#BeGenerous Fundraiser and tune in for the Go Red For Women® Red Dress Collection fashion show!

Jamberry has several amazing company values and one of my favorite values is #BeGenerous. This business allows me to do that through fundraisers (about $5 per wrap donated back!) and product donations for events and raffles. I sponsor a fundraiser as a tribute for my mom, Helen, and her struggle with cardiovascular disease. 2012 was a trying year for us and the beginning of what would be her #heartjourney- if you want to learn more about that journey, it’s over on her FB page: https://www.facebook.com/HugsForHelen/. It was a very long year, she’s healthier than she was, but her life is definitely different. I am thankful that I can pick up the phone and call her when I want and she’s my hero. This is why I support American Heart Association and my full commission- 38%- will be donated to this fundraiser.

This is the second year that Jamberry has done a fabulous collaboration with our Commitment to Charity nail wrap line for the American Heart Association Last year, my awesome clients and friends raised $228, with a company-wide donation of $55,000. This year, let’s go for $1,000!!! More money raised means more research and prevention of heart disease, positively impacting women all around the country.

While we all love to give freely, it is nice when we can enjoy something in return, so this is a win/win for all of us! You get to enjoy a when you get a “need it all” collection, the AHA gets $47.40.

Tune in tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET for the Go Red For Women® Red Dress Collection fashion show from Skylight at Moynihan Station in NYC- it will be live streamed here. Watch celebrities take to the runway in red gowns, jewels, and our very own ‘From the Heart’ or ‘Love is Why’ nail wraps!!!

Women all across the country will be able to “get the look” by purchasing identical nail wraps and, better yet, donate to this noble cause by doing so. For every sheet of ‘From the Heart’ or ‘Love is Why’ nail wraps sold between January 1 and March 31, 2016, Jamberry will donate $2.00 to the American Heart Association in support of the Go Red For Women® movement, with a minimum donation of $75,000. Join the online fundraiser here.

Keeping the FUN in Fundraisers with Jamberry!

Five days into my diet and I was suckered into buying cookies! You know… “those” cookies…. For a mere $5 a box- an annual fundraiser for young girls wearing the green uniform… I bought two and told her to donate them to the troops because I can’t eat just one cookie…. One box in a sitting is more like it! I love me some coconut chocolate ones…. They were only $3 a box when I sold them. Inflation and shock! Not sticker shock…  but to find out that my co-workers daughter will only get .90c per box for her troop! What??? That’s crazy cray! My mantra in life now is to work smarter not harder- and here’s how Jamberry Nails and I can help that same girl earn $3.75 per sheet of wraps! A $1000 fundraiser can earn a minimum of $250!

Sign up to hold a fundraiser with me and I’ll set up the event page on social media, a  vanity link for orders and help you with all that you need to earn more than 25% in profit for your favorite charity,  non-profit, or worthy cause! Jamberry will cut a check to you for 10%- I kick in the other 15% plus booking bonuses and even sales bonuses for your participants to help with some friendly completion!

We can do whatever works best for you and your organization. Earn funds for your favorite animal rescue group, softball team, cheer or dance squad, children’s charity--- who can’t use some extra money these days!

The best part is that there aren’t any deliveries, no money collected by you, and it’s EASY. You can use one or all of the elements below to hold your FUNdraiser.

Online—share my website link with your fundraiser and your “guests” can place their orders securely online to ship directly to them. NO deliveries for you, no wrapping paper or cookie dough for them. ( :

Facebook- want to add a fun element to it? Set up an event or group on Facebook for your participants to interact with moi and learn all about the fabulousness that is Jamberry! Show and tell! All orders are taken by me on my website or directly with your supporters.

Live- Want to do a fun, huge event and see Jamberry in action? Schedule your date and invite your peeps- I’ll show off Jamberry to them, they fall in love, purchase and order. Again, it ships direct and we just send you the proceeds when the fundraiser closes.

Raffle Off Host Rewards- you could also raffle off the basket of hostess rewards from a ‘standard’ party to earn more money for your group and keep all of the proceeds from that. This is a good option for groups that aren’t a formal organizations

Friendly Competition- perfect for your cheer squad or sports team! I provide prizes for your top sellers (gift cards to popular stores, Jamberry swag and more!) plus every one that collects at least $50 in orders, gets a free treat from me!

Custom Nail Wraps: Create a signature wrap just for your event, group, team! Your imagination is your only limit (and copywright laws! LOL) Our Nail Art Studio allows you to design your very own wraps! Super cool. These are premium wraps and sell for $18.75/ sheet *Buy 3, Get 1 Free promo not valid on premium wraps.

