Don't forget your Valentine!

Need an ink cartridge

watch the google add say," ink cartridges!!!" I use "adsense" as a counter, I don't think blogger.com has a counter built in.
Anyway I was thinking of curculating some more flyers only, I'm all out of ink for my printer so, I'll trek out in the snow in a few hours to get the cartridges then print a flyer, head back to Staples Business Depot and use their printer to print about 200 hundred flyers or so. (Their ink will probably be less expensive than mine!) Oh, just writing that makes me tired!! Good thing I live really close to Staples!!

Goofing with pics

I've been goofing around with pictures trying to change my profile picture and adding the"gadget picture". I think like most people I hate having my picture taken!!!
I had my oldest daughter take a few pic's of me. She is a real photographer. She was even shmoozing me as she was taking the pictures! She said "You look like a real princess, Mommy!" as she was click, click, clicking away! I am always amazed at their little/big brains!

Last of Campaign 3

Well, I just distributed the last of my Campaign 3 brochures. I held back about 5 or so, to see if anyone from the flyer distribution wanted a brochure. If they did, you can always borrow mine or just ask me to deliver a brochure to you next campaign.
I think I will try advertising the same way again next campaign. The results were pretty good. I think I'll ramp it up a bit next campaign, to gain more customers. I will also order Mark catalogues for the handful of current customers I have. In case you don't know what "Meet Mark" is; it's a spin off company of Avon that carries trendy Makeup, clothes and accessories. The makeup focuses on smaller compact sizes for carrying in your purse. The jewelry is a little more "chunkier" on a whole and the clothing is "funkier". Of course, Avon also carries the "Expressions" line which is home decorating products as well as the "Chefables" line which is kitchen products. In all my years of being an Avon fan I don't think I've tried Expressions or Chefables. I've been tempted but haven't yet.
I'm excited to see if the last of the catalogues will stir an interest in someone new. I tried to pick an area that I don't think has been serviced but....who knows. I didn't knock on any doors to find out.
talk to you later,
Kim

Ohhhh! I just noticed two new followers, YAY! Hope you enjoy the site as much as I like blogging. Isn't it addictive, (blogging I mean).
My 1st follower is a close friend who is moving about an hour away!! I wish you lots of success with Pampered Chef in your new town of Georgetown, Krista.

Happy Birthday, Kelly!

Well, it seems like everyone will have to wait for upcoming brochures to see pictures of the upcoming Avon watches and jewelery that I tried to upload. It looks like blogger.com does not recognize the photos.
On another note. How was your weekend? Ours was a little more hectic than usual. We had some visitors from Northern Ontario, the in-laws. The kids and I went to a family Birthday Party in Woodbridge. The Birthday party was at a playgroup. I love those indoor playgroups, I can spend all day in there. My girls are very extroverted and I find them allot of work when they are bored so, they are never bored at the indoor play centres. Which is fantastic!!
Then when we came back from the morning birthday party we celebrated my husbands 35th Birthday! I think he knew what he was getting. It seems like no matter what occasion it is he always finds out where I hide his present! Mind you I am not overly creative finding hiding spots. I bought him a dart board a couple of weeks ago, left it in the van for a couple of days and he used the van during that time! He didn't say anything about finding the gift but ...I had a feeling he saw it in the back on the floor. Just in case he didn't I put it under a bed in a spare room. Of course, being the helpful husband he is, he cleaned the spare room for the in-law visit. I noticed the box sticking out from under the bed a little. Hmmm.
Anyway, I wanted a wooden box to put the dart board in so I went to Canadian Tire and the only dart board "boxes" they had came with the dart board and "flyers" The Canadian Tire set was a NHL theme so I thought, I'll get him this set and return the other. When I came back from shopping I said, "I know you saw your present and I am returning it so, you won't get that anyway." HAH! He admitted to seeing it and said, "I like it but, I did see it twice!"
He was happy to see the new dart board, and just finished installing it. He was thinking of playing hooky from work to play darts, but decided it would be best to go to work! Good idea!

Anyway, I've been considering an interavon website. That way customers can order directly from my website if they choose. That will be down the road, probably late spring. I'll link it to this blog when it's up.
talk to you later, I have a stinky bumm to change, ewe.

BEEP BEEP!

Still working on watch pic

I tried to upload pic of the teal watch, but didn't work out. I'll keep working on finding a pic I can upload.
Have a Good Night!

Mineral Makeup

Hey, I know Avon has been selling Mineral Makeup for a while now which is great. It is, as far as I understand, hypoallergenic and very good for the environment and your skin.
Looking ahead to Campaign 4, the focus will be Mineral makeup. If anyone has ever wanted to try mineral makeup at a great price, definitely consider Avon.

Great Spring Colors coming

I was just checking on my Avon Rep. Site. Some of the upcoming products for spring are great! I noticed some coral and teal jewelry. I especially love a new watch that is coming in Campaign 6. It has a small round face with a chain link band. The watch is all metal and teal in color. It is great. I'll see if I can cut and paste a picture or two.

My Baby Boy all grown up!

We just got back from getting haircuts! The youngest two got their haircut.

Sabrina is a princess, with sparkly hairspray. Alec got his first cut! He looks like a Big Boy now. I thought for sure he would cry, but no, he loved all the attention. Afterwards we did a little shopping in the mall and Alec was strutting making sure everyone noticed his awesome cut. He looks like a little punk rocker now.

This is his Before Picture, Just before heading out to the mall

And Here he is......A Brand New Boy!

This is Sabrina half way through her cut, she loves horses!

Here is Sabrina going for a boat ride.

Tupperware is Great...

