commitment. In just 5
minutes, once a week, the hand-held tool sweeps away millions of dead cells that
dull the skin's appearance, and it is clinically proven to visibly improve skin
texture after only one use. It's been featured in Marie Claire and Allure
magazine, and this thing was JUST released 2 weeks ago. The MACRO E is
redefining the way we can care for our skin. I mean, think about it. We try to
make healthy decisions, for our families and ourselves- about what we eat and
feed our kids, how we get exercise and get our kids to stay active, and so on.
Rodan + Fields helps me to carry those healthy lifestyle choices into the way I
care for my face. I only get one face, so I'm going to make the most of it.
You know when you've discovered a new product you're in love with and you
just want to tell everyone how awesome it is? Same thing applies here.
I.love.Rodan+Fields. I share it whenever possible. So I'm excited to share it
with you all! All Dawn's Disaster readers who complete the Solution
Tool questionnaire and email themselves their results will receive a
one-week sample supply of Microdermabrasion Paste, which is my #1 favorite
product. I'm also offering a free gift valued at $24 to all Dawn's Disaster
readers who take our 60-day challenge to change to their skin with Rodan +
Fields. Contact me for details on how to qualify for free shipping and a 10%
discount. (Currently, Rodan + Fields is only available in the US. Ann's prizes are for US residents only, however; if you live outside the US and email yourself, I will give you some ad space, see the bottom of the post).
One last thing- if you would've had the chance to share Proactiv when it
was first released, imagine where you might be. Now imagine a business with
Rodan + Fields, sharing with your friends skincare products that work. What
could that mean for you? I'd love to connect with each and every one of you who
might be thinking about an opportunity like this. Maybe it's for you, maybe
it's not, but arm yourself with the facts and make a well-informed decision. If
you'd like to have a conversation with me, I'd like to share an additional gift
of Rodan + Fields product with you, a mini-facial treatment featuring 3 of our
most loved products. Give me a shout via email or Facebook.
Thanks so much for allowing me to join you here at Dawn's Disaster. I hope
I've inspired to put your best face forward every day, even in yoga pants and a
ponytail!
