    About the guest – Jeanette Deatherage I’m a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, USAF Veteran and friend. I love my God, husband, daughters, grandson, family, and pets, along with the dear friends, co-workers and clients who may as well be family! I simply adore my daughters and grandsons. I guess that’s part of the reason why I always treat people with such love, kindness, and compassion. I love, I care, I hope, I pray, and yes, sometimes I even cry! Yet, at the same time, I’m a strong, hard-working, and determined team leader, coach, and mentor. I get up each morning, ready to take on the world. I have a passion for being responsible, building enduring relationships, providing great customer service, and meeting deadlines. I treat my co-workers and clients with dignity and respect and help bring out the best in them at every opportunity. The people who rely on me expect it, and, frankly, I expect it from myself! Before I leave for work each morning, I want to put my best face forward, to face every day looking and feeling my best. It’s so nice that Mary Kay is always there to help me to do that. That one last look in the mirror, and the smile I see, tells me all I need to know! That’s why I’m a Mary Kay representative and have used their products long before I ever decided to work for this world-class organization. Yes, you can say that I’m a Mary Kay girl, and my customers are exactly like me! I invite you to join me; let’s face the day together!
