Did your Direct Sales Company close down.....?

Bon jour!

I'm sure many of you are very sad over the closing of your much-loved companies....I can only imagine how hard this must be for all of you.  I've been in the direct selling business for the past 18 years so I can put myself in your shoes, it becomes part of your "family".

Direct selling is like, no other business.....Not only did you lose something you loved doing, but also the source of your income, that many of you worked years to build.  How sad to think you may also lose contact with many of your loyal customers & down line, (that you've come to love and admire over the years), as they head off in different directions.

If you have not found a new "Home" yet, I would love to have the chance to share Votre Vu with you.  After spending years with another direct selling company, building a large downline and earning many incentive trips, I decided to make a change.  I came across Votre Vu when I was a vendor at at Christmas Boutique almost two years ago.

My hubby watched my booth for me while I spent a few minutes shopping with other vendors.  One vendor, caught my eye.  She had a small table with a display of gorgeous "French" skincare!  It was "luv" at first site for me.  Something on her table "grabbed" my attention....... It was Votre Vu's "Duette" hand creme. 

I just had to pick it up.  Never in my life have I seen such adorable packaging.....  On the top of the hand creme was a pot of "fabulous" lip balm with it's own mirror attached.  Then I sampled it.....and I was hooked!  Oh my gosh...my hands came in contact with such a "chic" delightful aroma and it just felt like "silk" going on. 

I could not stay and chat with the vendor so she sent me home with a catalog.  I knew in my heart I just found "something" very special in Votre Vu and with my new found treat, Duette!

A few days time later I contacted the vendor and asked her if I could get some samples to try.  The next day we left to go up to our Big Bear cabin for the Christmas holidays, and you guessed it......all I could think about was Votre Vu!

I knew I didn't need to wait until I got the samples......  How often does the opportunity to join an awesome company at the ground level come around???

Especially when I was "sold" the minute I tried Votre Vu's "Duette", and I knew it!  So.....I called my upline and signed up that very day & I have never looked back.

Votre Vu is one of a kind!  I've never been with a company like Vu!  In my opinion, they have the most fantastic home office!  They can't do enough for us.

And take a look at our Airstream VuBAR....mobile spa.  It travels the county sharing our luv of Vu.  I've had the "best" time working at the VuBar and I have met many wonderful customers during my travels!

Wow~A large 5.9 Earthquake hits Washington

Bon Jour~

Lots of buildings in Washington DC are being evaucated due to the large earthquake that just hit. 

Maybe this is the "jolt" our Leaders needed to remind them to get back to work on our economy!

All kidding, aside, I pray no one was injured or hurt....we have lot's of earthquakes in Ca and they aren't fun.

ta...ta...for now!

I just "luv" tea parties!

Bon jour~

I don't know about you, but I just "luv" going out for tea.....it's a wonderful time to just relax and chat with good friends & enjoy yummy treats!!

This picture was taken 55 years ago, when I was two.  I've always been a "girly girl" and playing tea was right up my alley! 

Today my good friend, Kim and I are going to "Paris in a Cup", one of my favorite tea houses in downtown Orange.  Since I only drink herbal teas it's fun to try the special blends they serve.

Well, I've got to run and get ready for "tea"....

I'll post more pictures soon! 

Update......Kim and I had a wonderful time at tea.  We've been friends since the 6th grade.  It was so nice to see her and catch up! The tea and food was delicious, as usual.

Vu...la...la.... had such a good time!  She was "rubbing shoulders" with Marie Antoinette, bathing beauties and more.

Vu...la...la...

asked me to take a close up shot of her face.  She wanted to show you her beautiful "peaches & cream" complextion!!

Vu..... has been using Votre Vu French skin care and she just "luvs" what it is doing for her face, body and hair!

 I'd "luv" to mail you some samples!!

A little while later, Kim and I spotted Vu.....with some "bathing beauties"!  We could not believe how she was acting, so we decided it was time to go home before she really got out of hand! 

You never know how these "French" gals might behave.  I know from experience, I've got some "French" in me!!!

Anyways.......

I do have to say that before we left Vu....la...la...started acting like a "lady" again, thank goodness.  She decided to leave a good impression with you by taking this very "formal" picture.

ta....ta...for now, my "tea party" friends!

The Adventures of Vu...la...la...

Bon jour~

I'd like to introduce you to: Vu.....la....la......  She's my Votre Vu travel doll!  I purchased her some time ago, from one of my favorite Etsy sellers, Laurie Duncan.  I have a number of darling "pixie's" that I've purchased from Laurie over the years..... I "luv" to use them to decorate my house for the holidays.

I was thrilled when Laurie came out with two "Paris" style dolls so I bought them both.  The first one I named Vu...la...la and you will have to wait to meet her "bff" later!  She's very "cute" and wears her hair in pig tails.

Problem, is, she's very "shy" and doesn't know if she want's me to post her picture yet.  I'm going to invite her to "tea" at Paris in a Cup next week with my best "childhood" friend Kim.  Maybe I can sneek in some shots of her!!

Vu.....la....la....is very "chic"  She only uses Votre Vu's naturally-based French Skin care.  Just take a look at her peaches and cream complexion!!  Her favorite product in Vu's line is "Duette" hand creme/lip balm duo.  Vu just "luvs" the little mirror on top of the tube.  She can always make sure her "make up" looks perfect throughout the day when she drops "Duette" into her bag!!

Recently, Vu.....la....la....started asking me if she could attend my events......lunches, dinners, teas and more.  I was more than happy to let her "tag" along.  She makes it very easy to help me spread my "luv" of Votre Vu.  Vu....la.....la  is a great conversation piece and pretty much, "minds her manners" at restaurants, unlike some of the loud, noisy people we have been running into lately.

I got the idea of a "travel doll" from a doll club I was in a number of years ago.  They told me they took small dolls with them when ever they traveled.  I thought the idea was cute so Vu will be in a lot more of my"pics" soon!

So far Vu....la....la has been on a couple of outings.  She just "luved" her visit to The Huntington Library with Julie and Glad!  She even made it into Julie's digital scrapbook!!  Vu....la....la....took along "bebe" duette on her trip to the Huntington......she told me it was the perfect size to put in her small bag that day.  And she just "luvs" the "pink" lip balm!!!

Vu's been out to eat with Sharon and Carole twice!  At this rate, she may have to go on a diet, like I do!!!! 

Can you guess where we ate????

You can't believe how much Vu......had us laughing that day......

She just could not decide where she wanted to take her picture.  Just like a women......she kept changing her mind......

All in all, Vu........la........la......is a pleasure to travel with, she doesn't pack much and as you can see from her picture she's a "light" eater.

Which brings me to my tip~~~~~~for today: 

If' you've been eating too much this summer, be sure and try Votre Vu's C'est la Vie Slimming System Total.  Correct your contours and eliminate unattractive fatty deposits while luxuriating in fresh, natural aromas from this tandem team of lump busting active botanical agents.  During the day.....use the light and energizing gelee to stimulate drainage and your circulation, forcing toxins "on the lamb" and off of our limbs!  At night, a rich and powerful "undercover" team of marine elements work quietly to take out the undesirables hanging onto you, safely creating a slimmer and smoother form to flaunt.  The combined action of these two different formulas may help restore and improve your body's form.

ta....ta.....for now!
