The Perks of Being a Brand Ambassador



Do you currently represent any brands or are you looking to establish a relationship with one? As a blogger, there are now lots of opportunities to partner with big brands who totally get how influential social sharing has become. For years bloggers would make product recommendations to their audiences just because they wanted others to know how much they loved a particular item, whether it was clothing, interior decor, beauty products, etc. Nowadays, brands realize the value of connecting with both bloggers and social media savvy individuals who have significant reach. Just by sharing their user experience, their organic influence can quickly generate genuine interest and increased sales for a product or business.

Since last July I have been partnering with Rodan + Fields, a brand available via e-commerce only that has recently been named the #1 selling premium anti-aging skincare brand in the US. Why did I choose to represent this brand? You know how sometimes you hear about an opportunity and you get goosebumps because you know it’s going to be something big? Well that’s what happened to me when I was approached by a friend who represents Rodan + Fields last summer. She came to me because she knew that my blogging background and work experience as a social media marketer would make me a perfect fit to share this premium product with an audience that values only the best. I tried the products, I loved them, and I knew I wanted to share them with others. 

Rodan + Fields was actually just featured on FORBES this week as “one of the most well respected skincare companies in the world.” You can read the full article here.

these award-winning products



After watching my business with Rodan + Fields grow each and every month as a result of happy customers who are loving the products and their improved complexions, I am so glad I said yes when this opportunity presented itself to me! I have also started to train others who expressed interest in being a part of this highly respected company that knows how to support and reward the people who share the benefits of its products. I am equally excited to watch their businesses grow and their lives change as a result!

Above is a photo of the team leader, Jen Drolette, that I met when I first was introduced to R+F. One year ago this week she had 13 people on her direct team. Today that number is well over 200 and she has just earned her signature pearl white Lexus from the two doctors who decided that Rodan + Fields didn’t belong on the shelves of department stores, but in the hands of Independent Consultants who could share the product benefits via word of mouth referrals using the wide reach of social networking sites to do so. How amazing is it to earn such a reward in under two years of working just part-time sharing products that she loves with others? I can tell you honestly that Jen truly didn’t even see this happening for herself, but the product results, the amazing before + afters, are what keeps customers coming back for more. Jen also has some pretty incredible power partners on her team. Many of whom have been able to make some pretty amazing changes in their lives now that their income from representing this brand is beginning to surpass the money they had been earning at their professional careers. Along with achieving this type of individual success, made possible by being a part of an amazingly supportive team, here are just some of the perks that Rodan + Fields offers to those who represent their brand as an Independent Consultant.




Who exactly is behind the incredible success of the Rodan + Fields brand? Just two of the top entrepreneurs on FORBES list of Top 50 “Successful, Self-Made Women in the US!” Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields are the Stanford-trained dermatologists who brought Proactiv to market, and they invite you to discover the difference great skincare – along with a forward thinking business model – can make in your life and the lives of others.



Now that my business with Rodan + Fields is starting to take off, I am looking for some social media savvy partners to join me on this indescribably rewarding journey of self growth on the road to financial freedom. Are you looking for something new to add to your mix of income producing efforts? I would love to talk with you if your answer is yes! Email me at yblacker@verizon.net to set up a time to chat! And if for now you are simply curious why everyone is falling in love with Rodan + Fields skincare, below are some of my top product recommendations (along with one from supermodel Veronica Webb who also chose to represent Rodan + Fields). Order before the end of April and you will receive special savings and a free gift just for giving R+F a try. You will be so glad you did!







Here are some of my favorite R+F products ...





Multi-Function Eye Cream with Eye Cloths

One of the most popular combinations in the Rodan + Fields arsenal of age-defying products is the Redefine Multi-Function Eye Cream paired with Redefine Eye Cloths. These two together pack a powerful anti-aging punch right where most of us notice the signs of aging first. Our customers love the Eye Cream so much that it has been known to sell out (can you say stock up??) One jar of the Eye Cream lasts about 4 months and the benefits are noticeable right away. The Eye Cloths are great for quickly removing light make-up while depositing hard working peptides to combat fine lines, wrinkles, and under eye puffiness. A win-win combo for sure!







This “pot of gold” as it is called, works wonders on exfoliating the skin by removing dead skin cells and improving cell turnover, skin tone and texture. Gentle enough for the face, it can also be used to smooth away rough spots on elbows, the backs of arms, and to get your feet sandal ready. One full size jar could last from the beginning of spring through the very end summer. Apply the Daily Body Moisturizer after use and you will love your super smooth results!


Mineral Peptides Powder with Retractable Brush


The only “make-up” item in our collection, is Mineral Peptides Powder (SPF 20) with Retractable Brush. This powder works great as an alternative to heavy foundation and is perfect for the upcoming summer months to add a layer of SPF to your daily skincare routine while reducing shine and evening out skin tone. Most of our customers ditch their foundation completely and switch to this product exclusively after R+F has worked its wonders on their skin. Just another reason why we love Rodan + Fields!





