"In developing In Bloom, I found myself drawn to the scents of my childhood in Tennesse. We had a great big magnolia tree in the backyard and it’s that beautiful white blossom that inspired the perfume. In Bloom is indicative of where I am in my life today. I’m feeling very strong and independent, and so happy, so full of life. The fragrance truly captures that feeling – it’s very sensual, very romantic and alluring.” – Reese Witherspoon for Avon

Why I love Avon: Reason #1

I love my Avon business because I can work it super duper part-time! I have a full time telecommuting job and I'm a full time mommy! Yes, I'm married and my husband is an amazing daddy! He just happens to be gone quite a bit due to his line of work.

Avon enables me to be all that I am in life and more. I simply work my Avon business into my regular routine. Last night, my little one and I went for a walk in a nearby neighborhood. We tossed some expired brochures, along with an introductory letter, on the neighbor's porches or driveways. While that may sound silly, I got a call this morning, requesting a current brochure. The gal LOVES Avon and was excited to see there is a rep in her area!

Today, I took my 9 month old daughter to her first quilt show! Before we got started, I placed about 20-25 brochures on the cars in the parking lot.

My brochure is my store, so I try to keep it working for me as much as possible.
