FINALLY FRIDAY

It's Friday and I'm taking a vacation day!! I have a very busy weekend planned with so much to do. Saturday, I am having an early Christmas with my mom's side of the family at my house. There will be approximately 25-30 people. Did I say it was at my house? I'm not quite sure how I got talked into this.

Hopefully, I will get my to do list accomplished if I work very hard. I am going to post my To Do List. I am thinking maybe it will help motivate me.

Have a great weekend and see you Monday!

To Do List:
- Wrap Gifts (Not a single one has been wrapped)
- Bake Cookies
- Make Corn Salad
- Make Pasta Salad
- Clean Entire House (Vacuum, Mop, Dust, Clean Bathrooms)
- Address Christmas Cards
- Organize My Office/Computer Room
- Clean Out Refrigerator

GIVEAWAY - AVON ADVANCE TECHNIQUES INSTANT RECHARGE TREATMENTS


AVON GIVEAWAY - 3 LUCKY WINNERS
I have 3 Advanced Techniques: Advanced Techniques Instant Rechargers. These products won’t be available in stores until January so you are getting a very special sneak peak! I have an Intense Repair for Dry, Damaged Hair, a Volumizing for Fine, Limp Hair and a Fizz Control for Frizzy or Curly Hair.
I tried the Volumizing Instant Recharge Treatment. I noticed an immediate difference. I have short, straight hair and without using lots of hair products it is very flat. After the first treatment, I did not have to use as much mousse or hair spray and it was great. Each product has four treatments and they're both recommended for once a week usage.
To enter, please leave me a comment telling me which product you would like to try. I will choose 3 winners randomly, one for each product. Please make sure I have a way of contacting you. For an additional entry, follow this blog and leave another comment letting me know you signed up.
In addition to this great giveaway, between now and January 1st, you can use the code JINGLE30 to get free shipping on any orders of $30 or more when you use an eRepresentative.
