My sister is planning a girls weekend in Chicago after the new year and we are trying to find a hotel that is reasonably priced, not too expensive to park, possibly a suite since we will have 4 adults and 1 teenager. The best one I could find was Hampton Suites (The Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago...

I'm going to be joining a Tastefully Simple rep in providing breakfast for a networking group we're part of. She mentioned bringing a breakfast bread. I thought I'd concentrate on something savory. Here are the keys: I must be able to make it ahead. There are no kitchen amenities at the...

Hey everyone! I have a show that is currently at $99.50. I would really love to see it go to $150 so I can submit my second show for the month and get my free tote, but the host hasn't been able to get any outside orders. (So far at least 2 said they would order, but never did). Any suggestions?

Ok all I've got a repeat hostess who's done great shows for me in the past and frankly I've not done a cooking show for a large crowd and she's expecting a large crowd right after work on FRIDAY, this Friday....and the only thing she's told me for sure is she wants a Sponge(ish) type cake for...

This month has been slow for me. I did a party on Mar 7th and only one person came and I got no orders at all. My host was going to order $150 just so she can get to a show, but then she cancelled her order. I also had a catalog show (hoping to get my two shows) but one of my friends cancelled...

I was SO excited to see that one of my many suggestions is now a new spring product! After seeing my recruiter burn her hand on the metal tip of the Executive Cookware handle, I suggested a protective sleeve to cover the entire handle. Not only did they create that sleeve for the longer...

A local gift store is attempting to start a series of networking lunches, designed to help small, home-based businesses. I've been invited to do a 15 minute presentation on The Pampered Chef, where I'm not focused on selling, but rather just giving background on the company, etc. Also...

I have been asked by a group I did a fund-raiser for last year to do another one this year. I believe in the group and want very much to help them. However, last year their total sales were $1999.50 - not bad but for an organization with 65 members, it SHOULD have been much higher. I typically...

I have a fundraiser next month. I finally heard back from the host (broken computer) and she said they have food at the meeting so I will not have to prepare a thing. Just a demo. She sends the groups newsletter so she will be doing the invitation in the newsletter and will be telling the...

I've been thinking about a Bose Wave Radio for my home for quite some time (8 years I think!). Yes, I am treating myself for Christmas this year (I hope!) and need advice. (Big investment for me! so I've been procrastinating!) Does anyone own one? How do you like it? Is the 5 CD changer worth...
