What If $10 Could Change Your Life?

Posted on by

I was doing some reading last night, my all time favorite hobby, and for the second time in the past week I ran across a disturbing fact:  Most bankruptcies could be avoided if the person(s) filing had just $50 more a week.  Just $2,600 more a year could have meant keeping what they had and not having to start over. I was one of those people hanging by a thread above the pit of financial destruction, and while it is hard to believe, just $50 more a week in my hands would have given me a bit more ‘rope’ to hold on too.

There are those who could seriously enjoy life a bit more with $50 more a week to spend so they didn’t feel like they had to scrape by each pay day.  $50 more a week could be the difference between “yes” and “no” when their children want to play sports, join a cheer leading squad, take dance or music lessons.

Many work-at-home opportunities are scams, where you have to send them $100 or more to receive a list of possible work clients seeking people to do work from home.  Sadly, if they had $100 they could part with for a “maybe” job they probably wouldn’t be looking in the first place.

Other ways to work from home are party plan/direct sales businesses.  And yes you really can make money doing these but now that I am in direct sales with 2 companies I do realize some of the realities.  Party plan businesses are great fun, you get folks to host parties, they invite their friends, you show up and sell pots and pans, or candles, or jewelry and make money off those sales.  One of the ‘hooks’ is that you can make $300-500 in just 2 hours, you cannot make that working in an office where your hourly wage might be $12-20 per hour.  Well true, but not many party plan folks are doing 40 hours a week in just parties.  And the other issue being that the majority of goods sold at these parties are not consumable.  Jewelry is nice but you can only wear so much at a time.  Purses and bags rock my world too, but I only use one at a time and rarely need more anytime soon.  Don’t get me wrong, some party plan businesses, like the one I am with (SwissJust) do sell things you will want more of fairly often, trouble is I’m already a very busy woman so the idea of having to find several hours a week to go do a party to make money is not so appealing.  It isn’t just 2 hours, it is drive time, set up time, take down time so that 2 hours is more like 4 or 5 per party for a party plan business owner.  I love going to parties others are throwing, but again time is of the essence and I just don’t have much of that.

Now, we are also all looking for a way to save money on our daily needs, in addition to making that $50 a week.

So, you’ve read this far keep going…

What if I told  you that for just $10 you could:

  1. Join a “club” where you could purchase most of your daily needs (other than food & utilities) for 20-50% off EVEN sale items?
  2. You could make $50 more a week (or a lot more but let’s stick with the $50).
  3. You would not have to go out and spend any more time away from home than you already do?  In fact LESS time away because it would cut down on trips to the store.

Would that be something that you find of interest?

You CAN invest only $10 and have all of that and more.

Yes…it is AVON.

For $10 you receive your Avon kit, your website, oodles of online training, and if you are signed up under the right person you have someone who wants to make you a success.

Trust me when I tell you that Avon….well it isn’t your grandmother’s or even your mother’s Avon anymore.

While you certainly can go ringing door bells if you so desire, most of us don’t.  There are no territories, sell to anyone, anywhere you like.

Take me for example.  I work a full time job now, and have grandchildren and children to spend time with.  Books I want to read and shows I like to watch.  The idea of having to get dressed up and go work a party just doesn’t appeal to me.  But I do love extra money.  Avon gives me that without adding to my busy day.  I don’t leave my house without brochures and I will talk to and hand one to anyone I come in contact with during the day.

I recently thought about the things I use every single day:

Shampoo & conditioner
Facial cleanser
Shower soap
Hand soap
Moisturizer
Makeup
Hair gel and hair spray
Clothes
Shoes
Jewelry
Perfume

All of those items I purchase from Avon at 20-50% savings every time, even on items that are on sale.

Yes I make $50 a week…in fact much more.  We have Avon reps making 6 figure incomes (one little old gal in my division is 80+ years old and sells over $200,000 a year making %50 commissions…you do the math!)

There is no catch…we don’t buy anything we either don’t need ourselves, or our customers don’t order, unless we want it.   Just that $10 investment and there is no expensive kit to purchase.  Yes, I do purchase brochures, in fact I used to spend $20 and buy 100 of them each campaign.  I’m only spending $11 and getting 30 now.  Sometimes I buy samples (10 for $1) but mostly I just use the brochures and talk to folks when I’m out and they either call with an order or go to my free, Avon website that came with my $10 investment, and they buy and order direct to their own door.

