New "Count Me In" Incentive


Have you been with AVON 9 Campaigns or more and did not make Premier level? That’s ok! This incentive is for you!


It’s not for representatives who have earned Premier or President’s Club this year but anyone who is a Contender, no matter how long they have been with AVON.

The incentive period is from Campaign 11 through Campaign 18 (April 28th to August 17th 2021)

If you were a representative last year (2020) between Campaigns 11 and 18, then your goal is going to be 10% above your sales totals from last year during those campaigns, in order to start earning the FREE PRODUCTS.

So, if you were selling last year between Campaigns 11 and 18, and sold $1000 then your goal for starting earning the product collections is going to be $1100.

The sweetest thing is, these awards are cumulative, which means that if your goal for this incentive is $1100, then when you achieve it you’ll get 2 collections, one for reaching the $500 milestone and one for reaching the $1000 one. Isn’t that awesome? Who doesn’t LOVE getting FREE PRODUCTS?

I’m pumped!

And you can earn up to $1550 in FREE PRODUCTS when you reach $5000 in sales.

Really … what’s not to like?

The FREE PRODUCT COLLECTIONS are achieved at the following sales levels:

$50 collection when you achieve $500 sales

$100 collection with a $1000 sales level

$200 collection when your sales reach $2000

$300 collection when you hit $3000

$400 collection when your sales total reaches $4000

and the big (and final) one

$500 when you have $5000 in sales … which will also make you a Premier Club member.

You can do this!

It just takes planning!

You have 8 campaigns each of 2 weeks.

Break it down.

Set your goals and then plan how you are going to achieve them.

Share your website by email, text and social media posts … and ask your friends to also pass it on.

Hand out brochures and samples to people you know,

toss brochures in neighbourhoods,

work the “3 a day” or “5 a day” talking to people about AVON and our products.
This is soooo do-able and I want everyone who is not yet Premier to benefit from this, it’s such a brilliant opportunity!



That Napoleon complex!

Those who know me well, know I am not a huge spider fan. 


I do not wish them harm, but they give me the heebie jeebies, and I don't want them near me. So, last night, I sat up with a jolt and a squeal as a little hairy black octoped crawled away from me, barely a foot from my leg. Hubby, my knight in shining armour, came to rescue us both - to remove the offender from my proximity and to take it safely outside and let it wander off into the night. 


It was a jumping spider, maybe about an inch across. Hubby went to cup his hands around it to carry it out and that little monster reared it's front legs up in battle stance, waving them about. So small yet ready to take on the world. Hubby got some cardboard and let it crawl on that, and took it outside. 


We couldn't stop laughing. Hubby was talking to it, telling it how silly it was, that he could smoosh it so easily and was trying to take it to safety.

I LOVE Productive Days

 


Hi everyone, and good morning! I am up and about early and already feeling quite happy with myself, as I have completed 2 projects this morning and not even 8am! Hubby now having to be at work by 6am, meaning the alarm cuts into my dreamtime revelries at 5am, means that I am actually getting on and doing stuff in the peace and quiet of the mornings.

I do LOVE my mornings. Listening to the birds waking up and starting to sing, as the "dawn's early light" peeks through the curtains. It's definitely a time for peaceful reflections, just a sense of contentment, and (many times, for me) a time when my thoughts come together in a good way and enable me to get on and work, without interruptions breaking my train of thought.

I can hear the thrum of aeroplane engines from Donaldson, and that C-130/P3 rumble from hubby's workplace also fills me with a contentment. They may be "his" planes to work on, but I have always loved their unique sound. To me, they are the giant bumblebee of the skies.

Things are going well with me and mine. 

Yesterday, my grandson Daniel, turned 7, Time has flown. The days he was tiny and fit in my arms for a cuddle definitely do not seem that long ago. 

Hubby is doing great other than he does get tired much more easily, but that is not only the residual Covid stuff, but also the CLL. Thankfully, he has lost the Covid cough and the pneumonia now seems to have completely healed, for which we are very thankful. 

I now have a new rollator, an upright one. At my last doctor appointment, she was not happy with the fact that I can no longer stand fully straight when I am upright. Between the osteoporosis and arthritis, coupled with using the regular walker, my back is becoming bowed. This new one cost quite a bit but had arm rests and holds you in more of a stand up position, so hopefully it will work and reduce some of the strain on my back, and maybe reverse some of the forming curvature.

