new business venture

Hi all,

I want to tell you all about my brand new business venture that i have become involved with. 

For a while now i have been using products from a company called "oriflame", they are Sweedish. I will be honest i wasn't sure about trying them to start with as i have sensitive skin and react to most things, make-up, perfumes, bubble bath etc and i tend to stick with brands and products that i know i dont react to. 

I asked many questions about the products before i ordered as i wanted to make sure that i wouldn't react and if i did what did i do. I was assured that all products are natural and not tested on animals, the company research the best things to go in the products. So far i haven't reacted to any of the products i have used.

The person i was buying from suggested that i take the plunge and become a partner myself. I was a bit hesitant about doing it, i went along to an online information event and the guy who was doing it i sort of know - i worked for his parents 20years ago, and that kind of gave me the shove i needed to start.

 

Oriflame sells many products and has something for everyone - fragrances for him and her, products

that can be used by anyone - the spot stuff is great 

for teenagers and they do products upto anti-wrikle creams (i've not tried those). They sell suncream, bubble bath and shower gel, vitamins and minerals, make-up and accessories. There is a new catalogue every 4weeks, which have many offers inside (which change each month), and there are more products available online.                                                                                             My online store can be found here and my facebook group can be found here. I share posts and offers and stuff in the facenbook group and i am more than happy to answer questions relating to products or the company.

I'm really excited to be starting out on this journey and the best part of it is that it's work from home and i can sit in my pjs and post about the products and offers.

What a lovely day

Today has been really nice, its dry and the sun has shined.  This meant that me and hubby have ventured outside to sort some more of the garden out.  However, it was very wet and muddy under foot.

When we bought the house last May, the garden had 6ft weeds, dead trees and brambles all over it, as the previous owners hadn't done anything for about 7year.  It had been strimmed by the estate agents for viewings.

All of What is in that picture, we cut down last year, and it looked like this in September:

 We put the kids swing in the top right corner next to the hedges, and added wood bark underneath, it looked really nice.  It was sprayed with cat repellant to keep them away, shame all the local cats didn't realise they wern't meant to like the spray and decided it was their new toilet!!! (yea totally gross!)  So, it has all been taken up and bagged for bin.  We were going to put decking squares under it but didn't have a framework to fix them to.  Son in the end we went for fake grass.  Took ages to do.

I also sat and scraped loads of the moss from the rock and stone walls!  Then decided to google how to get rid of it and apart from buying expensive stuff the top answer was whit vinegar in a spray bottle and they use a wallpaper scraper to remove.  This I will be trying.  I have lots of rocks/stones as part of retainers as the garden is on a downhill slope to the house.  I want them to look nice.

There is still LOTS to do in it, including digging out soil from the slop nearest the house in order to lay decking, leveling other parts to add grass seed to and part of it is going as patio.  It wont be finished this year I don't think, although it would be nice.

I certainly know I have done stuff as both my back and my knee are causing me pain!