So, how much do you need to sell to earn $50 a week?  If you placed an order of $300 every campaign (every 2 weeks), you would earn 35% ($105).  There is  your $50 a week.  How hard is it to sell $150 a week in Avon?  Not hard at all, if you are handing folks your brochure and following up to see what they need, you will consistently have orders of at least $300.  I submit the orders online every other week, it is delivered to my door, and I bag it up while I watch TV then deliver when I am out and about or some customers pick it up from me.

I am looking for more representatives for my team.  Doesn’t matter if you live all the way out in California, you can be on my team.  And still for only $10.  All you have to do is go to http://www.startavon.com and sign up, using a credit card, for just $10 (NO shipping etc).  Use the code:  MARTIGARDNER  and you will become one of my team members. I will coach you, Skype with you, do whatever you need me to do in order to help you make that $50 a week.

Even if you are your only customer, you still will be able to purchase your Avon at a discount of at least 20% (as long as it is a $50 order).  That alone beats anything your local wholesale club can offer.

How could $10 change YOUR life right now?  That is all you would be out just for trying, but it sure could  turn into the best $10 you ever spent.

I try not to push sales on my blog page, as this is kind of my therapist couch here.  It is where I come to write, vent, etc, and it helps keep me sane.

But today, I’m coming to my readers to shamelessly promote my Avon business.  I have until March 13th to hit my sales goals and make President’s Club again.  To do that, I need to have $1,900 in sales by that date.  It makes the difference in 20% vs 40% commission on my sales.  I’ve been distracted from my sales because of my new job and now I need to really push hard to get them so that I finish out the sales year on the high note.

So, what I’m asking  you, my readers, is that if you are a fan of Avon, or ever thought about checking it out, that you consider an online order from me!  You can shop the current brochure from the comfort of your computer, pay online (orders over $30 ship FREE), and your order will be delivered direct to your door usually in 3-5 days!!!!

Just go to my store (www.youravon.com/martigardner), then click “shop my eBrochure” and you can see the latest brochures to order from!  Cosmetics, bath & body, fashion, jewelry, fragrance, home items…Avon has a wide variety including a leading skin care line, ANew!

Avon MagiX Product Review and Give Away!

Posted on by

I am a stickler about my makeup.  I know, probably vain of me, but if I am going to put on a face in the morning, I want it to look the best possible.

One of my pet peeves when it comes to my makeup is shine.  I do NOT like to have shiny spots at all, I just want a  nice, flawless finish.  But my skin has areas that while they don’t feel oily, when I put on makeup they sure look it!  Too much powder trying  to tone that down and I look like I have a ton of foundation on when in fact I do not!

As a representative I have seen Avon’s MagiX Face Perfector in the catalogs but just never thought to give it a try.  Honestly, it wasn’t a product that I gave any attention to so I wasn’t even certain what it would do.  Then one day when searching for a past article in our representative catalogs for upcoming products I stumbled on the MagiX.  I decided to give it a try.

It goes on as a gel and dries almost instantly to feel powder smooth.  I put it on after cleansing, serum and moisturizer.  Those alone tend to make my skin feel kind of oily.  Immediately I noticed NO shine where I had the MagiX applied.  (by the way, it sports an SPF 20!)

I followed up with my Avon ideal Flawless foundation, then my blush and finally loose powder.  I am VERY impressed!  That was 5 hours ago and still, no oily shine.  Just a nice, smooth look to my face and makeup.  I am SO glad I decided to give this a try.

Another positive, you can wear this product with or without makeup! Just put it on after your moisturizer to give you a nice, matte finish!

Do you suffer from shine or oily skin that makes your makeup look less than perfect?  I highly recommend this product.  A little bit goes a long way, and it is well worth the price.  Regular price it is $10 for a 1 fl oz. supply, it is currently on sale in the Campaign 22 brochure for $7.99.  It is for all skin tones.  The product number is 646-451 and you can purchase it now on my Avon website.

 
Because I am SO impressed I am going to give away a MagiX! 
You must be a US resident.

Leave The Drama To Your Lashes

I have to do one more product review, for the single best mascara I have ever used.