She was pleased with me, though, when the scale showed a drop of 8lbs ... it had stayed the same despite me losing inches and changing sizes in clothes. I know all the "muscle weighs more than fat" stuff, but it was disheartening to see no change in those numbers for almost a year. Knowing you are doing all the right things, seeing results in other ways but then having the scale laughing at you just does tend to put a blot on your self esteem, a little.

So, this morning, I wrote the Team Recognition blog post for AVON's Campaign 10 which closed out yesterday. I have some amazing people on my team, so many different life stories as to why they began selling AVON, what they want to achieve, and they are like family to me. I'm not a hovering "you need to do this or that" type person, but I'm definitely an "if you need me get a hold of me" one. I take my "job" seriously. My premise as a team leader and mentor is that I am there to support each person according to THEIR needs. They know they can email, text or call me and I will do my best to give them the help they need, or find the information they are asking for. You all know I LOVE what I do, and that's all part of it. The relationships I have built with "my peeps".

Then, FINALLY, I managed to complete the rundown of illustrations that I am looking for, for my "The Storybook Witch" poem, which I want to publish as a children's book for my great-grands and others. I have NO artistic talent whatsoever, and my attempts could easily be bested by my16 month old great granddaughter, they are so awful. I had asked my grandson for help, and he has a friend who is a computer whizz and so I had to lay out what I was looking for, for illustrations. It has been frustrating, and some ideas, I couldn't find anything similar, and my grandson said "well just write down what you're wanting" so that's what I've done and I hope poor AJ can decipher my thoughts and do me proud.



It's been over 20 years since I published my book of poetry "Twilight" back in England. I've had my poems published in various magazines and amid some collections, but 2 of my children's poems will work so well as children's books, so that's been a goal of mine for a few years now. Hopefully AJ and I can bring this first to fruition and then maybe collaborate on the second at a later date. 

I am definitely feeling good about today.

Later, hubby's new mower is being delivered. His old faithful is no longer being cooperative, needing jumpstarting umpteen times and conking out as soon as it starts cutting. I guess fifteen years and counting, it's had enough! Hubby's first job when he gets home tonight is to mow the yard and give us a semblance of tidiness back.

Well, methinks it is time for me to go and pedal on my elliptical bike and read my latest bury-my-head-in-a-good-book loan from the library. Get my body moving, where this morning -thus far - it has been fingers typing.

Have an amazing day my friends.

A nice long weekend!

Hubby and I left out on Thursday, mid-morning, for our mini-vacation down in Florida. It was a leap of faith for me, but we had planned it all out. I had my emergency meds with us as well as my regulars, and we were taking smaller roads down and avoiding the interstate. I usually do ok on our mini-jaunt day trips locally, so we figured slow and easy and we'd make our way down.

Our first "leg" was from home in Greenville SC down to Brunswick GA. It was a very picturesque route and we passed through lots of small towns and open spaces. We took sarnis and snacks with us in a cool bag along with frozen waters, and remarkably, the waters were still semi-frozen on Friday morning!

We stayed at the Super 8 motel in Brunswick, cheap and cheerful and (I  know people say "you get what you pay for") the room was small and basic, but it was disabled access, clean, and on the first floor. AJ, our "did-it-all" host was a really nice guy. Although it was just a "grab-what-you-want" breakfast, there were beverages, cereals, fruit and muffins and we weren't disappointed. We really couldn't complain at only $53, plus tax, for the night.

On Friday, we continued our drive down to Florida, choosing to go "the scenic route" down US 1. We arrived in Titusville late lunchtime, checking out all the changes since we had A) lived there and b) hubby had last been down a few years ago.

Our first stop, in Titusville, was at the marina, and we drove around to where I used to go to watch the manatees. It's got a paved parking area now, where it used to be just a sand/gravel road. The old ball field now has a skateboard ramp set up, and there's a nice kiddie play area alongside the river's edge.

