Emily Schuette posted a thread asking directors for their best Seminar Hacks. She suggested wearing your heels around the house with fuzzy socks to get your feet ready! Also, be sure to put earring backs on the back of all your pins when putting them on your jacket.

Carrie McHargue brings her husband! He carries her purse and takes pictures.

Taylor McKnight, future nsd (LOL) and still-not-million dollar Director, coordinates with her unit on what products to pack. They’ll share products once they get there. I’d be worried about cross contamination by sharing makeup, deodorant, and who knows what else – but I’ve never been to an Empowered Leaders retreat.

Cynda Worrell brings an extension cord. With four (or more) consultants in a room – there’s never enough outlets. Casey Evans brings a ziploc bag with dawn soaked sponges so she can clean her coffee mug daily.

Celeste Bell brings her own makeup mirror. MaraJosette King swears by earplugs.

Casey Evans also wears the jewelry she offers to her unit as prizes. She will sell the sizzle. Alex Barker brings empty boxes. She will ship things home instead of paying for an extra checked bag.

Robin Marshall packs all her formal gowns in a vacuum bag! Jessye Nichols loves this idea, but wonders how that will work when it’s time to pack them up to go home. Robin Marshall uses her tushie to squeeze all the air out! In fact, she does this at home too! She gets her bags at Dollar Tree.

Amber Hoban has groceries delivered. She also has room if you’re in the Emerald Seminar!

Bridget Penberthy brings cereal. She’ll grab milk and a spoon from Starbucks on her way to that day’s session. Um. Bridget – are you paying for that milk??????

Maureen Frasure writes her schedule on a piece of paper. If she looks at a schedule on her phone, she could miss picture taking time with friends.

Allison Gibbs drives to seminar – but will park at the aiport. The Lyft to and from the hotel along with the lot fee is still cheaper than paying parking charges at the hotel.

Amy McCann brings a cooler – because there is never enough room in the hotel fridge. She’ll pack all her outfits together.

All of these hacks are great and inspirational to anyone in or out of Mary Kay. My favorite is from Bridget Penberthy. What a way to advertise that you run a successful thriving business than by sharing you steal milk from Starbucks!

What travel hacks do you have Pink Truth fans?
