Hey there!  Thanks for stopping by! 

Since you are here, I thought I would share with you, my top three reasons for selling AVON. 



1. It allows me to "work" with my daughter, and my mother for that matter. 

You see, AVON is a bit of a Family Business for us.  My Mom got started with AVON some time ago and I had been working as her "helper."  About a month ago my husband and I decided that it was time to stop "helping" and instead to start DOING! 
So I signed up under my Mom and we have had a great time cheering one another on so far.  Plus an added benefit is  that this gives me a way to earn money and spend time with my little girl. My daughter is three and LOVES to go to "work" with Mommy.  She loves to get out and meet all of our neighbors, give out fliers and books, and just get out and have some "girl time."

2. I use the products myself. 

I LOVE make-up, although if you know me very well, that probably makes you laugh. 
I usually have anywhere from three to five kids running around my house at any given time, so putting on ALL of my make-up everyday is NOT a priority for me. 
However, I still love to play!  There are those rare times when my husband and I get to have a night out, or on Sundays' for church, that I get out the whole make-up bag, instead of just the standard mascara, blush and lip gloss. ( I actually love the skincare MORE than the make-up, ask me about it, I'll gladly SHOW you)

3.  I'm a stay-at-home Mom.  

I know this sounds like a "well, duh" moment, but hear me out.   Like I mentioned above, we have anywhere from three to five kids running around our house at any given time, so daycare is not really an option for us.  Don't get me wrong, I could go and work for 12 dollars an hour somewhere and MAYBE bring home $25 - $75 dollars at the end of the pay period.  After you figure up daycare for at least three kids, gas to and from daycare to work and then back to home, it does not leave you with much at the end of the day. 
AVON is a great remedy for that.  Most of what I do is legwork (which does double duty when I have my Curves Toning Sandals on!) so gas isn't an issue.   My kids love to help me pass out books on the way to the park, and who doesn't want to have their Mom or Aunt as their babysitter? ( Depends on the child in question, if you want to know more about that one, just ask, I'll probably tell you!)
And most of all, the price was just right!   I started my AVON business for $10.  Yes, I said $10, Ten DOLLARS! 
If you think that staying home sounds good, or you want to just supplement your income so that you can have some extra spending money at the end of the month... I haven't even gotten into the TAX BREAKS!!!!  Give me a call, I'll even come to you with our District Manager or my Mom which ever you prefer! 

( Yeah, I'm a chatter box... I've been told)

Thanks for getting through my Top Three.  Let me help you discover your Top Three too!
