California Trip (San Fran & Wine Country )

I've gotten so many questions about our incredible California trip last week that I wanted to try and get a blog post up ASAP!  Y'all:  it was truly amazing.  Completely over the top! We were SO spoiled.  Not only was the trip super nice, but it was super organized.  The trip, transportation, events, planning, everything was so smooth and seamless.  No issues and I felt like a queen :) :) And,  I'm pretty sure my husband felt like a King ;)  My company, Rodan + Fields, treats its Consultants so incredibly well.  They reward and recognize you for simply just doing your job.  And my job is to wash my face and share the products and business with my friends.  I feel so blessed that my friend introduced me to this business and opportunity.  I am so happy that I said YES and jumped on board

( even though I had not a clue what I was doing. )  The beauty of this business is that R+F does all of the heavy lifting for you. The Doctors are amazing and that is why we are the #1 skincare company in the U.S.A!!  You don't have to be a skincare expert or a sales person. Now that I have a team and have seen first hand what this company has done for me and others, my passion is to help others build their dreams.  Do you want a plan B?  Are you looking for an extra stream of income for a vacation or college fund?  Do you have hopes of retiring early from corporate America to be your own boss?  Do you want to be a part of a supportive tribe of boss babes who will lift you up and cheer you on not only in this business, but in life?  Or maybe you just want one heck of a discount on the #1 skincare brand?  If any of the above sounds good to you, let's chat.  I will give it to you real, and answer all your questions.  If it's not a good fit, you won't hurt my feelings!  But if you are at all wondering....let's just have a conversation! 

Now on to our vacation pics:

We spent 2 nights in the city in San Fransisco at the Intercontinental Hotel and 2 nights in wine country in Napa at the Meritage Resort.

Welcome reception the 1st night in San Fran!

When we arrived to San Fran, we were taken downtown to the R+F Corporate Headquarters.  We had a tour of the home office, and then hung out in a lounge with breakfast, lunch, a champagne bar, bags of presents, and makeup artists. ( which we were all in need of after being up since 3 AM for early flights! )

So pampered!

We went to Cornerstone in Sonoma for a cooking class which was one of the highlights of our trip! 

Marcus has been so supportive of my side gig with R+F.  He now realizes that this is what will get to retire him early!  :) 

Every afternoon and evening we had gifts in our hotel room!

I loved my time in San Fran with this guy!

This was my 4th trip to San Fran but I had never rode a trolley before!  I told Marcus my trip would be complete once I rode a trolley!

We shopped in Chinatown and bought the girls their souvenirs here

We met up with my college roommate and bestie, Erin, and her husband during our free night in San Fran!

Cooking class and wine tasting

More gifts waiting for us when we arrived in Napa!

Dinner out in downtown Napa

Lunch in Yountville.  Love that darling little town

We spent our free afternoon at Chimney Rock in Napa. 

Chimney Rock is one of our favorite wineries.  However, this trip was extra special because Marcus totally surprised me.  He set up a private estate tour and barrel tasting.  We had never done that before and we had never been to their private tasting room.  It was unbelievably gorgeous and we had the BEST time. 

We learned that Chimney Rock is going all natural and is now going to be a Vegan winery!  YAY!! Best news ever! 

Nothing fresher than drinking straight from the barrel

I was totally blown away here!!  A full private tasting set up and I loved every minute of it!

Thank you for surprising me, Marcus!

Last night gala in Napa

Came home to a Tiffany's box on my pillow!

One of the best parts of this trip was sharing the experience with my friends Dawn and Sharron!  :) :)

Marcus and I had not had a vacation alone in over 2 years and so that was long over due!  I am so amazed by Rodan  + Fields and even more excited about my future with the company!  If you need help planning a San Fran or wine country trip, I am happy to help you out and hook you up!