We checked into the Holiday Inn on Hwy 50, and I wasn't too happy at first. Despite a sign on the elevator stating not to use it in the event of a fire, the disabled access room was on the SECOND floor. That made no sense to me and my anxiety over it pushed my blood pressure up at first, but it was a nice room and the bed was comfy ... and the pillows were so amazing we bought 2 to bring home with us! I was disappointed in the bathroom, as there was something nasty along the back of the toilet seat, I couldn't be bothered complaining so sprayed it with Lysol and cleaned it myself.

Our "go to" for dinner was the Cracker Barrel in front of the hotel, and I had a chef salad (no crackers, no croutons, no dressing, and I took home most of the bacon bits and ham, I'd had them "on the side" anyway, so kept my sodium level down and enjoyed my meal!

That evening, we visited friends. I had not seen JR in 20 years, and I finally got to meet his wife. He's an additional son, and I'm very proud of all he's achieved in his life.

On Saturday, we went to Cocoa Beach so that hubby could catch some of the Air Show. We grabbed some snacks from Publix for an early lunch, and watched a B-52 bomber, and an A-10 jet, from the parking lot. Then we went and parked a little farther down the road and hubby walked down to the beach to see some of it better. I had not got us tickets as all the "seating" was on the beach and I know my walker and I would not make it. I stayed in the truck and read my book for awhile.



The beach was packed and there were cruise ships off shore and within view. Hubby may be a Florida boy, born and bred, but 20 years in SC have made him less used to the heat and humidity, and when he got hot, he came back to the truck, and our next stop was Ron-Jon's. As we headed down to it, we were passed (in the opposite direction) by e mergency vehicles - it was only later that we found out that a small plane flying in the air show had come down just off the beach, when the pilot began having issues.

At Ron Jon's, I again stayed in the truck and read. I am NOT a shopper. The idea of struggling through crowds in Ron Jon's did not interest me in the least. Hubby went in to buy tee shirts for us as souvenirs of the trip, and grabbed one each for Zayleigh, Lily, Daniel and Sami as well. He remembers when Ron Jon's was a much smaller place than it is now.

We stopped for lunch at an awesome little restaurant Southern Charm Cafe and it was lovely. I had a grilled chicken salad and fries with no salt (I love fries with my salad!) and took half of it home. The portions are huge. The staff are all friendly and unfazed by my list of dos and don'ts for my salad. They even grilled my chicken with no seasoning for me! Definitely a place not to miss if you're don that way and hungry!

We drove back to the hotel via a drive around Jetty Park, and the port (Cape Canaveral) and State Road 3 through the Space Center although it actually doesn't let you all the way through how it used to, there are now gates blocking part of it for employees only, and the road meanders around and then gets back on it later. 

I was happy. My memories of hot Summer days were of alligators basking along the roadside canals and we saw 3 medium size gators as we drove down the road.

I was disappointed not to be able to visit the Harry T and Harriette Moore Museum (it's closed on weekends) as it did not exist when we lived in Florida, and they were among some of the inspirational people I've admired, in my life.

We did make it to the cemetery on Garden Street, so that hubby could visit his mum's grave. It had been almost 40 years since he had last been able to be there, so her spot took some finding but finally, with some help from his sister by phone, he found it.



Yesterday's drive home was somewhat traumatic, we had some bad weather en-route and that - along with crazy drivers - had my blood pressure pushing 200/100 most of the way home, even with me taking my emergency drugs along the way. We had to stop to let me try to to relax a bit, and drop it a few points, before continuing on, so we had lots of mini-stops along the way. It took us 11 and a half hours to get home. My poor hubby was driving for probably 10 hours of that time.

Just after leaving Brunswick GA, the truck gave us a warning that we were losing tire pressure in one of our tires. We had just stopped at a roadside sign to see what it was about. 


Hubby checked and it was leaking around the valve stem, so he got air at a gas station, I did a LOT of praying, and - as always - God was good and we made it home.

Everywhere we stopped, I was dropping off AVON brochures, and talking to people about it. Yes, I'm obsessed with my business, I guess.

It was a good trip but I won't be doing it again, too stressful on my body. Saturday and Sunday, my legs and ankles swelled badly and my blood pressure was bad. It'll be back to shorter, closer-to-home jaunts for me in future, like my favourites, Helen GA and Bryson City NC.

Looking good!


 Two of my favourite men, up on the roof. Now that the back is done, they've started on the front. Methinks my new metal roof will look so good. Still trying to talk hubby into having the brickwork whitewashed. I think white brick and red accents (roof and shutters) looks so cool.

