Hello ,

The past couple months have been gone by so fast for us that we’ve not been keeping up with the monthly newsletter. However, WELCOME MAY! That’s right, May is here and nearly over already. With that comes the outdoor vendor event season. Our typical biggest single day sales event is just two weeks away. Participating in summer vendor events, farmer’s markets, etc. are a great way to build sales and get your name as an Avon Ambassador.  Remember it is also the beginning of Bug Season and Avon’s amazing Bug Guard will be featured during C13, 13-30 Jun. The C13 What’s New (Preview here- https://brochure.avon.com/avon-us/2026/whats-new/c13-whats-new-en/) can be ordered from now with C11. Kimberly and I like to take advantage of the What’s New deals to stock up on Bug Guard in preparation and some nice promos for the summer events. For example, we have a booth at our local fireworks event every year. In just four hours, we’ll sell several hundred dollars of product, taking only Bug Guard, hand creams, and Skin So Soft bath oils.

DID YOU KNOW? - Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Towelettes were featured in Wired Magazine as their choice for BEST Bug Repellant Wipes for 2026? Bug Guard products are often featured by various reputable sources.

If you’re interested in learning how to do a vendor event and building your sales, reach out to your personal mentor. Not sure how to connect? Reach out to us and we’ll be happy to help you or connect you with your mentor if we aren’t your mentors.

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS:

• Remember - 2026 is Avon’s 140th anniversary, founded in 1886. Many consider Avon the original direct selling company.
• C12 (3-16 June) - Skin So Soft is getting a new look and will be featured on the C12 cover. For 65 years Skin So Soft has been an Avon staple.
• Silicone Glove hand cream and Moisture Therapy lip balms ARE BACK! Silicone Glove is repackaged and now under the Moisture Therapy product line instead of Avon Care. Although both items have been slightly reformulated, meeting all of North America's production requirements, we’ve been very pleased with the new releases and are excited to get these back into the hands of our customers.

As mentioned in January, Avon Account Executives (AEs) have reorganized and renamed Field Strategy and Growth Managers. Kimberly and I have been excited to begin working with our new Field Manager, Lisa Wright. Together with Lisa, we will be hosting an Avon event here in Dayton next month. More details below.

What’s happening with us?

During C10 Kimberly achieved the Avon sales title 10-Star Ambassador ($10k+ in sales) so far for 2026. We’ve taken several trips already this year including Niagara Falls, California to help our son and his family prep and move into their new home, a quick overnight trip to Cincinnati with our daughter and her family as our son-in-law ran the Flying Pig half marathon, and a much needed four night trip to St. Clair, MI over Mother’s Day, where we spent several hours just chilling (literally - mid-50s) on the balcony, overlooking the St. Clair river into Canada.

We will be staying home now until the end of June as we anxiously await the arrival of our third granddaughter, EMILY IRENE. Yes, we finally learned her name two weeks ago. In September, we will be watching both Addy and Emmy three days a week. Meanwhile, Kimberly has been acting as POA for a distant cousin, who has no family, and who, since March, has had three major back surgeries, two additional unrelated trips to hospital, and has been recouping at a local recovery/therapy facility.

RECOGNITION

So far this year, at the close of C10:

• Sandra McMoore - Dayton, OH has surpassed $22K in sales and is on track to earn the sales title, Elite Ambassador no later than C12. She is a real hustler and is out there working her business every week. 
• Kimberly Elam - Dayton, OH has surpassed $10K in sales and retitled 10-Star Ambassador.
• Carrie R - Troy, OH - $4,000+ and tracking to achieve sales title 5-Star Ambassador NLT C12.

Team MuchMoreThanLipstick - That’s all of you - has not hit the Top 100 Teams yet this year, however, has been within $1000 or less SEVEN times thus far. Just one extra sale per person could put our team back in the TOP 100! Either way, being as close as we are to that Top 100 list is an honor and we’re excited for our team! About 25% of the total Team is active at any one time, and about 25% of the active Team has orders each campaign. (This is in line with national averages; sometimes better than national averages.)

So far this year, 57 new Ambassadors have joined the Team. We’re SO EXCITED for team growth!