Night Renewing Serum + Lip Renewing Serum


A time-released Retinol formula in a single use capsule that visibly improves skin texture and firmness.

A peptide and antioxidant-rich capsule that helps lips retain natural moisturizing factors, smooths lip texture and reduces the appearance of lip wrinkles.






A Fashion Worthy Favorite

Our Essentials Foaming Sunless Tan will give you a sun-kissed glow regardless of the season. It retails for $24+ tax or just $21+ tax as a Preferred Customer.





Take my Solution Tool quiz to decide
which daily regimen is best for you.






New Customer Special!

Place your first Rodan + Fields order of $80 or more with me from now through the end of April and you will receive your choice of one of the following:

Essentials Body Sunscreen with SPF 30 (this sunscreen smells AMAZING and not like sunscreen at all!), Essentials Foaming Sunless Tan (for a sun-kissed glow without the exposure), or Essentials Daily Body Moisturizer (a rich moisturizer with a light scent that works for both women and men – one of my favorites!) Retail price for these products is $24 each.

Plus get FREE Preferred Customer status (a one-time enrollment fee of $19.95 to qualify for FREE shipping and 10% off the retail price for your first and future orders).

Just let me know which product you would like to receive for free and it will be sent to you after placing your order, along with reimbursement for the $19.95 PC enrollment fee. Email your selection and mailing address to yblacker@verizon.net.

I would love to be able to share this opportunity with some social media rockstars who enjoy recommending truly great products – that deliver real results – that their devoted followers will love!

Please vote for Design Vignettes!




Design Vignettes has been nominated for the second year in a row for Best Blogger Interior Design! My blog is up against a number of design blogs that have also been nominated (13 total in the Interior Design category) so every vote counts. If you enjoy this blog on a regular basis, I would truly appreciate your vote of support! 

Even more so, I would like to know why you follow this blog. Do you like the before and after makeovers, the sharing of design trends, local design event coverage, or other art related content? Is there a topic you would like to learn more about? Are you interested in reading more personal posts that are not design specific? Or do you rarely read blogs anymore and prefer a stream of Instagram images?

Since starting this blog in 2009, my life has certainly had a lot of significant changes ... from being a stay-at-home-mom of 4 who needed a creative outlet, to becoming a design show participant (on 8 different occasions), to creating a years worth of issues of a digital design magazine, to guest blogging for dozens of brands, to being invited to several design blogging events across the country, to working full-time for 3 different companies over the last 5 years.

I know that the opportunities that have presented themselves have without a doubt been influenced by the simple act of writing this blog, which helped to define my creative path. And how fun has it been to connect with and meet other design bloggers on the same journey!

And while my blog posts have certainly decreased as my work life has become more structured – and as my growing boys lives have required a new type of attention – I still feel compelled to post every now and then for whatever reason. To those of you who continue to come back to check in, thank you! And my sincerest gratitude to any of you new visitors who stopped by today and read to the end : )

Designer Faucets + NY Fashion Week




I am packing my bags! Well, technically not till February 6th when I head to New York to meet Jason Wu for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week! The brilliant marketing team behind the fashion-driven Brizo brand plans these amazing blogger events that take place in New York during fashion week and I have been invited to attend! Not only will I get to meet the people behind the Brizo brand –  including fashion designer Jason Wu who has designed a stunning bath collection for Brizo – I will also get to spend my few days in New York with a small group of fellow design bloggers. We will get to learn more about the Brizo brand, attend special events including a cocktail party with Jason Wu, and get complimentary seats to watch his runway show featuring his fall collection for 2013!! What an incredible opportunity! I am beyond exited!




Design impacts every aspect of our lives. Jason Wu

If you have been following my posts on the Designer Bath blog, you have probably learned a little bit about this uniquely-stylish line of bath and kitchen fixtures. I actually asked that Brizo be brought into the showroom when I first started there as Marketing Director last year. After hearing so many interior designers sharing their love for this brand on both twitter and on their blogs, I knew it should be made available in our showroom. I was very happy to hear when we officially brought the line on, and it has done very well. Our customers love it! 

Brizo collections are both artistic and elegant, while offering the innovation of SmartTouch Plus Technology. The designs really stand out with their fluid lines that mimic shapes found in nature. Below is one of their images that I chose to display in our showroom windows ...

“Brizo is unique from a brand perspective because it’s pretty much designer-driven. We view the things we do as functional sculpture or jewelry for the home.
– Judd Lord, director of Functional Design, Brizo


I am truly looking forward to this exciting business-meets-pleasure brand-sponsored trip AND finding out who will be sharing the experience!

Let me know if I will see you in New York!
