I now have a website with Avon, my website is www.youravon.com/ellengaffney and of course I now have the Gluten Free List on it
You can see all the options under the heading About Avon, I have Avon's Gluten Free list there
It is nice to see that even Avon took the time to form this list
There are some lipsticks , a mascara a few foundations and some personal care items and of course some fragrances.
I work for Avon and I felt that I could not use their products before I knew that there were gluten free options for skin care and personal care. I felt like I could not really do the right job for my customers since I could not try out the products to say if a product was good or not , now I can with the products that are gluten free. .
It took some time but I finally received the list and as you know I put that list on this blog but it also took me some time to think that it would be more beneficial for me to have a website so that you know that you know that I am careful with the products that are on my website. What is nice is that I have the gluten free list for our family of Celiacs but also friends and member's friends can go on the web page and order for what ever they need without feeling deprived . I love Avon I think their products are great and they are so economical for these challenging times with the economy. It is also nice that the make up and personal care items that I have listed that is gluten free does not cost anything extra even thought it is gluten free like you have when you buy food that is gluten free. I am also working with Avon to see if we can have more natural products that are gluten free. I will let you know when I have accomplished this
Sincerely Yours

BUONISSIMO 'S RESTAURANT IN BLUE BELL PA 19422
01/23/2012
I found out that this restaurant carries one of my favorite gluten free breads.
I decided to go in there today to pick up a loaf of a gluten free bread by Amarath Bakery located in Lancaster PA. I was very excited. I love this bread but I am not loving shipping charges so I thought I would go in get a loaf of this bread
I went in and when I asked for the bread that I had called earlier for the owner came out his name is Giacomo Giorgi. he was so nice and caring. He said that he is working to get more products in that are gluten free. He said in the next couple of weeks he will be having a bakery located in Blue Bell called Sweetness come in with their products, gluten free pasta and deserts and muffins.
He is looking for others to come and have on hand of their products for fellow Celiacs to come in and purchase
He also caters to Vegans too.
He wants it to be that this is going to be your one stop shopping for your dietary needs.

ALOE VERA GELLY
01/05/2011
I just started working for a company that sells natural Aloe products
I have purchased a few of the products and am waiting for them to come in
I heard about one of their products how great it was and received that product a week ago
This product is just amazing it is like having an aloe plant in a tube
This product is a miracle worker, I am 50 years old and I do not like to put make up on but without it I need some help. I have puffiness around my eyes and I have some wrinkles.
I was not expecting miracles with this product but that is what I received. I put it on in the morning and about a few hours later my husband who does not usually comment on anything we have been married for over 23 years .. He said have you been working out you look great . Your face really looks like you have lost weight
He said seriously you look about 10 to 15 years younger.
This product which is gluten free is like having a mini face lift in the palm of your hand
It just sucks any imperfections in your skin right out and leaves your skin tight but not drying
It is also perfect to have around the house just in case you have a burn.
It costs 10.95 for a 4oz tube you can get this product on my website . The website is www.thealoeshop.myflpbiz.com Just hit shop then go to the bottom of the page and hit continue then USA and go under Skin Care , then hit the body button. This product is amazing it works and the nice thing is if you are looking to earn some extra money you can get these products at a discount by joing this company which is Forever Living Products. There is no cost to join and if you want a website ( which yo udo not have to have to join ) the first two months are free to get started then it is l9.95 a month. You get to choose what website name you would like to use and if you decide that you no longer want a website you can just cancel it at any time. . .
If you would like to join you can join right on my website it explains everything there. I found this company by looking for natural Aloe products. I was not looking for anything extra as far as working but when I saw the products and heard how they were being made how natural they are. I began to see maybe I should look into joining and when I saw that it did not cost anything to join I was like this is a win win situation. I get products at a discount and I could also make money while doing so plus I can let others know about the products.
There are only abut twenty products that are gluten free if you have issues with gluten in skin care.
