Looking Forward to the New Year

 

Hey Beauties! I can't believe that 2012 is actually coming to an end. I feel like this year flew by at lightning speed. I know, personally for me  I will never forget 2012 I experienced great highs and tragic lows. This year my family lost several significant family members, however, we topped off the year on a positive note with the birth of my niece December 23, 2012. Two days before Christmas she has been our greatest gift this year!

Looking ahead to the New Year we are super excited about the new products, services and slight tweaks to our over all look. Not to mention the Beauty Lounge that's currently under construction. Then this spring we introduce our first ever spokes beauty that will represent our brand! We have a lot on our plate this year and we can't wait to take it on.

Beauties I wish you all an abundant and successful new year!

XOXO...Nicole

Last Week of the Year: My Year in Review

Wow!! Today is the last day of the year and I'm wondering "how did we get here so fast"? This year went by as quickly as a blink of an eye. Some days it even felt as though we were on a roller coaster ride with all of the peaks and valleys we lived through. But we made it through and was even able to earn a few achievements along the way. While I am not completely sure we lived up to last years motto "Make it Shine in 09" I do believe we made it Glimmer.

Looking back on the year 2009, I will remember it as a hallmark year for the company we were able to earn a few mini achievements, however, personally I will remember it as a year of major loss. This year my family lost a beloved family memeber, the world loss the King of Pop and I lost my beloved dog Simba. Although they are no longer with us their light continues to shine because of the hugh influence they've had on my life.


Looking back on the year what will you remember most about 2009?

My Birthday Blessing

This is a picture of my mother and I on my fourth birthday.

Today is my birthday and I am thankful for all the blessings in my life. Sadly, I know of a few people that are never happy when their birthday comes around. I, obviously, am not one of them!!! Every year since my birth (can you guess how many years that is?) everyone in my family has gone out of their way to make me feel special. So I always considers May 15th as My Day.

Now that I am an adult, although some of my siblings may think otherwise, I no longer make birthday wishes, instead, I am thankful for all of my Birthday blessings. The blessing that I am most grateful for this year is my family. I have always known I come from a great family. However, I recently realized how strong we are!!!!!

What would you consider a birthday blessing?

Family Branding

Well, fashion week just wrapped up here in NYC and one of the most highly anticipated shows is the Kimora Lee Simmons show featuring her Baby Phat and KLS collections. I must say I really admire Kimora. Some people may not agree with everything the outspoken Kimora may say but I absolutely admire her parenting and business savy. I love the way she incorporates her daughters into her Baby Phat brand. In fact, her daughters even have their own piece of the Baby Phat pie. They have thier own line for little girls. She is doing something all parents should do and that is to show her children how to control their destiny. She built a brand and now she is raising her children in the brand. Most importantly she is emotionally and financially empowering her girls. Are you financially and emotionally empowered?
