Yep, you cannot mention Pampered Chef at all. Here is what I put in my profile (that I "stole" from someone else on this group):

I am an Independent consultant for an awesome company that sells quality kitchen tools and is devoted to bringing families together.
 
thanks tasha ... i guess i'll go change it right now! mind if i borrow your wording?? :)
 
tasha, i added alittle to it .. is it okay?

I am also an Independent consultant for an awesome company that sells quality kitchen tools and is devoted to bringing families together. I love my "job" and would encourage anyone who wants to work their own hours and on their own terms to try it out. If you have any questions at all, I would love to talk to you about it!

Looks great to me. Be prepared for others here to steal your wording. :D

One of the cool things about this forum is that people share so we can benefit and use their stuff. I love the fact that if I'm looking for something bunches of people will share what they do, copies of their files, and hints/tips to do it better.
 
totally agree with ya tasha ... and if anyone else wants to steal my wording, i would be very honored to give it to you! STEAL AWAY!

thanks for "approving" it tasha, i'm so confused with that stuff. thanks again

I have now sent her an email through her PWS letting her know that there is a problem with her myspace account (and pasted in the appropriate parts of P&P)

This was what triggered the change...
 
You are quoting mine! Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery! :D :D
