My Mark Package Arrived (Magalog 9) - Yaaaay! (Part 1)
Guess what arrived yesterday?
Yup, you guessed. A package from mark. Ya, baby, ya. :) Cakes (my cat) thought my package was a toy though. lol
| Love her to bits! |
Here's the 'before I tore into everything like it's Christmas Day' shot.
Now, before I continue I'll briefly mention the benefits of being a mark. representative compared to being just a mark. customer. As a representative, you are able to earn 30% commission on most items that you, personally, sell. The cool thing is if you decide you want to earn a little extra money on the side this would be the perfect opportunity because there are never any monthly quotas and never any fees to maintain. It's simple. You purchase the startup kit and then begin earning 30% commissions right away. That's it. Oh, and you automatically get your very own FREE e-boutique. How cool is that?! But the benefits don't stop there. When you become a mark. representative you ALWAYS get a 30% discount for yourself. Not only that, but you get to purchase exclusive mark. items before they are made available to the general public.
You have the choice of becoming a mark. representative to purchase items at a discounted price for your own personal use OR to make this your very own serious business. And if you decide on the latter, you never have to fret about being alone because there is such a huge supportive group of people ready, willing, and able to help you. You're never alone. In fact, it's always like you're at a party to be honest.
Enough talking about mark. Let's bring on the pictures of what came inside my package! (There will be a few items in my package that haven't been released to the public, so shhhhhh... Don't tell.)
Another cool thing is that sometimes my orders come with FREE stuff! Representatives always get 5 free magalogs with every order, but I also received a BUNCH of the newly formulated i-mark wet/dry eye shadows that are highly pigmented, may I add. Lastly, I received the new Sweet Studs earrings that come in a set of 3.
(Let's see how many people are really reading my blogs. ;-) How about the first FIVE people who comment on this post about the i-mark wet/dry eye shadows and leave their e-mail will receive FREE i-mark samples. I'll contact my 5 winners via e-mail and ask for your response with your postal address and mail them out promptly. ;-) Good luck!
| Got the Goods Multi Benefit Foundation Lotion in shade Very Light 2 |
This product hasn't come out yet. Actually, it will be out in Magalog 10, starting September 7. There are a total of 14 different shades. This liquid foundation gives your skin a radiant glow and a dewy finish. There are MULTIPLE benefits to using this foundation. (Hmmmm... sounds like it may need a blog all by itself! Maybe with some demonstrations, too?)
While we're, sort of, still on the subject of the i-mark wet/dry eye shadows -- I purchased two of the newly formulated 28 shades. These are in Lotus and Corset. Again, GREAT pigment and they blend very well together. And yes, you have the option of applying them wet OR dry. mark. gets cooler and cooler every month! Each i-mark is purchased individually and is equipped with a magnetic backing that attaches to the magnet strip within the Snap To It custom color palette that are sold separately found in the picture below.
I think this is a good place to stop for now. I still have quite a few items I can't wait to show you!!! But before I conclude I'll give you some quick info if you'd like to do any shopping for yourself. You can jump on my e-boutique here. If you decide you want to become your very own mark. representative, then jump to www.meetmark.com, click on 'sell mark.' and pretty please copy and paste my referral code in the box. Please? Thank you!
Referral Code: 13296136
I'll be back with Part 2 coming soon! And good luck to all trying for the free sample!!!
Luv,
mark. girl marie

My Withdrawal from the American Heart Walk
This is a short note to tell everyone that as much as I wanted to participate and raise money for the American Heart Association on Saturday, August 25, 2012 in the Heart Walk, I have e-mailed the person in charge to inform her that I have withdrew.
My reason for this decision is my disappointment in their collection of donation system.
I, personally, feel that if I ask you for a donation then you have the choice in deciding how much or how little you would like to donate. There are many factors in this decision; One being factored is a limited income.
Now, when I first started asking for donations I never wanted anyone to feel obligated to give a certain amount. As time went on, I learned that in order to make a convenient online donation on my donation page there was a stipulation... and that was if you wanted this credit card convenience then the minimum donation amount was $25. This was a major determent for those who wanted to make a donation, as well as myself.
I felt disappointed in the American Heart Association's method of collecting donations; In addition, my schedule makes it difficult to meet everyone face-to-face for cash/check donations.
In all, this is the reason why I regrettably made the decision to withdraw from the Heart Walk.
