My day job is a web designer for Nu Skin. I have been working there for 10 years as of July 11th. It is surreal to think that it has already been 10 years! I was 27 at the time – and now I am so old! However, I still have somewhat of a youthful look since I use Nu Skin products daily. I haven’t bought a bottle of shampoo in those ten years. As a benefit to employees we get a certain allotment of points to use on products from the company. I know it works as long as I look younger than my brothers (I am the oldest of 7 kids – 5 of them are boys).
As recognition of 10 years of work Nu Skin gives employees a pin – as you see below. We also get a very generous bonus! Woo hoo! It really is a great company to work for with great benefits, bonuses and products. And I like/tolerate my co-workers 
10 Year Pin from Nu Skin
With my bonus I will be buying a macro lens for my Canon 5D Mark II. The Nu Skin pin above was photographed with my 50mm f/1.2 lens – and it is cropped because that is as close as I can get with my Canon lenses. To get any closer will require a macro lens. So hooray! I will be purchasing the Canon 100mm f/2.8 IS lens. I have rented that lens before and it works great. And this way, I won’t always have to carry my Nikon camera and lenses just to shoot macro.
Here is the original photograph below – you can definitely see why I need a macro. Mmmmmmm, macro!