I play up my eyes the most when I put on my face, they are my best feature.  I used to wear false eyelashes because they really do make your eyes look amazing.  I have even gone the route of lash extensions, but the cost is prohibitive and it is very time consuming to have them applied.

NO MORE!

This past Spring at the Avon President’s Club Gala, in our swag bag of goodies we were given for achieving President’s Club, we were given this new mascara.  OMG it is AMAZING.  I LOVE this stuff!!!! I was so bummed when I finally used up that tube, because I had to wait until this current campaign to get my hands on it again.  IT’S HERE!!!!

Volume and length to die for, I’ve been asked if they are really my lashes!  YES!  And they can be your lashes too!  Avon Drama Mascara doesn’t clump, and comes off easily with eye makeup remover.  And you will have the best looking lashes you have ever had from a mascara!

Best part? Right now, you can order online and all orders of $10 or more ship FREE when you use the code: ESSENTIAL

DON”T Wait! Order your amazing, Drama mascara and leave the drama to your gorgeous eyes! Click —> HERE  <— to go to my website to order! Then click  ”shop my eBrochure” to begin paging through the current brochure and placing your order!

Turning Back The Hands Of Time – Pro Line Eraser Product Review

Okay ladies, and gents – because men want to retain youthfulness too, I feel like I’ve discovered the fountain of youth.  Best part? I work for myself selling the product, it has just been released here in the USA and it is the beauty breakthrough of the century, maybe even better.

What if I told you that this product is SO good that women that were going to undergo cosmetic surgery to minimize their wrinkles actually canceled surgery after using it?

If you knew this product was a fantastic alternative to Botox and other treatments that are similar, PER a dermatologist, would you be impressed?

And suppose I told you that fully 100% of the women who have used this product in clinical studies saw noticeable improvements to their skin?

I could also tell you that this is a bigger break through in skin care treatment than alpha hydroxyl acids and Retinol were.

If I also told you that you could see results, noticeable ones, in as few as 2 weeks of using the product in the morning and evening after using facial cleanser, would you want it?

Okay now what if I mentioned, that this product will sell for $39.99 for the full size, 1 ounce product, but currently it is on sale for $34.99 as an introductory price?

Are you hooked yet?  You should be!

YES it is an Avon product.

Anew Clinical Pro Line Eraser Treatment.

And you can purchase it right  now, online, through my Avon site and shipping is free.

Men and women will love this item.  I’ve started using it myself along with my regular regimen, I LOVE it.

I will give you numerous links to check out reviews:

Did you know  that only 12-18% of emails get read?  In a business like mine, that is terrible when you are trying to reach customers and potential customers with information regarding specials and new items!

I’ve decided to get a fan page going for my Avon business.  I already had the fan page, http://www.facebook.com/MarvelousWithMarti   but I really need to grow my fan base.  SO I’m having a give away.  3 makeup bundles of the items needed to achieve the looks you see in the photo below.  One winner will get to chose the bundle for the look they want and I will mail it all to them.  There are rules, like the contest closes when there are 300 likes/fans (not to worry I will have more such fun events).  The winner must live in the United States or Canada.

SO go like the page and get in the drawing for the awesome bundle and I will contact the winner once the page hits 300 fans and a drawing is held!

WHY I Am An Avon Lady

Posted on by

It seems like SO long ago I was going to work every day in an office. For 26 years I worked for a company, spending a good deal of time at a desk, in front of the computer, working in that office away from my family. I missed a lot of important times in my children’s growing up years because I HAD to work, we needed the income.

After the economy went belly up, so did that job I had worked at for so long. I took a job managing an office for a painting company, but when late Autumn hit the job was done. Then I went to work for a heating and air company, but they went the way of the economy.

In an effort to generate some income I made the decision to start in-home childcare. Within a week I was watching 3 kids, all siblings. I picked up a part timer after school and an infant after the holidays that year. Not too bad, but that left me feeling like the walls were closing in on me. I was home, all day, sun up to sun down. I loved watching them, make no mistake about it, but it didn’t get me out of the house. My conversations were about characters in the popular children’s television shows. I needed to do something that would get me out of the house when possible.

