Avon

I've begun a new venture. I'm now an Avon Sales Representative!

For quite some time I've tried to think of a way to make a little extra cash while being a wife, grandma, caregiver, homemaker and whatever else I need to be.
Trying to do something that I can do from home and that doesn't require driving around to do home parties or too much "extra" work was a hard thing to find.

I've played with the idea of Avon for a while. I resisted because I am not one to wear much makeup and I'm allergic to most perfumes. I didn't want to try to sell something that I could not use myself.

Well, I did some research. I began looking on the Avon website and noticed that the company has expanded quite a bit since I had last looked! They have everything now! Not only makeup and perfume but great skin care products, body care products, jewelry, clothes, shoes, purses, watches, and more!
Then I also noticed that they support raising funds for breast cancer research, domestic violence, and women who need support. They are very strong in helping women to be strong!

So I took a leap of faith and I contacted the local representative. She came to my home and I signed up!

Now here's the real news! I barely had time to look at my start up kit and had my first orders! I have been very blessed to have great friends and family that have helped me get started in my new business.
I am amazed at how easy it is to sell! Women everywhere know and love Avon! I give my website, catalog or business card to a person I know and the next thing I know I have people I don't know ordering from me!

I am now on my third campaign. There is a new campaign every two weeks so I've been a representative for one month.
I want to have orders each and every campaign. That is my goal. When the new one started today I begin to wonder who I can approach for an order. What should I do now!
Then I'm blessed with a phone call this morning from a friend that I had left my catalog with. She's a hairdresser and one of her customers wants to order $50 worth of products!

I'm now using the skin care products and a little bit of makeup and loving the way it makes me feel!

So if your looking for great products to use for yourself or as a gift........everything and anything from deodorant to jewelry check out my website! Or if your looking for a part time job with a great company contact me!

Quakes, Avon, kids and weather.............seems I just haven't had any time to sit and write much lately.
I haven't been looking at recipes either to use for my recipe blog. Been just throwing things in the pan and when it's done we eat!

We've had SEVERAL earthquakes starting with the big 7.2 on Easter Sunday. Still having them as of today. So far our home has held up well and we are all in one piece. Feel bad for those who live further south and getting the worst of it though.

I signed up as an Avon representative. I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment because I haven't had the time to get a feeling of organization yet. I am going to try to spend the next two days doing some filing and organizing. I plan to put an ad in the local newsletter that goes around this mobile home park on the first of May and want to be ready in case it gets some attention!
I am pleased though that I'm in the second campaign already and even though I've felt very unorganized somehow have managed to get over $100 in orders each time!
I inherited this beautiful old roll top desk from my mother-in-law and using it for my office space in a little corner of my front room. I can even close my office by rolling it down!

With school in spring break the last two weeks I've been extra busy with both boys here most of the days. Took them to the zoo this week and kept busy figuring out things for them to do all day.

Weather has been just weird. Rain, sun, wind, it changes every few days. Which is making my sinuses and my arthritis do a dance that I don't like!

Baseball season has started. Jim is going back to work as an usher beginning on Monday.

SO, with school starting , Jim working, some time to get Avon organized.......maybe the quakes will quiet down and all will be at peace again!
