What do you do for a living?

Show of hands.....who knows what I do for a living?

Yes, I represent a Fine Fashion Jewelry Company called Jewels by Park Lane.  A Family owned and operated, Debt FREE, 58 year old company out of Chicago.

We have an Unconditional Guarantee.

We have the BEST Hostess plan, Customer Sale and Rep benefits on the Planet.  Don't ask me.  Let me show you the information and make that decision for yourself...like I did.

My "Job" is to give away HUNDREDS of dollars worth of jewelry every month.  That is how we advertise.

My "Job" is to help others start their own business, earn extra money, earn free jewelry, make new friends, earn 2 trips a year, earn a Mercedes, help others with our fundraising efforts, and so much more!

Having said all that, it doesn't feel like a "JOB" but it is....it is my ONLY source of INCOME.

That is the part that I think people forget or don't full understand.

Yes, it's fun.

Yes, I get to wear fabulous jewelry for a living.

Yes, I get to meet new people and shower them with fabulous jewelry.

Yes, I can help raise $1000 in 3 hours for a worthy cause.

Yes, I can take my mother or my husband to the doctors without getting permission from a boss.

Yes, I can have lunch with friends when my schedule allows and not have to worry about being back late to my office.

Yes, those and many other perks are true.

What people do not seem to understand is that it is the way I pay my bills.  The way I put gas into my car.  The way I put food on my table.

So when someone like me asks you to buy some jewelry ( or any other product), book a private showing with a few friends or to schedule a One on One private appointment.....they are counting on you.  When you cancel or fail to invite anyone to your showing, not only will you be disappointed because you didn't get your free BLING.(whatever).....your rep will take a financial hit.

She may have declined an opportunity to meet with another group of people.  She may have declined an opportunity to do a vendor event and meet possible customers or team members.  She may have missed out on an opportunity to visit with family.

So when you ask someone what they do, and they tell you they represent a Direct Sales company and that it is their ONLY job....take them seriously and respect their time.

Musings about NYC Fashion Week

Someone described
my blog posts as "The Ramblings of a Crazy Woman".

LOVE THAT.

You get me!!!

So what, you may ask, am I going to talk about today?

Good question.  Thanks for asking.

I'm going to talk about "Who decides what is the latest fashion Trend?"

For those of you that care, you are aware that this is NYC Fashion Week.  Apparently up in NYC there are STICK THIN people parading up and down run ways-wearing what we are suppose to wear in the coming "Season". 

First of all.....Who put you in charge of my wardrobe?

Second....If "I'm" supposed to be wearing that particular item, why is a SKINNY person wearing it?  Did you make it in MY size?  Didn't think so.

Third....WHAT were you Thinking!!!

In all honesty, I haven't seen any of the fashions.  I know a fabulous girl that lives in NYC that is up on all "That is Fashion".  If you really care, check out

The only thing I have seen is the following:

NY Fashion Week News
From Glamour Mag:
"Fall 2013 trend: turtlenecks
 

"NYFW is the fashion industry’s favorite excuse to put together the most stylish outfits possible, which naturally means that statement jewelry abounds."

"The single biggest jewelry trend was the chandelier earring. Elaborate drops were the go-to item for major fashion impact."

"Chandelier earrings add lots of sparkle and luxury to the most casual of outfits. Pair the earrings with a dazzling ring for a truly extravagant look."

The information about the JEWELRY is what is interesting to me.   

For the few of you that do not know, I represent a Fine Fashion Jewelry Company called Jewels by Park Lane ( here after known as Park Lane)  Park Lane is always ON TREND.  We have jewelry already in our catalog to compliment the new seasons fashions and beyond.  

So NYC Fashion Week....say what you will about my clothes.  At least I know I will be IN STYLE with my jewelry.
