Avon's newest colognes

Avon announced two colognes at Repfest2016 in August.

They are both in the warm spicy and chic category.

The first one was Prima that leaves thoughts of a ballerina.

Courtney Lavine is the spokeswoman and by looking 

at the bottle you see the pointe shoe.

NOTES:

Prima opens with lush top notes of plum, balancing its sweetness

 with a hint of tangy bergamot. Next, it unfolds to reveal a rich heart

 of intoxicating rose, a stunning blossom with ruffled pink petals that

 echo the folds of a dancer’s skirt. Finally, there’s a jeté torich

 clearwood, reminiscent of the satiny barres in a ballet studio, the

 woodsy note comes alive on skin, melding with oak moss and

 patchouli for a warm, poetically graceful finish.

The second cologne that was announced is

Little Red dress coming out for Valentines Day. It is related to

Little Black Dress a well known cologne that recently was returned at the behest of its many fans. Little Red Dress is refined, sensual, and sophisticated. Thos it is in the same 

class it stands out and very here I am but quickly slows down and 

becomes soft and quite.

NOTES: • Top Note: Red Raspberry
• Mid Note: Bulgarian Rose
• Dry Note: Red Sandalwood

You can't go wrong with either of these colognes. They have the cologne along with matching shower gel and body lotion to layer the fragrance to help them last longer. I get up in the morning and love to decide how I feel for the day and choose my fragrance. Dont forget you can check out these and other colognes here.

Avon's Utility Totes

  Avon's newest Handbags in Campaign 2 of 2017. It comes in two colors dark blue and a canvas green. I have both. I got the blue one first and loved it so much I got the green one.  This purse has pockets galore, eleven to be exact.
   Four with snaps on the outside. One that zips, and what's great is instead of it being a short shallow pocket like most outside zippered ones are, this one is deep. Almost the full depth of the other pockets. Inside there is a zippered pocket and 3 slip pockets along with 3 pen holders. It also has two side pockets great for things like a cell phone along with a cross body handle.
  You can use this as a diaper bag, gym bag, ordinary bag or use your imagination. Its great for women who don't want a girlie girlie purse but still need something to carry. I would love to hear what you come up with. If you love the handbags then go here and find these and other great #streetwear to add to your wardrobe.

Me first?

WE as women are trained to take care of others first before ourselves. But like the airplane oxygen mask rule we need to take care of ourselves first to be able to take care of others. We need to be happy and whole to be better women. So think what is the one thing you would do for yourself, if you had the money?

I ask you this because no matter what you do in life you need goals. A new house, a new car, a cruise to get away from the kiddos with your honey. These are all great goals and not the least bit selfish.

If someone told you to be better parents you needed to spend time with your spouse you wouldn't think twice. So I say to be a better wife, mother, woman you need to do something to pamper yourself.

One of the questions we use to ask when we enrolled people into Avon was if you had 1,000 what would you do for yourself. We see women want something for their kids their spouses and their family. It was very rare to see things like a spa visit, shopping spree or anything else. More often you would see College fund for the kids, a new house or anything else that was for everyone but themselves.

So what are YOUR goals in life?

Strong women and Avon

Avon has partnered with Sofia Vergara to come up with a new Cologne called So very Sofia. This cologne has the following notes: passion fruit and Flor de Maya Orchid [the national flower of Columbia] and base notes of herbal patchouli. 
Sofia loves what Avon does for women. We represent strength, empowerment and independence. And we love her for the same reason. Meg Lerner, Vice President of North America Beauty and Fashion & home for Avon said: “She truly believes in encouraging women to not only dream big, but to turn those dreams into a reality. That same belief is at the very heart of everything we do at Avon. Her drive and creativity absolutely speak to Avon’s mission of empowerment.”
Avon has had a girlmance with Sofia and many other strong women including, Irma Shayaka. Olivia Wilde, Reese Witherspoon, Paula Abdul and Fergie. I'm sure Avon works with these strong women because that's what we want to be like. Its a reminder of who we are and what we can become.
That's why we talk about our Why and what we truly want to become with Avon.
Avon is also currently partnering with Suze Orman. Avon isn't just about strength and independence but also about how to grow your wealth. And you can work all day long but if you don't have a plan to grow your business and your wealth you won't move forward.
Avon has been all about strength and independence for 130 years. Being the first company that saw the vision for women working for themselves back in 1886 when the California Perfume Company was started and Mrs. Albie became the first door to door woman salesperson to each of the strong women who have opened their virtual doors to their own Avon business.
If you want to join the company of strong women no matter if just to make a little extra money or to become big and successful like many of the Representatives then click on the button to the right and use the code theavonlady0.

What is a hashtag

People talk about using hashtags on their posts but the question is, where do you find them and how do you use them?
First of all #hashtags help group posts together on the same subject . For instance if you want to read about the convention going on in Las Vegas you would look up #Avonrepfest16 and anyone who had made a post and wanted it to be included for people to find will post the with that #hashtag.Other examples are #manicmonday or #tbthursday.
If you wonder where to find hashtags there are many ways to look for them. You can go to google and  look for instance  hashtags for lipstick. You might find :hashtags for red lipstick, 10 twitter hashtags popular for lipstick, or lipstick hashtag.
You could also go to twitter and find out which hashtags are trending on that day and use them in your project.
You can go to hashtags.org to find hashtags for your project. You can join free or pay for better access by tracking your hashtags you use.

I use hashtags when i write my blogs, when I write ads or posts, or when I want to find out informations.  Hashtags are used on instagram, twitter, google plus or want t any number of social media platforms. If you want to get your name out or more information to write your assignments are the #hash tags are perfect. So go out and explore hashtags and have fun trying the,

But I don't know anything about how to become an Avon Lady

I know how important Avon is to me. My ex- business partner June and my District Manager Terri Clark both without I wouldn't be able to do what I do. I have said before my goal is to become an SEUL and I know many people have helped me thus far. My hope is that coming to me or someone else on Facebook isn't a stumbling block for anyone's success. 
Sometimes it may seem like you're not making lots of money but that is why you have me, and all the other training Avon provides. They also, as you notice, give you four campaigns to begin your business and give you 40% on your sales. Doing some of the things they ask of you may seem silly or stupid, but remember how long they have been in business and how many successful representatives they have. The two most important things they ask of you is writing up your friends list and setting your goals. Your friends list is a resource you can always look back to and your goals  are something to help keep you looking forward. So when it starts getting hard look at your children, your home, your job or whatever is your motivation and then look forward and keep going.
Avons many training options are Avon University, your district Manager, your district page, your team leader, all the different seminars available, the many Avon groups on facebook. As you can see they want you to have everything you need to be successful.
Being an Avon rep can be a hard business if you dont take as much of the training as possible. It would be like walking in and taking a final and failing because you only know some of the things related to the class.
Remember this is your own business. What you get out of it and how successful you are depends on what you put into it. If you ask anyone who is successful what kind of training they did while they were building their business and they would say whatever they could find.
Here is a quote from an Muhammed Ali that really sums it all up. 
I hated every minute of training, but I said "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life a champion"
