How To Save Money All The Way To President's Club With Avon!

I'm following up to my previous post about achieving President's Club level sales while saving money on products you or your family uses every day.  Here are a few more of my favorite ideas:

1.  Avon "Senses" Bubble Bath.  Even if you don't take tub baths, Avon Bubble Bath can save you money.  I use it as a household cleaner - less than a cap-ful to a bucket of water - and you have the best solution for mopping floors.  I also use it as a laundry detergent.  1 cap-ful for small loads or soft water, 2 caps for large loads or hard/well water.  If you stock up on bubble bath when it is offered at a special price in the What's New, it costs less than Tide, and works just as well. My favorite is the Endless Ocean scent.  It makes my house and laundry smell like a resort spa.

2. Use a daily skin care regimen.  With access to samples, you can try all the treatment and moisturizer products at a reasonable price until you find the perfect products that work for you.  Every few campaigns, Avon offers ANEW skin care products in the What's New brochure with exclusive 30-50% savings for representatives.

3. Find a must-have product that you can't live without, like the Beyond Color Lip Conditioner.  It's like a lip balm PLUS!  There is nothing like it to protect lips from chapping and cracking.

4. Make sure to always have our signature product, Skin-So-Soft Bath Oil on hand.  I always have a couple spray bottles in my home for moisturizing skin as well as the "unauthorized" uses.  It keeps bugs away while I'm working outside.  It also removes the glue from price labels.

5. Use Avon's Insect Repellents for your more intensive outdoor activities. Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Plus IR3535 is a 2-in-1 Bug Repellent and Sunscreen.

What five (or more) products will you stop buying from retail stores, and start buying from yourself to pave the way to President's Club?

Making Friends with Avon: Part 3

Social Media has made it possible for many of us to find and re-connect with long lost friends.
I am so thankful for this opportunity to reminisce about old times, and even more grateful to be
able to make new memories.

One of my friends from high school is a chemist by profession, and brings a scientific
mindset to his enthusiasm for analyzing and appreciating fragrance. About 4 years ago, through facebook, I discovered his blog, Colognoisseur. I collected current Avon fragrances for men and
women, and sent them to him for review. While communicating about Avon perfume, we started
to catch up on the thirty-plus years since we had seen each other, and eventually made plans to meet.

We have now had several enjoyable visits and chats over meals, including our spouses, and I'm pretty sure that never would have happened without Avon.

Making Friends with Avon: Part 2


I restarted my Avon business in May of 2013.  At that time I had a wonderful neighbor of 4 years.  My husband had been her neighbor and friend for 14 years.  We visit her and her husband often during the Summer when it's nice weather to sit on the front porch, and she has looked after our home and pets when we travel.

In the Winter, months could go by without a visit or talk.  All that changed
when I brought her my first Avon brochure.  She shared her book with her
family members, and had orders for me every campaign!  Avon became
the excuse to reach out at least once a week.  I know that we shouldn't need
to have an excuse to nurture friendships, but sometimes life gets in the way.

Now I have another Avon "helper", AND more importantly, I have a friend!

Making Friends with Avon: Part 1

Back in 1990, when I became an AVON representative for the first time, my main motivation was to make and save some money without spending time away from my children. I had recently moved to a new town, and didn't have any local friends. I signed up and received my starter kit from a woman named Marion, who seemed to have more cats than I had local acquaintances. Marion told me all about her Mrs. Albee figurines, about how important it was to have many "helpers", and assured me that if she could succeed in AVON, that I could, too. I left her home feeling more confused than confident, but I was excited to begin something new. I had 10 brochures for the current campaign, and a few pieces of new representative information. 

During the following week, I shared my brochures with a neighbor, my immediate family, and a couple I met. To my surprise, one of my new acquaintances called me in a few days to give me orders from people at her workplace totaling over $100. This is something that continued every campaign for a couple years. I gave her a discount on her own order, and shared new products with her to reward her for the business she brought me. Through the course of those phone calls and order deliveries, we began talking about our lives and our children, and supported each other as single parents. 

This was the beginning of something important I learned about AVON, and about myself. This business is about high quality products that are fairly priced, that everyone can use, and that anyone can sell. More importantly, this business is about sharing the products and the opportunity with great people.

As I grew my business, I progressed from sales to recruiting new representatives. My first team member became such a good friend she brought me home cooked meals and watched my kids when I was sick.   


The first couple of years in business with Avon grew friendships that provided support and relief from the loneliness of relocation.  And I realized that the Avon business is not just about great beauty products, it is about the people I meet, and the friends I find.

Why I Use a Serum Under Moisturizer, and What You're Missing If You Don't

My "serum story" begins at Avon Repfest in Nashville, August 2017. I have used ANEW eye, day and night creams consistently for decades. Every once in a while. when Avon would introduce a treatment serum, I would try it, usually in place of my night cream. I wouldn't notice a difference, and I would go back to the night cream. It just didn't make sense to me to add a treatment product under a moisturizer that already had so many benefits.

Over the years, as the ravages of time and sun have made their marks on my face, I've developed some persistent dry skin patches on my nose and cheeks. No matter what products I used, they stayed, challenging the application of makeup with their flaking. I even had them checked by a doctor to make sure they weren't more disastrous.

In my Repfest "Swag Bag", I received some trial sizes of the ANEW Power Serum. And, in one of my training classes, makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan shared using the Power Serum to smooth the skin before makeup. So, that night, and twice a day for the rest of my trip, I used the serum under my moisturizer. I didn't notice a difference right away, but by the time I got home 3 days later, there were NO dry patches on my face!

It's been a couple years since I went to Repfest. I have continued using the serum twice daily under my ANEW moisturizers, and even during the dry Winter months have had no return of those pesky dry patches. Since that time, Avon has introduced a few more serums, so there is now a product for everyone, regardless of age or skin type.
