If I go down, at least I’ll have smooth skin!

monsters

So I’m headed back to New York, as I told you before, to meet with a group of beauty editors and introduce them to the bar.  It’s a LOT more desirable for all involved to do it this way because we get to talk in person, they get the product right away and they can ask me questions about the product on the spot.  It’s all I talk about anyway, so if it’s a beauty editor doing the listening, I’d say that’s a great thing.  I’m terribly excited to meet the poor people who have been on the receiving end of the steady barrage of emails I’ve been sending out over the last six months.  And they, no doubt, are excited to finally get me off their back.

Anyway, my plane leaves at the crack of dawn and I have to leave my family, which always makes me sad.  To top it off, I’m afraid of flying.  I’m the guy who is in your lap if there’s a strange noise.  So, tonight I said goodbye to each one and tucked them into bed with tears all over their little faces.  They weren’t crying, though….the tears were mine.  They were, however, very annoyed to have wet faces when they were trying to fall asleep.  I can understand that.  I’m going to miss them more than they could know…..wait, I can hear my mother right now: “For God’s sake, it’s only for three days!”  OK, so I’m a little dramatic.   

By the way, we recently hired Bollare PR from Los Angeles and they have put this all together for me.  Now I can put all my energy into customer service and blogging….lucky, lucky you!  ;-)   So send good vibes my way for a very successful product launch on Tuesday!  Here’s a few parting words for my little ones:

A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.
~Irish Blessing

 




It’s a big month at WonderbarUSA…..

cellarbar

Getting ready to head back up to New York for an editor’s day at the Bryant Park Hotel, where I will be launching the Wonderbar.  This is the picture of the bar, which is not where I will be conducting my meetings, but I did think it was beautiful, so I put it up.  I’m not saying I WON”T be in the bar, just not for the whole day.  But, again, I drifted from the point.  I will meet with editors from many different magazines (all of my favorites) and have the opportunity to tell them face to face what this product is all about.  I’ll have samples and giftbags on hand for each editor to take home and try out.  SO, hopefully lots more Wonderbar press in 2010!  (are you listening my bestie?)  Also, Wonderbar will be making a large splash in March when it is featured in a very exciting national publication- I can’t tell you which one, but will as soon as it hits the stands! 

While I have you, I wanted to quickly share a couple of interesting testimonials.  You never know what the Wonderbar is going to get rid of, so people tend to use it for all sorts of stuff!  One woman told me last week about a red, raised bump she had on her chest.  Several years ago, during a facial, the aesthetician tried to extract something she thought could be extracted.  Well, she was wrong and it got infected and, well, there has been a rough red bump on this woman’s chest ever since.  She has tried to get rid of it, but to no avail and it has bothered her a lot.  She didn’t want to wear v-neck tops because of it.  You probably know the rest of the story, but I’ll tell you anyway.  The Wonderbar has made it flat and barely visible.  It’s almost completely gone and now I have a very happy client.

The second little story is about a teenaged boy who had keratosis on his arms.  It’s really not great to have red bumps all over your arms that look like pimples when you are in high school.  Kids are mean and they say stuff.  Anyway, it has bothered this kid enough to go to dermatologists for help, where he was told, “no cure.”  He started using his mom’s Wonderbar and, as you might have guessed, the bumps are totally gone.  I believe he is on his second bar.  I love this story and I am thrilled that something was finally able to help him.

These are just a couple examples of MANY that make me wish I could tell everyone in the world about the Wonderbar.  I don’t feel like I need to push people to use it, though.  It sells itself.

pizza

I will be posting between now and New York, but will be getting ready for my trip and getting very excited!!  If you have a favorite pizza place in the city, please share it with me!!  Even though I have my “pizza finder” application ready to go on my iPhone, you never know- just want to be prepared!  If I can’t have my family with me, at least I’ll have great pizza!!   



No, I did not say WonderBRA, I said WonderBAR!

