Avon's Repfest 2019!

Finley the Fox, 2019's Stuffed Animal Fundraiser

In my last post, I mentioned that Repfest was this past weekend. It is a celebration of the achievements for the last year, a learning tool to help better your Avon business, and a great way to meet up with old friends and make new ones in the Avon world. My favorite things last year were meeting new friends, meeting old friends in person for the first time, getting free stuff (who doesn't like free stuff?), and the Product Expo.

Almost 2 Months Later...

A lot has been going on for us, and a lot hasn't been going on. I've taken a short break from Avon because I was starting to get depressed about it, my anxiety was going through the roof because of my "helper" not listening, and I haven't been able to keep my head straight when it came to it. It's been a couple of months since I posted here or talked on the team Facebook page, but I had to distance myself to get my mind back where I need it to be to do it. I also

What's in the Works for Joining Avon!

New Avon is doing a lot of stuff for USA representatives right now, and some stuff for customers. You can learn more about some of those things in this post. But they decided they just couldn't leave out those who are thinking about becoming a new Avon Representative. Now, NONE of this information is official. They are letting bits and pieces out, but until Avon puts something in writing, this is all speculation and hear say.

What did you say? Avon is going digital?!

That's right folks. Avon has decided to step into the 21st century and offer you the opportunity to buy online and to sign up to sell online! Not only can you shop our online stores, you can browse our brochure online, and soon you will be able to sign up online to sell without having to wait on your kit and brochures to come in. While you have been able to sign up online, shop our online stores, and browse our brochures online for a while, Avon is now making it a point for us to make sure we get the word out there to let everyone know!

Week of Fun, Spoilage, and Relaxing

There was a lot going on this past week. It was also a good week thanks to it all.

Tuesday

For me, I don't ask for much because there isn't much I actually want. Any time I want something, I have been blessed with a family who come through for me and get it for me even if I don't ask for it. With all the crap that has been going on around here this year, they still don't make an exception.

On Tuesday after I had made my last post, a package came in for my brother. I happen to be getting ready to leave and texting with a customer when the FedEx driver showed up, so I grabbed the box, put it in the car and took off. I took note that the bottom of the box was slightly open, let my brother know about it, and moved on because I didn't really have time for it since I had just decided to stop by and see my customer before picking up Midget, and it was almost 2:30.

Vintage Market Days and State Band Competition

I don't know about you, but my weekend was absolutely full this weekend. I won tickets to the Lexington Vintage Market Days, so I went both Saturday and Sunday with my daughter. My son got to join us Sunday since he was home. Saturday night, I went to Kroger Stadium to watch my son and his band march in the State Band Finals. Busy feels like it an understatement of how my weekend was.

State Band Competition

Saturday was full of different things to do. Midget had to be at school early so they could practice for semifinals and finals of the state band competition that day. I missed the first performance, but made it for the second. The parking lot was full. There were a lot of people there watching and cheering on their bands. Madison Central's parents and supports showed up red lights in hand, routing, cheering, and shouting for this great group of kids. There were 252 students on the field and in the pit, and they did an excellent job. It had been a while since I had seen a full marching band show, and this one brought back memories.

Starting off Slow and Finishing the Day Strong

Today has been another interesting day for me. I started out sluggish thanks to not going to bed on time again. Once I finally got going today, the day got busy and I haven't really stopped.

The first good thing that happened is that Avon announced Online Fundraising! I am so happy that we have access to this now. I feel like I will be able to help organizations a lot better because there isn't any flyers, no collecting money, no work for the most part aside from registering the fundraiser, spreading the word about the link, very minimal paperwork, and handing over the check when it is done. This is super exciting and I can't wait to be able to get my first one started.
