Rafflecopter: Aloette Product Package Giveaway!! 11/03

Introducing Aloette!

Most of you know that over the past couple of years I’ve been making changes towards a cleaner, greener, lifestyle. That includes the beauty products that I use too – which is why I was really interested in learning more about Aloette.

Aloette is one of America’s leading direct sales beauty companies, specializing in scientifically advanced skin care and makeup with good-for-your-skin ingredients. For over 30 years, Aloette has empowered women with superior products, a network of dedicated beauty consultants and a business opportunity for personal success.

Or you can host an Aloette party – so you get personalized advice and attention without fighting crowds at the mall cosmetics counter. Love it, right? These are the products from Aloette that I got to try out in my home –

Gentle Foaming Cleanser
Skin Refining Toner
Restorative Enzyme Peel

I loved these products!! My skin can be kind of sensitive, so I’m always a bit nervous when trying new skincare brands – but these were amazing. The cleanser and toner worked together perfectly, leaving my skin feeling soft and fresh – no tightness or yucky residue. And the Restorative Enzyme Peel is one of my new favorite products!! Made my skin super-duper soft after just one use – with that “glowiness” that a really good product gives you. I am definitely a fan now.

Aloette has great opportunities too!

If you’re interested in becoming an Aloette Beauty Consultant , you’ll have the opportunity to build your own business – The cosmetic and healthy lifestyle industries are still booming in this tough economy, so this is a great choice for anyone looking to start something new!

Rafflecopter: Postcardly Prize Package #giveaway!!

Introducing – Postcardly.com!

This is such a super-cool new site, and I just KNOW that you guys are going to love it! What it does is allow you to take any of those amazing pictures you have stored in your computer, have them printed onto a postcard with just a few clicks of the mouse, and then automatically mailed out to anyone in the world! Awesome, right?

“We wanted to find an easier way to get pictures to our relatives that aren’t on email or Facebook,” says Tom Marshall, co-founder of the Seattle start-up. “People love getting the pictures they can hold in their hands, but printing and mailing pictures is a pain. But email is easy, and using Postcardly is just like using your email.”

This gives you an easy way to stay in touch with friends or family who don’t use computers. And even if they do – how fun would it be to find something like this in your mailbox, instead of just bills and junk mail?

How Does it work?

When people sign up, they create Postcardly email addresses that correspond to physical mailing addresses. It’s a one-time set up. After that, when you email grandma at, for example, grandma@postcardly.com, your grandma gets a postcard mailed to her house. You attach a photo to an email the way you normally would — then they print and mail your postcard with your attached photo on the front, and your words on the back. Easy peasy – and imagine how quickly you can turn into grandma’s favorite, right?

Fun Facts:

You can send postcards from anywhere that you have email access – meaning you can also send them right from your phone too! Love that.
There’s no app, nothing to download, no commitment.
They have a great free trial – send your first 3 postcards totally free! They know you’ll love it once you try it.
They have some great packages you can get, and all prices include the postage too!

I can’t wait to try it!

Postcardly.com is giving me a free package, so that I can try out their service, and share my thoughts with you guys. It is SO easy to set up, super easy to use, and I can’t WAIT until people get the first postcards that I sent out! {I had one sent to myself too, so that I could show you guys the quality when I get it. So stay tuned!}

What I love most:

Abby’s doesn’t get to see her Grandpa as often as I’d like, and he’s getting ready to move even farther away next month! I am absolutely lovin’ that when I snap a cute pic of her on my phone, with just a quick email, I can have Postcardly.com send it as a postcard to him! This is just such an amazing idea. Instead of heading to Hallmark to get overpriced holiday and birthday cards, picking up stamps, and then remembering to get them in the mail – I can snap pic’s, add a personal message, and have them mailed for me. I KNOW that friends and family would MUCH rather get cute pic’s of the kids than a card from the store anyway!

Win it!

One lucky winner will WIN a full package of 10 Postcardly postcards! Use the Rafflecopter Entry Form for your chance to win – and remember to come back once a day for your BONUS daily Tweet entry!

Love the frugal tips and giveaways here? Then share some love and give me a vote today! All you do is click the pic, and you’ll see my profile! If you like it, click the big pink heart to vote – easy peasy! If you LOVE it, you can vote daily until the end of the month too! Thanks guys – You rock!