Booking Bonus: when people book a party, fundraiser or demo off of your event and hold it within 45 days of closing your fundraiser, you'll earn $10 per qualified booking!

What’s the catch, you ask?  Fundraisers need to reach $150 in sales to close and Jamberry will only write a check to organizations with a bank account- no individuals. My portion is donated from my commission so can be sent to anyone.

It really is easy-peasy and profitable for your favorite charity- let’s talk and get it scheduled today. Contact me for more information HERE.

Giving Thanks

When I stumbled onto Jamberry 3-1/2 years ago, the decision to join was more to save money because I wanted so many designs.... not because I even remotely thought that it would become something bigger than 'collecting' (you JamFanz can relate) the super cute wraps. I never imagined that my life would be seen through plum-colored lenses and #blessed because of the relationships and experiences it has afforded my family.

I joined about 30 seconds after my sponsor, a long-time dear friend whom I also did another direct sales business with for seven years. Since the company was so young, we just figured out a lot of stuff based upon what we knew prior. The company has grown up so well since those days! She has my back for all things Jamberry and otherwise.  ( :  Our friend Amy was one of the first Jamberry consultants in California- she is also such a blessing. 

This is a party biz, and I love to do parties.... my hostesses have become dear friends, Most I would not have met if not for Jamberry and I so love it! Many of those hostesses have joined our team and the opportunity to get to know them has been so wonderful. Ladies from all around the country and we share the love of cute nails and supporting each other.

My team inspires me and makes me so proud and helps me to become a better person and leader. Each and every one of you ladies holds a special place in my heart and I thank you for being you! It makes me teary every time one of them tells me about something important that Jamberry has given them--- enough money to repair a broken fridge, gas money to escape the devastating fires in California, the unexpected medical bill. How awesome is it that these little "nail stickers" can take the stress away? Or make a breast cancer survivor smile? That's powerful! That's why I do Jamberry!!!

And memories? Caravanning to Utah for the 2nd annual National Conference was super fun, yet I will never make that drive again- it was so long..... but filled with laughs with aforementioned Amy. The 3rd conference... squishing four ladies' worth of  luggage into a compact car- my JamBFF Jennifer is a master packer.... she's also one of the funniest and talented ladies that I know.... all because of Jamberry! And my IRL friends that joined the team, it just allowed me to spend more time with them.  There's so many more.... so many, but I have some food to cook..... ( :

I am so thankful for Jamberry, and for my team, my clients and the unlimited potential and dreams that have yet to be unlocked. Thank you for allowing me to do what I do! Happy Thanksgiving.

Introducing the New TruShine Gel System- Oh My Jam!!!!

If you are anything like me, you're up at the crack of dawn making lunches, coaxing sleepy little ones out of bed for school, herding them out the door in time for the late bell all while you are still haven’t showered…. let alone put on some lipstick. Then it's time to run errands and get things done before early dismissal… volunteering, dinner, sports, scouts…. and work  somewhere in there.... you name it- you do it! You love it, but secretly wish that your day included a little 'me-time' including a coffee break and a trip to the salon for a mani/pedi. And if you do have the time, you certainly don’t want to spend $60 plus tip at a salon when soccer uniforms and shoes need to be purchased. 

Not to mention when your nail chips, you’re not a happy camper. I get it and I can relate. When was the last time you had a mani and looked down at your hands and LOVED it? It’s been too long, sister! I have the solution for you in one awesome little box, shipped right to your door that you can do while watching DWTS (or OITNB, Scandal….. or Wonder Pets- I won’t judge!) that doesn’t require an appointment at the salon and is about $3.50 per application!

Ladies, you have to try out the TruShine Gel System- it’s the latest salon-quality product from Jamberry Nails. Gel nails, like our fabulous wraps, will withstand your busy day- dishes, laundry and all. What makes TruShine, shine? The best feature- after saving money, of course- is that all of the related formulas are 5-free, meaning they are without DBP, Formaldehyde, Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin, and Camphor.  This product also is cured with an LED lamp so you don’t have to worry about exposing your hands to excessive UV exposure. While we offer 14 gorgeous gel enamel colors, the system can be used with any of the other 52 shades of 5-free lacquer, or Jamberry’s signature nail wraps to create a style that is truly yours. To remove, simply soak them off with the included remover packets (no harsh filing required!). Your mani will last approximately two weeks. This system will save you time and money- how awesome!

