Avon Innovations for Fall/Winter 2016 #beautyboss @AvonInsider

November 7, 2016October 30, 2016

I had an amazing time at the Avon Insider Event last week. Everything I thought I knew is new! I thought I knew Avon, it’s time to know New Avon. Learn new ways to get started with a little investment for a lot of opportunity. Get ready to meet the best boss you ever had…you.

New Product Innovations

Introducing The Anti-Aging Treasure from the Sea. Avon New Ultimate Supreme Advanced Performance Cream. This is my new favorite find!!!

Avon True Color Lip Balm. Avon True Color Glimmersticks. Avon True Color Wide Awake Mascara. Mega Cream Metallic Eye Shadows. Mega Metals Eyeliners. Nailwear Pro – Mega Metals.

Avon Makeup Artist Palette. Who says you can’t have it all? Eye Shadow. Lip Gloss. Blush. Contour. Highlighter. I am ready for anything.

Avon Fashion that will take you from morning to nighttime. Love the Crossbody Bag!!!

Prima Fragrance filled with grace and beauty. Perfect.

Feel in love with the Paradise Cove Statement Necklace.

I was lucky enough to meet the lovely “momprenuer” Lydia and she shared her hacks for at home bosses:

Learn to work with – not fight – your kids’ rhythms.
Build margin into your work life. Work should NOT be 24/7.
Have fun with your work. Happy hours, company outings, and lunch meetings shouldn’t end just because you’re working at home.
Organize a business that fits your life, not the other way around. Find your most productive hours and protect them. Traditional 9-5 can go by the wayside.
Incorporate variety. Work in different rooms and settings – parks, coffee shops, kitchen, front porch, etc. Surround yourself with space that gives you creativity and peace.

New Ways To Get Started. New Ways To Share.

Do What Works For You. This is Boss Life.

Creamy Coconut Cauliflower Soup

November 3, 2016November 3, 2016

The other day I was rummaging through my recipe book, you know that book that holds all those recipes you print out because you want to try it but never seem to get around to making.

That book!

Well, in this book, all folded up, I found a print out for Creamy Coconut Cauliflower Soup.

I quickly scanned the ingredients and knew this soup would be perfect to make for these Fall days.

One chopped onion, garlic, saute…in go the potatoes, cauliflower and the broth. Bring to a boil simmer 20-25 minutes( till vegetables are tender). Done! Using an immersion blender to blend all vegetables till smooth. Oops! I didn’t have an immersion blender but my trusty Cuisinart blender will do.

Well, as you can see soup did not come out 100% smooth and creamy…no matter Creamy Coconut Cauliflower Soup tasted just like I hoped it would.

Falliciously PERFECT!
