summer summer summertime!

Summer is but a mere day away and we here in the Central Valley have definitely been experiencing summer type heat. The boys have been loving all the extra time outside in the evenings when it's slightly cooler and all the water play of late. And if any of you know me at all you know how terribly white my children are and thusly how much sunblock we go through. It's a terrible plight but I'd rather be gallons deep in sunblock than have crispy children crying from sunburn pain!

Which brings me to my point this post. Where do you all buy your sunblock from? How about all of your moisturizing and beauty needs? Are you looking for a change? I've recently signed up and become an official AVON rep. Who knew I'd end up here! I'm very excited to be starting this venture as I think it will be a good fit for me and my busy household. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and love the fact that not only can I do everything the old fashioned way of people calling and placing orders but that I can also do it all online now. Did you know you can order from almost anywhere world wide from me and have it direct shipped to your home? How fantastic is that?

Not only is it convienient for everyone involved, it's fun for me. And how long has it been since you last checked AVON out? So many things have really changed over the years. Of course there is always the standbys of Skin so Soft and Dew Kiss lip balm but have you checked out Jill Dempsey's (Hollywood make-up artist and wife of actor Patrick Dempsey) make-up line exclusive to AVON? What about the MARK line? It's fresh, fun and very trendy! How about having Reese Witherspoon as a Global Ambassador? Did you know that she was talking to her AVON rep about the company and liked it so much she went to AVON to ask how she could be a part of it? How great is that? What about the two major charities that AVON supports world-wide? They are advocates and supporters of Women and Children of Domestic Abuse and the one nearest and dearest to our hearts, Breast Cancer Research. They even host annual walks for Breast Cancer every year.

Now as this is more of a personal blog and not a business blog I wont inundate you all with AVON stuff all the time from here on out. On occaision I may present you with a not to miss opportunity but I'm still just me here. I will, however, encourage you to all check out my website at www.youravon.com/ahame and see if anything strikes your fancy. Pass it on to everyone you know and remember that summer is here and everyone needs a little extra sunblock in their lives!
