Thrifty Thursdays

Yes, I know it is only a Wednesday! ;) I'm just too excited to launch this new theme (meme?) and had to get it kick off a day early:

 

 

You know that affordable, trendy, jewelry I mentioned in the video? Well, I just happen to be giving away a pair of earrings at Stroke Of Grace this week! Please sign up to follow my stroke blog, then leave me a comment telling me you did. Easy, peasy entry! :)

Here is more information from my friend, if you are interested:

At Paparazzi Accessories, we offer fun and fashionable accessories at affordable prices. All accessories are available for under $5. Paparazzi made it to where it is today as a direct sales company because their designs are unique and fashion-forward. All Paparazzi Accessories are also of superior quality so you don’t have to worry about having to compromise quality for affordability, as we offer the best of both worlds. It is these very same qualities that made the company and its products appeal to me personally.

As an Independent Paparazzi Consultant, Paparazzi Accessories certainly offers a very rewarding business opportunity that is unlike any other. Also, accessories are made of steel and aluminum. In some cases, wood and leather. No nickel, no lead. My company website is www.paparazziaccessories.com/15428. My store website is www.jewelry4five.storenvy.com

Lilla Rose Hair

Are you looking for easy, durable, beautiful hair clips that stay in place? Check out these by Lilla Rose. Made of piano wire (covered, so it won't damage your hair), these flexible clips will outlast most anything you have tried in the past, stay in place and hold hair well. I can put in an up-do in under a minute and not have to mess with my hair again for the rest of the day.

The hair styling video clips alone are worth the visit to the website! And yes, I am an independent consultant for this company. But of course, I don't sell anything that I don't love and use myself. :) For a consultant sign up just under $50 including 5 clips, I just couldn't pass up this business. So many beautiful styles to choose from!

Looking for a Gift?

If anyone needs a jewelry or fashion gift, including beautiful Scripture bracelets and other inspirational pieces, I'm placing an order with Gurrlie Girl the end of this week. Please email me at jsaake AT yahoo DOT com and I'll be glad to help you. :)

Product selections may be viewed at jenni.saake.gurrliegirl.com by selecting "catalogs" from the top navigation bar there. :)

30% Savings & FREE shipping!

Can you please help me make a sale's goal? When I place just $200 in total orders between now and midnight Wednesday, I will earn a 5% commission bonus on all future orders! This is a pretty big deal, so I'm willing to sacrifice a big chunk of my commissions on this weeks' sales AND pay for your shipping if you can help me make this goal. There is no sales tax for anyone unless you live in the state of Florida (where Affordable Mineral Makeup™ is located).

Please visit http://www.InnerBeautyGirls.com and explore Affordable Mineral Makeup™ using the "Shop" link located toward the bottom of the page there. Then email me your mineral makeup order at innerbeauty @ AffordableMineralMakeup Dot com between now and 6pm on Wednesday, June 9th. While I typically encourage orders to be placed through the website, for this special offer you must email your orders directly to me as I'm offering the discount personally, not through the company. You are still welcome to order directly through my website link for faster fulfillment of your order, but will not be able to receive the discount or free shipping that way.

When I get your order and confirm in stock inventory (please do pay attention to any "out of stock" notations on product descriptions on the website), I'll send you a paypal invoice reflecting a 30% discount off the retail price listed on the website and get your order placed. Orders will take a bit longer for you to receive because they will all be shipped to me then I'll have to turn around and ship them on to you next week, but the savings make a few days delay worthwhile, don't you think? :)

Please feel free to share this offer with anyone you would like and have them mention 30% in the subject line so I know they are placing an order in response to this offer. Remember, this offer expires on Wednesday evening at 6pm Pacific (to give me time to compile orders and get them placed prior to my midnight EST deadline). Looking forward to hearing from you at innerbeauty @ AffordableMineralMakeup Dot com

Tupperware Tips

Tupperware consultant Carissa is offering one $25 Gift Certificate to the randomly selected winner from all who comment on this Virtual Spa Weekend post. Earn your entry by posting your best Tupperware or beauty tip or story and earn additional entries by sharing the link to this post on your own website, blog or social network, then coming back to leave an additional comment for every way you have helped promote Carissa's give-away. :) Entries accepted until midnight on Sunday and winner announced early next week.

Carissa's Beauty Tip is that Tupperware Modular Mates work well for organizing all your make-up and jewelry. The Ovals are the perfect bathroom size for storing all the bathroom and beauty supplies. Of her home business she says, "I started with Tupperware in 2006 first as a discount consultant and quickly realized how I could make some extra income by doing catalog parties and internet sales. Since then I have a team and a goal to become a Director and drive a new car!"

New Gurrlie Girl Catalog

If you love Christian jewelry, you'll be excited to know that Gurrlie Girl is releasing a brand new 2009 catalog releasing next week!. Feel free to take a look at http://www.gurrliegirl.com/catalogs/hollywoodviewer/index.html to see the newest selections including several Bible verse bracelets and many beautiful cross necklace designs. The magnifying glass logo with the + symbol allows you to enlarge any page for more detailed views. :)

If you wish to view a catalog in person, order one from my website at http://www.gurrliegirl.com/consultants/find/info/?id=1136 for $2.75, then when you make a purchase I will reimburse your shipping charges from the catalog.

