My name is Hilary, I'm a redhead, and I've been building
my business since March 2006. I actually started with Mary Kay when I was 5 months
pregnant! I'd always known I would want to stay home with my children,
so I needed a job that I could do while pregnant and
that would permit me to take as long a maternity leave as I needed.
Prior to becoming a professional beauty consultant, I earned a bachelor's
in elementary education but ended up teaching composition and rhetoric
at my alma mater, Asbury College. My husband, Charlie, and I have been married since 2000. We enjoy ballroom dancing, board games, and watching our son discover new things. Our redhaired son, Caspian, is my reason for starting Mary Kay! His birth in July 2006 forced me to miss my very first Seminar, but he's enjoyed flirting with pink ladies at countless MK functions ever since. |
Why make KYredhead.com?
To begin with,
let's get out in the open that I'm a high
"D" personality. As you may know, many Ds feel compelled to tweak
(or even rewrite) any paperwork to fit their own preferences. In my
particular case, I am very sensitive to grammatical mistakes
and aesthetic "errors" in layout and design. As a result, I feel doubly
compelled to create my own materials. Since I am my own boss, fortunately,
I get to do anything I want! Now, while this habit isn't exactly an income-producing activity, having custom-made and grammatically-correct materials does make my job a lot easier! In Mary Kay, we like to support each other whenever we can and benefit each other as our gifts allow. Well, this website is my way of using my abilities to help my fellow consultants. George Bernard Shaw said, "If you have an apple and I have an apple, and we exchange these apples, then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea, and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas." Makes sense, doesn't it? Mary Kay Ash often paraphrased this statement as encouragement to the independent sales force to share our discoveries and success tips with each other. After all, we aren't in competition with each other, so why shouldn't we share what works for us? After finding out what worked for me and my business, I mixed my own ideas with aspects of various handouts and advice from training to create my own custom documents. To make them more accessible to others, I've removed my name and contact information, leaving a blank space big enough for you to personalize the documents for yourself (either by hand or with your Mary Kay stamp or label). Enjoy! |