I had always loved Avon products so I decided to look into being a representative. Imagine my shock when I found out it was only $10 to start my own beauty business. I met with Renee, my ‘upline’ person, learned a lot in an hour, and I was off! No inventory, no big expense, just $10 out of my pocket and I had my kit, I was an Avon lady. And I was excited!

Immediately my mom and sister decided this was an opportunity for them as well, and they signed up! I was already building a downline and I quickly found a few customers. This was pretty easy, so I stuck to it.

One of the first benefits was the monthly district sales meetings. I was connecting with other women, having intelligent conversations and learning about running my own business in a very fun atmosphere. This group of women made me feel like one of the team, applauding accomplishments, sharing ideas, it did a lot for my need to have something outside of the house, a hobby of sorts.

It was early on that I saw the potential for real income with Avon. While some women do it just for the hobby or outside interest, I saw the opportunity to make this a career. I started looking at the top sellers, and the ‘rich and famous’ of Avon. The Lisa Wilber and Barb Avery types. I read their web pages and blogs, watched them in videos, listened to them in interviews and thought to myself, “if they can do this, so can I!”. These were not people that went to Harvard for business degrees, these were average gals with a dream and some desire to achieve those dreams for themselves. And OH have they achieved the dreams.

I knew what I wanted, I wanted to work for ME. To sleep in some days if I wanted too. To be my own boss and not have to answer to anyone else if I wanted a sick day because I was sick of doing anything at all. And I wanted financial independence, freedom to buy what I want when I want it.

Not being one to reinvent the wheel, I started to study the things the top achievers like Lisa and Barb were doing. I kept going back and listening to their interviews, reading things they suggested, and I began to apply those things. And with that, I began to see some success.

I also started to gain something I’ve struggled with…self confidence. Every sale, every recruit, every mile stone I’ve achieved has fueled my self confidence. I look at myself in the mirror and I KNOW I can do this, and that one day I will be up there in the top ranks, and my name will be a household name among the other Avon representatives. That people will want to know how I achieved my goals. I KNOW without a doubt that I can have my dreams, my ‘whys’ for even starting this. I know this because I’ve seen others that have done it, and I’ve seen the beginnings of the mile stones starting to be achieved for myself.

Once school got out this year, I stopped watching children and launched into Avon full time. The first thing I realized is I don’t have to work 40 hours at this every week. I can do this 25 hours a week IF I really work it for those time periods. And I realized that this can be a part of everything I do each day. If I am out window shopping, I am prospecting other women! If I am at the library, I will talk to anyone about this opportunity. If I pass women at the coffee shop, I give them each a brochure and get their contact information so I can touch base to get their orders. Every where I go there is opportunity! And I can do it all day, every day, any chance I have while going about my LIFE. Yes, I have a LIFE and I’m LIVING that life while achieving my dreams and whys.

The best part is I get to help other women (and a few good men!) do the same thing! Spend more time with family, really LIVE life while making the money, achieving their dreams and goals, or just enjoying a hobby. Whatever it is they want to get out of this opportunity, I am helping them and making life long friends a long the way.

Avon is the #1 direct selling company in the world. I am proud to be a part of that. I’d be honored to have YOU as a part of my team!

Simply go to: Start Avon and use the code: martigardner when you sign up online. You will need a credit card for that $10 investment. Your starter kit will arrive in 3-7 days. And you will become a part of something special…an opportunity to work with some of the best people around, make new friends, achieve your goals and dreams, and work for YOU! I will help you, train you, support you and cheer you on! Why NOT you? And why NOT today?

Lessons From My Cat

Posted on by

1

I’ve  learned many things from my cat over the 2 years I’ve had her, which is all but about 4 weeks of her life.  At the moment she is working on spending one of her 9 lives and cutting her existence a bit short but cats are like that some days.

See, cats suffer from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).   Well maybe it is more of just an obsession issue.  Once they get something in their furry little heads it takes over their life in every manner.   They eat, breath, sleep and function for one purpose – the object of their obsession.  They don’t stop until they have what they seek.

Recently I started using a new  pill holder.  You know the kind, you can put all of your medication in it for a week,  divided into cute little compartments, one for each week day.  It isn’t so much that I take a lot of medications or vitamins, only 3 pills per day,  it is the only sure proof way to ensure I actually take them each day….once.   Otherwise I go through the day and cannot recall if I took them.  No sense over dosing or under dosing, just use this little invention and problem solved.  I take my Lexapro, allergy meds and a probiotic.  I’ve just recently began the probiotic as a means of keeping my Ulcerative Colitis in remission (so far so good).

