Memories of my childhood – Giveaway
By TheAngelForever | December 8, 2008
Shhhhhh. . . . I have a secret for you. Tomorrow is my birthday. As a reminder that my birthday is in December the temperatures finally took a major nose dive. This morning it was only 6 degrees outside with a windchill of -11! Happy almost birthday to me!
When I was in Elementary school, I have fond memories of my birthday parties. Many years I had them at an indoor pool and friends would come for Carvel ice cream cake after the swim. Of course, many years my goodie bag of gifts for friends was always Avon related. Why? Well, my mother was an Avon lady for many years. So we would give away funky nail polish, fun chap stick, or whatever was big at the time. I also recall having friends over and playing with the little Avon lipstick samples. Oh my, there were so many and they were all so very different, it was so neat as a young kid.
My mother stopped selling Avon a long time ago (more years than I care to mention), but my love of Avon has continued as an adult. When teaching, the homeroom teachers and I would buy our kids (all girls) Avon Christmas presents. Now, I often purchase makeup, chapstick, moisturizer, jewelry, Breast Cancer Awareness merchandise (love my pen from them), and even hair care products. Of course, the holidays are also a fabulous time to stock up on Avon items to add to gifts. I love their bath gels that are great with my knit washcloths.

The Mark cosmetics are fantastic. The colors are truly flattering on everyone!
December 11th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
My all-time favorite avon item is the slick tints in glossy opal. They are awesome. They leave your lips moisturized while adding a bit of a frost to them. I don’t leave my house without one. Thank you for the entry.

December 12th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
I really like the Skin So Soft products. But my all-time favorite Avon product is an ornament circa 1990 that my church youth group leader gave me–it’s a little elf holding a fish. I always loved things with fish on them. And it’s so silly–why would an elf be holding a fish?!?!
December 12th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
I love the skin so soft deodorants!
December 13th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
I have so many items I love, I think the one I could not do without would be the Intensive Moisture Therapy.
