As many of you know I have been working towards reducing my overall debt load. Once my daughter has finished her competitive dance season (AKA mortgage payment) in May I will be looking for a part time job. I have also put it out there that I would not be adverse to taking something permanent full time or contract in my field. So far both have been very productive. I have a couple of potential leads on jobs which will allow me to continue working freelance, and work part time which will give me a regular pay cheque. YAY!
I have also decided to sell Avon. I have always liked the product and think it is reasonably priced. It also gives me the opportunity to get out and socialize rather than hang out in my basement all day talking to my bunnies and my dogs. So needless to say if you need Avon products I am your woman. If not - I am still your friend;-)
I have had a long relationship with cosmetics. From the age of 10 I can recall playing with my mom's makeup and trying on her blue eye shadow and pink lipstick. I just loved to play with colour. Perhaps this is where my love for painting comes from for my canvas was once my own face.
Over the years I have enjoyed the feeling of transforming myself. Whether it was my gothic bat-caver days with my white make-up or when I decided to look very preppy in the 80's with my blue mascara and frosted lips - I always felt the metamorphosis was complete once my makeup was on.
Even now I continue to love makeup. Thanks to my nieces I find myself watching makeup geek and figuring out what different styles I can get away with without looking 'over the top'. I would love to do an extreme smokey eye but I have not built up the courage.
I am excited to start this new endeavor not just for the love of the product, or the opportunity to socialize with my fellow makeup geeks. Now I am DOING something about my finances and not just talking about it. It may not be much but the efforts are being made and I know eventually we will reclaim our financial stability and continue on to financial security.
You will definitely be my Avon lady. I love Avon and honestly some of their makeup is better than products you'll spend tons of money on -- for example their 2 dollar eye liner I find is one of the best out there for pencil liners. And their 2 dollar eye makeup remover is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with what you have said here. Avon may not be much, but it's something. You enjoy the product and more importantly, it gets you out there socializing with people -- meeting new people and making new contacts.
It's all of these little things that count the most to getting the ball rolling and most importantly, goal-direction actions and behaviour as well as open communication and a positive attitude which I am seeing all three of.
