This blog was originally created to update out of town family on the happenings of our wedding planning. Now that our wedding has come and gone, we have decided to keep adding to it so that our friends and family can see pictures of some of our life adventures. It keeps us all young ;)

My Job
A lot of people give me a hassle abut the fact that I am an Avon lady, while never asking why. Well yes, if I work hard, I can earn 6 figures. But that is not why I am a part of the community. I wanted to work with a company with something I could be proud to a part of. Not only is Avon the top direct sales company in 145 countries, it supports two causes that I am behind 100%. The first is the Empowerment Campaign. Reese Witherspoon is our honorary chair person, and has become the face of Empowerment, Crusade, and Minerals make-up. The campaign is to end violence against women. 100% of all empowerment sales go to support domestic violence programs
The second is the Breast Cancer Crusade. "The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade was launched in 1992 as a small pioneering program in the U.K. Avon in the U.S. adopted the Crusade the following year. Over the last 18 years, Avon philanthropy has raised and donated more than $700 million to breast cancer programs around the world, supporting cutting-edge research to find a cure for or prevent breast cancer as well as programs that enable all patients to access quality care."
So this is what I do for work. I support Breast Cancer research, Empowerment to end domestic violence, and I help recruit and train others to do what I do. I am so lucky to have a fiance who supports my choice in work as well. Yes I am still going to school to become a Music major who doesn't yet know if I want to teach or go into arts therapy, as long as Avon supports these two causes, and while they come up with more foundations to back, I will be an Avon lady as well!
