I am in the process of starting my new fundraiser. I am going to have an on going one that for McLaren Housing Society . It will be featuring "SPANK" the MONKEY! $10 including our adorable stuffed monkey "SPANK" holding on to a 40 ml tube of our famous MOISTURE THERAPY HANDCREAM! ALL proceeds go directly to help those with HIV and AIDS who are in need of housing. You can check out my progress at the official website http://www.spankthemonkey.ca/ 



After a miriad of computer issues [camera driver, printer died] and with the OLYMPICS in full swing here in Vancouver I haven't blogged here in a while. I was pleased when I won Journal of the Week from Bravenet but since then have not had a chance to get back at it. My AVON business is growing slowly but surley LOL. I have a great customer base and am planning all sorts of stuff for spring/summer 2010. I am having an on going fundraiser starting next month called "SPANK THE MONKEY" A McLaren Housing Fundaiser.
It is to raise funds for those who have HIV and AIDS get adaquate housing.
You can check out the OFFICIAL website www.spankthemonkey.ca [still in progress] for a sneak peek. I have also just recieved a list from the City of Vancouver with all the events that are taking place this year. I am going to pitch a tent at as many as I can get to. Being a man selling AVON I have obsticles to overcome that women don't. I literally have to go to a place that is more community minded to meet potential customers, not just knocking on someones door and saying "AVON CALLING". I also have been experiencing what I call AVONLADY SABOTAGE. People tearing down my posters and print materials as well as tossing my books out. It's rude and unacceptable but it happened to me the last time I sold AVON. I just have to watch where I put my stuff. I guess there are some nasty types out there who don't like my presence in the West End... TOO BAD/SO SAD! LOL I am not discouraged... I am off now to drop off books and make some deliveries. Wish me luck!




I'm in total shock... I just won Journal of the week from Bravenet! Holy Crap... I just started this blog a few months ago. I am so pleased with this award... THANKS EVERYONE!!!
It's like a really bad drama... yesterday I had all but given up with thinking that my AVON business would go up in smoke after a disasterous Christmas season of backorders, broken product and an issue with deliveries. BUT TODAY I FEEL REDEEMED. EVERYTHING that I ordered INCLUDING the start-up kit finally arrived and in PERFECT condition.
Nothing broken or leaking. The brochures were in a spearate box. I can say that this made my evening. I just sat there for hours afraid to open the boxes for fear of yet MORE disappointment. But alas, everything was there even the NHL Blanket my best customer ordered, along with everything else he wanted. *SIGH* I know my last blog was a boo-hoo-bitch but I am glad I vented and got it all off my chest. Ya know, I really do like going out into the community and meeting new people and selling products I use... and have used for over 30 years...
I think my skin looks great for a guy of almost 50 [if I DO say so myself lol] and I'm such a clean-freak I am addicted to showers and long bubble baths... I'm not sure why but AVON sent me a bunch of cool free stuff like a Disney mug and a bottle of my favorite bubble bath so I guess that may be a way of saying I'm sorry. LMFAO WHATEVER... I now have 3 AVON websites... http://www.scentman.ca/ my OFFICIAL AVON WEBSITE http://www.scentman.net/ MY AVON BLOG and http://www.avonguy.ca/ my own AVON SITE.. This one has a Feedjit widget that tells me the people who have stopped by and like my other blog they are visiting from all over the world. Beverly Hills...Staten Island... Birmingham...Hong Kong...
Langley I wonder what they thing about a guy selling AVON and working for "THE COMPANY FOR WOMEN" lol I'm pleased that so many people are stopping by to check ng me out. I got my VISA/MC/AMEX
all up and running so I am going to keep plugging along until I can't take it anymore... or check into the looney-bin... DING-DONG!!!

Yes, AVON'S slogan taglne is "the company for women" and yes, it is a company that empowers women to achieve their goals. But real men sell AVON too! I know because I DO. If you're interested in starting a home based business like AVON but thought there is nothing there that would interest you ...THINK AGAIN... Besides the vast number of mens fragrances and shaving products, they also carry NHL Official Merchandise, HARLEY DAVIDSON Official products, tools, gadgets, novelites, jewelery and EVEN fashions. You'll never know what you might find until you check out an AVON brochure. I have some interesting success stories of men who own AVON businesses. And MY 'success' story with AVON is an interesting one as well.

This Scentman Tip is about "fragrance etiquette". With the rising amount of people with sensitivity to strong perfumes it is important not to over-power others with your favorite scent. No longer is it proper to douse oneself in cologne or slather on massive amounts of aftershave. Some businesses even frown on employees wearing fragrance at all. So what do you do? There are many formats that give a subtler, more appropriate manner in which to wear them. Your scent should not permiate an entire room, but should be subtle. You can choose a number of ways to achieve this. Lotions, shave balms, talc and scented anti-perspirant are just some of the ways. Layering fragrance is also a method to keep the scent longer without offending anyone. Let scent inhance you NOT dominate everyone else!
