Meet Sprucie Baby!

For the first time, in many years, this year I have a Christmas tree. I wanted a live tree that could continue growing, so we when I saw that Home Depot had them, I went looking.  They had various kinds, but when I saw Sprucie baby I knew that it was meant to be.

As of now, he is still naked as he was when we got him, but I have some tiny ornaments and am going to get a string of lights. He's going to look quite snazzy once I get him done!

Espira

When AVON first began serving customers, the pamphlets included not just skin care and fragrance items but also home apothecary products aimed at helping the housewife and her family, as well.

Recent years have seen a surge in the health and wellness industry - in people becoming more aware of nutritional needs, fitness benefits, in balancing work and relaxation, and minimizing stress. 

AVON has - once again - decided to include health and wellness items in their range and 2018 will see the launch of the Espira range geared towards helping people with their dietary and supplementary needs.

I'm excited. I am very much a "natural" remedy person, and in using plant sources for my nutrients, and AVON's Espira range has the same premise, natural ingredients from plant sources.

Today's a great day to save money on your gift list!

I am LOVING all the gift ideas!

I think New AVON has done an awesome job with the gift offerings this year! From home decor options for the various holidays, to kitchen accessories to make food prep and serving much easier, to winter warmer faves like hats, scarves and gloves, and then boxed sets of fragrances, make up, jewelry ... it's so easy just to sit back, shop online and get the perfect "stuff" to make yourself and everyone else happy!

Pluses -

NO TRAFFIC!  That's a big one for me, I hate traffic, I hate people's road rage and lack of civility to each other.

WEATHER ISSUES!  It's either too hot, too cold, or raining. Don't even bring snow or ice into it! So much easier to just stay home and comfortable.

NO CROWDS!  Another big one for me, it gets very frazzling dealing with hordes of people and especially when the aisles get narrowed by displays or folks who stand and chat.

NO LUGGING YOUR PURCHASES BACK TO THE CAR! They come directly to your door by USPS or UPS.

LESS CHANCE OF CREDIT/DEBIT CARD FRAUD. There's nobody able to see your pin being put in, or "collect" your card number, AVON's site is encrypted so you can pay with confidence.

I just love the ease of shopping online, and especially being able to have things set directly to addresses all over the USA and to military addresses (eg APO) overseas. Makes it all so much simpler to accomplish.

So, what are my picks this year?

I love the Purple Peace Collection, a  portion of every purchase is donated to AVON's Speak Out About Domestic Violence Campaign. And of all the range, my favourite  is the Purple Peace Infinity Ombre Scarf  

which I bought for my granddaughter (she's 21) and she LOVES it!

Whether you decorate every year or this is your first Christmas alone, in a new relationship, or new home, this lovely Christmas village is perfect for that holiday display. 

Whether on a table, mantelpiece, or counter top, this makes an awesome bu for yourself, or as a gift for someone else. Browse through the AVON Living Holiday Gift Guide for an array of beautiful home decor items to enhance your festivities.

There are beautiful place settings, runners and card holders, decorative plates, ornaments and other non make up/fragrance offerings and you can browse them by going to this page.

You can make new family memories with our new spin on traditional family games.

Our Connect game makes a great stocking filler, it comes in festive red and gold colours and is $19.99.

Our 7-in-1 Winter Soft Game Set has a wooden storage box with individual compartments and everything you need to play chess, backgammon, checkers, cribbage, dice, dominoes and cards. This set is $29.99

Back to festive red and gold for a wooden Tic Tac Toe set that can is perfect for teaching 3 and 4 year olds to play, too. This costs $14.99.

I love the range of scents available in our candles this year, no matter what your favourites are, you can create the ambience you want, simply by using one fragrance alone or several together. And they are definitely another stocking stuffer idea or housewarming gift for those celebrating their first Holiday season in a new home.

Both of my granddaughters who live close to me, chose one of the Joyful Beautiful sleepshirts as something for the cooler nights that are drawing in.

Nicolette loved the AVON Living Holly Dot Stacking Mug Set With Holder  ($19.99) and wanted it as part of her Christmas goodies, so like any good nan, how could I say no?

That's just a few of my Holiday picks for now. Visit my website at :
www.youravon.com/rosemarydempsey
to browse all the brochures or to search by category.

If you are worried about gifts being delivered before Christmas, New AVON has shipping information here. Cut off dates and shipping costs are included.

Oh, and between now and  Monday 6th November at 11.59pm EST, here's a free shipping code for you ... because I try to save you money whenever I can.

AND if you place a $100 order through my website, I will send you an additional $20 of AVON of your choice, FREE. Just my way of helping you get MORE for your money this year.

Thanks for your support, please share this on your social media pages. Enjoy your weekend!

