Things are really picking up

So this past Tuesday I did my first Vendor Show. I was at Branches Catering in West Long Branch NJ. It was called "Fit and Fabulous". I was not expecting much from it but it turned out very well. I was the first Vendor table when people walked in the door. Even though most of the event was actually inside another room everyone had to pass me in and out and they stopped both times. The exposure to my business was priceless. It was very encouraging to see people truly complimenting me on my pieces. Especially since I take the time to import them from different manufactures in Europe and now I have even ventured to Jewelry Trade Shows to pick my pieces. I think people were excited to know that I have my pieces available to purchase and take home with you, rather than wait the week or so.

As the weeks go on and the holidays come closer, my calendar is filling up. I have parties and vendor shows every week. I know I am going to slow down after the holidays but I am feeling confident that I will continue to be successful. Please keep checking my website and sign up for my newsletter to keep informed on New Products, Sales and Events that Anna Bella Jewels has.

My night with Mary Kay Ladies

Last night I was invited to a very fun and informative Mary Kay makeover / meeting. On certain Monday Nights the "TEAM" gets together and gives a skin care makeover class and also discusses the accomplishments of each member of the team. I have to admit I just started using there skin care products so I have not had all the results yet but I do love the feeling of them on my face.

So while a few of us guest sat around and learned about these great products and learned how to put on makeup (and I have to say we all looked beautiful afterwards) I was actually paying more attention to the Team leader. Yes she is the leader that drives around in the Pearl Pink Mary Kay Cadillac. Kudos to her. She is very motivational and loves the company she is working for. If I had the time to dedicate to it I think I would be a Mary Kay Rep. The incentives are great, the products are awesome, and it is just fun. They have retreats, bonuses, and speakers to help each Rep to maintain and keep their goals and clients. If it is extra money you need this may be the right thing for you. And I heard from the grapevine the personal discounts and compensation are one of the best in the business.

Happy Halloween!!!

In our town we trick or treat today. It is because tomorrow on Halloween is one of the largest Halloween Parades around. They want to make sure the kids can trick or treat and go to the parade. So hear I sit listening to my 3 1/2 yr old whining about it is taking too long for her cousin to come over. Mind you he is 10 yrs old and just getting out of school. The kid is already high on sugar from her parade at daycare and has not taken a nap and to top it off oh yeah there will be cake tonight for my sister in law's birthday. So if anyone is reading this and wants to swing by and take this kid feel free, I do not know how much of her whining I can take. But the little devil is sooo darn cute. I would not tell her what she was going to be until today so all she knew was her costume was white and red. She was a devil/angel. Everyone who knows her and that has seen her so far especially her oh so patient teacher saw it and said that is the perfect costume for her. And that it is. This morning Perfect little Angel .... ok mommy, yes mommy.... and then she came home from her party at school and the devil arrived. I do not get too worried about the candy because I will bag it up and bring it to my brothers tomorrow so he can give it out to the kids in his neighborhood. I sneak it in his bowl and then I accidentally forget to bring her candy home from there after we trick or treat again. I am such a mean mom. But at least this way she gets good use out of a ridiculous over priced costume.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

A Little About Me

Let me explain a little about Anna Bella Jewels. My Name is Andrea. I live in NJ. Back in I believe it was March 2008 I decide to start my own business and sell Fine Silver Jewelry. My boyfriend kept telling me this for months and I just kept blowing it off saying NAH I'd rather work for one of those "direct sales" jewelry companies. Well one early Saturday morning I woke from a deep sleep with the name Anna Bella Jewels. So I went online typed it in and it was available. So the leg work began. I am not even close to talented enough to make my own jewelry nor do I even have the time so I found awesome manufactures in Europe and the United States to create my collection. My awesome boyfriend put hours in to design my logo and website.


Back in September I thought it would be fun to start home parties. So with the help of some friends that sell tastefully simple, Mark K and Partylite we had my first successful party. It was so much fun!! And from that point on I have been busy busy promoting, networking and having some great parties. What sets me aside from the other Jewelry companies is that I own the company so I do not have to pay commissions to Reps which means my jewelry can be more reasonably priced and I also have FREE standard shipping on online orders. When I do home parties I am "cash and carry" which goes over great with the guest. Since most are used to parties that you have to wait a week or more for your items.


Well as I stated in my first blog post I am new at this whole BLOG thing so I will try to do the best I can to make it interesting to all.


Here are a few best sellers from my website:

I Finally Did it

Ok so I finally did it. I decided to jump into the whole Blog world. This could be more comical than anything since I am not really a good writer. I will be posting things about my Jewelry Company. New products, updates...etc.
Once I figure this out I will hopefully be more interesting to come back and read. So don't forget to come back and check what is going on.