Curious about how easy peasy it really is? Check out the application video here and then let’s schedule a fun Gel Mani night in with a few of your favorite gal pals- live or on-line! Let's take the 'me-time' to the next level!!!!

Peace, Love and Jams,

Carol

Budget Friendly Pedicure- Get the Most Out of Your Wraps

I love to save money but this girl loves her salon pedicures (well, I love to get my feetsies rubbed!) Smiley face--- RIGHT? So while Jamberry is a great option to "save" from a salon pedi, the 30 minutes that I spend in a pedicure chair pouring over a gossip mag learning about which Hollywood starlet was visited by aliens is pure bliss and mine, all mine!! And then I go home and finish out my pedicure with some fun Jamberry Nails.

 Yep! I actually do both- one is for pampering and the other is because they don't chip, smudge and last until my next pedi sesh- AWESOME!!!! Want to hear something even better? You could get NINE FULL PEDICURES out of one sheet of wraps. A $15 sheet........ 9 pedicures....... that's a bargain! (Remember, they'll last up to six weeks on your toes meaning you could get a whole YEAR out of one sheet!) I dare you to be able to stick with just one of our gorgeous designs though----- really, I double dog dare ya!

So here you go........ imagine that each color is one pedicure...... trim your wraps as shown- remember that two of your pedis will have just the little toes with wraps and your big toes either painted a fun color or use a corresponding wrap--- it's so fun to show off your style with a great combo! Enjoy!  

Love, caffeine and JAMS,
Carol

Makin' Room for New Designs!!!

All things must eventually come to an end.... and for Jamberry that means retiring designs with each catalog change.  That time is upon us and I am sad to see some of these designs retire to the vault. However, that means that there is a new catalog just around the corner- September 1st to be exact!!!!!!!! (And it's a goodie, ladies! Like the BEST EVER.) I know I say that each change over- and this is my sixth one- but OH. MAH. JAM- but that will have to wait until September 1st. (HOST A PARTY this month- a fun girls night in local or a FUN online JAM and get one T O D A Y!!!) 

So, about those retiring designs..... there are some that are just retiring in the FINISH alone but the design will still be around- for example, the Upper East Side wrap is only retiring the "GLOSSY" version. You will still find a different finish after 9/1/15.

Jamberry Nails Discontinued Finishes (8/31/15)

Designs being completely phased out include the popular Uno Mo Mo, Punchy Puff and Faded Deco to name a few. If you are even remotely considering adding any of the designs to your collection, do it now as after 8/31, they'll become a coveted "UNICORN" and it may take an act of congress to locate one for you. But, hey, that's what I do to keep my JAM Fans happy. Smiley, winky face emoticon..... ( :

The customer special of Buy 3, Get 1 free is available with the retiring designs. I will also offer FREE shipping on ANY order with at least one RETIRING WRAP - you will need to contact me directly to place your order. This special is good through the end of August.

What is your favorite GOING, GOING, GONE wrap? Let me know and I'll send you some free accent nails!  ( :  Thanks for reading- I'm so glad you're here.  

Caffeine, Love and JAMS,

XOXO  Carol

It's a Throwback Kind of Day!

#ThrowbackThursday Wraps available until 8/10/15.

I’ve been around Jam-land since “back in tha’ day”… there were just a mere 200ish designs available; we put them on with a blow-dryer (in fact, a cute hot pink tiger stripe one came in my kit) and they were on a different formula- one that the “Unicorn Hunters” refer to as “classic on white.”  The wraps (called shields back then) were a manufactured on a thicker material with a different adhesive formula. They also came on a larger white backing with a cursive Jamberry Nails logo.  I’m so impressed with the great changes- longer lasting and ease of application. My only regret is that I didn’t hoard some of the awesome designs of yesteryear- how would I know that they would be so coveted? Honestly, hundreds of fabulous designs come out each season so it's hard to know if you will miss a design.  And now today! It’s like they read my mind in bringing back two of my most favoritest ever—Vibrant Pinwheeland Fuschia Houndstooth. Vibrant Pinwheel was one of the original 40 designs that the Sisters took to their inaugural tradeshow. It’s lovely and I barely have a few scraps left…… so you can imagine that this girl is suuuuuuuuuper excited for this #JamberryTBT!  While the design was brought out of the vault, these are brand new, freshly minted wraps available for $15 each and can be purchased as part of the Buy 3, Get 1 Free guest special and redeemed with hostess rewards for FREE. ( :  The only catch..... you know there was going to be one.... is that they are only available for purchase through 11p, PST on August 10^th so if you have to have them, you can get them here,  or contact me direct so that I can provide you service with a smile.
