Hello August!!
Where did you come from?!!! Sneaking in on us like this……………..Hmmmm……….I don’t know about it!
Here’s some exciting August news!
Did you see the We Saved You a Seat study in our giveaway a bit back? {Go here, but giveaway over!!} TODAY, the Never Unfriended Online study begins. Go over here to join in AND the videos are free and will be posted and available to watch until October 1st.
Looking for a laugh to start your August off? This video totally made me laugh. It’s a parody about direct sales companies. And THOSE FRIENDS who want to sell you on their product!!! Haha!! {By the way, would you like to hear about Lilla Rose or Young Living?? 😉 } {See what I did there???} 🙂 🙂 🙂
I honestly love a lot of direct sales companies and their products. I’ve used Tupperware and Pampered Chef for years. My Pampered Chef products are always, always my favorite kitchen things. I am also in love with my Young Living Essential Oils. They’re my thing. And it’s totally ok, if they’re not yours. We can still go out for coffee. 🙂 Oh, and I ADORE my bags from Thirty-One. And Lilla Rose. {Goes without saying.} And I really like some of Norwex’s products.
I don’t adore pushy sales people of any type and I’m not really a very good salesperson at all even though I am a stylist for Lilla Rose and am signed up with Young Living. IF you are excited about Lilla Rose, I love to share it with you. If I feel like you are only listening to be polite or not too in to it, I’m done. I don’t like to feel like I’m pushing something on someone!!! I’ve been blessed with some good friends who really love Lilla Rose and flexis and I get to share it with them and show them new styles. Yay!!!
Now, I’m curious? Do you like direct sales companies and which ones??????
Another thing that makes me laugh is this. We are marketed to ALL THE TIME. Whether it is a friend with a direct sales company or Wal-Mart with their BEST prices and REDUCED prices and talking tv screens at the end of the aisle or the RETURN of the McRib at McDonalds!. 🙂 Billboards, magazine ads, blogposts, new books, commercials, word-of-mouth……………
Marketing is part of life. And if you want to sell your product or book, well, somebody, someway, somehow, has to tell people about it!!
WELL. That was a tangent. Or as Karianne Wood from Thistlewood says; a Total Aside!!!
Ok friends!!!
I have something for you to make your AUGUST and your LIFE so much better and easier. I’m not kidding. I love it when I find a new product I love.
It is awesome!!!!! Amazingly so. Where have I been????
I like to try new things, BUT I also get stuck in a rut just ho-humming along using the same ole, same ole thing I’m used to. Glad Press and Seal is so much, WAY so much better than plastic wrap.
Back around harvest time I was at a friend’s house and she was using her Glad Press and Seal and I covered a couple of dishes for her and was INSTANTLY smitten with how super-wonderful it was and put two boxes in my cart the very next time I was at the aforementioned Wal-mart.
And I’ll end this marketing commercial with…………Try it Today!!!! 🙂 🙂
This made me smile. I’d been using my hand-dandy-sweet-like-candy Glad Press and Seal and loving it. We invited friends one evening and when they came they brought us a delicious loaf of pumpkin bread. It was wrapped in foil, but INSIDE the foil it was all snugged up in Glad Press and Seal!!! woot-woot!!!
Oh, and I’m totally going to direct you over to Andrea Dekker, who is the queen of practical and organized, plus cute and cozy home, and her post about Ten Uses For Glad Press and Seal, as it is full of fantastic ideas and tips.
I used the Glad Press and Seal to wrap my paintbrush and roller when I was painting our porch posts in May and June. It worked splendidly!
Mark your calendars! August 7 is SALE DAY at Mindy Mae’s!! Four times a year, they have a mega sale with deep discounts! It’s a great time to shop. It’s only one day!!! Everything on sale is FINAL sale and there will not be restocks. U.S. orders ALWAYS ship free!
I love so many of their shirts and sweatshirts………..and all the florals!!! Yay! Go here to browse!
I must run! I hope your August is FaNTaSTiC and fun and you find an exciting new product or two!!! 😉 And by all means, LET ME KNOW, if you do!!!
For those who are wondering…an ankle update….
{My ankle is slowly losing its soreness and black and blue and getting stronger to walk on. Still slow and limpy as it were, though. Thanks for all the kind thoughts and get-better wishes.}