I don’t know if it is the new container or the probiotic that the cat is so fascinated with now.  I’ve used containers before but the last one went off the back of the bike on a highway south of Louisville some months back with my backpack.  Pixel never had any interest in it beyond checking it out then walked away.  By the way, nothing new that enters my room is missed, she notices and checks out every little item before it is given a pass to stay put.  EVERYTHING.  Either this new container is the issue, or it is the probiotic inside.  Whatever it is, the darn thing is like catnip to her.  I’m leaning toward the probiotic as the container sat on the vanity for days without her caring one bit.  Now that the other pill is inside she suddenly won’t leave it alone.  She treats it like the catnip pillows we have, rubbing her chin on it, trying to pick it up and take it away.  She just found it this morning,  of course while I was  asleep.  I tossed her off my vanity twice before I put it in the drawer and went back to sleep.  She has spent the past hour trying to get the drawer open.

After I tossed her from the room and shut the door, I got back in bed and thought to myself, “if I treat my business with that same level of obsession I will be a Senior Executive Unit Leader in a year!”.  DING DING DING!!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!  Okay no bells went off but you get the idea.  I have been reading Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich, and Pixel just provided me with a visual aid for burning desire to have something.  As soon as I opened the door of the bedroom she appeared from down stairs and was right back to trying to open that drawer!  She simply will NOT give up, it is her burning desire, her obsession, to possess that container and/or it’s contents.  She has a get-it-or-die-trying level of commitment.

I’m rather certain I can say that no one has died as a result of building their direct selling business to the level of success that they are financially free from debt and making $8,000 a month.  Or more.  Yes I know, seems insane but those that make it that far in Avon share their tax returns at events to show us that they are getting bonus checks of $8,000-$14,000….every 2 weeks.  I want that SO bad.  And I know how to get it, I know the ins and outs of working this business to that kind of success.  I just have to keep DOING it.  Eat, breath, sleep my business.  Make it an obsession.

Thanks, Pixel, my beloved fur ball, for the incredible, though most incredibly annoying, visual aid this morning.

DING DONG? Yes Please!!

While yesterday was in fact my first official day as ‘just’ an Avon Lady, today was my first real full time day of working it.  I love my job,  no doubt about that.  I’ve loved this since the day I signed up a year ago.  However I REALLY love this job today.

Right out of the gate I called the customers that I had orders for and set up time to deliver their products and collect the money.  I enjoy this time, I love meeting new people that phoned in orders and I really enjoy the smiles when I show up with their goodies.

Because my sister is full time as an Avon representative, we went out together.  It is a lot more fun with a partner in crime so to speak.  We book bombed (tossed) 1000 Avon brochures  throughout various neighborhoods on our side of town while we delivered the orders.  I even enjoy that part,  it is like spreading seeds in a garden of customers.  It doesn’t hurt that the two of us can find fun in just about anything we do together.

Then we began the process of prospecting.  We took many ideas from our recent leadership training workshop we had attended a few weekends ago, putting into practice approaching strangers,  leaving prospecting flyers under windshield wipers, and sticking notes with our contact stickers on them and hand written,  “Need $$? Call me, I’m hiring!” on ATMs, pop machines and newspaper stands.  The goal is always to talk to as many folks as possible, and get contact information.  Once we have contact info they are considered a lead.  We each got 5 leads today and countless unknown ones from the fliers, stickie  notes and book bombing.  It was a GREAT day.

The best part was we slept in,  getting out of bed when we darn well felt like it!  Then we were able to socialize and window shop all day,  all the while talking to a lot of very wonderful women about Avon.  Every single woman we spoke with said the same thing, they did not have an Avon representative!  I’m told only 13% of the women in my area are serviced by an Avon Lady or Man, which means a huge potential customer base.  I have so much work to do!  :)

I LOVE MY JOB!!!

If you’d like to give Avon a try for some part time/supplemental or full time income, please contact me and let’s get you started.  It is the best $10 investment you will ever make.  Yes, JUST $10 and you are on the way to limitless earning potential while enjoying one of the most FUN jobs you will ever have!

