SOLD!

This morning, I came to work ready to face the day. I usually check my emails before I leave for work, but each morning I do, I am upset before the day starts. I hope for a sale in my etsy shop, an online order in my avon online store, an email with a new order, or some fun note from a sibling or parent. Usually-- its more like this: notes of things to do from bossman, bills now available for review and payment, spam, spam, sales at sears and jcpenneys (when I have no fun money to spend), and invites for broker open houses on days I am already working in the office.
I said today, "Don't get mad before the day begins. I'll check my mail when I get to work." My main problem is that my work emails get forwarded to my personal email address....so I can check them when ever...where ever.
Guess what! My all pinks beaded hair barrette sold this morning on Etsy. I had a sale on my Avon online store. Its a wonderful day. I'm battling taxes and I am working for bossman, but I am happy!!

Tonight, I get to see AB. He worked a super long day yesterday, so we didn't get a chance to see each other. I know he will be happy about my sales, both on Avon and Etsy. Right now, I need to get working on a bpo for bossman and then do some more tax prep for myself. I am going to keep a nice excel sheet this year for next year. Going through bill by bill and receipt by receipt is awful!! Its sooo time consuming and not worth it. I'm scared I will have to break down and get an accountant to help me. I've never done taxes for Avon before...the other schedule Cs I have down pat, but this one will be a bit different, because there is inventory, give aways, etc.

Some of my Newest Items in My Etsy Store

All these are available in my Etsy Store (http://lisaleeworks.etsy.com) Perfect for any day or wedding day.

Make more Money!

Looking for an opportunity to make some extra money--working for yourself, and not someone else? Well, why not Avon?

Avon allows you to make your own schedule and do what you want with it. Many people don't know the benefits of working as an Independent Contractor-- like me (an Avon Sales Rep).

Becoming an Avon Rep is easy. Its a nominal fee of $10 to get you started. When I joined, my district manager gave me catalogs and samples to help me get started. I wrote my name on each book with my phone number and dropped them off at the grocery store (next to the homes magazines), the pizza place, and two chinese restaurants. I left a few at the post office on a table. I handed them to my sisters. And, guess what? A week later, I had a few orders. I still do the same thing each week, and I always get a few orders. Its as simple as that. If I had more time, I might walk from door to door hanging catalogs on everyone's steps, but I just don't have enough time in the day.

Have you thought about becoming an Avon Rep? I love it, and you might, too! For only $10, its worth finding out, isn't it??

the nightmare (of getting married)

How embarassing! I woke up from a vampire nightmare around 5:15 am. Got up, walked around (to make sure there were none hiding!), grabbed some water and went back to bed. Woke up again around 7 from another nightmare--- AB was going to propose!
Now, that shouldn't be a nightmare...that should be a reason to celebrate. Its something I hope for everyday....and something I hope to one day experience. In my dream, we were in some kind of mall, and he had gotten a flyer of some sort from a jeweler. He said we needed to talk, and I saw a glimpse of the flyer---which was full of pictures of different engagement rings...and I ran!
I ran to find my mom and tell her. I was scared he wanted me to pick out my own ring (I don't want to, thats his job and he has great taste!). I was scared I wasn't ready. After I found my mom, we got lost. Then, I went to a small kiosk looking for a girly product, but I had no money, so I stole it! It didn't make any sense, but I woke up just as scared as the vampire nightmare. The only good thing about the vampire nightmare -- I know I stabbed one of them and they turned to dust. I also had a sword in my hand and waved it around violently and expertly, in my opionion.

Am I scared AB might be ready? Am I not?? He already told me one day we could have a dog...I know he is coming around to that, but....whats wrong with me???

Maybe taping some lipstick samples to some catalogs will help me ease my mind. Yes, the catalogs I put out at the grocery stores have samples. I think samples are the best way to get new customers.

Oh How I love my FOOTWORKS

Okay-- these items have saved my rough dry feet! I love LOVE LOVE these 3 products. As you can see, the bottom one looks smooshed...cause its almost out!
My three musts for great feeling and looking feet:

• Therapeutic Cracked Heel Relief Cream (on sale $1.99!!) This stuff is thick and creamy. I put it on after my shower. If you have cracked heels--- I feel like it works magic! Three days in a row and you will feel a difference.
• Footworks Overnight Renewing Foot Cream (on sale $4.99) You really should put socks on after applying this silky cream. It has tiny moisture beads that activate as you rub the cream into your foot. I apply it all over, from my toes to my ankles!! Yes, put socks on to lock in the power of the cream and you will be amazed at how soft your feet feel when you wake up the next morning. I only need to use this one once or twice a week in the dry of winter.
• Footworks Pedi Peel ($3.99) You get 22 little pads. Use one on each foot on the rough areas only. Avon recommends using every other day, but I have only used these a few times all winter, because the other creams really do the trick. This is my "I've been slacking and my dry rough heels are scaring AB" remedy.

These items are total musts for rough dry feet. I like mine looking good both in winter and summer...don't you??
