We just learned that the first person, Shirley Jackson, to become an Independent Distributor of Iva’s International Skin Care and Cosmetic Company recently passed and her Home Going Celebration is tomorrow, October 10, 2020 in Ashdown, Arkansas. The “Shirley Silk Oil” is named after Shirley and still an exquisite oil that our customers and distributors enjoy.

Shirley, seen in the red hat of the picture below, came to Stockton, California for the grand opening of Iva’s international on February 22, 1985. After thirty-five (35) years of Iva’s International existence, we cannot think of a time that our hearts have been so saddened. We are grateful for Shirley’s services in helping to launch Iva’s International Skin Care Corporation, aka; Iva’s International Skin Care and Cosmetic Company.

In the early 90's, I had the distinct privilege to meet the former governor of the U. S. Virgin Islands. If I recall correctly, his name was governor Farrelly. I will correct the spelling once I check with our distributors in the Virgin Islands if I did not do justice to the spelling of his name. It's been a long time since this picture was taken.

During my spare time and for pleasure, I play my saxophone. I study diligently and daily to perfect my skills. I do this at my age because I love music, I like to learn new things, and I like challenges. "Never give in to age" is my motto for senior citizens. LOL:-))

BRIEF HISTORY OF IVA'S INTERNATIONAL SKIN CARE AND COSMETICS
Iva's International Skin Care and Cosmetic Company was founded February 1, 1985 as Iva's International Skin Care Corporation in Stockton, California by Iva I. Harris. Since the humble beginning of Iva's International in the home of the owners, Ermon M., SR and Iva I. Harris, Iva's International has maintained its promise to provide customers with quality and affordably priced products, as well as, a remarkable financial opportunity for those individuals who desire to build their own home-based business. Ermon and Iva travel extensively across the United States and to places like; St. Thomas and St. Croix, USVI and Cayman Islands, BWI to build and train independent distributors of Iva's International.

Shortly after the "start-up" of Iva's International, Iva's International moved to its first public headquarters. Iva's International quickly expanded itself through the recruitment of independent distributors across the continental United States, its territories, and several foreign countries. Ermon and Iva's two sons were instrumental for many years in the expansion and success of Iva's International. Today, while pursuing their own personal interests, they continue to invest time in the maintenance of Iva's International.

In 1990, Iva's International was headquartered in a 6600 square foot building that not only occupied Iva's International business center, but, Iva conducted her own personal charm school, a martial arts program, and the exquisite full service salon called Iva's International Beauty Palace until the mid 1990's.

In 1993, Ermon, SR and Iva moved to Los Angeles, California for a two year expansion program of Iva's International while their two sons, Ermon, Jr. (Skip) and Terence (Teronze) Harris maintained the Stockton Iva's International headquarters.

Iva's International has received several keys to various cities, proclamations, commendations, magazine recognitions, televisions appearances, newspaper acknowledgements, and owners' recognitions and awards. Ermon and Iva hosted a Valentine's Day party for Dr. Maya Angelou at Le Bistro Restaurant in Stockton where over one-hundred of her friends and top producers of Iva's International were in attendance. Ermon and Iva hosted their Decade Celebration at the Omni Hotel in Los Angeles where Dr. Lawrence A. Davis, Iva's former chancellor from AM&N College in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Dr. Fredrick and Betty Price, along with their daughter, Angela Evans of Crenshaw Christian Center of Los Angeles, California were special guests.

In July, 2004, Ermon M. Harris, Sr., president and Iva I. Harris, CEO, relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada from Stockton, California. It is here that Ermon and Iva continue with their mission to share an exquisite line of skin care products and promote the financial opportunity of Iva's International Skin Care and Cosmetic Company. Since 1985, our theme yet remains, ASK ME ABOUT THE NEW YOU!
