Hopelessly Heather

The ramblings and obsessions of a longtime Avon lady

I have now joined the ranks of so many great bloggers before me and been “interviewed” on Bottomless Coffee’s (“BC’s”) podcast!  To those already familiar with BC, it may surprise you that we interact regularly: me, a beauty blogger, and BC, a political blogger.  The two don’t naturally go together, but BC asks the tough questions and genuinely wants to hear all sides.  He is willing to admit when you’ve schooled him and is gracious when you flat out disagree.  I am especially delighted by the obvious respect between BC and Steve, two friends IRL who, often, have opposing political views.  It’s fun to hear them go at it while still being respectful of each other.  If you want to hear and read dynamic convos on hot (and longtime) political issues, make sure to check out his blog, Bottomless Coffee 007, and other podcast episodes – there’s tons of material there and you’re sure to find one or more that you’ll wholeheartedly agree, or disagree, with and want your opinion to be known.  On the flip side, BC also records podcast episodes with fellow bloggers of all sorts, not just political bloggers – no two podcasts are alike.  In that respect, he’s very much a people person and truly wants to get to know his virtual friends.

Everyone loves getting bonuses and perks with their jobs!  Just because Avon is a a side hustle for me doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy achieving incentives to win prizes and getting swag bags at events!  Luckily, Avon is incredibly generous and I’ve gotten loads of prizes and freebies over the years.  The slideshow above only shows a portion of the goodies I’ve received over the past 3 years.  (Prior to that I failed to capture and post photos.  Sorry, my bad.)

What was the first perfume you wore? The first makeup product? The first skin care product you bought? Buckle your seat belts and be prepared for a walk down memory lane as I admit to some of my firsts!

Building a team is something I’m relatively new at. For the longest time, I focused ALL of my attention on building up my Avon customer base and becoming the best Avon lady I could be. That suited me just fine for a long time but the more your customer base grows, the more likely it will be that one or more of them will want to join your team.
