Helping Hands

I hope that you have had a wonderful Christmas and you are preparing for the best year you have ever had in 2016. I don't always make resolutions when the new year comes around, but I'm making a few this year, some of which I am beginning to work on now. That gives me almost a week's head start on my goals! :)  

One of my plans is to declutter this house. In the process of sorting through some of my old Avon materials I came across my Beauty Advisor training materials from 2002. Since I had on my TeuxDeux list to write a blog post about nails and how to do a proper manicure, finding a good outline for a manicure in my BA materials has prompted me to write that today. So, from Avon and with my own tweaks and additions, here is:

How to Give Yourself a Weekly Manicure

1. Shape nails, filing in one direction to prevent damage. A good rule on length is to not allow your nail tip to grow longer than a third of the length of the part of your nail on your finger bed. And as far as shape goes, the tip should echo the base, which is a squared oval for most people. Do not file down the sides of the nail as this will weaken it. Leave old nail polish on while filing to help protect the nail. Tip: Have you tried crystal nail files? I love them! You will have to invest a little more for a good one, but they last for years as long as you are careful not to drop them on a tile or concrete floor.

2. Soak a cotton ball with nail polish remover and press and hold onto nail for a few seconds then wipe. Allowing the remover to soak into the polish makes it easier to remove in one wipe. Tip: I recommend non-acetone remover. It should only take you a few seconds longer to remove the polish than remover with acetone and it is easier on your nails.

3. Soak hands in warm water for 3-5 minutes. Adding a few drops of Avon Naturals Shower Gel to the water will give you a truly gentle and relaxing hand soak.  

4. Massage hand cream into cuticle area and gently push the cuticle back with an orange stick. Do not cut cuticles, because this can leave them weak and possibly allow bacteria to get into the open skin. 

5. Wash hands gently with warm water and towel-dry. Allow nails several minutes to completely dry. If you plan to wear nail enamel continue with step 6. If you prefer the natural look of bare nails, skip to step 10.

6. Apply a Base Coat to nails to prevent staining the nail with nail enamel. This is particularly important if you use a darker more intense nail enamel. Allow the base coat to dry for 5 minutes before you...

7. Apply Nail Enamel. Brush one stripe down the center of the nail from base to tip, then brush one stroke on either side, avoiding the nail edges. This application makes fingers look slender and avoids the need to use remover to take excess polish off the skin around your nails. For best results apply two coats of enamel. Tip: If you do need to remove nail enamel from skin, wrap a tiny piece of cotton around the tip of a toothpick and dip into a small amount of remover poured into the lid of the bottle and use to go around your nail. 

8. Apply a Top Coat for longer-lasting wear. 

9. Let nails dry thoroughly--at least 20 minutes.

10. Apply Cuticle Gel Remover and a protective hand cream. Avon has several ones to choose from, including these customer favorites: Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing and Repair or Silicone Glove Protective Hand Cream.

11. To keep your manicure and your hands looking great, use protective gloves when washing dishes or doing other heavy cleaning. Exfoliate dead skin once a week and slather on hand cream several times a day. Tip: Avon FootWorks scrub and Clearskin scrub are great for exfoliating hands too!

C25 & C26 Cloud Climbers Newsletter

This is the newsletter I send to my downline to report on how we are doing each campaign. With a new year comes a new time to consider starting your own business. Why not see if Avon is the perfect fit for you?

Holiday Greetings!

Because Avon has done a speed up on the campaigns at the end of the year, we have closed out C26 before I've gotten the C25 newsletter done. Therefore, I'm going to speed up my own reporting and combine the last two campaigns of the year into this one newsletter.

Cheryl Webb received a 1st Campaign Bundle and banked $20 for having an order of over $100 in the Hit $100 Challenge. Congratulations Cheryl!

There were 2 Cloud Climbers with direct delivery orders at their eStores in C26: Barbie Breen and Rene Parker.

Happy Birthday to Gladys Faulk, Susanne Walters, Tawana Frails, and Lois Johnson - all celebrating in December. Lois was a New Year's Eve baby many years ago.

We only have one Cloud Climber with an Avon Anniversary in December and that is Suheidy Colon, who is celebrating her 3rd anniversary as an Avon Lady. Congratulations, Suheidy! I hope to have you continue on our team for many more years. Perhaps you will one day be celebrating your 30th anniversary, as I will be in 2017.

We don't have any new team members to report, but I'm hoping that with the new year there will be some people who decide to "bite the bullet" and finally start their own direct sales business and that they will choose Avon. After all, we do have the best one! In fact, I believe this would be a good day to re-post my blog about the Avon business to my FB business page. If any of you are inclined to let your own friends and acquaintances know about the business, I would very much appreciate any help you can give toward building our team. I imagine by now most of you have read about the changes coming to Avon in 2016. It should be a good year for us and a good year for others to join us. In case you have forgotten, you can recommend anyone through a link when you sign into www.youravon.com and you can also tell anyone to go to startavon.com and enter your code, which is the last part of your eStore URL after the /, and they can start themselves online and you will get credit for them as your recruit.

While I'm waiting on my C1 order to come today, I think I shall go out and get my almost last minute Christmas shopping done. I do a lot of my shopping online, some of it through myself of course, but there are a few things that I need to buy locally so I'm finally going to get that done. I'm a "I hate to shop" person, so I don't tackle the crowds unless I absolutely have to! I'd better do it today, because I'll be very busy getting those last minute orders out to my customers tomorrow and Thursday morning. Then it's Christmas and I'll be having fun!! I'm praying you will have a very Merry Christmas with your family and friends, and safe journeys if you are traveling.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I know there is no need to ask if you are busy right now, because we are ALL busy right now! For most of us it's a fun type of busy as we prepare for and enjoy holiday gatherings with friends and family. For those of us in the Avon business, we are busily trying to make sure we meet all of our customers' expectations for holiday gift giving as well as getting ready for our own fun and frolicking. Speaking of frolicking, here is one of my favorite holiday tunes done in an impressive way by our local Huntsville Youth Orchestra. Click the pic and sit back and enjoy!

Merry Christmas!!
