If it’s Tuesday it must be over ... Beauty Week in Las Vegas at Cosmoprof/PBA/NCA, that is. Well
it is Tuesday, and I’m on a plane back home, along with legends Sam
Brocato and David Raccuglia, as well as a team of professional salon
distributors. Their presence reminds me that colleagues are one family,
relatives are another, and there is commonality in what you do for
both. Like being prepared for what they give and take, making time for
them, learning from them and appreciating them. Nothing brought this
home like Beauty Week, which underscored that much of connecting with
any family is about shared experiences.

Wow! Cosmoprof/Beauty Week is AWESOME so far!
Landed here in Vegas, after some drama (I left my wallet on the

area for lunch. Wow, the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino is such an
awesome place! Everywhere I turn, I bump into someone I know from the
industry... so cool!

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.
