I Didn't Choose The Bling Life, The Bling Life Chose Me

So, I'm that girl... the one that has a $5 jewelry obsession. Have you heard of it? It's Oh, So, Fabulous!

Paparazzi Accessories offers a huge line of $5 jewelry and a small but GORGEOUS line of $25 jewelry. Before I go any deeper into this amazing company and opportunity I want to tell you the story behind this post title.

On the dreaded Monday, April 17th, 2017 I woke up, rolled out of bed, woke my son, Aaron up and tossed his change of clothes onto the foot of his bed. He got dressed, brushed his teeth and I helped fix his hair in a hurry because while the school was only 3 minutes around the corner, I woke up late and we needed to GO if he was going to snag the free breakfast at school! I hadn't even gotten changed out of my pajamas much less brushed my teeth. Poor kid... I know. We jump in the car and off to school I go. Feeling a bit like I'm in zombie mode I remind him how to behave at school and to always do his best. I forced a smile as he got out of the car and I wished him a great day.

I needed coffee so I turned in the opposite direction to head to the closest Starbuck's drive thru. While stopped at a red light, I played mom's song and it brought tears to my eyes once again. Bare with me, I'll get more into that in a moment. I wiped the tears from my eyes and saw an SUV with a pink Paparazzi Independent Consultant decal on it's back window. I took a picture of it really quick so I could look it up when I got back home. I grabbed my coffee and the barista asked me how I was doing on this fine Monday. I replied "I'm good, and you?"... again a zombie and automatic response that I had developed over the past couple of months. I probably didn't even listen to her response because I was in such a dark place at that time and didn't care about much of anything.

I got home and started working my 8 - 5 job. Around lunch time I remembered the decal on the car and quickly Googled Paparazzi. I read through the website and thought to myself that I had always wanted to start a business of my own. I was completely burnt out on my job... so why not. But I hesitated... I slept on it that night.

Tuesday morning came and you can play the first party of Monday's story again because that was pretty much my every day. This time I didn't go for coffee though, I went home and signed up to become a consultant. My sponsor called me that night and we got to know each other a little bit. She talked to me about my first steps and how to navigate the back office.

4 days later, my jewelry arrived. My sponsor told me that I would need to start taking pictures to share on Social Media. So I went through my starter kit completely in aww of the pieces that I received. I picked out a piece of jewelry that I wanted to wear, then I thought, well... jewelry isn't going to look very good if I'm wearing it with pajamas that I've been wearing the past 2 days, so I jumped in the shower and got dressed, put my jewelry on and decided to go the extra mile and put on a little make up. After about 3 or 4 days doing this I started to feel like a brand new person. I was no longer walking through my days in a zombie haze, sad, depressed, and so focused on the negative like I had been.

You see, in January I lost my mother to a very short and intense battle with cancer. She was in my care for a few short weeks, and I had so much hope and many dreams that she would be with me for much longer. But, we know that we don't always have the answers and I'm a tiny bit of a control freak, so after losing her and not understanding why such a terrible thing could happen to such an amazing woman I became a bit bitter, and angry, depressed, and everything in between. Every week day I would literally roll out of bed, get my son to school, come home, do my job, and it was just a bland, boring, sad and negative cycle. My son was constantly asking me if I was ok, I would pick fights with my boyfriend, and I would snap at almost anything... then I would cry about all of it. Paparazzi brought me out of that dark place and it gave me something to call my own, something to work at, and to be proud of.

The more I stick with this business, set goals, push myself, the more I learn and grow and I'm finding true happiness. Now, you're probably thinking "This girl CRAZY! Jewelry can't do that." Well, you're right... it's about so much more than the jewelry. The friends that I've made through this business have become my family. Whether it's my upline, my downline, sideline sisters, or my customers... they have all supported me, encouraged me, and pushed me to be a better me every day, week and month. I couldn't ask for anything more.


Now, let's talk NUMBERS. All of that is fine and dandy but at the end of the day you probably have a family to care for like I do and need to make sure that this isn't a scam or a waste of money, right? RIGHT!

The Paparazzi Starter Kit is just $99. There are a couple of others that are higher priced, but we'll do the math on this kit.

The kit comes with some tools and marketing materials and 35 pieces of jewelry. When you sell all 35 pieces of jewelry (which almost everyone on my team has done in less than 1 week) you'll end up with $175. What company out there offers a kit that is going to MAKE YOU MONEY!?!

You earn 45% profit on all of your sells. Which means, you pay $2.75 for each piece of jewelry that YOU PICK OUT TO ORDER and you sell it to your customers for $5.

Where/How can you sell the jewelry? These are my top 3 ways to sell! But it's not limited to this.

1. Facebook LIVE video
2. Facebook VIP Group
3. Basket Parties / Take it to work
