It's a new year -- time for some new beauty goals!
Here are five great beauty tips to help you make it through the second half of winter -- while we wait for Spring to blossom and the world to come to life again...
1. Move that cuticle oil out of the linen closet and over to your bedside -- so you actually USE it every night. (Winter weather = dry cuticles!)
2. Buy one new makeup item before spring hits to help keep the winter blues away. (Think: glowy blush color or tinted lip gloss).
3. Apply a rich, creamy hand lotion more often to keep aging at bay. (My thoughts on Jamberry's "Nourish?" High-end, but surprisingly worth it).
4. Be brave: try a new hairstyle. Go through with those bangs or highlights you've been toying with.
5. Add just a hint of self-tanner to your regular moisturizer to give your winter skintone a boost.
Give just one of these a try... and possibly Spring won't seem quite so far off after all.

Better than doing dishes, gather the gals at your Thanksgiving Day event and solve riddles and complete little tasks to earn points. Two ways for your team to win -- most points + a random prize drawing!
Complete with a FREE PRIZE for the gal who brings the game to her Thanksgiving gathering (with the possibility of winning big for your whole group!) -- so shh, quick, send us an email now before your sister-in-law or cousin does!

Never tried Jamberry Nail Wraps? No worries. This is the perfect way to explore and learn more as a group. You'll earn points for things like watching the Macy's Day Parade, wearing certain colors, and solving riddles to name certain wraps. 1980s movies may be involved. Christmas movies too.

Just Got a Sample Card? Here's How to Use Them! | Apply Your Heat-Activated Jamberry Nail Wraps Right for a Long Lasting Manicure
The fall/winter Jamberry 2014 catalog is out and the 300+ designs are stunning!
From simple and solid to trendy and modern, there's something for everyone.
If you're going to give your sample a try first, take the 7 day challenge! Try the Jamberry Wraps on a couple fingers and paint the rest. How does your polish compare to the wraps on day 7?
Ready to get that sample on? Here's a short & sweet video to show you how easy applying a Jamberry nail wrap is...
Before watching, NOTE:
-You do not need a heater to apply, you can also use a blowdryer or flat iron or hot-pack! (But if you want the handy Jamberry mini-heaters they're available on the site).
-Before applying, you absolutely want to prep your nails first to remove oils so they'll stick well, by 1) wiping with alcohol or polish remover and 2) pushing your cuticles down and to the sides.
-And each strip is meant for two nails -- so you cut the strip in half, and the rounded side goes DOWN.
-Using the actual plastic baggie to overlap your nail before heating & smoothing (as seen in this video clip) is an optional step, but a lot of people like it. So you can experiment with that if you'd like.

-After you've thoroughly pushed down and smoothed it out, especially around the edges (with your nail pusher & finger), then you're going to wait until the wrap cools (like 20 seconds or so), and cut the excess off. You can cut it by 1) using a small scissors as close as possible, and then filing downward to get rid of the excess, or 2) my fave: just take a nail clippers and cut all the way down (or even some of your nail) for a smooth edge every time.
-Once you have the wrap trimmed, I recommend you use heat & pressure one more time. Taking the extra few seconds to really seal the edges and tips well will make a difference later!
This particular video is short, but it's great if you just need a quick demo & are good at reading the instructions too. :) To soak in the knowledge from more detailed video clips (& explore some slightly different methods on how to apply, including the official Jamberry video), scroll down to this post here.

Troubleshooting Issues | Making Your Jamberry Nail Wraps Smoother & Applying Them to Last Longer
If you are having some issues with your Jamberry Nail Wraps after a few days, we can help! Getting them on is pretty straightforward if you follow the directions, but if on day 2, 3, or 4 you sense they haven't adhered as well as you'd like, here are some troubleshooting tips:
If you have lifting on the side or tip:
-you can re-seal again with more heat & pressure
- use the nail pusher and push down hard all the way around - 2 rounds of heat & pressure
-consider prepping your nails differently: wipe better with alcohol, consider spraying with hairspray ahead of time, or paint first with a base coat
-next time, get a metal cuticle pusher and scrape "invisible" (thin) cuticles that you probably can't see, but may be causing the nails to not adhere
If you have fraying on the tip:
-you can clip the nail straight across & then re-seal (heat & pressure) to remove any frays
-you can consider filing your nail tip at a 45 degree angle, actually on top of your nail, to remove any overlay
If your nails are especially curvy:
-consider cutting the tiniest of slits in the outer sides before apply to help avoid wrinkles and bubbles. Check out this video for more on that.
If you're dealing with bubbles or wrinkles on the top:
-when you first apply, tug at the top of the wrap, outward and upward toward the left & the wrap, to stretch it more.
-consider using the "baggie method" (plastic bag over hand while heating and then pushing over to smooth out more evenly
-use your cuticle pusher to smooth them out
-when first applying, push up and down through the middle first, before spreading outward
If they won't stay on for more than a few days:
-make sure you prepped your nails well by wiping with alcohol or acetone
-use a nail buffer to give your nails a less-shiny texture before applying!
-try using a base coat of clear under your wraps to help them adhere better
-consider spraying with hairspray ahead of time (works well for some people)
-get a metal cuticle pusher, and scrape down near your cuticle area to remove "invisible" (very thin) cuticle layers that may be preventing them from adhering (you'd be surprised, this is often the case!)
-use same metal cuticle pusher to heat up the rounded end, and then press down around edges of the wrap (once on your nail) to seal it better than with just the rubber pusher alone
Other issues? Connect with me at stcollection@juno.com and we'll find a method that will be the perfect fit for your nails! You should absolutely be able to get 10 days to 2 weeks of wear out of them (although let's face it, even 7 days is longer than most nail polish lasts!).
It may take an application or two to tweak your process, but we promise, it gets easier and better over time!

Campaign to Feed 30 Kids Through Feed My Starving Children | Jamberry Parties with a Purpose
I need my life to have purpose. And while becoming a Jamberry rep is a positive way of helping support my family (which is an important purpose!) I like to mix and match elements of service into as much of my life as I can.
Which is why I'm so excited that this is my new "Online Jamberry Event" header:
With this being the best part:
My goal is to feed 30 kids for a whole month each through Feed My Starving Children (this fall & winter!). And while each donation alone might not seem overwhelming, I could never do this large of a goal on my own. So I am grateful for the opportunity to make a big difference with your help.
If you're interested in hosting a low-key Online Jamberry Boutique or an in-home Girls Night In (or Mama & Me event) be in touch! If that's not your thing, no worries -- I'll just encourage you to shop for your new set of Jamz at home in your pj's and make a donation to Feed My Starving Children as you feel led. :)
Here's to all of us making a bigger difference one little step at a time...
~Shannon
PS - My sister liked the idea so much she decided to join me. That's 60 kids we're aiming to make a huge difference for! It doesn't take much for a good idea to snowball, does it?