Regaining my love of food creations

For many years, I  loved to bake and cook, and then (when I first moved to America) the difference in the composition of flour and sugar made many of my former successes into flops, and I became disheartened. 

Over the years, I have done little baking or creating flavours, and just basically stuck to what I knew, what worked and - of course - my curries. 

Then my hubby got his smoker/grill, and that remained basically unused other than slapping on some hamburgers or chicken now and again, for a year or so. I'd got him a class in barbecuing for his birthday, last year, but it was postponed due to Covid. It was rescheduled in January, but he was unable to attend as he was hospitalized (and then sent to the nursing home for rehab) with Covid. Third time lucky, he was finally able to attend a few weeks ago. It inspired him to want to look into it more, try new things and such. 

Our first chance to try out some ideas came when we and my grandson Dylan, granddaughter-in-law Lauren, and baby Lily, went to Mile Creek one Sunday afternoon, and cooked out.  I marinated some chicken breasts, hubby grilled them on the grill at the park, and they were awesome. Thus began our new love affair with the grill, and my new excursion into flavours and sides. Today, with Dylan, Lauren and Lily visiting (Dylan and hubby now up on the roof putting the metal panels up, we've done pork tenderloin, and chicken tikka and I made a coleslaw with a  cucumber, apple, pineapple and apple cider vinegar dressing. The slaw and pork made an awesome sandwich in french bread, I think.

I am now thinking that I need to get me a clay cooking pot so that I can "fake" some Tandoori cooking in this grill too. Once I get one, methinks my first try will be a biryani ... to go with my next batch of chicken tikka!

My container garden is growing!  Yesterday we got some more strawberry plants, which I planted out in the second green planter that we got from Lidl a few days ago, so now I have 8 strawberry plants. We also got a  blueberry  bush and 3 lavender plants. Since I'd already planted lavender seeds in one of my grey triple planters, we transplanted the lavender plants into my last (this far) grey triple pot, so that eventually I'll have the matching lavender bushes.


Today, hubby grabbed me a grapevine as I've been saying I wanted some grapes. Years ago, in FL, I had grapes growing up a trellis outside, and I'm hoping to replicate that here, now. We also bought some cucumber seeds, but I need to get some more planters to pop them in.  I may just start them inside in a tray until I get some more.


The peas and beans are coming up nicely. Hubby is creating frames of fence posts and string for them to vine up as they grow.


I am well happy with all my new babies.


Hubby found the lid to my old compost bin (it had blown away during a storm) so now we are back to composting again. 


This feels so good. It takes me back to when I was really into, and able to be, semi self-sufficient with my veggie garden and fruits and stuff before, many moons ago now.


We are looking at maybe getting a chicken tractor and half a dozen chickens. I miss having chickens and our own eggs. It's true that they taste better. I can't get day olds as I'm not up to the daily newspaper changing in the cage. I need to be able to stand to do that and my standing is not good any more, and suffice to say, would not be happening for the 5 minutes or so needed to pull out old newspaper and put in fresh, plus fresh chick feed and water. I'm hoping to be able to find someone who'll sell me some that are 4-6 weeks old and feathered, so past the need caging/need heat lamp care. It's not that I'm lazy, I used to love day olds, but my body is def not capable of doing what needs to be done, any more.


Tomorrow, my grandson is coming over again to help hubby continue doing the metal roof, and we'll be smoking and grilling another pork tenderloin for sandwiches, so I've cut it in half (to fit the gallon ziploc) and have it marinading ready for hubby to pop in the smoker in the morning. It comes out incredible ... we have hit on the perfect marinade and the perfect smoking/grilling technique.  We are now addicted to this for pork, at least. Our chicken breast marinade and cooking is different but was also a winner when we did it before.


I have so many plans for the next few weeks, I just hope that my health stays good and that I can accomplish them.

Spring Plantings

Spring definitely has hubby and I inspired, outside. 


He is clearing off our front porch so that we can get it pressure washed and then set it out as a cozy space with our outdoor rattan furniture that has been stored unused for the past 5 or 6 years. 


We hosed off the pvc stand that I had plants on a couple of years ago (last year somehow got missed as far as growing "stuff") and then set it back up. For now, it's solitary occupier is a triple planter with the lavender seeds in, that I planted the other day. 


