An Amazing Weekend in Napa
A year ago last July, my friend Bridgette was dropping off her daughter to play at our neighbor's house. Kevin was in the front yard doing yard work and stopped & chatted with Bridgette (we all went to high school together and Claire is the same age as her oldest son) Bridgette was on her way to Napa for a Rodan + Fields trip that she won & Kevin told Bridgette that he was glad she was having so much fun with her business. Then he said to her "Mel should do that business"
Kevin came into the house later and told me I should look into Rodan + Fields. I rolled my eyes at him and said "Yeah right. I am not a sales person. I will never do direct sales. I will just keep buying the products from Bridgette"
Fast forward to the Fall and I kept seeing how much fun Bridgette was having and I was telling my friends they should buy R+F from her. After a couple conversations with Bridgette, she said I should really consider becoming a consultant. So, in November I signed on.
I was scared. And excited. And nervous.
So, here I am 8 months into this business and I got to go on that same Napa trip that Bridgette was on last July. It was an incentive trip from our team and I was one of the winners!
A free weekend in Napa! Pinch me!
Our day started off by getting pedicures & having mimosas.
There were 6 of us on this trip. 3 of the top leaders on the team who put on this trip & then the 3 of us from the team who won the trip.
Toes ready do head off to Napa!
Napa is one of the most beautiful places in California.
I mean seriously....breath taking!
Our first stop was Frank Family for a picnic & wine tasting.
Loved these lights:
Next we headed to Pragers Winery for Port & Chocolate tasting.
It was my first time there and I loved it!
They have a bottle of port called "Sweet Claire".
We headed to Silverado Resort & Spa which is where we were staying until Monday.
It is breath taking there!
We had a little condo & for dinner we did Margaritas & Tacos. It was a blast.
Our leaders had gotten us white fluffy robes with our names on them. So cozy!
The next morning we woke up to more presents. I got a Kate Spade bracelet. My first one ever!
Then we headed off for more Wine Tasting.
Our first stop was my favorite winery....Cakebread Cellars!
One of the girls on our team, Colleen, it was her birthday on Sunday, so we made her wear a birthday sash.
Me & Bridgette! So thankful for her friendship all these years and even more as a business partner.
Ahhhh.....Cakebread!
Do a cheers to celebrate ourselves & a fun weekend.
Final wine tasting stop of the day was Napa Valley Wine.
Then we headed back to Silverado for lunch & pool time.
Our leaders gave us these notecards & notebook to write down our goals.
Then we all got ready & headed out for dinner at Rutherford Grill!
They have fresh squeezed juices that they make their cocktails with. Squeeze the juice right there!
It was my first time there....delicious food!The grilled Artichokes are AMAZING.
One last group shot. Of course we had the doctors in the photo as a way to say thank you for an awesome weekend :)
We headed back on Monday morning, but before we left, they had another gift for us.
A coach bag!!!! Ahhh!!! I have never had a Coach bag before!!!
It was such an amazing weekend!
I am so thankful for the opportunity of Rodan + Fields.
It has been such a gift and this Napa weekend was just the icing on the cake.
If you are looking to earn some extra money each month in very part time flexible hours, then this might be the right fit for you!
No quota to sell each month, no inventory and no home parties.
Totally web based!
You don't need a blog to do well in this business (in fact, I am the only one on our team with a blog. I would say about 10% of my business is from the blog, so if you are a blog reader have purchased R+F products from me, Thank you for your support!)
The majority of my business is family & friends.
I tell everyone who is interested in R+F that if I can sell it, anyone can sell it. I had no sales experience before this!
I had no idea what I was doing.....I was just a mom of 3 kids & a teacher.
I had no sales experience whatsoever.
But I quickly realized that I didn't need sales experience because of 2 things.
1. The product has brand presence. It is from the creators of ProActiv & it comes with a 60 day empty botttle money back guarentee.
2. We get so much (free) training from our leaders & teams and it is a huge support system. It doesn't matter if you have never done sales, you will get awesome training.
If you are even slightly interested in joining our FUN team, I would love to chat with you about it!
Send me an email:

It is a very exciting time for Rodan + Fields, as we are launching into Canada next month and Asia next year!
If it isn't a fit for you...let me know if you have any friends/family who would be interested.
We have a great referral program :)

One more thing to add about Napa!
When we were at Cakebread, the awesome girl who did our wine tasting tour told us that she makes Cabernet Brownies. I asked her for the recipe & this is what she said:
Take a box mix of Brownies. When is says add 1/4 cup of water, replace the water with Red Wine.
I made a batch on Tuesday night.
AMAZING.
I added some milk chocolate chips on top and in the mix to make them even more decadent.
I will never make brownies with water again.
These brownies were life changing!
I learned so much this weekend in Napa & made new friends.
It was my first time being away from my kids for 2 nights, but being surrounded by amazing moms who are also part of this business was encouraging.
It was a weekend I will never forget and these brownies will always remind me of an amazing weekend in Napa.

Happy Hallo Weekend
Wow, what a fun Halloween weekend!
I renamed it Hallo-weekend because the whole weekend was filled with Halloween activities & parties!
On Saturday we went to a Halloween Party at the Eakin's house.
(Originally, I made the girls these pumpkin shirts for Kate to wear to her preschool Pumpkin Party, but she had a runny nose & cough, so we kept her home that day.)

(Originally, I made the girls these pumpkin shirts for Kate to wear to her preschool Pumpkin Party, but she had a runny nose & cough, so we kept her home that day.)
The party was a good old fashioned Halloween party complete with pumpkin carving, bobbing for apples & potato sack races.
And, they had a donut on a string eating contest!
Kate was REALLY into this. She waited patiently for the first 2 rounds of kids to have their turn & then she was ready to go!
It was hysterical, she kept licking the donut.
Eventually, I told her she could use her hands to eat it. I wish I had taken of video of her trying to eat the donut on the string. All the kids were hysterical!
Claire helped Kate finish off her donut!
After the Halloween Party, we had to go home & get ready for our next door neighbor's Surprise 40th Birthday Party. It was also Costume/Halloween Party and I wasn't sure what to dress up as until 6 that night. I pulled together this outfit.PROM QUEEN
That is the actual dress I wore to my Senior Prom...circa 1997.The crown is from Kate & Claire's dress up bin & then I cut a piece of fabric I had & wrote PROM QUEEN on it with Sharpie. Yay for free Halloween costumes!
Kevin dressed up as an 80's guy, using his outfit & wig from the 80's party we went to last month.
Then, on Sunday it was Halloween!
Claire was SUPER GIRL
Kate was WONDER WOMAN
(and, Boulder was a Bumble Bee)Claire liked running around pretending to fly like Super Girl
Kate doing her best Wonder Woman pose
The 4 of us!
We decided to stick around our neighborhood & trick or treat with some of our neighbors.
Wonder Woman Kate leading the way!
Here are some of the kids on our court that we trick or treated with!
Claire kept stopping & eating candy as the night went on. It was hysterical.
We went trick or treating for almost an hour. The girls loved itThey got a good stash of candy:
When we got home, it was time for our traditional Halloween dinner, Taco Soup & Cornbreadwhile we watched the Giants game & waited for trick or treaters to come to our house!
And, for dessert (because we needed more sugar) were cake balls!
They are orange & black in honor of the Giants & Halloween!
At our old house, we would maybe get 5 trick or treaters.So, this year, I just bought 1 bag of candy.
I was NOT prepared for the amount of trick or treaters we get at this house.
I ran out of candy & had to give out some of the girls candy while Kevin went to the store to buy more candy! It was SO fun having so many trick or treaters!
The girls LOVED passing out candy to all the kids who came to the door.
Here is Claire "organizing" the new candy that Kevin bought.
I live in the same neighborhood that I teach in, so I had so many students who trick or treated at my house. The look on their faces when I answered the door was always shock..."Trick or Treat...oh........! Hi Mrs. Larson!"And, last but not least, here is our front porch with our pumpkins & zuchinni all lit up:
Every year Kevin carves a zucchini from his dad's garden.And, the pumpkin on the right, with the beard is in honor of the SF Giants pitcher Brian Wilson, Fear the Beard!
Hope you all had a fun & safe Halloween weekend!