Make Up History

The history of make up, and what we see as beauty, has evolved within the last 150 years or so. These video clips provide an insight into that journey.

This first, is a neat mini-documentary about make up in the Edwardian era and includes demonstrations of techniques used.

This second one, is a filmed interview with vintage clothes and cosmetics expert, collector and writer, Madeleine Marsh by Lisa Eldridge. It takes us from the Victorian era to the 1940s.

Part 2 of that same interview is here, and covers the era from the 1940s through to the 1970s

Finally a 70s makeover for a young lady, using vintage Biba makeover. And a memory of mine!

I remember Biba!

When I was at school in London, in the late 1960s, Biba was THE fashion house to wear. My friend, Stephanie's, sister worked there and so my friend got to wear some of the fabulous clothes that her sister brought home.

One time, when I was 15, she loaned me one of them to go to the youth club with her, Della (who loaned me the Ravel platform shoes), Tina and Sue. They made me up at Tina's house. At that time, I wasn't allowed to wear make up or short skirts, and at the end of the night, when Tina 's friend was dropping us off at home (and my own clothes were at Tina's!) I sheepishly knocked on my door, and my dad didn't recognise me.

"Hello. Can I help you?" he said and I was like "Dad, it's me!"

"Quick, get in and go clean that off your face before your mother sees you" he whispered, and I shot in and ran up the stairs to the bathroom, before she did. LOL

I remember the make up looks like this, and LOVE how incredibly this changed the model's whole features.

I've only discovered this make up artist/vintage make up collector this morning and I think she's brilliant!

Gift Ideas Galore!

Only 9 weeks until Christmas!  Are you a  "buy early and put away" or a "last week before Christmas" shopper? As a single mother back in the 70s and 80s, my Christmas shopping began in July. I'd buy items weekly, wrap them and put away, ready for the end of the year. It was the only way that I could make sure that my children would have a nice bunch of goodies for Christmas.

I still seem to start earlier in the year, than most. It's much easier on my wallet that way.

AVON's Campaign 23 brochure is packed with some lovely gift items that I want to share with you. Plus, I am now running my annual #SavingsIncentive whereby when you place a $100 order on my website , I send you an additional $25 worth absolutely free - just my way of helping your $$$ go further. It's always my premise to #saveyoumoney or give you more for it. It's also my way of saying "thank you" for your support.

To browse the Campaign 23 brochure online, 

simply click here. You can relax in a comfy chair, put your feet up, and look through the book on your laptop, tablet or phone. There's no traffic or weather to deal with, no crowds, no waiting in a checkout line. Wherever you are, in the USA, you can shop from the convenience of your own living room, without any hassles.

So, who do you have to shop for? How can I help you cross them off your list?

Do you remember when AVON had collectible decanters filled with after shave and colognes? They were in their heyday in the 60s and 70s when I was growing up in England. Well, this year, they have listened to all the decanter lovers and have brought out this cowboy boot filled with one of our favourite men's fragrances - Wild Country.

It holds a full 5oz, and is the perfect gift for the man in your life, whether that's a teenage son, a boyfriend or husband, dad or grandad. It's a limited edition, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Wild Country fragrance. Best of all, it's only $20!

For our Wintersoft fans, AVON has created this gift set that makes an awesome stocking filler. It helps against the ravages of Winter weather on the skin, moisturizing it and keeping it nourished against the elements.

What's one of the things that comes to mind about cold, Winter evenings? What memories come to mind?  For me, it's got to be a mug of steaming hot cocoa. As children, this was our bedtime drink. When my own children were young, Christmas Eve meant going to the church for the midnight carol service, walking home and having a mug of cocoa and some biscuits when we got home. 

These Winter Soft snowflake ceramic mugs mean that you can start a cocoa tradition in your home, this year, or use them for your morning coffee. The set of 4 is dishwasher safe, and retails for $29.99.

This is a perfect gift for a young couple for their first Christmas together, for somebody who is celebrating their first Christmas in a new home, and definitely for cocoa lovers!

Great for snuggling under as you watch tv on a chilly night, this Winter Soft Cable-Knit Throw makes an awesome gift for everyone on your list. 

It's 50"L x 60"W and comes in 2 colours, blue or cream. They are $29.99 and are featured on page 6.

The Best Way To Shop From The Outlet Brochures

I get asked many times, "Rose, what's the best way to shop from the Outlet books?" and my response is always "on my website".

Why is that?

The Outlet Brochures are like the clearance tables at your local department store. They have great bargains in them, but only a limited quantity, and once they are gone, they're gone!

I place my orders every 2 weeks, so - by the time I do - items may be sold out before my order is submitted to AVON.

