Decision Time

I've decided to drop Monat. I've been having a heck of a time selling it because it's so expensive. (Yes, my upline has stats that say that as far as high-end salon products go, Monat is around the middle of the pack.) I've been sending out samples at my expense without getting sales from them. The kicker, though, is that I found some salon shampoo and conditioner that has been sitting in a box since I left California (yes, I know, I really have to get through my boxes) and have been using it because it's too good to throw out--and my hair has never looked better. In fact, it's been looking so good that it's been boggling my mind. And the shampoo and conditioner that I've been using is cheaper than Monat (although still not cheap). And it's impossible to sell a product with which you aren't completely thrilled. (I'm not saying that Monat is a bad product though. It isn't.) I want to concentrate on Younique sales instead.

If I could find a good direct sales company that sells pet products, I'd join it in a heartbeat, however. It seems like everyone in Lincoln has at least one dog or cat. Someone on Facebook asked people in the area what businesses they would like to see in Lincoln, and a decent-sized pet store (we have a very small one that doesn't carry much) was one of the top ones on the list. The best pet DS company that I've found is called Yuppy Puppy City Kitty, and oh, the name is a problem. People around here are forgiving me for the lamentable fact that I was born in Chicago, but it doesn't mean that they want "city stuff". Anyway, I can learn from building up my Younique business, and then apply what I learn to other companies if it comes down to that.

Sleepy Sunday

I'm feeling a lot better now that I've taken the med that I have been missing. I've been sleepy though, which reminds me, I need to go get my COFFEE! It's gloomy and supposed to rain, which isn't helping. Need a shot of sunshine!

I'm having door issues with Zara. My mom suggested that I get a gate to put between the kitchen and back door area to keep her from dashing out when I open the door. I did get a gate, but it's shorter than I realized (yes, I know, read the specs), and sometimes doesn't latch very well. Zara had been respecting the gate anyway at first, but now she's jumped over or unlatched the gate. I think that she just wants to know where I go when I go outside rather then wants to go outside, but either way, it's a problem. So I'm looking for a better gate.

Onwards to get more stuff done....

Cat Plan

Zara seems to have calmed down about Mimi, although I did see her batting at Mimi through the gate. She wasn't hissing though. Mimi is starting to get interested in getting out of the bedroom. I get another four-day weekend over Easter weekend, and I'm not planning on going anywhere, so I'll try some supervised interactions between the two of them then.
