The Wall Street Journal reports: Avon Products Inc. may be seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.
The door-to-door seller of beauty products reported another quarter of sales declines, but its beleaguered U.S. business showed a profit for the first time in years, putting Avon on track to reach one of Chief Executive Sheri McCoy’s goals in her attempted turnaround of the company.
New York-based Avon on Thursday said second-quarter revenue fell 17% to $1.82 billion, dragged down by many foreign currencies weakening against the U.S. dollar. Excluding currency effects, sales were flat overall, with declines in Brazil, the U.S. and elsewhere erasing gains from Russia and the Philippines.
Avon sells a wide range of cosmetics, perfumes and accessories through a network of roughly 6 million representatives world-wide. The number of representatives actively selling products slipped 2% in

by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Before Vi, Molly and Chris Dalbec were new parents. Molly had always been athletic, but between late night feedings and adjusting to her new role, she lost sight of self-care.
She opted for quick and easy food choices for months before exhaustion and malnourishment kicked in. After consulting with a local nutritionist, Molly realized she needed to make some major changes to her diet—and lifestyle.
She was at a crossroads. Weighing the pros and cons of being a stay-at-home-mom versus returning to her career field as a medical assistant, Molly found the daycare costs compared to what she would be taking home if she went back to work simply weren’t worth the time she would be missing with her young son.
