Less than two weeks since I've started blogging again and oops, I've already missed a few days. I will do my best to post when I am able to and my work doesn't keep me up till all hours of the night, like it did last night.
Anyway, tonight I thought I'd post something I haven't used in a very long time, probably in the neighborhood of 25+ years and I'm surprised this company is still going strong. I haven't used Avon products in so long I forget what their product is like. What I like is it is delivered to the door, something which is a good idea during this pandemic... here is to hoping I like it!
I sold Avon in the mid-90s, earning enough to purchase a red wagon to pull my little ones around as I delivered books and orders. Then for years afterwards my favorite mascara was Avon, although I haven't put on any makeup since last March. Don't know if I ever will.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome you used to sell Avon, I think my Mom did, I know for certain she sold Tuperware. Ya, with this pandemic on weekends when I don't work I don't bother with makeup neither... I don't think my dog even notices! lol
DeleteI was an Avon Lady back in 1965! I was 17 years old! I just recently started using some Avon products again myself.
ReplyDeleteLinda isn't it amazing how long Avon has been around for. Now I am curious just how long, think I'll google this and find out.
DeleteNow this is interesting, I had to come back to share it!
Delete"In 1886, 34 years before women in the U.S. earned the right to vote, Avon's founder, David H. McConnell, helped give them the chance to earn an independent income. He didn’t set out to create a beauty company. In fact, McConnell was a traveling book salesperson who offered fragrances samples as an additional perk to his female customers. He saw that these women were more interested in the free perfume than the books. Since women had a passion for his products and loved networking with other women, McConnell was inspired to recruit them as Sales Representatives. From a small New York City office, McConnell himself mixed the company's first fragrances.
This began Avon's long history of empowering women around the globe."