About the party:

Halloween will be celebrated throughout October, with many chances for fun including pumpkin festivals, costume parades, parties, and of course trick-or-treating. Halloween itself is the third biggest party day in the country, behind New Year’s Eve and Super Bowl Sunday.

This fall, as we prepare to amuse little ghosts and goblins and entertain friends and family, festive Halloween snacks come to mind. Although candy may stand as the most popular option, there are lots of opportunities to get creative and offer treats that are wholesome, delicious and guaranteed to not provide an additional sugar rush! Everyone associates pumpkins with this time of year, but most people don’t know that avocados grow in their native land of Mexico all year long, and ripen in abundance during the fall and winter seasons.

Spookamole!!

To celebrate this, Avocados from Mexico created a fun recipe contest called “Spookamole”. Orange and black are the official colors of the holiday, but this year think “ghoulish green!” Participants whipped up a Halloween-themed recipe featuring avocados from Mexico. Avocados from Mexico chose five finalists, and the public voting is now open!

Women’s Small Business Month Giveaway – Become a Dove Chocolatier

Who Loves Chocolate?

Well, considering that over $16 million in chocolate was sold in the U.S. in 2010, a LOT of us love chocolate! In fact, the US consumes almost half of the entire world’s chocolate every year. And if your a chocolate junkie like me, you know that Dove makes some of the best products you can buy! If you host a party, as soon as your guests eat it, they’ll be back for more. That’s a tasty repeat business for you.

What exactly is a Chocolatier?

A Chocolatier is the name given to the amazing DOVE CHOCOLATE DISCOVERIES team members. A Chocolatier gets to sample delicious chocolate, encourage purchases, invite their friends and family to super fun Chocolate Tasting parties, and encourage others to join them in earning an income as a Chocolatier. At Chocolate Tasting parties – where the host invites her friends – you’ll share delicious new treats and demonstrate easy entertaining ideas. Sounds fun, right?

Interested in Earning an Extra Income?

You don’t need experience to be a Chocolatier, just an ability to share your enthusiasm for chocolate. Like most direct sales careers, this requires NO previous sales experience, and only a small start-up fee! Then you have total flexibility to set your own hours, be rewarded for your energy and effort, and grow your business at your own pace. You’ll get an amazing start up package – in the top pic you’ll see the training videos that they partner with some yummy chocolate chai tea, and helpful information to get you started. You’ll also get some amazing recipe books and invitations, to get people excited about your first party! The start up package includes TONS of Dove products too, you’ll read more about them in a minute…

Why Direct Sales is the Perfect Fit for Busy Moms –

Whether your a stay at home mom who wants to earn a full time income while still spending time with the kids, or a working mom who just wants a fun part-time job to earn extra holiday cash, Direct Sales is the perfect option for you! I myself just jumped into direct selling, and am now a Discovery Toys Independent Sales Rep, and I am incredibly excited for a chance to start building my own business, while still spending my days with the baby.

Six reasons to consider joining the more than 15 million Americans in the direct selling industry:

Freedom: Work for yourself and be independent, setting your own business goals.
Flexibility: Set your own hours and schedule work around family priorities.
Finances: Pay bills, take that special vacation or replace your full time income. How much you earn is entirely up to you!
Fuel your development: With top notch training programs and tools, you’ll gain entrepreneurial business skills and savvy that will make you a hot commodity in any market.
Friends: Meet new people through Tasting Parties and a supportive network of Chocolatiers.
Fun: Love what you do and share that joy. It doesn’t feel like work when you make people happy! After all who doesn’t love chocolate?

Sound like a great option for you?

I am a big fan of Direct Sales, and have worked for other companies in the past. {I made President’s Club with Avon when I was only 19!} To help busy moms easily compare Direct Sales opportunities, find the perfect company to join, and give them an easy way to get started, I’m starting the new Direct Sales Directory, which will launch very soon! I want to give you a way to quickly get an idea of what’s out there, and some great reps to get information from. Stay tuned, and you’ll see it later this week! Why not join the growing group of entrepreneurs who’ve started their own chocolate businesses and party your way to sweet rewards!
