GIRLS THAT GLITTER PARTY

Hey everyone!

My BFF Erica and I have celebrated GIRLS THAT GLITTER in August for the past several years.  This year we began our celebration on time but decided to extend the celebration until the end of September for a few reasons!!

The first reason is....IT IS ERICA'S BIRTHDAY MONTH!  WOOHOO!  Happy Birthday BFF!  I love you sooooo incredibly much!

The second reason is we just simply love celebrating GIRLS THAT GLITTER.

Some of the things we do to celebrate girls that glitter are; buying new makeup, getting makeovers, getting our fall wardrobes together, buying new accessories, and having a fabulous "GNO" or "Girl's Night Out".  We officially named this tradition in 2009, but have been doing this since the mid 90's.

Erica and I met as teens working in retail at a small town mall.  It was one of those situations where you just meet someone and know you will be life-long friends.  We had so much in common!  We had similar hobbies, a love of makeup and fashion, a great deal of respect and love for family, and we could pretty much finish each other's sentences. :)

We spent our work breaks getting "mud slide" coffee drinks in the mall, shopping for Christian Dior perfumes (Dune), going into Victoria's Secret, and our favorite "lunch" was a pretzel from Pretzel Time. Of course after work we hit the tanning salon before going home. On our days off, we could usually be found at the local amusement park with my little sister and her little brother.

Erica is kind hearted, a free spirit, has a contagious laugh, gives off uber amounts of positive energy, a fitness fanatic, magnificent cook and is always there to help any of her friends out.

Some fun facts about Erica:

• Licensed Esthetician and Make Up Artist
• Worked for several prestigious makeup companies as an independent MUA
• Currently works as a Freelance MUA, Spray Tan and Airbrush Specialist, and Esthetician 
• A top Cookie Lee Sales Representative
• Is a fabulous Wife and Mommy
• Most of all is the greatest Best Friend that anyone could ever ask for!

We would like all of you to celebrate GIRLS THAT GLITTER with us!  Call your best friend and schedule some girl time!  Celebrate beauty, health and wellness!  Celebrate friendship!

One way Erica and I are going to celebrate is by shopping, of course!  About a month ago, Cookie Lee released their new Fall/Winter catalog.  I must say that their new collection is EXQUISITE!  Fashion jewelry should never break the bank, but you also want to spend your money wisely.  Cookie Lee offers a variety of different styles of jewelry to fit everyone's taste and budget. The quality of Cookie Lee jewelry has increased so much since I went to my first party over 10 years ago.  Cookie Lee is currently celebrating their 20th anniversary!  How are they celebrating? They have several items for only $20!

Some of my favorite items are:

1) Victorian Doorknob Medallion ($20) and very Bohemian

2) Blushing Copper Earrings ($18) kind of Boho-chic

3) Starry Night Ring ($28) A statement ring

4) Cascading Crystals Necklace ($42) made of genuine crystal paired with the Opalescent Heirloom Pendant ($36) and Earrings ($26)

There are so many other items I adore that if I sat here listing them all, I would have retyped nearly the entire catalog!

If you are interested in shopping the GIRLS THAT GLITTER online party go to Erica's Cookie Lee Page and type the word "GLITTER" in the box at checkout. 

The most important thing about celebrating GIRLS THAT GLITTER is showing your best friends that you love, appreciate and admire them!  So regardless of whether or not you are interested in my story about Erica, or Cookie Lee's new collection....make sure you show your BFF some extra love this month!

xoxo
