I Have A New Spokesmodel!

A few days ago, my daughter posted a new Facebook profile pic. She got lots of comments and questions about what she uses on her face to achieve this flawless look:

Here's her response:

" It's a long list! Before makeup I use the anew clinical line eraser with retinol (around my eyes) and the serum all over. Then I use the nutraeffects moisturizer.

Here comes the makeup:

Face: flawless liquid foundation (I use it as concealer bc the coverage is amazing) and smooth minerals powder foundation all over. I love that stuff!! Also use the smooth minerals blush. I use the mark touch and glow, too as a highlighter/bronzer/blush.

mark. Touch and Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes

Eyes: true color eyeshadow palette (I use nude muse which has purples, browns, nude/pinks). My eyeliner is glimmersticks in waterproof blackest night (favorite eyeliner EVER) and for the top lash line I use the precise liquid pen in black. My mascara is big and daring in waterproof black.

Happy ANEW Year 2017!

I spent the last two days planning my goals for the year, and writing in my planner.  Yes, I have a paper planner, and it sits beside my laptop while I work at the online part of my business.  It reminds me what I sat down to do, and helps to keep me on task.  It would be so easy to go to Facebook right now, and check messages, scroll through the news feed, comment and react until I realize my coffee cup is empty and I have created and produced NOTHING!

My planner is sitting next to me with a sticky note that reminds me I am supposed to write a blog post and reach out to my team today to ask what I can do to assist them in reaching their goals for this year.

The first thing I noticed when I went to my blog, is that I haven't posted in months and only posted three times last year! As discouraging as this was, I needed to review some old posts, tweak my blog template a little, and basically procrastinate before I started writing anything.

Back to goal planning:   After years working in the mental health field, this is something that is almost second nature to me.  The planning part is easy, the follow-through is the challenge.

Whether you call them goals, objectives, targets, the key is to look ahead at where you want to be years from now, then work backwards until you figure out what you need to do every year, month, week and day to get there.

My long term goal is to build my Avon business into a source of income for retirement so my husband and I can enjoy travel, home improvements, and time with family and friends.  While this is a big goal, I sit here today realizing that it is within reach.  I recently reached Ambassador level with Avon, which means I now earn small bonuses on the sales of my team, and I receive leads from Avon to help me build my team.

This privilege comes with the responsibility of mentoring my team members.  I sometimes forget what I needed as a new representative, so my challenge now is figuring out what type of support my team needs from me.

As I go forward in the "ANEW Year", I will be working on training components for new as well as seasoned Avon representatives.

And now that I have made this public, I will be held accountable for this part of my goal plan.

Update on Avon's ANEW Cleansing Micellar Water

June 25, 2019 Update:
Almost three years ago, Avon introduced Cleansing Micellar Water as part of the ANEW CLEAN line.  A few months ago, this wonder-cleanser was rebranded as part of the new HydraFusion line.  Still the same great product at an affordable price point.  In case you missed it, here's what I had to say about Micellar Water when Avon first introduced the ANEW CLEAN line of cleansers:

I was curious about the Micellar Cleansing Water.  I had never heard of micellar water before.  What is this liquid that cleanses, moisturizes and tones all at the same time?

After a little investigation, here's what I found:  Micellar water is a suspension of tiny cleansing molecules (micelles) in soft water.  It was invented as a facial cleanser and makeup remover many years ago in France, when fresh water was scarce.  It works best when applied to a cotton pad, and is gentle enough for sensitive skin.  It removes mascara without irritating the eye area.  

Over the past few years, micellar water has become popular in many other countries, and is now sold in the USA.  True to the brand, Avon's version of micellar water is of high quality at an affordable price point.  

Here's the official description from the Avon website:

This micellar cleansing water cleanses skin of dirt, oil and impurities, helps reinforce skin’s protective moisture barrier to keep skin feeling resilient, and preps skin to receive the optimal results for Anew moisturizers and treatments. Formulated with Isotonic Water Complex, it works to attract and maintain moisture so skin feels softer and more revitalized. 5 fl. oz.