In light of the situation, I truly wish all those who are still participating and involved with the Heart Walk on August 25, 2012 abundant blessings for a great overall success!

Heart Walk - August 25, 2012 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
One beautiful Saturday afternoon in May, my boyfriend and I
decided to visit University Circle and enjoy its rich culture. As we drove through this little community of
winding streets and pleasant backstreets of artistic architectural buildings
and stand-alone pieces, this small white building that looked – to me – as a
house with a bit of Victorian-style edge (I'm not familiar with architecture styles) jumped out at me. The sign read American Heart Association. I drove past that building many times, but
never paid any attention until that day when I was sitting in the passenger
seat.

Something took over me from that point on. The next day I searched the internet for
their website and felt compelled to, somehow, be a
part of this organization. In exploring
the American Heart Association’s site I discovered the Heart Walk which takes place on August 25, 2012, starting at Voinovich Park in Downtown Cleveland.
The purpose of the Heart Walk is to raise funds for programs
to help educate and raise awareness in saving lives. Did you know that “nearly 25 percent of
the funds the American Heart Association raised last year came from
the Heart Walk”?
These funds all help by:
“* $15 can make the
newest CPR Guidelines available to an emergency care provider.
* $20 could teach up
to 50 people how to assess their risk of cardiovascular diseases and stroke and
provide the steps for them to identify and reduce their risk.
* $100 can equip one
hospital or health department with resources to educate patients, the public
and health professionals about stroke prevention and life after
stroke -- the #4 cause of death and a leading cause of serious disability.”
Did you also know that –
“- 65 million Americans have high blood pressure.
- Nearly 100 million have borderline-high or high cholesterol.
- More than 136 million are overweight or obese.
- 36,000 babies are born with heart defects each year.”
- Nearly 100 million have borderline-high or high cholesterol.
- More than 136 million are overweight or obese.
- 36,000 babies are born with heart defects each year.”
My goal is to be a part of an
organization that will better equip – at least one person – with the knowledge
in preventative measures by sustaining an overall healthier heart and
lifestyle, and save a LIFE.
I have decided to dedicate
this Heart Walk to my dad, Joe Hermann.
Heart disease ran in his family from both sides. Dad suffered from an enlarged heart. His heart was tired and stopped beating the
evening of
2-18-09. The EMS revived his
heart. Dad was then rushed to the
hospital where he never truly had woken.
The machines kept him alive. As a
family, my mom, my brother, and I had decided to let him go. It was the most difficult and surreal thing I
have ever experienced in my entire life.
Dad’s heart took his final beat in the morning of 2-23-09. His heart was too tired.
Please know that I understand
that financial obligations and difficulties make it hard for some to donate.
For those who are able, will
you please help me in raising awareness to this killer of a disease? Whatever the amount you feel is on your heart
to donate I will accept with great gratitude and a humble heart.
Every little bit counts.
Please click on this link now to make a contribution. Thank you, in
advance, for your generosity and kind heart!
I appreciate everyone’s efforts in helping to improve the lives of all
people regardless of ethnicity, gender, or age.
Everyone is loved by someone. God BLESS every person that reads this post!!!

A Sad Farewell to ivi Scents
April 15, 2012 had a high point and a low. My high point was that it was Sunday morning,
and I was exactly where I needed to be… arms raised with earnest heart at Faith
Fellowship Church, in Macedonia, Oh.
My low point was when I opened my e-mail later that evening
on Yahoo. The sender was from one of my
favorite people… Aarin, CEO of iviScents!
The subject line was unlike any I’ve received from her before – it was
very harsh and to-the-point.
It read, “Going out of business – Huge announcement”.
I read the e-mail with tears almost welling in my eyes. I
had finally found a bar soap and lotion that I loved and made me feel good.
Aarin is a wonderful young woman with an entrepreneurial
spirit who started her own company as a result of being laid off from her
teaching career. With a lot of prayer, hard
work, research, and the last bit of her savings she began ‘ivi Scents’, a bath
and body line full of soaps, body icings, sugar scrubs, & bath bombs all
completely free of toxins (sulfates, parabens, mineral oils, triclosan, GMOs,
phthalates, and free from animal cruelty).
| Milk & Honey. Smells yummy! |
| Ozone - It smells crisp, clean, and cottony. |
After discovering ivi Scents through a YouTube video review
I immediately jumped on Aarin’s website at www.iviscents.com.
