Younique – Illinois

I am thinking back to September 2014. I remember how truly unhappy I was in my life. I absolutely hated where I was working, and living, and needed a huge change. On September 8th, I turned in my resignation after having been “spoken to” and “written up” again… I was tired of feeling like I was never good enough. I felt defeated, and also unintelligent, and useless. I had never felt like that in any other job I had held, and I didn’t like it. So I resigned with 30 days notice, and without having another job. The moment I handed that letter in, I started to feel free. My last day at that job was October 10, 2014.

Then in November, my friend was having a Younique online party. I had NO idea what Younique was, or what they sold, except that they had a mascara that promised these mega lashes. (Pfft.. I am not buying that stuff. I use Maybelline, and that’s fine.) Then the party was ending, and I felt bad because I ALWAYS help with school charities and online parties. So, I bought the mascara. Spending $30 was a big deal to someone who isn’t working, but I had wasted more money, on worse things, so what the hell, right?

Eventually, this led me to asking about selling the products. It was $99 (omg I am not working how can I afford that?) and there were no auto-ships, no at home parties unless I wanted to do them, etc. and I decided to get it. For $99 I was getting over $200 worth of products! Then I got the kit, and was playing around with everything, and decided I would try to make back the money I had spent on my kit, and I did. Then I decided I would try to sell more, and I did. I was then hooked. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I also knew that if I kept up with it, it would be worth it. Did I mention that right around the time that I joined with Younique, my house sold, and I moved to a new state? Things just started coming together, and I knew I had made the right decision.