You all know that I sell Avon…or if you are a new reader to my blog, I SELL AVON!  I am now full  time with running my own business and my car has decided that now is the time to quit.  Lovely.  SO, I am having a fund raiser for my car.  I need $700 to fix it.  If I can sell $1550 between now and 6/15, I will earn 50% commission, which enables me to fix my car.

This is where you come in.  Please, consider helping me out here and go to my fund raiser event on my Avon page by clicking the flier  below and purchase some Avon!  It will go a long way to helping me get this 16 year old car running again so that I can work toward a new vehicle!

Thanks in advance and please feel free to share!

I LOVE what I do,  watching kids and Avon.  But the daycare  side is drawing to a close.  Summer is here and I need to focus on my Avon business to go full time.  It’s what I’ve wanted since I saw the business and earning opportunity that comes from being my own boss.

$10 investment and  I was off to the races making money, selling one of the most familiar names in products.

Now, I’m a national recruiter, stretching my team across the country.

I’m looking for a few things and you, my amazing audience of readers,  can assist.

First,  it is warm weather  and I need a sales boost.  If you haven’t seen an Avon brochure lately, I would  love  for you to take a look via my Avon Online Store.  Just click “Shop my eBrochure” on the right hand side and you can page through the current brochure/catalog.  Avon sells Deet free bug repellent, you won’t be sorry you tried it!

That is the first thing you can do to assist me…buy!  Get on my Avon site and place an order!  Avon has 100% satisfaction guarantee so you can return things if they do not meet your expectations.  But please, if you have ever considered buying from Avon, I would LOVE to be your Avon lady – shop with me from home, pay online and it will be shipped directly to you!  Want to save money on shipping?  If you use the code, 99JUNE1 your order ships for just .99 cents!  If your order is $30 or more, it ships FREE!!!!!!  So please, consider helping a sister out and place an Avon order, spread the word to friends and family too!

Now, second.  Have YOU considered becoming an Avon rep?  It is only $10 to start, nothing more.  No need to stock inventory.  Just $10.  Your first 4 campaigns you will receive 40% commission, and after that you earn 20-50% based on your sales.  Example: Place a $300 order and your commission is 35% earning you $105.  I know just about everyone could use a little extra income.  Or a lot if you chose to work it that way.  Sign up with me,  online, and you will be in my downline, on my team, and I will help you, train you and teach you to build your business. How you say? Just go to Start Avon and use the code MARTIGARDNER and pay the $10 and you will receive your kit  in a few days and then the fun of working for yourself, as a part of my team begins!!!  You have nothing to lose but $10 if it turns out not to be your thing.  But I know you will succeed and LOVE this business.  If for no other reason than the discount you will be able to buy your own Avon for, and really why pay retail?

So,  that dear readers is how you can assist  me,  and at the same time shop sales, and start your own business!  And yes, a few really good men sell Avon too, and they are very successful!

Thanks SO much!

Your Online Avon Lady :)

My sister and I were invited to attend a leadership trip to Avon’s Zanesville, Ohio, distribution plant today.  We had to leave home at 4:45am, so right about now (6:16pm) I am ready to pass out from exhaustion.  This was a total and complete honor for us, and OMG was this amazing!

As is usually the case with the two of us, we had entirely too much fun on the ride up there.

We stopped at a McDonald’s to grab more coffee and use the ladies room.  WOW, have things  changed since I had small children.  I closed the stall door to a spacious ‘potty’ spot, sat down and found myself looking at a chair mounted on the inside of the door, complete with straps.  Frankly that  kinda creeped me the heck out.   Oh don’t get me wrong, having had to use the bathroom with a small child in tow in my distant past, I get the need and the idea is really a good one as it keeps the little  crumb crunchers out of trouble in a germ infested area.  But my first, very sideways and wrong thought, was “oh, a midget bondage chair!”  Yes, I know, wrong and sick.  My Biker appreciated the sick humor when I shot him a picture of my view from the top of Mount  porcelain.

