Earn Extra Money Making Your Friends Beautiful This Holiday Season

Here's a piece courtesy of ARA Content. It's obviously the combination of an article/sales pitch, but I thought this could be a worthwhile short-term business for some people out there to make a few extra bucks, so I'm running it.

The holidays are a wonderful time of year that brings much anticipation. But with all the fun also comes a pinched family budget. What if there was a way to earn extra holiday money while having a great time?

The Body Shop is a company that believes the holidays should be merry for everyone. Through The Body Shop At Home business, consultants hold home, office and other themed parties, which are a great way to boost your holiday earnings while spreading cheer. Consultants meet with a host and their group of friends, colleagues and neighbors to exchange makeup tips, help each other look great and to earn some extra cash for last-minute holiday gifts.

Here are some top trends for the 2007 holiday season that consultants can share:

• Luxurious bath and body treats in the nutty, indulgent scent of Sweet Chestnut - introduced this season exclusively for The Body Shop At Home customers. From body butter to hand wash, these products conjure memories of past holidays where it might be cold outside, but inside it’s warm with the happy emotions of the season.
• Gifts that give more for friends and family, from bath & body to home fragrance gifts like Totally Tropical Home Fragrance gift with Satsuma and Exotic Home Fragrance Oils.
• Enchanting make-up with gleaming metallic shades delicately contrasted with multi-colored gems. The Gold Sparkle Collection offers tantalizing textures and stylish, pocket-friendly packaging.

Working as a consultant for The Body Shop At Home lets individuals balance hectic schedules between work and home and earn extra income during the holiday season and beyond. The position offers great potential and flexibility:

• It’s a great opportunity to earn money and be your own boss, whether you want to build a long-term career or take on a second job or flexible part-time work.
• Previous experience is not required. For $220, you get a start-up kit with more than $600 worth of products. Plus, you receive free training, where you can learn how to give facials, apply make-up and host themed parties.

“The Body Shop At Home gives consultants the freedom to be their own boss and have fun on the side,” says Jo Price, Director - The Body Shop At Home. “It is an entrepreneurial opportunity that gives consultants a way to help women feel great and, with 60 percent of the products sourced from The Body Shop Community Trade Program, it is an empowering way to give back.”

Through the Community Trade Program, many products from The Body Shop contain ingredients bought from small-scale farmers at a fair price, giving them a stable income and hope for the future. This means that every time you sell a product, you know you are supporting communities where people would otherwise struggle to make a living wage.
