Tough Times...? Votre Vu can help!

Like many of Americans, the state of the world's economy has hit our family hard. We've seen a huge decrease in our investments. Investments that were supposed to sustain us during our retirement and help us fund our kids' higher education. We bought a new house and watched it's value decline far past the value of our loan. I know that mine is not a story you haven't heard time and time again. Every news show and magazine article seems to focus on the continued bad luck of our middle class.

With all of this being said, I've really contemplated returning to work as a means to contribute to the family budget. I've been checking out various positions online. Of course, I need one that will offer flexibility--After all, I have two kids that any job I consider must be able to work around. Then there's the cost of daycare. So, now I need a lucrative job with flexibility. Are you laughing yet?

Well,let me tell you of my journey. A family member introduced me to Votre Vu back in November 2008. Votre Vu is a naturally-based, French skincare line that just launched in the United States in January 2009. I was very skeptical. Direct selling hasn't had the best reputation of late and I truly felt bombarded by skin care and didn't think this line could be any different from all the others out there. One thing led to another and I received some samples. I truly noticed a difference in my skin in ONE day. It wasn't perfect--far from it--but it was pretty. It was hydrated instead of flaky. It had a healthy glow to it. I was completely impressed with the line. Hence, I decided to be a consultant for the discount.

After about a month of trying it out, I realized it was so easy to promote the line. So, I decided to have a few girlfriends over for pizza and beer and let them sample some things as well. Little by little, I got more comfortable sharing it with others and I started getting paid for it. YOU can too!!!

This isn't some "get rich quick" scheme. I fully admit that I've been working hard, but it's MY schedule. It's a schedule that has allowed me to work around my family instead of working my family around my job. I work some nights, some weekends, and I'm always training and learning new things, but I'm having a great time and I'm making money. YOU can too!!!

And as far as what sets Votre Vu apart from the others? Many things!!! First of all, Votre Vu has partnered up with a lab outside of Paris, France that has been in business, supplying the finest European salon and spas with luxurious products for over 80 years. All our products, except for Snapdragon (our beauty beverage) is manufactured in small batches in France. The botanicals and plant extracts used in our products are all grown in France as well. France has the optimal growing conditions for things like Aloe and Lavender that are used in many of our products. And once you get to know our products, you'll notice they have less fillers than traditional products, which means you are going to see better results faster and use less product!

The business opportunity is also the most coveted! First of all, it's a ground floor business opportunity, so the earning potential is huge. Secondly, Votre Vu offers a binary compensation plan, which is very consultant friendly and allows us to make more money with less effort.

I encourage you to check out a couple of videos I've posted on my website: Go to www.votrevu.com/staceygarry and click on "join us" and just listen to what Votre Vu has to offer. I really think you'll be impressed by the products, the business opportunity and the company themselves. And one thing that I want to make clear--You do NOT have to be a skincare expert to start this kind of business. Votre Vu provides all the training necessary!!!

Today, London and I were watching TV and a cheesy commercial came on and for whatever reason, maybe the theme song or the devastating pictures, both of us completely stopped what we were doing and watched it till the end. The last caption said, "There is nothing more important than just being there" and I looked at my daughter standing next to me and I felt such a deep magnitude of feeling that I almost teared up. Truly, when I look at my kids, there isn't anything more important than just being here. And I'm thankful that Votre Vu has offered that not only to me, but to everyone! Anything is possible with them! I encourage you to listen to my story and check out my web site. Your opportunity awaits!
