The ramblings and obsessions of a longtime Avon lady

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last selfie post and I feel I need to address the reason why. On October 10, my boss and friend of 8-1/2 years unexpectedly passed away. It’s been a great struggle since. That said, life continues to go on and I’m trying to remember how to do “normal”. Selfies are definitely a part of my normal, so this post features the few that have been taken in the past two weeks. And here we go…

Shower poufs are great tools – just dump a little body wash onto them, add a bit of water then squeeze, squeeze, squeeze until it’s filled with foamy goodness!  When keeping them in your home shower, they don’t pose much of a problem.  So what if you don’t get all the water and product out of it before you need to dry off?  Just hang it up and let it drip dry – easy peasy!  But what about when you travel with them? ::cue dangerous sounding music::

Avon’s vast product lines are overwhelming – especially when they are constantly changing every 2 weeks! Aside from testing out products on my own over the years, I started doing daily “Sale Highlight” posts. These have benefited me in two great ways: Continue reading
