I was going to spare you...

Originally I was going to spare all of you the details of my internship, however I've gotten my fill of harrassment from my friends Becky, Denise and Janet the greek. Therefore if you're only here for my fun stories about fun greek adventures, feel free to skip this session.

For those of you brave souls who stuck around - here goes...

I'm interning for a company that produces a line of all natural skin/hair care products called KORRES (http://www.korres.com/). The company is young, innovative and probably the most well-known skin care company in Greece. Their products are produced from extracts of herbs, flowers and plants that grow within Greece. We started work a couple of weeks ago and had a couple days of product training (they have over 500 products so the training was intense!).

here is our first day at work in the conference room checking out some of their products.

We don't have offices so we work in "the pool". I'm not going to lie - the comfy seating makes it very hard not to fall asleep after lunch...

Next, we reported to the teeny tiny KORRES store at the Athens airport for 5 days to get a better idea of who are our customers and how the stores work. There are a total of 7 girls who work at the store and they are fantastic. Over the last week they've taught us a lot about KORRES, the hot spots in Athens/Greece and the Greek language.

The 3 of us + 4 of the korres girls = a tight fit in this tiny store.
