Avon's New Collagen Boosting Collection

 

Collagen - the protein that gives our skin its strength and helps keep it firm - begins to break down as we age, leading to those dreaded wrinkles and sagging jowls. Elastin is also a protein found in the skin that helps it retain its shape. When elastin is damaged, our skin loses its ability to "bounce back," resulting in a loss of firmness. Ever wake up with deep creases in your cheek that take hours to go away? I say "Oh He** NO!" to that! 

Did you know that the natural aging process starts in our mid-20s??? Yikes!!! 

Intrinsic aging comes from genetics, so look to your mom and grandma for clues on your aging process.

Extrinsic aging is caused by external factors that we can control - i.e., sun exposure, pollution, stress, dehydration, smoking, lack of sleep.

Avon to the rescue!

The innovative new Isa Knox Anew Clinical Collagen Booster collection will help rebuild your collagen and give your skin a more youthful appearance! Think....FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH!

Keeping Track of Campaign Tasks for Avon Representatives

During my three and a half years of being an Avon Representative, I've tried many methods of staying organized and remembering all the tasks I want to accomplish during each two-week campaign. At first, it wasn't too hard -- place my order on a certain day, it comes in on a certain day, I put the orders together and call my customers to schedule deliveries and add those to my calendar (both paper planner and phone calendar, because at 60+, I tend to forget things - like looking at my planner. So, the added bonus of the phone notifications is really helpful).

As my business and my team grew, more and more chores were added to my bi-weekly schedule. I was using Campaign Mailer to send out brochures. I was trying to keep up with posting to social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Google) on a regular basis, as well as blogging. I was following up with team members and sending out emails to them. I was actively recruiting. All this and more, and keeping my orders straight too.

I was forgetting things, and I was inconsistent with the things I should be doing every campaign to keep my business growing and thriving.

I have a traditional paper planner book, which I love -- but writing down every task in the book every two weeks was too much, as was adding them to my phone as tasks. I don't know about you, but my phone will remind me once of a task on the list, and then it's out of sight, out of mind. And I didn't want to jam up my phone by putting every task in as a calendar event every two weeks.

I tried creating a chart in Excel, but that only works if you actually look at it. Truthfully, I'm a little scattered these days. I'm one of those people who will be in the basement office and need a light bulb, go upstairs to get said light bulb, grabbing finished laundry to take upstairs with me, put the laundry away, go to the bathroom while I'm up there, notice that the dog's blanket is all messed up and fix it, on the way back downstairs stop in the kitchen and grab a piece of candy and a bottle of water, and go back down to my office - without a light bulb. I don't know what happened, because I spent 25 years as a secretary and was one of the most organized people on the planet. Well, that may be an exaggeration, but I was pretty darn good at keeping all the balls in the air for multiple people. So it's frustrating to say the least.

Anyway, one day I saw online somewhere that someone had a simple dry-erase family chore chart, and BAM! That was it! The perfect solution. I got a small one with the days of the week on it (which I overwrote with seven campaign numbers) and ten lines for chores. It also has all the little stars, circles, and hearts to mark your stuff done. I wrote in my recurring tasks and sat it right in front of my face, next to my computer, so I can't not see it staring at me every day. And I have been on task with everything every campaign! Yay!!!

I got my little chore chart on Amazon for less than $7.00. But you can find them anywhere - Staples, Walmart, etc. Such a simple thing, and so incredibly helpful! And the nice thing is, you can add or change your list as necessary.

All this is YOURS for just $10 with any $40 purchase in Campaigns 20 and 21, 2020 at www.joyoflipstick.com! (online sale dates September 1 - 28) 

If you've never purchased an A-Box before, you are missing out on some GREAT values! A new A-Box is introduced about every two campaigns or once a month, and it's a great way to try out new products at a fraction of the price. Each box is worth at least four times what you pay, and no subscription is necessary! Plus, there are no disappointing surprises - you see what you're getting before you order it. Just get the ones that interest you. 

Side note: Before I joined Avon three years ago, I used to subscribe to one of the popular beauty subscriptions for about $10 a month. I filled out their preferences questionnaire, indicating that I am in my 60s, yet they sent me makeup with glitter in it that I would never use. They also sent me the same exact highlighter stick in two different boxes with two different designer labels on it, and about every other monthly box had brown eye shadow in it. Really? How many brown eye shadows do they think one person needs??? But I digress.

Remember, this box is only available through September 28, 2020!

See it here!

*Note: If you are viewing this post after September 28, 2020, go to www.joyoflipstick.com and type A Box into the search box to see the most current A-Box offering.