I must admit, the website did a
wonderful job in recruiting me! Hahaha The website had a fresh and fun vibe. Not only that, but there were two deciding
factors that led me into making my first purchase: first, Aarin was the owner
and founder of her very own business, yet she stayed humble and regularly
corresponded with her customers, and second, I noticed a small scripture
plastered on the bottom of the web-site, as well as on the corner of all her
products. (Psalms 149: 4 - For the Lord
takes pleasure in His people; He will
beautify the humble with salvation. NKJV)
I truly wanted to support ivi
Scents and made my first purchase in January 2012.
At the time, I was in between jobs
and didn’t have much money so I decided to try the ‘buy 1 get 1 free’ deal on
the limited edition holiday scent – Peppermint Kissed.
Needless to say, I fell in
love! The variety of smells are yummy,
and knowing I am applying products to my skin that are free of toxic scum is a
bonus!
| Smells just like a candy cane! :) |
Since January I’ve used store
bought shower gel and shampoo only a couple of times and could tell a major
difference!
I have a little experiment for
anyone who would like to test or try out…
Bust out two brand new loofahs - one
specifically for the soap or shower gel you normally use and the second is to
be used inclusive of ivi Scents soaps.
Use your normal shower gel/soap for
1 month.
With the other loofah use ivi
Scents soap for 1 month.
If, after your experiment, you’re
like me you will notice a difference on your skin. Ivi Scents truly gets me feeling squeaky clean
after my shower. The other soaps (and may
I remind you, again, they are filled with sulfates, parabens, etc..) leave my
skin feeling like I can’t rinse it enough!
The other thing you will notice is
the difference between the two loofahs.
One will be highly scented and a bit softer. The other may have a slight scent, but you
will notice more of a ‘plastic-y’ smell… the same new smell as when it was
first bought from the store. They will
both feel a bit different.
The loofah that was used with ivi
Scents is the one that may feel a bit more stiff/newer with just a slight
plastic-y smell.
The reason? Ivi Scents is made without any harsh
chemicals and toxins which results in a squeaky clean feel without any left
over residue. The proof is in your skin…
and in your loofah!
The next subject I’d like to
include in my post is about hair loss.
I started losing my hair about 5 –
7 years ago and hasn’t stopped… until recently.
In fact, during these years I
experienced spurts of hair loss that became out of control to the point of
losing clumps at a time! Trust me. It’s NOT a good look, especially when you
have fine hair as it is!
I read somewhere that sulfates
(which are in your shampoos) are an irritant and people with sensitivities (ME,
ME, ME) may experience hair loss from ongoing use.
With this in mind I thought, “What
will it hurt if I try washing my hair with this toxin-free bar soap?”
I never washed my hair with any
kind of bar soap in the past, but I kinda figured I’d give it a try with ivi
Scents since there are no sulfates.
I’m not telling anyone to switch
from their shampoo to ivi Scents bar soap for washing hair, but I am saying
that I will NEVER go back to regular shampoo.
EVER!
My hair loss has significantly decreased since using, and
feels more healthy and full of volume.
This is a first for me in YEARS.
There were two times since January that I used regular old store bought
shampoo and couldn’t stand how limp, greasy, and weighted down my hair
felt. Simply amazing!
Now that you know all the reasons
why I love ivi Scents, I’m sure you understand how sad of a day it was, for me,
to find out this wonderful little company is going out of business. What am I to do now?? The first thing I did was place an order to
keep myself stocked with ivi scents for as long as I can. When I go through my last product I’m sure I
can go to a place like Whole Foods and find a good soap/shampoo/lotion that’s toxin
free, BUT I already know I’ll be paying an arm and a leg for these specialty
items. Not only that, but who else makes
soaps and lotions so delicious you want to eat them!
Can I make a little confession?
The day I read Aarin’s sad e-mail I
instantly thought that maybe there
would be a bombardment of customers buying all her products up in support of
her business endeavor, resulting in a spike in sales and no need for shutting
the doors.
Unfortunately, I’m still holding on
to this last bit of hope.
As sad as it is that Aarin has to
close the doors to ivi Scents, all I can do (as Aarin’s loyal customer) is
purchase and stock up on my most favorite soaps and body icings, and continue supporting
Aarin by my prayers that after this door is closed another door will open.
I love ivi Scents and I love
Aarin. <3