Today, one of my new planters became the home of 4 new strawberry plants, and they transplanted so well, didn't lose their perkiness at all. 




He also cut down a lot of the holly bushes that we are clearing so that we can put white gravel behind a low stone wall, under the windows at the front of the house. We then plan on some planters sitting on the gravel. 


Tomorrow's first job will be a trip to the dump to drop off the holly branches ... so that he can stack some more in the truck bed for a second trip. 


It was a nice couple of hours work, and the weather was gorgeous.

A Productive Morning Already

Monday morning, bright and early, still dark outside but the birds are beginning to sing, and I have already pedalled 40 minutes on my elliptical bike, have home-made chicken stock reducing down for a batch cook later on, and am feeling pretty good about my start to the day and new week.

Remember those old thighmaster ads? Well, since my weight loss journey and getting my body back to rights began, I have wanted one of those thighmasters to work my inner thighs as the machines at the gym are too awkward for me to get on, with my hip problems. Yesterday we found them on sale at Lidl, generic and cheap, so I happily snagged one so that I can use it both at home and for my in-car exercises.

Later on, my batch cook involves PF Chang's Mongolian Beef frozen meal for 2 which I will make into 5 portions, adding some stock and additional vegetables, which really cuts down the sodium, along with a Signature rice which will be mixed with white rice cooked in chicken stock, peas and carrots. I love my Chinese, and this provides me with tasty, lower calorie, lower sodium, better-for-me versions of some favourites.

I have a busy day ahead, running friend around to do some errands, and am planning on grabbing a classic wrap from Tropical Grille and spending some peaceful time down at Conestee Park with one of my "good books".

Here's to an awesome Monday for all!

A Beautiful Day

What a beautiful day it has been today, the weather is absolutely glorious. I had a rough night and woke up a wee bit stressed, but watching Easter services on the telly brought my mood up. Plenty to think on, and to uplift my spirits.

Hubby and I thus had a later-than-planned start to our day, but it turned out productive nonetheless. 

A trip to Lidl netted me 2 raised planters, that hubby will be putting together tomorrow, some lavender seeds (which we have already planted in a triple pot and which will eventually be on my front porch, once we "revitalize" that), and 2 motion detector lights for the yard, so that I can look out of the window when the deer or rabbits set it off, and watch them. I love my dusk and nocturnal visitors and I'm pretty sure they'll soon get used to the lights coming on as they are feeding.

My peas and beans are growing nicely, they are about 6" tall now. We've had to cover them the past couple of nights because of the frosty temps but they do love the sunshine. I've got them in big tubs out under the oak tree.

So many plans running through my head right now, so many things I'd like to accomplish over the next few months. Both indoors and outdoors.

Hubby and I are both thoroughly enjoying using his smoker and grill, and trying out different marinades, and different woods for burning. On the bad side - yesterday's pork was so delicious, it was being sliced on the grill and snacked on throughout the day! NONE made it into the freezer for another day ... not good! We all (grandson, hubby and me, ate way too much of it just snacking that way. It just tasted soooo good!

I hope you've all enjoyed a beautiful Easter Sunday, ours has been very enjoyable.

Welcome to the 2nd quarter of the year

April arrived yesterday with some gorgeous weather but then decided to remind us of her fickleness overnight with some frigid temps. Indeed, under the covers, I felt quite warm, but as soon as I stepped out of them, the heat had to go on. Def not a morning for brass monkeys!


Hubby is snoozing still, beside me. It's his Friday off so the 5am alarm was silenced. Unfortunately, my body is so used to waking at that time, that it does it anyway, whether it's a workday or not. Still, I do make use of the quiet of the mornings. It gives me time to get my thoughts in order, plan my day and daydream about the things I need to be considering, whether to do with my business, my home or life in general. Sometimes even abstract stuff that pops into my mind, seemingly out of nowhere.


So, since I am unable to walk unaided, or kneel, or get up and down to or from ground level, gardening as I used to has become a thing of the past. Not to be thwarted in my desire for home grown fresh stuff, a couple of weeks ago I planted a few seeds in some large container pots outside. We've done that for years with cherry tomatoes, it just seemed a good idea to take it a step further. 