When you go to my website www.youravon.com/rosemarydempsey you are told immediately if the item is out of stock, but if AVON still has some, then yours is reserved as soon as you have placed and paid for your order.

It saves you disappointment, and as well as ensuring that you GET the item, it also means you'll receive it sooner too!

You can also request a complimentary AVON brochure in your order, and can take advantage of special offers, just as you could if you were giving me your order in person.

Many times there are online-only specials too, so that you have access to additional offers and savings.

I hate having disappointed customers, and ordering online helps cut down on the event of that happening. My goal is always to offer my customers the best AVON experience that I can, and I try to do that.

Orders of $40 or more ALWAYS get free shipping.

The Pink AVON Mini Cooper Came To Fountain Inn Today!

Today has been an awesome day! The SouthEastern Division Manager, Janette Wilson and our local AVON Coach, Lane Lake, visited the AVON Store in Fountain Inn today and brought with them, the AVONMobile that one lucky rep in our Division will win in the Drive Like  Boss incentive going on right now. 

It's a really cute Mini Cooper Convertible. We were all really excited and had our pics taken with it. I just LOVE those lashes!

Personally, I think being in the driver's seat really suited me! LOL.

Some of the ladies went for a ride!

My upline Glori, Janette, Lane, and one of my team leaders, Jenn, let me take a pic of them all together.

It was a really beautiful day and we all had a lot of fun.

Glori's daughter, Paige, struck a model pose for us all.

We earn entries for doing a variety of things, so the more we achieve, the more entries we will earn. I'd love to have you help me earn some entries.

You can place an order through my website www.youravon.com/rosemarydempsey

to help me achieve higher sales levels.

If you've been considering becoming an AVON representative yourself, simply go to my Sell AVON tab and help me grow my team (and become eligible to earn entries for yourself, as well as earn points towards our Cruise Like A Boss incentive (where everybody who earns it, GOES!)

Likewise, if you have friends who love our products, or have considered joining AVON, please give them my links, if you're not becoming a rep yourself. I'd really appreciate it.

If you have any questions at all, just email me at rosesavonshoppe@aol.com, I'm aways happy to answer.

Have a wonderful weekend!

It's all about performance

When a man goes to look at a car, he's looking for performance. 0 to 60 in so many seconds, the  particular benefits of the engine size, the stereo system, all the bells and whistles. Sadly, they can't always afford that Maserati on a Mini or Kia paycheck ... so they then look at what they can afford, that's within their budget, with as many of the features that the more expensive vehicle has, but at a cheaper price.

You can apply the same idea to skin care. You are looking for performance, you want the product to take care of the particular issue that it claims to, whether it's fine lines, age spots or discolouration, lifting or moisturizing, nobody likes wasting money on something that doesn't work.

You can find products that work just as well as AVON's in department stores, but you'll pay twice to three times as much, and AVON's Research and Development Division has been at the forefront of many of the "discoveries" of the past 20-30 years, in the skin care field. It's actually a sign of how good they are, when competitors bring out a product of similar formulation, to deal with the same skin issues, and package it in a similar way to ours! It has long been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Unfortunately, not everyone stands behind their skin care products the way that AVON does. You have a 90 day 100% money back guarantee if you are dissatisfied in any way.

What does that mean?

Well, maybe you use it for 14-28 days and you really don't feel that it has given you the results that you were looking for. That's ok. Just return it, and you'll get a refund, or you can get something else in exchange.

You don't normally have problems but you tried something, and the very first time you used it, you got blotchy, or maybe it irritated your skin and made you itch. It's ok, not everybody can use every item. Just return it. You have not wasted your money on a product you'll throw away.

So, I hope you'll take a look at Campaign 22's Insider's Guide To Skin Care brochure and know that you can buy in confidence. Just go here to browse your copy.

Feel free to email me at rosesavonshoppe@aol.com with any questions, I'm always happy to answer.

Oh ... and if you place an order of $25 or more, just use code RA2510 for free shipping on that order!

The first batch of donated items was sent out within days of the first hurricane hitting and has been expanded to provide aid to those affected by all 3, now.

If you know someone in the affected areas, one of the best gifts you can send them right now is our Skin So Soft Bug Guard. The heat, along with the cooled water, has made the areas mosquito havens despite the best efforts of local authorities.

Send them a gift of Bug Guard, use code RA2510 for free shipping on any order of $25 or more. All of our Bug Guard is on sale right now, so that you can do this in the most cost effective way.

I am very heartened by AVON's immediate response to Harvey, and the support of my customers (and AVON customers throughout the US) for those affected by it, that has now been expanded to include the devastation left by the others, also.

Thanks for stopping by, and supporting me and my business. I appreciate each and every one of you, and am thankful for share and comments.

Have a great day!
