Introducing Espira

This is breaking news for health-conscious AVON fans everywhere. They just launched a completely new product called Espira. This is a nutritional supplement designed to  cleanse your system and power up your metabolism. There's even a product in the group to curb hunger if that has been an issue. 

As taken from Avon's website Espira is explained as "A customized health and wellness line formulated with ingredients to boost and sustain your natural energy, restore your radiance and support your overall health.† Experience results you can see and feel." To see the entire description and full information, click here.

There's four products in the Metabolism Boost System:

Ideal Cleanse
Metabolism Boost
Hunger Block 
Plant Power Protein



Ideal Cleanse is a three day regimen to cleanse your system and boost your metabolism. They come with AM and PM capsules. The AM capsules have botanical extracts such as dandelion to help boost your body's natural cleansing process.  The PM capsules are filled with soluable fibers to help flush you out. What I love about this is that it comes with a guide to healthy eating tips. If you are doing the whole system, this would be step 1.

Step two is the Meatbolism Boost. This is a plant based capsule with geen tea and cocoa beans to help boost your metabolism.

Step three is the Hunger Block. The natural fiber in these capsules can absorb up tp 50 times its weight in water, which in turn will help you feel full. 

Finally, step four is the Plant Power Protein shakes. With one scoop in 10-12 oz of water you can create this protein shake in Chocolate and Vanilla. This is filled with ingredients such as proteins from quinoa, yellow peas and globe artichokes.

If you are interested, but unsure if you want to invest in a full size, I can order trial sizes for you at $5.00 a package. And for those that absolutely love this line, they have an auto replenish feature which will automatically send out your monthly supply.  There are some other Espira lines in the works, but since energy is something that many of us struggle with, this may be something to look into. 

However, I can't stress enough that if you have chronically low energy, you should be seen by your doctor.  My low energy was due to my underactive thyroid, so even if this was out when I was feeling that way, I'm not sure it would have helped.

Christmas Traditions

No makeup blog today. It's all holidays on my mind this week.

So, tell me. What are some of your Christmas Traditions? With the holiday coming up in just a few short days, I've already begun some of them.

First, the decorating. Every year I start the day after Thanksgiving. I didn't go all out this year and my 4 cats have ensured the Christmas Tree stays underdecorated.

Then came the Elf. I'm lucky enough to have TWO lovely elves. One for my classroom and one for home. Here are just a few pics:

Jingles found a poster

Jingles used up my last Frosty stickers!

Okay, this Jingles was allowed to do. She's reading the book I wrote, A Star in the Night

This next tradition, making struffoli, is in the books as well. Struffoli is an Itallian holiday desert made of fried dough pieces dipped in honey and covered in sprinkles. We make quite a few and have several to give away as gifts.

So go ahead and share with us what  some of your holiday traditions are. Let us know in the comments!

Have a great Holiday season! Campaign 3 starts Dec 27th!

Congrats Christmas Party Winners

Congratulations to all the winners at my AVON Christmas Party! 

Thank you to all who joined, liked, shared, commented and showed interest in my AVON Christmas party that I held on my Facebook Page December 8.  

We played a few games, discussed some make up topics, and answered some questions.  The best part of all was getting to know more about my customers and their friends. 

With games and contests, there comes winners. So without further delay here is the breakdown of the prizes won that night.

  

The winner of the Pick a Number game won The Skin So Soft Hand Cream (valued at $4.00).  

The winner of the New Sign Up contest won a full size of Skin So Soft Body Oil. (Valued at $20.00) 

There were no winners for the A Box or lotions, but maybe next time.  Again thank you for all of your participation. Remember I'm always a call, text, or FB message away. 

Tell me what you think. If you were to go to one of the AVON virtual parties, what are some prizes you would like to see offered? Let me know in the comments. 

Holiday Wish Lists C-26 Picks

What is on your wish list this holiday season?  Avon has some pretty good options, especially if there are last minute gifts. There's so much more to the catalogs than the typical make up.  As you flip from cover to cover of any brochure, you will see skin care for every type, fashionable clothes and shoes, awesome accessories from mark., and all types of bath and body items.

The best addition they have is their Avon Living line. There's household items from decorations, kitchen items, CANDLES (I love candles!) and several options of knick knacks for the home.

With all there is to go through, I decided to have a series in this blog pointing out things that have caught my eye. Below are some of  my favorite Campaign 26 picks.

Last Minute Gift:

Skin So Soft Wintersoft Collection, $14
This 3-piece gift set  includes Nourishing Hand Cream, Nourishing Body Cream and Hydrating Body Wash.  The weather here is already starting to take a toll on my skin, so this is a must have.



Candles $12  

AVON has great scents just for the season. With names like Sparkling Champagne, Fig and Chestnut,  and Praline Latte, you are bound to come out as a winner with this one.





Fragrance:  Haiku $12.99

You can't go wrong with perfume. My favorite right now is the new Haiku Reflection. It has a soft, sweet scent to it that is not overpowering. It has a very elegant feel to it.





Eyes: Glimmersticks $4.99

These are my alltime favorites. The soft tip of the eyeliner goes on smooth and there are many color choices. I love the ones with a little extra sparkle such as Diamonds Teal Sparkle and Twilight Sparkle. The best thing is they usually go for $7-$8, but are currently going for $4.99.




Purple Peace Messaging Bangle
These are beautiful bracelets with inspiring messages that are not only the perfect accessory, but they support women. I love that 20% of the proceeds of any of these products goes directly the AVON Foundation for Women where theyfund the Speak Out Against Domestic Violence programs around the country.

New Blog Intro: Yes, I started another blog

 Yep. I did it. I set up another blog. Some of my other blogs I post less frequently. I like to only post when I have something to say. With this blog, I shouldn't have an issue with posting, since this will be all about my AVON business.

So what should you look for other than me raving about a product?  While I will be having featured produts often, I will also provide you with some make-up tips, articles on our causes, and hopefully interviews. I'll also be blogging about my personal experiences with AVON and the products. And if you feel like something is missing or there's something you want to hear about, let me know!

Be sure to spread the word about the blog. If you visit my Facebook page, there is a contest going on where you can win two full size bottles of Skin So Soft Bath Oil.  We are nearing the end of the holiday campaign - Campaign 26.  Be sure to place any holiday orders with me by Tuesday evening (11/26/17) or you can order anytime at my AVON store.
