You are not going to believe what happened to me!

I had the most incredible thing happen to me today! As many of you know I love and only wear Bare Escentuals/Bare Minerals makeup. My mom turned me on to it about 4 years ago. Well, once I tried it I fell instantly in love with it because it is all natural and you don't feel like you have anything on - which is a plus when you are oily in the t-zone. Anways, I read and posted on a message board for bare minerals on the delphiforums.com. It's called Bare Escentual Addicts. The President and CEO of the company wanted to thank her customers so she gave away a few things that were very own and posted those items on the message board through the moderator. I ended up signing up to win the items. I then forgot all about it. Well, Monday night I had a dream that Lisa and I went to a conference and Leslie was one of the speakers. As I was walking toward the room - Leslie was walking down these stairs - she said hi and we started chatting- as we entered the room she asked me if I wanted to join her at her table - that is when I woke up and the dream was over. I woke up and was disappointed it was a dream. Yesterday at lunch I was telling Lisa about the dream - we started laughing about how silly it was. Later that afternoon I was checking my email and I received an email from one of the moderator's of the message boards - she was happy to let me know that I won Leslie's collectable blown glass perfume bottle. I couldn't believe it. She and her husband have a collection of these perfume bottles. She had this particular one in her guest bath. She was so thankful for all the faithful BE customers that she wanted to give some things away that meant a lot to her. The moderator, Terry, asked me to email her my address and phone number - which I did. Well, today I decided to stay home and keep going on my "Deep Cleaning". As I was in the middle of cleaning my phone rang - I said, "Hello" - the person said, "Emily? This is Leslie Blodgett!" I couldn't believe the President and CEO of Bare Escentuals was calling me. We had a great conversation. She was so kind and nice and she took the time to hear me out so I could share a few things on how Bare Escentuals changed my view of makeup. I also told her about the dream and a few other things. I then told her that I had emailed her last summer to let her know how much I love her products. Also, I told her I had shared in the letter that QVC had not produced one of the Bare Escentual Kits I had ordered. She asked me which one - and then she said - let me see what I can do. I told her the perfume bottle makes up for any mistakes on my QVC order. She said let me see what I can do. We chatted a few more minutes and then finished the call. Well, about 20 minutes later I was on the phone with Lisa telling her about the call when I got another call - I looked at the number and said - oh my gosh - she is calling me back. I took the call and she said - Emily - this is Leslie - guess what - I found the kit you need. I will send it with the perfume bottle. I couldn't believe it - how cool. I told her thank you so much for everything and thanks for the kit. Below you will see a picture of Leslie and her perfume bottle that I won. She is coming out with a new kit on November 11th. She will be presenting it on QVC at midnight on the 11th. These kits are GREAT and they are a GREAT VALUE. If you go to delphiforums.com and go to the Bare Escentuals Addict Board - you will see that she is still giving away a few items. Also, if her kit on the 11th sells out on QVC - she is going to give away 3 $500.00 checks to the ones that sign up on the message board. If it doesn't sell out - she will still give 1 $500.00 check away. So, don't forget to check out the message board and QVC on the 11th. I am still shocked that I won - what a fun 24 hours. Here is a picture of the bottle that she took from her office at BE Headquarters in San Francisco.
