In an effort to try new and exciting things, I have become
an Independent Consultant with Thirty-One Gifts. One year ago, I had no idea
Thirty-One existed. A year ago, I was miserably pregnant and not able to see
past my enormous belly and swollen feet. But time marches on, and two beautiful
babies and 11 months later, here I am ready to dive into my business.
My first introduction to Thirty-One came in the form of a
Large Utility Tote. A gift from one of my best friends and favorite
photographer Lauren Jaeger, I fell in love. With a bag. I know, it’s crazy, but
it’s true. It is perfect for just about everything. It slides in the backseat
on the floor in the car, perfect for road trips with the babies. It hangs
perfectly from the handles of my Snap-and-Go stroller (another of my favorite things,
more on that later). It’s great for trips to Cost-Co and Sam’s (yes we belong
to both, we’re wholesale junkies). I use it for transporting food for parties
and potlucks. It’s a perfect toy chest and laundry basket. And to top it off,
it’s pretty, and it boasts our name proudly “Fahey” in a lovey font. What can I
say; I’m a sucker for personalization.
I was so in love with my tote, I went in search of another.
So, I typed in www.thirtyone.com. Nope,
that wasn’t getting me where I wanted to be, that took me to some page about
the Netherlands. Interesting I’m sure,
but no time for that, I needed another tote. So finally I found it. www.thirtyonegifts.com! YES! Here it
is! I looked through the catalog and was ready to place an order
when…gasp!...I was told to contact my consultant to place and order. What?!? I
don’t have a consultant. What do I do?
Well, then I heard opportunity knocking. Or maybe it was my
husband knocking on the door letting me know it was time to feed one of the
girls, who were eight weeks old at the time. Either way…there was knocking. I
thought, “this is for me, I should be a consultant”.
The website directed me to a lovely woman from Texas. Her
first email to me was signed “Blessings in Multiples”. It was meant to be. She
too has twin girls. I didn’t have a lot of time to focus on building my business
then, the girls were barely sleeping for more than 2 or 3 hours at a time at
that point. So Shannon and I spent several hours on the phone trying to sort
out how to get through the next few months caring for and nursing twins. She
was my angel (along with so many friends and family, especially my Mom, who
helped us get through the first 16 weeks).
Now Clare and Elise are ten months old. I can’t believe how
fast time flies by! It has been the craziest and best ten months of my life. Gosh
I love those girls. They could melt a heart of stone. It’s true.
But anyway…back to the bags! You see why it’s hard for me to
focus? I’m ready to spread the gift of Thirty-One. The products are awesome.
The company is great.
I want to help you find the perfect gift for someone
special. Or, for yourself. This is what I like to call “no hassle
shopping”. I can provide as much or as little help as you like. Some of my
clients just give me an idea of the occasion and their budget and have me take
it from there. If you are like me, you love to shop and want to do all the
picking out yourself. Either way, I know you’ll be happy with your purchase.
If you are looking for an opportunity, and waiting for the
knock, I can help with that too. I am building a team of women who are fun
loving and want to embark on a new adventure.
