Partying it up, Nu Skin style.

I have been looking forward to Nu Skin's Christmas party for about a month, and it did not disappoint.

So I got dressed up, actually did my hair (attempted!)...
My friend Nathan and I took our dates to Smash Burger and then headed off to the party. They served some refreshments (aka dessert for us!) while everyone arrived.


The entertainment for the night: Kurt Bestor. He put on a really good show with his piano skills and trying to impress us with his synthesizer. I really loved his rendition of "Il est né le divin enfant," a French Christmas song. He played some fun songs and his fellow musicians were equally impressive (including Michael Dowdle on guitar).

Next up: Prizes. They had a lot of them. Basically they just put all of our names into one of those little turn-y things, and pulled out random names to come up and get prizes like IPads, a laptop, flat screen TVs, watches, a telescope, a KitchenAid mixer, a powerwasher, a vacuum, etc, etc. If you didn't want your prize, you could pick out of one of their pockets. If you picked a pocket, they basically just pulled out a wad of $100s and had you count it out. This one girl won $1000. She seemed pretty calm. I would've been freaking out.
Here's my friend Nathan (far left) showing off his French with the founders . . .
and winning his $600. Brat.

Finally: GIFTS.
Boy does Nu Skin know how to give a gift.
Each of these four just started "giving out" gifts to all of the employees.
First off, $100 Costco gift card. Woot!
#2- Two weeks extra pay
#3- this fancy body cream that they don't even sell
#4- a leather backpack
#5- $250 American Express card
and number 6 . . .
A Kindle Fire!
Yeah. Pretty. Dang. Cool.
So fancy. I'm excited to start using it.

Have I said how much I love my job?
Thanks Nu Skin!!

Merry Christmas :D

Merry freakin' Christmas to YOU!!! I was hoping you'd write about this, I've been dying to know. You looked so great (seriously, Love the hair, the dress, makeup, etc.) and I'm glad you got spoiled. Just for the record, I love your job too! (And I'm really hoping you have my name for Christmas...if not, feel free to add it. :)Yay for Nuskin. But why didn't you get a chance to win the $600?

Your hair is so long! I officially hate you. Seriously being a teacher has no perks. I am quiting and getting a job with you. Okay?