We got lost, sort of, thanks to mapquesting the directions.  We left the highway 2 exits too soon and the address turned out to be a high school.  But that is okay, because while driving through that area we found some rather interesting businesses.  One called the Splash And Dash car wash.  Next door to that is the Soggy Doggy pet groomer.  The topper was the strip bar in what appears to have been an old church.  Ice the cake with what appeared to be life size iron sheep, horses,  cowboys and some other barnyard critters on the one sidewalk, and well you have one very interesting little town.  We were in tears from laughing.

The rest of the day was, to us Avon reps, the beauty industry version of crack for druggies!  It is a fabulous distribution center, high tech, and totally amazing!  It makes me appreciate what I do for a living all the more.  It was a huge shot in my mojo.  Doesn’t hurt that all of us that went are a peppy group of ladies bursting with excitement for the brand, Avon.

See what one misses when they don’t run with a totally crazy person like myself?  :)

Product Review: Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus

Posted on by

As an Independent Sales Representative for Avon, I am given an opportunity to preview products  before they hit the brochures.  Recently the preview was for our Skin So Soft line of insect repellents.  As someone that likes being outside, especially on the back of a motorcycle, I decided to put our Bug Guard Plus to the test.

The first time I tried the Bug Guard Plus IR3535,  “Cool ‘N Fabulous” SPF 30 Lotion Disappearing Color. The disappearing color is great if you need to ensure that sun sensitive skin is completely covered as the blue color stays on the skin for a few moments before vanishing. It is, as it says, very water resistant.  This is an ideal product if you have little ones that swim or are outside playing sports.  For my taste, I cannot stand the scent. I am pretty sensitive to smells and didn’t care for it at all.  If I were swimming or had little ones I’d use it but for me personally, no thanks.

This past weekend I used the Bug Guard Plus IR3535 “Gentle Breeze” SPF 30 Lotion.  I’m sold, hooked, LOVE  this stuff.  The scent was pleasant, doesn’t smell like a sun screen to me.  And it works.  I applied it once around 11:30am yesterday, then got on  my honey’s Harley with him and rode all day, in the sun.  When I returned home last night I had tan lines but no sunburn whatsoever.  It should be noted that being a natural blond with very fair skin I tend to burn easily.  I haven’t gone to a tanning bed in over 2 years,  so I had zero base for protection.  Not a single red spot!  Add to that the fact that mosquitoes see a 7 course meal with a super decadent dessert when they spot me, and not a single bite anywhere even though I came home and spent time sitting outside for a while. I am totally sold on this product.

Right now you can purchase  this product on  myAvon Website Store and if you do so before midnight on 5/24 it will ship to you free!  In fact, any size order ships free until that deadline, just use the code: FSMAY2 and you should receive it in a few days time.

I LOVE MY HAIR COLOR!!!!

Yes I DO love it, Avon Advanced Techniques Professional Hair Color in Medium Mahogany Brown 5.65, it ROCKS!

I  know I have talked about it before, but I LOVE this product so much!  It gives me a GORGEOUS auburn color that has held up very nicely with very little fading.  I also use Advanced Techniques Color Lock treatment every day to ensure I keep my rich, outstanding color.  And to think I spend my  life as a natural blond, when I’m finding out a sassy red-head has every bit as much fun as those sporting golden locks, and quite possibly even more.

I’ve also been so pleased with the skin care regimen I used from Avon, and the make-up, that I have to share this proof-photo from my son’s March 17th wedding.  No airbrushing, just ME with the skin getting smoother thanks to Avon Anew Clinical Resurfacing Expert Smoothing Fluid (on sale in Campaign 9 for just $20!!!!).  If you know me you know how often I photo-shopped my personal photos, hating the pits in my face from adult acne in my 30′s.  I was skeptical to say the least about the effectiveness of this product, but they say it is 79% as effective as a professional, microdermabrasion and I’m here to tell you that I am never going a day without this product again.  You can see for yourself how great my skin is looking thanks to Avon skin care and make-up.  I’m sold.

YOU are welcome to try them for yourself through my personal Avon store or, if you’d rather NOT pay retail, contact me via my store site and become an Avon Independent Sales Rep yourself!  Save money AND make money in a job where you set the  hours, you are the boss, you determine how much you want to make!  No matter where you are in the United States, I can train you and mentor you in your business!