I've been meaning to talk about one of every ones other favorite companies- at least I think so. It's Tupperware. About every 6 months or so I put in my order to Tupperware. Just like Avon I can't wait to get it. The products are always meet or exceed my expectations and they always last longer than any other plastic kitchen product. I especially love the kids tumblers with the sippy cup lids that you can buy separate. In fact I'm going to put in an order for more today! I have three kids and they absolutely are addicted to the cups - Is there are rehab for that sort of thing? My Tupperware Lady is Awesome she'll always let me know what other things are half price etc.. I usually just get what I want and that's it, but it's nice to have a heads up.

Talk to you later,

Change in Expiry of Campaign 3

It looks like there is a bit of a technical error. Campaign 3 is actually due February 1st. If you have received your brochure the date on the back is wrong and I will be accepting orders until february 1st from that campaign.
talk to you later.

Delivered a few

Well, I just got in from delivering a few brochures. I know a handfull of people asked me to drop brochures by so, I wanted to do that A.S.A.P. I know myself as a customer I can't wait to see the latest brochure so when people ask to see one I will get them delivered as soon as I can. As for dropping 50 brochures off in the neighborhood, didn't happen this morning. There is a wee bit of a snow storm out there! Maybe tonight.

Gotta go kids are calling

All Signed Up!

Well, I did it! Very Exciting. I will be able to access my own personal account in about 24 hours.
I've already signed and dated about 50 catalogues and will be distributing them by tomorrow. If you don't receive a Campaign 3 Brochure and would like one, please let me know.

Now, I've got to clean pen marks off the computer screen. I just noticed there are a few more than usual. I asked my daughter if she did it while she was watching her movie and she said,"Yes, it's an alligator". It really looks like an Alligator too very nice......too bad it's on the monitor. I have learned from the past toothpaste does the trick on the LCD screens.

till next time,
Kim

I'm "signing on" today

I am so excited! I will be signing on to be an Avon representative today! For those of you who have received my flyers please let me know if you would like a brochure. It looks like Avon is in full force with Campaign 3, but I still we be able to receive my brochures and get some out to customers.
I'm hoping to meet some new customers as well as look up a few past customers.

talk to you soon, I need to go put away our Christmas Tree and air out the house. I cleaned the oven (pushed the self clean button) last night and the kitchen has a burnt smell, lesson to self don't clean oven on the coldest day of the winter.

Summer Sunset

Here is a picture of a Nova Scotia Sunset taken in the summer. Just thought I'd post this on one of the coldest days of the winter, so I'm told. We haven't ventured outside yet to see for ourselves.

Courtney Cox

It looks like Courtney Cox will be the "face" of a new Avon Scent coming in Spring/Summer.
Can't wait to try it.

Some Avon Success Stories

I've been researching Avon success stories and have found about a dozen really great ones. They are about women from United States. I will post some of their stories here. In the meantime I will be searching for some great Avon story's from Canada as well.

Here is a Success Story about Elena Maldonado. At the time she started her Avon business, 10 years ago, she had four young kids. Elena researched different home based businesses and found Avon to be her best match.
Elena enjoys that Avon is a recognizable name and is an easy sell. She joined the Leadership program of Avon which gives her incentives to recruit and mentor other Avon reps.
Her total unit has sold $1.3 Million in sales in one year. Now, from what info I have gathered I understand her commissions on that $1.3 Million would be 5%! According to the Avon leadership website I visited, Elana's personal sales have reached about $30,000 in a year. My best guess is that her commissions are probably around 35% of that, given cosmetics give a 50% commission and other products such as Health and Wellness, Gifts, and Licensed products earn you less commissions.

Well now, I have to get a calculator to figure these numbers out, but they look pretty darn good.
Anyway, see you again.

* I got the above info from the website YourAvon.com

Avon Campaign 3 brochure

Hi,

I just got a sneak peak of Avon Brochure for Campaign 3. It is the best Valentines Brochure I've seen ever. I've been a fan of Avon for a long, long time and this campaign is fabulous. There is sterling silver jewelry at a great price and pages and pages of great Valentines stuff. There is even about three pages dedicated to Bras! I love all the red valentines gifts for everyone, especially the kid stuff. Wow - Avon is doing such a great job.
I can't wait to sign on. My plan is to sign up for the Valentines Campaign - I look forward to it!

A story about Avon's CEO

OK. It seems like things are settling a bit around here after the Christmas Holiday's. Our family is back in to it's usual crazy schedule. Although my daughters are taking a break from dance class for the next few months so that's a little easier for the "Mom chauffeur". We will be signing them up for soccer soon enough, so in the meantime I'm going to enjoy a slower pace!

Today I wanted to start a post, hoping to spark a feeling of inspiration towards Avon, for fellow readers. I will follow this post with other inspirational Women who are part of the Avon organization but, today I thought I'd start with the CEO of the company.

Her name is Andrea Jung, chairman and CEO of Avon Products, Inc. In 2006 she was ranked seventh on Fortune magazine's 2006 list of the "50 most Powerful Women in Business."

Now, I googled her and found a bit of info and would like to share this with you. Harvard business School released a press release in November 2006 about her being a speaker for Harvard Business School's MBA students. In 1994 Andrea Jung was president of the U.S. Product Marketing Group and felt there was a need to "reinvent the Avon brand." Andrea repositioned Avon as "the company for women."

She became Avon's 9th CEO and first women CEO in 1999.

I will continue to add more to this section of my blog in the following days.

I also want to add I received an awesome pair of earrings from Danielle Redner, who is a Stella and Dot stylist in Ontario. Thank you Danielle. I love them! The new Stella and Dot catalogue is great, I love how it's "put" together, everything jumps right out at you, I want it all! I'll keep you posted on Stella and Dot as well.

Now I've got to go and do a craft or two with my two youngest kids.

Cheers,

Kim
