“There is nothing new under the sun!” So said Solomon a.k.a. the original wise guy
Often when we say we are trying something new, what we really mean is we are trying something we’ve attempted before and failed at, maybe tweaking our approach, maybe changing the intensity, maybe increasing our focus, maybe amending our goals. Usually, it’s not new at all. What might have changed is us.
A few months ago, I signed up as an Avon representative. I grew up using Avon products and still love them even now. But if you’re not intentional with your time and efforts, it’s easy for things to fall into the cracks. So after a while, I stopped inviting people to try the products and I just bought what I needed online myself without expanding my site as a business.
Today, I’m starting again and inviting you to join me on this journey. This isn’t anything new. What’s new is my determination to explore an opportunity, my desire to share something I love with other people, and my expectation that this journey will be a mutually beneficial one.
Because I know Avon. No. Avon isn’t a brand new, cutting edge company selling fancy, new products. No. Avon doesn’t always lead the pack with trends. But the products are the same products I (we) grew up using. The cosmetics still smell great. The moisturizers still keep your skin supple. The makeup still works. The shoes are still comfortable. The jewelry is still beautiful. The purses still last a long time. The prices are still amazing.
And above all that, Avon is one of the top supporters to fund research in the fight to end breast cancer (Read cause info here) So when you purchase Avon products, you’re supporting a woman battling the awful disease (or the people who support her).
Click here to visit my Avon eStore and purchase a familiar item (or several) to restock your home/beauty stash.
Some of the items I’m purchasing myself and recommend to you also are:
This purse which looks big enough to hold all the junk I walk around with daily:
… and this mini bag which happens to be the color I’m craving this fall
The Anew day and night cream pair that is on par with moisturizers I’ve bought in Macy’s for a lot more cash.
Makeup primer because my face powder just needs something to adhere to in this heat
Please let me know when you place an order so we can chat about your experience and I might even be able to offer you some freebies with your purchase.
And Thanks for the continued support!

I hope it works well for you and you can make it successful. I don’t think I would be a good Avon rep as I think a guy coming to your door to sell ladies cosmetics etc… nah – wouldn’t work lol

Haha. You might be surprised. It would be different. Sometimes, different is good. But FYI, Avon also has a men’s line.

“Beauty is the journey, empowerment is the destination.” I’ve never heard this quote before and I think it is amazing! Perfectly describes how I feel sometimes, or at least should be thinking. Best luck on your determination to make the most of this opportunity. The bags you’re getting are adorable. I’ll be interested to see how you like the smaller one.
