Kim Cavarretta of Wildwood didn’t need a Prince Charming to get her latest new “Cinderella Gift.”
She’s in the pink thanks to Mary Kay Cosmetics.
On Dec. 16 at the ELCO Chevrolet-Cadillac auto dealership in Ballwin, Cavarretta, 48, received a leased pink 2011 Cadillac SRX in recognition for having achieved Mary Kay’s “Cadillac Level” sales award.
It’s her fifteenth career car, but her thirteenth Cadillac since she started as a salesperson with the Mary Kay company in 1982.
Caverretta began working for Mary Kay after dropping out of nursing school at age 19 to put her husband, Phillip, through college. She was working two full-time jobs, one in nursing and one as an office manager for two doctors, she said.
“One of my patients at a hospital where I was working told me I made her stay more like one in a hotel because of all my pampering, like bringing snacks and backrubs,” Cavarretta said. “She was with Mary Kay and said she wanted to pamper me. That hit home, because I was exhausted.”
