Be Your Own Business with Andrea




Hey Beauties!

Today I want to share some info about a new company that I recently learned about called Andrea. I found out about them shortly before the holidays and have been doing more and more research since to get you the 411. In a nutshell it's a way that you can start your own business from home by becoming an 'Estrella Andrea' (Andrea Star).

The company is centered around their shoes but also offer other products. The Estrella Andreas receive catalogues of the products and can then sell to their friends, family, co-workers, etc. It's a great way to start up a small business and have a side income and then gradually build yourself up to working from home as your clients grow.

The products, which are already reasonably priced, are offered to you at 30-40% discounts. So, for example if a product is priced at $100 (I'm just selecting a random but easy number to do the math with - lol), the customer would pay the $100 for the product. However the actual price for you is $60 (if the discount is 40%). So you would pay the $60 price and the remainder would be your earnings on that one sale. You can see how this can add up. Their percentages are super competitive. which gives you a good chance at earning money.

They also offer a lot of bonuses and incentives for their Estrellas as well which can help to boost your income month after month. Depending on your performance month to month they give you an added discount from 3% up to 12% added to the original 30-40%, which means a higher earnings for you.

The one thing that really grabbed me about this company is the fact that there are no minimums or maximums. You can earn as much as your little heart desires or, on the other hand, if you have a very slow month or are just super busy with other things and don't even make one sale you will NOT be penalized for it. There are no minimums you have to meet.

When venturing into any business one common fear is 'what if it doesn't work?', 'what if no one is interested?', 'what if no one purchases anything?'. I love the fact that you don't have to worry about that with Andrea. It makes it easy and stress-free to give it a try without losing anything. If you do make a profit that's wonderful. In the end, it's a situation where you can only gain from it.

If you guys follow my YouTube channel or more so my vlog channel, you know I'm a strong believer in promoting things you genuinely love and believe in. I've turned down deals and returned free products to companies that I did not stand behind. With that said, I think that you should always try a product for yourself first. As an Estrella Andrea you get to purchase your own shoes (or apparel) at the discounted price as well to give it a try.

I was actually able to try a pair myself and I have to admit I'm extremely impressed with the quality. The style is gorgeous - but I may be biased because I specifically chose that style - and the fit is very comfortable. One thing I will say straight out is that some of the shoes run a bit tight so order half a size up. the pair I selected were patent leather style and, generally, this tend to run snug with all brands, so just something to keep in mind.

I'm going to be extremely mean today and not show you guys the shoes just yet!! I'm styling the perfect outfit for them and still need to find a few pieces, but I promise I will have a follow up blog post about Andrea and a full OOTD inspired by he shoes. So until then, stay in suspense babes.

I'm leaving you guys with photos of the Estrella Andrea material that every Estrella receives. You get
all of the catalogues to share with your clients as well as lots of materials to help you understand the company and make the most earnings you possibly can.

For more information you can check out their website: http://us.andrea.com/home.aspx

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and the awesome business idea. Let me know if you try it out. I'll see you in the next post. xoxo

Secretarial: 50 Shades of Grey Inspired OOTD #5



 Hey Babies!!!

Today I'm finally sharing the final look from my 50 shades of grey video. This entire outfit head to toe is from H&M and I love the all black sleek look. I'm a huge fan of the peplum trend because it totally flatters all body types. It's the perfect way to an instant hour glass shape, weather you really have one or not. I've also been hooked on midi length pencil skirts. I feel that they are much sexier than a mini skirt because the length actually shows off your curves more. The mini skirt focuses more and showing lots of leg, whereas the midi covers the leg but hugs your body all the way down and makes your curves pop. This was my favorite look from the entire video and I hope you guys enjoy it too. <3
