AVON AND ME

Every time we told anyone about Avon Calling, they would launch straight into a little anecdote about Avon – their mum used to be the Avon lady, or their auntie, or their first lipstick was from Avon. Often these stories were personal, about family members, about childhood. We created AVON AND ME so we can share all of these stories with each other.
Share your story by filling in the web form, by emailing story@avonandme.co.uk or by tagging blogs, photos, video, audio or tweets on the web (Twitter, Flickr, Audioboo, Delicious, Technorati). Your story can be short, long, funny, sad, touching, embarrassing – all are welcome.
