Life with Jody--former Soldier (medically retired), writer (in training), and lots more |
Howdy All! It's a day of many firsts for me! 1. First time I ever made tabouleh--SUPER easy! I should make this all the time! lol 2. First time I used my new charcoal sugar scrub...mostly because I thought it was my charcoal mask and realized I was wrong when I dipped my fingers in and decided to just go with it. But if I'd used the charcoal mask, it would have been the first day I'd ever done that as well. lol 3. First time to ever cook with real chicken broth. I decided to use that instead of water as the tabouleh suggested. It went well. 4. First time to ever grow my own garlic. Full disclosure, it started to grow on it's own, but I planted it 2 days ago and haven't killed it yet, so YAY ME! 5. First time to ever do a direct sales party with another DS. runningwolf04 sells Color Street 100% nail polish strips to get a glamorous manicure without the mess of liquid polish. Her's aren't stickers like some companies. They remove with regular nail polish remover because they are real nail polish. I sell Pampered Chef high-end kitchen products designed to make your time in the kitchen better. I've always been told not to do a party with another DS because neither of you makes any money, plus things can get ugly as you "fight" for customers. Well, our products and price points are very different and she's been a sweetheart so, so far so good. 6. First time ever doing a Mystery Host Party. When you do DS parties like Pampered Chef, Color Street, Mary Kay, Tupperware, etc., the host gets the rewards based off how well the party goes AKA the sales. More sales = more rewards for the host. But in the party Krysha and I are doing, who knows who will get the rewards? You earn points towards the possibility of being selected as the Mystery Host by commenting, inviting friends, booking a party, etc., and of course by purchasing. No purchase is necessary to win the Mystery Host rewards, but you'd better be inviting folks and participating a lot if you don't purchase. At the end of the party, she and I will each select a winner for the host rewards for our company's party. EXCITING! Since she's brand new to Color Street and neither of us has ever done a Mystery Host Party, whether it goes well or badly, there will definitely be excitement! 7. Today I'm (probably) Going Live on Facebook for the first time. Sure, there's a chance I'll chicken out since each time I practice, I go off the rails because I can't focus, but still, it's good for me to try. We'll see what happens... 8.. First time I will have opened the microphone I bought like 3 years ago. My director mentioned that when my computer fan is on, it sounds like I'm in an airplane, so if I'm going to Go Live, I figure I'd better break out that microphone that I never got around to donating. SEE? This is exactly the reason I hate downsizing! 9. Okay, that might be all the first time things I've done today, but also a large number of "first time in a long time" things (like writing in my blog ), but I'll refrain from boring you with those. If anyone is interested in joining the party, you are welcome to come! If nothing else, you'll get to see and hear Krysha and I, so isn't that alone worth it? If you order from either of us by midnight Monday May 25, 2020, you'll get a free gift from both of us. And because this year my Pampered Chef anniversary coincides with Memorial Day and I'm a disabled war veteran, I'm also giving those orders free shipping so order soon! The parties will both have recipes, games, kitchen tips, and product demos. Come join us! Unfortunately, we can't ship to our overseas friends, but you are more than welcome to join in the festivities! We'd love to have some of our WdC friends to support/make fun of us! You don't have to purchase to have fun at the party. Most folks don't purchase, though of course, we hope you will. Whatever you do, we definitely encourage you to participate! That's what makes the party fun! To join our party, click the link and ask to join! I promise to approve you. https://www.facebook.com/groups/449157998841279/
