I started selling AVON about 10 years ago when my daughter was born. I had to leave my office job (Director of Marketing) because she was born with a kidney disease and spent most of her first 2 years in and out of hospitals. I...

waters1748 Thank you for the group list, I'll have to check them out. I know what you mean, almost every Avon rep out there is willing to help each other out. I started Leadership a couple of weeks ago. I have 3 in my group already and will be signing up one of my...

Well I'm finally back! I haven't been on myLot for about 9 months. We moved and then as everyone is probably experiencing...life has been pretty crazy. I feel like I'm on a Gerbal wheel, running just as fast as I can. But the...

waters1748 You are absolutely right. And in fact, I have been away for about 3 weeks again this time. I'm going to have to make a better effort to come here. When I do, I always end up smiling. God bless to you too and happy lotting!

I always do my laundry in cold water, how about you ? this is just of the steps we have taken to save money and the invironment. Only thing I am still trying to figure out is how much it actually saves on a yearly basis doing...

waters1748 It's funny you should say that! I use cold water and lately my clothes have smelled musty too. Like they sat in the washer wet overnight or something. I don't have a front loader though. I wonder why this is happening. I didn't notice it as much before....

waters1748 Very good point John! I just started Leadership this week. I've signed up one recruit so far and I'm going out today with over 100 books and flyers. I want that Fast Start cash!!!! And yes, that is truly the way to make AVON a homebased business and not just a...

I started a discussion earlier about starting to do some holiday shopping and someone mentioned putting a Wii game on layaway through a games store. It got me thinking about putting some things on layaway for Christmas. I know...

waters1748 Exactly!!!! I tried putting away $20 or so in an envelope for a purchase but the minute I was short a week, I would just go to my envelope. My mom always put our back to school clothes on layaway. I remember when I was little going to the store and picking out...

waters1748 Oh gosh, that would be so great if more stores offered layaway! With the times as they are, you would think they all would offer it to help boost sales. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a Layaway Revolution!

waters1748 I know right? I have a Walmart on every corner where I live but hardly any other stores. There are 2 Kmarts but they are further away and that is about it in my city. I would have done almost all my layaway at Walmart if they still had it. So bummed.....

waters1748 I know, that stinks that Walmart doesn't anymore. I don't have a Rose's near me. Is that the craft store? I'll have to check into ToysRus and Sears. Sears would make sense if they do since they are now the same co. as Kmart. I'll be super excited if ToysRus...

waters1748 Thank you so much for that info. I'm starting a list now of stores to check out. I did not know that these 2 stores offered it and yes, I think they have some good stuff. Especially for my 2 girls. I'm pretty sure I have a Marshalls in the next town over but...

I can't even believe I'm asking this question, but I'm very interested to know everyone's opinion. I can't remember when I got my first bra (too many years ago I guess). My daughter is 10 and I swear she is almost ready for one....

waters1748 I had a friend in school that needed a bra before all the rest of us girls and her mom finally got it for her. She was very embarrassed when people would stare or tease her about it. I'm going to go ahead and get Sydni her first one this weekend. I can't stop...

waters1748 That's so cool that you remember it and your mom made it so memorable! I don't remember my first bra at all. I remember wearing it but not buying it or even how old I was. I'm going to take my daughter this Sunday after church, her and I alone, to get her...

waters1748 Thank you to all my myLot friends for making me feel better about this decision. My daughter isn't really chesty yet, so I wasn't sure. But I know in some of her shirts, I can't help but look there and notice them, so I can imagine that boys do too. Eeeks!...

waters1748 You know, now that you mentioned that you were in the 6th grade, that sounds familiar. I'm thinking I was about that age too. (I'm only 40 but it just seems so long ago!). You said if I think she is ready to buy her one....I agree. I think I'm going to take...

waters1748 That is what I wanted to hear. So your daughter was pretty much ready at 10, but you waited for the right time. My daughter is excited about getting a bra. The reason it came up is because her daddy & I have been noticing that she seems to be developing enough...

I know it seems early (or late to some) but I'm curious to know how many people have started and perhaps even finished holiday shopping. I started picking up stocking stuffers last month. I really haven't got any big presents...

waters1748 Thank you for the Merry Christmas in advance! I try to have those "exchange presents" on hand for the people that buy us something that I hadn't planned on. I like to have a nice bottle of wine handy, in a nice gift bag. If a neighbor comes by, then I have a...

waters1748 We're on a super tight budget right now too. That's why all I've bought so far are stocking stuffers. I spend about 3 -5 dollars every 2 weeks. At that rate, I'm almost done with the stockings. Next I'll concentrate on $10 a month or so on some other presents....

waters1748 See, that's what I'm talking about. I want to make sure my girls have something for Christmas, not expensive, just a good Christmas memory. My girls don't go into my closet so I'm pretty safe for at least another year....
