[confession of the day]
I so didn't give much effort this morning when I was working out. I started out with squats and that was bothering my hip. I worked my calves and then went to lunges. I despise lunges and today I had a sharp pain in my left thigh. I thought I just needed to stretch so I did that and the pain was still there. So, I did a few other things and left. My thighs aren't even sore now and I walk fine except my hip is still bothering me. I'm so not going to improve if I don't push myself.

Talked to my sister last night about Mary Kay (click here to buy from her since she has a deal for the next 3 days and help me discount a purchase of some lip stick, lip balm, etc). She did a quick interview thingy with me. All my answers pointed to staying at home and having some side income... MK. But, the final question she asked was if she could teach me how to provide for my wants/needs via MK, would I be interested in selling. I said "NO" because although I'd like to stay home and make the same income, I NEED my benefits. She replied "you can make enough to pay your benefits" to which I said "but there's something to be said for a consistent income". And doing the math, beauty consultants make a 50% profit. If I made a $24,000 salary (easy math), I'd have to sale $48k of product each year which is $4k per month which is A LOT of stuff and that doesn't include my benefits.

Okay 1st thing 1st my MIL is a MK person... she has people under her - she's not a director but has signed up 5 people... and she doesn't make $4/K per month. and she has about 40 regular customers...
Just wanted you to have a realistic picture....
That would be awesome! I'm so skeptical I'd be afraid to even try (since we need the dual income). But it's worth looking into!
Let me just clarify, there is no way that I'd try selling Mary Kay. At this point in life (with a 6 month old baby) I rarely have time to even put on make-up! And I agree with mommaof2, that kind of money isn't realistic here. I live in the sticks and wouldn't envision that kind of sales in rural country life. Now, IF I were to lose/quit my job, then I might try my hand at something like that. But I like my job/benefits and need my evenings for my crazy life and for family time.
