Partylite is awesome and thanks for making an interesting spin to it. I agree with Dionne, being my own boss and creating my own hours is what attracted me. Keep up the good work!

I was googling Black women who sell partylite because i wanted to start selling partylite with people whom would understand my selling base and it has been almost impossible to find. I live in Los Angeles and they sent me to a rep way in the inland empire! I really love the product, i love the idea of having my own business that i can manage at my own pace while i work full time and attend college. i just dont want to have to drive and hour just to receive support. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :) Dionne aka CoCotreasure First of all, great website.

The herbs used in the tea are Holy Thistle, Persimmon leaves, Malva leaves, Marshmallow leaves, and Blessed Thistle. I was introduced to the tea by my mother's (who is now retired) supervisor. I tried the tea out after having a 2 week struggle with constipation, and needless to say...I was totally relieved. I decided to sell the tea after receiving the blessing from my moms ex-supervisor to sell the tea in her place.So if you are having digestion or regularity issues..please take the time out to visit my website @ http://www.holyteaclub.com/divinetea87 thanks!

I used to work 40+ and have a side hustle of catering small events, pre children. I hope to get back into on a more consistent (you know if the $ is right I will take cater and event) basis when my children are older and open my bed and breakfast. Right now am I am going to start learning how to make soaps so I can have signature items for the B&B. I currently work as a job coach and make my own schedule so I can have more Mommy time. So it is all about whatever gig your doing working for your life. My husband took on more hours at his job because you know with a flexible schedule I also took a cut in pay from my previous job as an HR Director. Love the sight.

I started side hustlin when I was a teenager. I had babysitting clients. I made took a jewerly class and sold my creations. I put an ad in the paper and taught one on one sewing classes in my bedroom. One time I hosted a shopping trip to outlet stores in New Jersey! This was all before graduating high school. By the time I graduated from college and worked as an RN for a few years. I need a way to express my creativity. So I started Indigofera "treasures for body, mind and soul" At craft show, flea markets and spoken word nights I sold my handcrafted body care, soy candles, gemstone jewelry and eclectic gifts. Over the years my company has grown and acquired clients all across the country. During my journey, I began to incorporate natural hair and skin services to my clients and fused it with my plant based product line. In 2006 I opened my own studio in Philadelphia. Today, I teach others how to follow there heart and pursue their passion. My book "Seven Gems for Entrepreneurial Success" is full of practical principles for aspiring entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are a special type of people, I really do believe God made us different. Be Radiantly Beautiful, Chanelle Washington, Indigofera Beauty Expert Greetings,

I have been trying to think of ideas for a side hustle(s) for some time now. It's expensive living the DC area so I'm always trying to come up with ways to make it easier to make my ends meet. I am really passionate about beauty so some of the ideas for side sales businesses sound great. I am also trying to turn my blog(http://fatandfab.blogspot.com) into a medium that can generate some money for me. Right now it's a work in progress. My target audience is plus size women so I like the idea of building an online store but I have to keep searching for places that include plus size clothing items...sigh. But there is a lot of great info in this post that I will definately be using. This article was right on time for me. I have been trying to think of ideas for a side hustle(s) for some time now.