Wonderbra

What do I have to do around here to get some name recognition??  If one more person says to me, “So, what do you do for Wonderbra?”, I’m gonna freak out.  Or,  Oohhhh, I thought it said tiffany@wonderBRA.  I wonder if people walk up to the Wonderbra people and ask them what they do for Wonderbar!  Something tells me no, that doesn’t happen……..yet.    I’m working on it.  ;-)

The point of this is that it is very difficult to establish yourself in such a product brothel like the United States.  It’s like we are not happy unless we have 52 products on our counter at all times, that each have 10 steps.  That’s the bad news.  The good news (and I always have some) is that this is a new age, or era, of simplicity.  People want SIMPLICITY.  There is too much to do, too many activities, everything is SO over-scheduled.  It’s about time we had a simple product…..and one that actually works.  I was talking to this girl today who is a long-time client.  She said, “you know, I spent so much money on skincare products before the Wonderbar!  You cannot believe how I product-hopped and how I never completely ran out of any of them because they really didn’t work and, so, on to the next great thing!  Now I just have this one thing that is my cleanser, toner AND exfoliate and I stick with it religiously.  Everyone always tells me that I just look so clean and fresh.  I have finally settled on what works”.  I love hearing this, as you can imagine and I really think it’s true.

It IS so simple and it is SO surprisingly effective.  I still am amazed at all it can do and while I like to joke that, like the WonderBRA, it makes your breasts perky, it really doesn’t.  On second thought, knowing the Wonderbar, it probably does….

Wonderbar does New York!

Hearst Tower

Hearst Tower

Just got back from New York, where I got to have dinner with my brilliant niece who just turned 20 and stay with my close friend in her beautiful apartment on Park Avenue.  I also had the opportunity to pound the pavement in my new semi-wedge boots in 20 degree temps with no gloves- going from corporate office to corporate office giving Wonderbar samples to various skincare buyers for big retailers like Bergdorfs, Henri Bendel, Saks, Takashimaya, etc .  This is not an easy feat if you don’t know New York City- I felt like a tiny mouse in a freezing cold maze (while wearing high heels no less).  I met with two editors and had the best pizza in the world (is it the water?) :) I was feeling pretty cool until my phone battery died and I had to maneuver the CLEAR stairs at the Apple store!  Who installs CLEAR STAIRS!?!  I tripped of course, which brought my ego right back in check.  (No worries about me getting cocky, God seems to take care of it in short order whenever I’m headed that direction).

Anyway, my modest ego and I will get to the  point……LOTS of buzz and excitement out there about this product and many great things coming down the pike.  Expect to see a little more press and hope to see an exclusive retailer for our little bar.  Bottom line: a trip well worth the cost and a big leap forward in our efforts to tell the world about this incredible product!

My husband loves the Wonderbar and now I have to share.

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

As it turns out, now that I have finally found the beauty routine that I can stick with, I have to share it.   I suggested to my husband that he use the Wonderbar to minimize his pores……that worked really well.  Then he started shaving with it and now he doesn’t even get razor burn.  And his soft skin…who knew?

I’ll be giving one to every man I know for Christmas this year…..

Been using the Wonderbar for 7 months……

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

and I am finding that I don’t need moisturizer!  I sleep with the Wonderbar on my face and neck and chest.  I always put the Wonderbar on the backs of my arms too.  It gets rid of those little bumps we all get.

When I wake up, my skin feels like I slathered some rich moisturizer all over the night before.  I think if you use the Wonderbar very consistently and correctly, your skin adjusts and begins producing it’s own natural moisture.  That’s pretty great…..now I’m literally down to a one-step beauty routine.

The Wonderbar and Mineral powder or make-up…

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Not a good idea!  Any kind of mineral powder or make-up can clog your pores.  If you are using the Wonderbar and your skin has toxins beneath the surface that need to come out, do not put mineral products on top.  They will keep your pores clogged and the Wonderbar will try to bring them out and that equals infection!

The best way to use the Wonderbar is with a plain moisturizer and nothing else.  If you have a lot of toxins coming out in the form of pimples that you want to cover up, try using a tinted benzoyl peroxide instead of make-up.  The goal is to get to the place where you don’t need a lot of powder or make-up.  The Wonderbar will get you on your way!
