The Focus on Trade 2008 event held this past weekend attracted well over 600 visitors. The home show consisted of a variety of different organizations, companies and home-based businesses. The convention centre at the Moose Jaw Exhibition Grounds was full of buyers and sellers from all over Saskatchewan. For example, one of the home-based businesses, BeautiControl, is out of Saskatoon. Its booth was about therapeutic bath minerals.

“Our bath minerals do not use the strong perfume scent that many people do not enjoy,” said Cheryl Morgans, one of the consultants for the business. “That is why we use natural aromas of dead sea salts which is very soothing.” Another out-of-town business, V.K. Imports from Regina, had international award-winning aromatherapy available to try and buy. “I really liked Everything Wood (scented) and the flowers are really nice too. As well, the Glass Suncatchers were very nice,” said Kathy Chapman, a visitor to the event. Many local businesses also had booths set up at the event. There were also several door prizes to be won and contests to enter. Also, a concession was up and running and a mini-doughnut stand was set up outside. “I really enjoy looking at all the displays,” said Chapman. “They are all really well done.” For Keith Curtis, he was just there for some fun. “I like to just talk and visit with people,” Curtis said. “Although, I am interested in most of the building and landscaping stuff,” he quickly added.

Linda LaFavor-Coyle’s world revolves around image, self-esteem and helping women feel good about themselves. She does this as a consultant, executive director and senior trainer with BeautiControl, a skin care, spa and image company. The Minneapolis, Minn., native, who says she is 50ish, has been a resident of South Lake Tahoe since 1985. She came to visit friends, and as so many people do, fell in love with Tahoe and moved here.

She was working as a clerk at the post office in 1988 when she saw an advertisement for BeautiControl in the Tahoe Daily Tribune. The company was looking for people to be beauty consultants in the area, and she became the first one at Tahoe. It was a perfect fit, since LaFavor-Coyle has a background as a make-up artist. She started attending cosmetology school while she was still in high school. Upon graduation at age 18, she received her cosmetology license and worked as a hair stylist in a neighborhood beauty salon for 10 years.

She went to Hollywood in 1979, where she attended the Joe Blasco Make-up School and was a make-up artist for TV and film for a few years. She then returned to Minneapolis and worked for Target as a make-up artist for the company’s TV commercials for several more years.

LaFavor-Coyle started her business at Tahoe by inviting friends to a party and teaching them about skin care, the importance of sunscreen and how to “do” their make-up in five minutes. She is now a manager and leads a team of 480 women all over the U.S. She travels to meetings and training sessions to motivate and support them and stays in touch via e-mail, telephone and personal contact. Her business has grown to include a mobile spa program, where she goes to clients’ homes and offices. She provides mini-spa treatments and teaches women to relax and pamper themselves.

Another facet of LaFavor-Coyle’s business is “Tahoe Weddings A Go Go,” where she provides in-room hair and make-up service for brides. She said this is the easiest, most fun thing she does – and it’s all girl time.

Her success with BeautiControl has earned her several trips. She was one of 100 consultants out of 150,000 in the company who earned a seven-day trip to Monte Carlo in 2006. And because of her company car allowance, she hasn’t made a car payment in 15 years.

She and her husband of 10 years, John Coyle, enjoy riding road bikes and competing in century road rides. They have two furry, feline “children,” Lucky and Smoky, who are 15 years old. LaFavor-Coyle is a member of Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe and Barton Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. She is also certified for the American Cancer Society “Look Good, Feel Good” program for women with cancer. She teaches them how to take care of their skin and hair, including tips on applying make-up and using wigs.

Here are LaFavor-Coyle’s answers to the Tribune’s questions:

1. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED WHEN YOU DIE?
“As a woman who helped other women build their self-esteem on the inside and out. I love to be their cheerleader and say ‘yes, you can do it.’”

2. WHAT IS SOUTH LAKE TAHOE’S MOST PRESSING ISSUE TODAY?
“I would say the housing market. When I see a for sale sign, I want to say, ‘Don’t leave Tahoe. Do whatever it takes to stay in this beautiful place.’”

3. IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ANY AMERICAN CITIZEN TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, WHO WOULD IT BE?
“My world revolves around supporting and encouraging women, so maybe it’s time for a woman president?”

4. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT?
“John and I just bought a fifth-wheel travel trailer and enjoy traveling with friends and meeting new people. I intend to ‘spa’ the RV parks. We enjoy being outdoors, riding bikes and wine tasting. We plan to travel in the RV when we retire.”

5. IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ONE THING TO DO OVER IN YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
“Oh, my gosh! I’m happy with my life. I feel like I’ve accomplished more than I ever dreamed I would, and there is nothing I would do over.”

6. WHAT LIVING PERSON DO YOU MOST ADMIRE?
“My youngest sister, Brenda Montgomery. She has a gift of bringing out the best in people with her fabulous management and life skills and making everyone feel special. She is my mentor.”

7. WHAT HISTORICAL FIGURE DO YOU MOST ADMIRE?
“I would say Mother Teresa. For her to be able to do something so important, especially as she advanced in age, is remarkable.”

8. IF YOU COULD SPEND AN HOUR WITH ANYONE IN THE WORLD, WHO WOULD IT BE?
“That’s easy, it would be Lance Armstrong. He could teach me everything he knows about road biking. I’d like to learn his discipline of how to just keep going on those hard hills.”

9. WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE: WIN AN INDIVIDUAL OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL OR A PULITZER PRIZE?
“I can’t choose, so how about both. To be able to push yourself athletically as far as you can to win a gold medal would be such an adrenaline rush. And I’d love to be so talented with words and be able to share that with the world that I would win a Pulitzer Prize.”

10. IF YOU COULD BE IN ANY PROFESSION OTHER THAN YOUR OWN, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
“Don’t laugh, but at one time I thought of being a police officer. I think I would be good at handling situations and helping get the bad guys off the street.”

After grieving the loss of her 5-year-old son, Olathe resident Deirdra Curry knew she wanted to help others in some way, so she started a business. She didn’t know that the business eventually would give her a new Ford Mustang. The car was an incentive from her parent company, BeautiControl, which provides a spa-like experience in the home or workplace.

Dallas-based BeautiControl is a women-run subsidiary of Tupperware Brands Corp. The company has more than 100,000 independent consultants. Curry recently received the car at Bob Allen Ford in Overland Park. All the reward cars BeautiControls presents are red Mustangs, much like cars Mary Kay Inc. beauty consultants earn are pink. Curry said she received the 15th such Mustang in the Kansas City area.

The company has given away more than 600 nationwide, she said. She said she got into the business to supplement the family’s income and to reach women feeling undue amounts of stress. She said she averaged two or three spas a week and has grown her business to where she has 100 women working with her.

“It has been a life-changing experience for me,” Curry said. “I feel empowered.” The loss of her son Cameron, who dies in 2001 after being struck by a car, motivated her to do something to relieve stress in other people’s lives. It’s important to dream big, Curry said, and to help others whenever possible. “That was part of my dream,” she said. “Where I could reach women and minister to them.”

For Curry’s family, which includes her husband Keenan Curry and six children from 6 to 19, the new car provided a different experience from the family’s 15-passenger van, affectionately bbed “Big Red.” After having seen the new car, quickly named “Little Red,” Curry recalled her daughter Christen, 8, saying, “Now, this is the life.” She said she’s glad to have had the experience with her company. “This is a company run by women for women,” she said. “It’s all about women helping others.”