Yesterday, with a cold night promised, I had hubby put a tarp over the pots to protect my beautiful seedlings. They are about 6" high already. 2 different types of peas (they will NEVER make it into the house, they'll be eaten straight out of the pod, just because, and they always taste so good!) and one type of green bean.


I am going to get the plot down the field tilled again and have someone plant other seeds for me down there. I'm also wanting to get some grapevines to trail up a trellis, the way I had in Florida many many many moons ago. 


Years of keeping goats and chickens means our soil is well enriched and fertilized naturally. 


A recent visit to my doctor showed a weight loss of 8lbs, YAY me. It was the first drop in over a year. She and I discussed my joy at the numbers. I KNOW that muscle weighs more than fat, BUT, as I said to her, despite all the exercising and eating correctly, sometimes you don't just need to be dropping sizes in clothes, getting more definition, losing inches ... you NEED to see those numbers drop. It's a psychological thing, I guess. So, I am happy and satisfied. Slow ans steady will win this race. I don't weigh at home, I just go by the doctor's scales, that way I don't get obsessed by the numbers.


Losing the weight is so difficult with a slow metabolism. My resting heart rate is between 45 and 50, so even after exercise, it's maybe 65-70, and quite honestly, at that it pounds and I worry that an A-Fib episode may start, but thankfully, those seem to be getting fewer and farther between. 


I do wish I could still walk normally, I used to love to go walking, but it seriously hurts my knees and back now, so most of my exercising is at home, on my elliptical bike, and I do 20/30/40 minute sessions a couple of or few times a day, basically until my bum gets numb and then it's like "ok, time to stop". I love going to the gym, and use a seated stepper there, and also work on my arms and back. On the stepper, just like at home, on my bike, I get my nose into a good book and escape into another world as I wile away the time.


Hubby has been back at work a month, and doing well. He has some residual effects of the Covid but hopefully they will ease or disappear as time goes on. He has been working on the roof in his spare time, with assistance from my grandson, Dylan. It'll look good once it's done. A shiny red metal roof. Something else, I hope, that will enable me to listen to the rain drumming, much as my metal awnings do.


He also attended his BBQ class that had been postponed from a year ago. After 25 years working with his company, they gave him a catalog to choose a gift from, and he chose a barbecue grill/smoker so I had scheduled him the class to learn about smoking meat, grilling, rubs, marinades and all the intricacies of becoming a BBQ king. To add to that, this year, birthday-wise, I got him a really nice grill tool set in a case, a cover for his grill, and an accessory rack for his sauces, paper towel etc, so I have him well kitted out. He has turned into quite an afficionado! We have had some delicious offerings to tantalise our tastebuds.


I am struggling over a new website for my AVON business, so have been watching videos and reading up on how to use the new medium, and I jokingly feel that I am getting to where I am getting to understand parts of what I am supposed to be getting to know. My brain no longer works with what my intentions are. The short term memory loss makes learning new things extremely difficult. Even taking notes on a video or training modules end up with me needing to go back over a sentence of what was said, 3 or 4 times, in order to make the notes that I need to, to understand it. So a 60 minute training takes me hours to make the notes on, and I really need the notes as I can then refer back to them step-by-step.. It seems, saith she, that everything in my life now operates on 2 speeds, slow and slower. Ah, but it is what it is and we work with what we've got, as they say.


Meanwhile, I am excited about all the new stuff that AVON is introducing, now that we are a part of LGH&H. All sorts of things for home care, personal care (most def needed during this Covid awfulness) and venturing into many vegan products so as to widen the customer base for myself and other reps. It's all good, and I just keep plodding along, trying to keep up with all the new stuff and trying things to see if I like them, or not.


So, as April comes in, I have hope for this month to start a better quarter than the first one of the year. That one wasn't a very good one for us, with hubby almost dying from Covid and being sick, in hospital and the nursing home (they say rehab) for most of January. We are glad that's over and hope it will never be repeated. I am so thankful that I didn't lose him. I prayed so hard for him to get well I think God must have gotten fed up with me. But He is good, and He sent my hubby back to me, so I am grateful for that and know that I am well blessed.


Life goes on. Be blessed my friends. Live every moment. Make memories with loved ones. Life is precious - don't waste it!
