PBA Beauty Week: Beacon, Get Together Party, Vegas Excitement
Wow! Cosmoprof/Beauty Week is AWESOME so far! Landed here in Vegas, after some drama (I left my wallet on the airplane.... dummy!), I got all situated and headed down to the pool area for lunch.

Living and Learning
In recent weeks I’ve been reminded of how important it is to keep on learning. One such reminder came while dining at the glorious reception celebrating the marriage of Shiri Sarfati (Repechage) and her new husband Lawrence. I had an opportunity to have a “keep on learning” conversation with Paul Dykstra. Paul is the executive director of America’s Beauty Show in Chicago. If you’ve visited the show, I’m certain you’ll agree he organizes a first-class event.
