UPDATE...just closed the show. She collected over $300 more in OO's bringing the closing total to 860.00 ~ woo hoo!! And the host is a hairdresser - I commented on how she did such a great job gathering orders, would she ever consider doing what I do? No. Ok - but she WOULD like to keep a catlog or 2 at her station at the salon and collect orders on a regular basis, turn them in to me every month or so as a catalog show, and reap the hostess benefits. I can live with that!!

Oh you poor thing! I totally feel your pain! In the last year or two I have developed an allergy to candles, perfume etc. I get your symptoms plus I have to have an inhaler handy because some scents cause respiratory problems. Plus I get severe headaches! I'm almost to the point that I want to avoid leaving my house!!