I would love to help you with your Christmas shopping! :) If you are interested in ordering anything, shipping is a flat $3.50 for any size order.

Many of the items from our 2007-2008 catalog are also still available as well and can be viewed at http://www.gurrliegirl.com/catalogs/veniceviewer/index.html

My Two Newest Ventures

I've stared two new ventues this week. The first is a new blog called Harvesting Hope from Heartache™ at http://www.HarvestingHope.blogspot.com
My desire with this site is to offer encouragement and build a library of support/resource links for life's most painful seasons such as chronic illness, losses (job, friendships, plans/dreams, marriage, deaths), financial struggles, depression and so forth. The first two (oldest two) links share the story of why I feel led to start this page and the reason behind the theme of Hope Harvesters™.

My second announcement is that I have finally (after more than a year of consideration) decided to become a Consultant with Gurrlie Girl™, a line of Christian jewelry and fashion items. I love their many beautiful designs that let me share my faith in a quiet and confident way. They have an extensive offering of Scripture Bracelets with Bible verses incorporated into the designes, along with pendants, necklaces and other pieces offering cross, fish and other classic Christian signs. They also have many lovely pieces that are not obviously Christian, yet still beautiful. The prices are quite reasonable, with many pieces well under $20.

To view the catalog online or learn more, please visit me at http://www.gurrliegirl.com/consultants/find/info/?id=1136 - I'm currently looking for some catalog show hostesses and offer great hostess gifts!

Beauty Rest - Travel and Staycation tips

Vacation! Don't you love to "run away" and be refreshed? Even God rested on the seventh day of creation and condones our season of rest (Gen. 2:3). Jesus also took time for refreshment, inviting His followers to join Him: “He said to them, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest’” (Mark 6:31b). When you get to the end of today's tips, share with me your favorite ways to get some rest!

With the price of gas I know many of us are opting for "staycations" this year, but if you are venturing into the friendly skies, don’t forget to review the Transportation Security Administration guidelines for packing! Here are a few tips to help make your travel a bit easier.

I am happy to report that mineral makeup is "airport friendly." While moisturizers and even mascara count as liquids, and are limited, mineral powders don’t cause such problems. You might also want to consider replacing your regular toothpaste in your travel bag with tooth powder to avoid yet another liquid limitation.

The 3-step travel size Natural Skin Care System from May Flowers Naturals that is featured in our Summer Skin Care Give-Away this month is also a handy travel solution, packaged in 2 oz recycled plastic bottles that are well within airline guidelines for carry on luggage. (The summer give-away hasn’t had many entries yet, so be sure to register today for great odds of being our winner!)

On the subject of vacation, why not celebrate Christmas in July? For the month of July only, you can get started with Affordable Mineral Makeup™ for just $12 instead of the normal $30 enrollment fee! In the year I have been following AMM, this is the lowest consultant enrollment fee I have ever seen offered, and it’s only available through the end of this month. If you are making regular purchase from me already, this is a great way to save yourself at least 25% on each future purchase (with the possibility of earning up to 40% discounts as your business grows).

To get $18 off your sign up, go to http://affordablemineralmakeup.com/bizopp.html and select Option #5 Consultant. Click the pay now tag and at checkout put the word christmasinjuly in the coupon section and the computer system will automatically take off $18 of your sign up fee. Please list Jenni Saake as your sponsor on the sign up form.

How do you relax and refresh? What is your favorite kind of vacation? I would love to hear from you in the comments section! Do you crave full-fledged travel, staying quiet near home, or a mini-retreat like a nice soak in the tub or a few hours with your favorite drink and a good book? If you can't take a full vacation right now, try to find a quiet place to rest, even if only for a few hours this week. It will do you good, both body and soul!

$10 Discount to Become a Consulant with Affordable Mineral Makeup

Affordable Mineral Makeup is offering a special $10 discount off your enrollment as a new AMM consultant! It normally costs just $30 to start your own business with AAM, but until midnight EST on Jan. 31, 2008, you can now join for only $20!

To take advantage of this special offer, please visit me at www.InnerBeautyGirls.com then click on the hot pink "Join Us" link half way down the page. You will select the $30 "buy now" button under CONSULTANT description #5 (please note that this offer is only valid on the consultant level, not affiliate options) and then put the word signup in the coupon section to take $10 off!

Home Business Tip

Like the Proverbs 31 woman, it seems like many of my friends today are becoming industrious at home. If you run a home based business (or three) like I do, here's a tool you will want to check out. Home Party Profits Software is a free online system for tracking all your business needs from slaes and expenses to clients and schedules.
There is the option of an upgrade purchase (bust deal when you register, some discounts still available after initial registration) that I went ahead and took, and I'm glad I did. But even if you only use the free options (and yes, it truly is free, no catches!), I think you will find this tool to be very helpful in managing your business.