Here is what I use every single day with product numbers:

Face Cleanser, morning & evening – Anew Reversalist Renewal Foaming Cleasner (622-098)

Followed, morning & evening by - Anew Clinical Resurfacing Expert Smoothing Fluid (415-423)

Next up, morning & evening – Anew Reversalist Renewal Serum (338-247)

Daytime is followed by my moisturizer – Anew Reversalist Day Renewal Cream SPF25 (247-307)

Around my eyes, morning and evening – Anew Reversalist Illuminating Eye System (245-213)

I follow up on the eyes, with Anew Genics Eye Treatment, as of a few weeks ago before this ph0to, (013-849)

At night time, after the Renewal Serum dries, I use Anew Genics Night Treatment Cream (472-887)

Okay here it is, the photo I spoke of, and if I do  say so myself, I don’t think I look my age (49yo here very soon).  My biker honey says I don’t but then he IS a bit biased.

Why Not YOU?

We all need it, mad money.  That little bit of extra cash that allows us to buy lunch out at the office now and then, go out for a drink at happy hour, or to a matinee on the weekend.  Maybe you need it to take the kids to dinner or an  indoor water park on a snowy day.  Or maybe you need more than that, you need a part time income to supplement your family budget.  After all, many workers haven’t seen a raise in a few years and things are getting tighter by the day.  Maybe, like me, you lost your job when the economy tanked and need a full time income.

Why not try Avon?  Why NOT you, and why NOT today?

Save money on childcare by being HOME while you work to build your own business.  Set you own hours, be your own boss.

Alcohol, tobacco and cosmetics were the things during the depression that INCREASED in sales.  In every bad economy those things are on the rise.  We gals can live with being poor, but we’re going to look darn good doing it!  And when money is tight people change their spending habits.  Avon offers quality products in cosmetics, jewelry, fashion, every day, bath and body and more, that are top of the line.  They can do everything those expensive department store brands can for a considerable savings.  Don’t be mistaken, higher price does not mean better quality.  And with Avon, your customers have the convenience of shopping from their seat and not their feet.

You earn 20-50% commission based on your sales, so you can make as little or as much as you want.  Even if you just purchased your family’s needs (bath products, hair care, cosmetics, lotions/moisturizers) you’d have enough in sales to get quite a commission!  Our sales are always outstanding in the brochures, and as an independent sales  representative for Avon you would be getting those great sale items at an additional 20-50% savings!

$10-$20 to start, and that is ALL you need.  That small fee ($10 if you are local to me, $20 if you sign up online) gets you everything you need to launch your very own at-home business.  There is a wonderful amount of online training (free!) and you would be in my downline so you would get lots of help and training from me as well.  I use Skype to connect with my out of the area team members and for them to be able to attend the team meetings every 2 weeks!  With Avon you truly are in business for yourself, but not  by yourself.

I am always looking for ambitious men and women (some of our top sellers are men!) to join my team.  Why not you, why NOT today?

To join my team and start working for yourself, just go to START AVON and sign up with the code:  MARTIGARDNER

You will receive everything you need in 5-7 days to begin working for yourself.

Skeptical?  I’ve met those women making 6 figures in Avon.  Just check out Barb Avery, her and her husband got there in less than 2 years!  Watch her video on her site, “Our Story” for how they did it.  YOU can do this too!

Sign up today and join my team, I’d love to have YOU!

Dermatologist Recommends Avon Product On Dr. Oz

Dr. Oz had on a dermatologist Thursday that recommended one of Avon’s products, Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel for fighting wrinkles!  She said it is similar to what she uses in her office but obviously far more affordable through your Avon representative.

She most likely was unaware, since these shows are filmed in advance, of the new products we have now on the market, Anew Clinical Resurfacing Expert Smoothing Fluid!  The peel is once a week to twice a week, but the Resurfacing Fluid is a daily (evening and morning) product.

Nothing beats a dermatologist recommending the product, right?  I’ve linked the video so you can see it for yourself.  NOTE:  Anew Eye Genics is coming out in campaign 7, that will do amazing things for your eyes.  Also, our Anew Clinical Eye Lift Pro is an inexpensive alternative to a surgical eye lift and really works! I use it daily AM/PM along with the Genics Eye Cream.

Shop my online store for these products and more, and remember orders ship FREE if they are $30 or more!  Be sure to register your email address to receive sales notices and specials that are sometimes only available to our email subscribers!!!
