So, I don't go to Spring Launch until this Saturday. I log onto FB today and what it right in front of my face?? Someone scanned and posted their RETIRING ITEMS flyer from Spring Launch.
Nice.
 
Yeah, I already had to ask one person to remove the new catalog COVER as her profile pic. Never checked to see if she did because I don't want to know!
 
:( Sorry ladies! I know, but I'm not sharing with hosts/customers until AFTER all the consultants know! ;)
 
I saw that too and really? One was an upper level D that had it on hers. She should know better!!!! :mad:
 
There was no flyer or special edition CN handed out at SL. Someone on CS scoured their catalog and made a flyer and I've seen it posted on FB, too. Honestly, there's not much being DC'd. Don't sweat it!

I saw that too, didn't look. I started too, but then didn't want to know if something was being discontinued b/c of restyling. I like my surprises!

There really isn't much being discontinued that you wouldn't expect. (i.e. Seasonal stuff, etc...)
 
Wow, some people!!! That's incredible!