BENEFITS • Effectively cleanses skin of makeup, dirt, oil and impurities
• Cleanses and maintains moisture, so skin feels softer
• Leaves skin looking and feeling renewed
• Helps skin appear more radiant
• Suitable for twice daily use and for all skin types 
• No water needed 
• Alcohol free and oil-free 
• Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic 
• Allergy-tested, dermatologist-tested and opthalmologist-tested 

TO USE • Saturate cotton pad and gently smooth over entire face and neck to cleanse in one easy step. No need to rinse off. Use daily, morning and evening.

Made in USA

Introduced in Campaign 15, 2016, Avon ANEW Micellar Cleansing Water is offered at a special price of $6.49 for a 5 oz. bottle.   Why not give it a try?  With Avon's 90 day money back guarantee, you can return it if you don't absolutely love it!

Now available as part of the HydraFusion line, ANEW Cleansing Micellar Water is offered at a regular price of $14.00 for a 10.1 oz. bottle, and for only $7.99 for a limited time.

Thoughts From The Morning After...a Successful Community AVON Event

Yesterday I had what I would define as a successful and satisfying day as an Avon representative.  I was referred to this event by my friend, Nykee, who is always on the lookout for ways to support my business.  This was a free event for local vendors at Freedom Toyota of Harrisburg.  Carson and Evelyn from Freedom Toyota did a great job of making the vendors feel welcome and comfortable. Selling Avon among the cars was interesting -  and effective.  I met some new people, saw a few people I already know, and had visits from family.

I think this was the 6th vendor show I have attended, and I'm proud to say that I've become more comfortable engaging visitors, and have tweaked my display to make it more interactive and fun.

Since the first show, I added a guess how many lipstick samples game, with prize awarded at the end of the show for the closest guess.  I also added a prize wheel.  It's a small wheel that I got on eBay for a low price, but it does the job, and attracts a lot of kids, young and old.  There are plenty of FREE samples and "Try-It" Kits.  Yesterday, for the first time, I set up my laptop to play YouTube videos about Avon products and the Avon Foundation. In the photo below, you can see the $15 Avon Representative Appointment Kit on display with a prize drawing for anyone who signs on during the event.

As I reflect on the day's earnings and experiences, I notice that my Avon Gel Finish manicure shows surprisingly few signs of wear, considering all the packing, loading, unloading I did yesterday and this morning.  

I could clean it all off and start over for the new 
week, but instead I think I will touch up the tips and add Avon Dazzlers glitter top coat!  Here are the before and after pics:



I used Gel Finish Nail Enamel in Glimmer, with Purplicious accent nail, and Dazzlers top coat in Disco Ball with Glitzy Gold on the accent nail. Looks like a party!

Ripping off my YouTube Band-Aid

It's about time.  I recorded my first Avon YouTube video in April of this year.  From then until today, I only shared it with two people who are close to me.  In the interim, Avon reformulated the Beyond Color Products featured in my video and discontinued one of the lipstick shades I used.  The video content is still relevant, and the discontinued shade, Terracotta, will probably be featured in the Avon Outlet brochure in the near future.

A few minutes ago, I changed the setting from "unlisted" to "public".  
This was extremely difficult, and in my mind, it felt like someone was ripping duck tape off my mouth instead of a band-aid from a healed wound.  I have been camera-shy for as long as I can remember, and a perfectionist with the expectations I hold for myself for even longer.

As I watched the video, I was stunned by how many times I uttered the syllable, "uh" and "umm".  I could hear my third grade teacher telling me that "uh" is not a word.  

Here are a few things I've learned from this first excursion into the world of YouTube:
1. I need to prepare a script or notes so I can avoid the hesitations and "uh"s.  
2. I made the most difficult type of video first - applying lipstick on camera while talking about it.  I think I could do a much better speaking job if I was not trying to multi-task.
3. I need to practice looking at the camera.

With all these caveats, I share this video with you, and ask for your honest and gentle feedback.
