Excellent! This happened to my SIL, only two buying people showed up. They felt bad that no one else showed up and their combined orders come out to $115. She came back three days later with all kinds of outside orders from those that didn't show, she even told her story to her boss and her boss ordered cookware! She closed her show at $1000 too.beepampered said:
One simple way to cheer up a friend is to spend quality time with them. You could invite them for a coffee or a casual meal. Engaging in light-hearted activities, such as watching a funny movie or going for a walk, can also help lift their spirits. Additionally, sending them a thoughtful message or a small gift can show that you care and are thinking of them.
It's important to respect your friend's space while offering support. You can start by simply letting them know that you are there for them if they want to talk. Use open-ended questions to encourage them to share their feelings, but be ready to listen without pushing them to open up. Sometimes, just being present and offering a listening ear can be the best support.
Sharing your own experiences can be helpful, but it’s important to do so in a way that doesn’t overshadow your friend’s feelings. If you choose to share, make sure to keep the focus on them and validate their emotions. You can say something like, "I went through something similar, and it was tough, but I learned that it’s okay to feel upset." This way, you can relate without minimizing their experience.
Engaging in fun or relaxing activities can significantly boost your friend's mood. Consider cooking a meal together using Pampered Chef products, as the process can be therapeutic and enjoyable. Other ideas include going for a hike, attending a local event, or even doing a craft project. The key is to choose activities that allow for connection and distraction from their worries.
If you feel your friend may benefit from professional help, approach the topic gently. You might say, "I’ve noticed you’ve been having a tough time, and I think talking to someone who can help might be beneficial." Offer to help them find resources or even accompany them to their first appointment if they feel comfortable. Emphasize that seeking help is a sign of strength and that you support them in taking that step.
