Spring 2012 Premier

I got attend the very Spring Premier that was held at a movie theater.  I can't even begin to describe the excitement of all those in attendance.  It was a big party for girls.  I got to meet some new people and had a great time.  The Premier itself was spectacular.  I am not sure what I enjoyed more - the new products, the cameos on WHY, the commercials or introduction to Thirty-One Gives.  

First the new products, we have 10 brand new products for spring which includes 2 items in lux leather and 2 new host exclusive items that are going to be must haves.  Lots of awesome new prints with flowers, a new paisley print and my personal favorite flutter with butterflies.  Plus in you love the pink circle spirals you are going to want the new aqua circle spirals.  Can't wait to have new catalogs to share with everyone.

The WHY cameos were encouraging, heart felt and inspirational.  From the lady who started her 31 business after her husband left her with 2 kids, to the lady who used her Dream Reward points for Best Buy gift cards to buy new computers, so she and her kids could talk to her husband who is in the military serving over seas, to the single mom making money to help her father keep the house they have lived in for 18 years.  So many great success stories and their stories are still unfolding.

The commercials were great.  It was fun to see one of our local directors in her acting debut and the cute puppy in the purse with the scarf had to be the best.


In December 2011, Thirty-One donated more than 250,000 items to children's charities through the Today Show.  At the premier, the new foundation Thirty-One Gives was unveiled.  The goal of the foundation is to help charities benefiting Woman and Girls through out the country.  Part of the announcement included the launch of the URU product line.  The first product is a special zipper thermal tote in Pink Parisian Pop.  A dollar from the sale of each tote will be donated to the Thirty-One Gives foundation.


After the premier it was time to hang out with some of my new Thirty-One friends for lunch.  We enjoyed a nice lunch of Mexican food and exchange stories of our kids and our businesses.  Suzie was very sweet (as always) and presented each of us with a decorated envelope to began saving money for National Conference.  I am excited and hope that I get to go.

January the Month of Giving

One of the awesome things about starting your own business is giving back.  I am proud to be working with an organization that donated over 250,000 products to the Today's Show Toy Drive.  I am also inspired to do my part.  

 

From now through January 13th, I will be conducting My First Annual Fund Raiser.  I will use this thermal tote fund raiser to assist my mom in raising money for her Relay for Life Team - School House Walks.   Cancer is a devastating disease that unfortunately will effect almost all families.  

 

My goal is to sell at least 50 thermal totes during this event. 

Happy New Year

Happy New Year.  I wish you a year filled with joy, happiness and love.  May all you resolutions come true and everything your wishing for come your way.

Thank you to all my family and friends for assisting me in starting Sylvia's 31 Shoppe in 2011.  Thank you for all you will do in 2012 to help my business continue to grow.


Many blessing to each of you for 2012.
