Last weekend I attended a local Mary Kay training session and one of the highlights was the forecast of this next season’s colors! Ready? It is really beautiful! In fashion we are going to see a focus on the eclectic, artistic, and global beauty, portrayed in ruffles, pleats, draping fabrics, tunics, paisleys, and global prints. The makeup colors of the season mimic that of an ocean landscape: Eye colors in blues and greens of the water, paired with the neutral colors in the sand. For the cheeks, soft shades of pink and berry will be prominent, and for lips soft colors in pink and coral.
The new Mary Kay LOOK magazine will be arriving middle of March and will be cover to cover in this current trend, so you can be sure to choose the right updated colors for this new season. If you haven’t received your copy, you can contact me at lauramjackson@marykay.com and I will send one your way!
I apologize for the lack of postings lately! Can I blame 2 months of inaction on the holidays? Well, whatever the case, I am back and will be posting regularly now.
CALL+RESPONSE is a first of its kind feature documentary film that reveals the world’s 27 million dirtiest secrets: there are more slaves today than ever before in human history. CALL+RESPONSE goes deep undercover where slavery is thriving from the child brothels of Cambodia to the slave brick kilns of rural India to reveal that in 2007, Slave Traders made more money than Google, Nike and Starbucks combined.
Luminaries on the issue such as Cornel West, Madeleine Albright, Daryl Hannah, Julia Ormond, Ashley Judd, Nicholas Kristof, and many other prominent political and cultural figures offer first hand account of this 21st century trade. Performances from Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed artists including Moby, Natasha Bedingfield, Cold War Kids, Matisyahu, Imogen Heap, Talib Kweli, Five For Fighting, Switchfoot, members of Nickel Creek and Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers, Rocco Deluca move this chilling information into inspiration for stopping it.
Music is part of the movement against human slavery. Dr. Cornel West connects the music of the American slave fields to the popular music we listen to today, and offers this connection as a rallying cry for the modern abolitionist movement currently brewing.

WHAT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH BEAUTIFUL YOU?
One leader in the current day abolitionist movement is the International Justice Mission (one of the organizations featured in this film). Because I believe strongly in the work that they do, and in an effort to raise awareness of this organization and the work they do, 5% of all MK retail products I sell go to the work of IJM. So, it has everything to do with my business as a skincare consultant and what I am passionate about. Hope you will be able to watch this documentary. Please comment on this posting with your thoughts on the film.
Beautiful You
