Cool Confidence

Hello! I just wanted to do a review on one of the most amazing products by AVON that I have found so far. ( I just started, so I am sure there will be tons more!)

Let me start by saying, as a teenager I tried roll-on deodorant and did not really care for it. I just remember it was gross and wet. I have never tried another one and never planned on it! In an attempt to start replacing all of my personal items with AVON brand, I decided to give the AVON roll-on anti-persperant and deodorant a try. Let me tell you, I did NOT have high hopes! Come on now, it's only $.99, how good could it really be??

I decided to give it a try the morning after my box of AVONy goodness arrived. I opened it up and thought, Yep this is what I remember! After I put it on, I was sort of shocked.....It dried pretty fast and it was not gross!! Ok - that hurdle jumped, so far, it's not gross. BUT, come one, again how good can a $.99 deodorant really be?? Right?

Well, here is another example of when I should have taken my Mother's advice. Don't judge a book (or deodorant) by its cover (or price!!). This stuff is AMAZING! Several times throughout the day, I would get a whiff of powdery freshness. I am now a supporter of the roll-on deodorant! (AVON only, of course. hehe) If you have ever even thought about switching over to AVON deodorant, DO IT. It is inexpensive and it really works!

Well, thanks for reading and I hope you continue to follow me and enjoy reading about my adventures in AVON.

First Days as an Avon Rep

So much has change but so much is still the same. Avon has really come a long way since the day of "ding dong, Avon calling".

I am very excited to get busy building my new business as an Independant Sales Rep for Avon. Gone are the days of territories and now, as an Independant Rep, we are open to sell to anyone, anywhere! You can beat the pavement, sell strickly online or a combination of both. Me? I'm going to do both.

Avon has really done a great job of giving the Reps tools to succeed starting with a website. Reps get their very own website that is so user friendly that anyone can use it. The great thing about the website is that customers from anywhere in the US (they are globally too) can log into my site and order. The customer can then have their products shipped directly to them! How great is that?

Visit my shop and you can have FREE SHIPPING on orders over $30. Enter promo code FS30REP.

For those who are not so comfortable with online purchases, there is still the one on one ordering system where the Rep comes to their home and gives them a brochure. I personally like to touch stuff I am looking at. There is still something nice about that personal touch you can give a customer when you are dealing with them one on one. It is much easier to give great customer service. To go above and beyond, so to speak.

Well, for now, I have 2 customers signed up online and several ready to order offline from my first campaign. We'll see where it goes from there!!

IRON MAN 2

Last night (Monday, May 10th) me and my BF got a rare night out and decided to go see the much anticipated Iron Man 2 movie. We love Iron Man in our house. The first movie was awesome.

I think that in comparision to the first Iron Man movie, it was not as good. With that being said, I think that Iron Man 2 was a GREAT movie! It did not dissapoint in special effects and story line. In fact, it would have been nice if they would have been able to elaborate on some of the story lines. Including, more about dear old Dad, Howard and his old partner. There was a little explanation but there could have been more. Also, I would have like to see more from S.H.I.E.L.D. They did not really go into how the arc reactor would have created world peace, just that it could. (maybe I missed that part). However, it was a long enought movie and had they explored more of any story line, it would have been a six hour movie.

There was some hype about the dynamics between the lovely Pepper, Natalie/Natashia and Tony. I just didn't feel any real romantic dynamic. Natalie/Natashia seemed standoffish and Pepper was just mad at Tony for most of the movie (which she should have been, he was acting like an ass).

I really hated the scene where Roady and Tony were fighting, but LOVED the scenes where they were fighting together.

Ivan Vanko was a great character and Mickey Rourke played it better than anyone else could have. (I weirdly loved the hair!) Having him locked away to work on something for someone else seemed really familier (BECAUSE THEY DID THAT IN IRON MAN ALREADY!). I really hate when sequals repeat things like that. He was supposed to improve the Iron Man suit and low and behold he was really working on something for himself. That was a little dissapointing. I really did love the droids he came up with!

In summation, I loved IM 2 and will probably buy it. It is a great stand alone movie. I say GO SEE IT!
