Tupperware Parties - better than ever

Have you looked at Tupperware lately?  
Do you know what Tupperware has to offer now?  
We are so much more than those old "burp bowls".  





Not that there is anything wrong with a "burp" bowl - we still have those.  I have a few of those.

And this set of Wonderlier Bowls (yes this HUGE set) is coming for a limited time in a few weeks (shhh its the February brochure), but you can get our "smaller" set of three at anytime, and of course they are wonderful too.

Or the Thatsa Bowls - if you need LARGE bowls (Medium holds 19 cups, Mega holds 42 cups!)









But we have so many more things for your kitchen and your parties.


Like these great microwave pieces.
This one, TupperWave Cook-It™ 2¼-Qt./2.25 L Bowl, or the smaller TupperWave Cook-It™ 1½-Qt./1.5 L Bowl, is great for soups and stews in the microwave.

I will be using mine, I think, for some Super Bowl Chili this weekend.







Like our UltraPro cookware ...
that are Microwave AND Oven Safe!
Just look at this great recipe that you can make with UltraPro cookware


I don't have the round UltraPro, but I've made this in the smaller rectangle one 
and may just have to make this again this weekend.


And then there is the Smart Steamer.  This one is a dream in the microwave!  Everyone is hopping on the healthier cooking train and having steamed meals to retain the vitamins and minerals in veggies is at the top of the list.  This steamer is PERFECT.  The only thing that is exposed to the microwave is the water in the bottom container - the microwaves heat this water to boiling, that then steams the food to perfection!  There are so many wonderful meals that can be made in this baby, not just veggies!  I even have a recipe to make your own Sliders that I will email you with your order that are like those White Castle ones, only BETTER.

And remember - if you order from me directly, or join in on my current online party (that is not on a party with a hostess/friend) by putting in your name and email address, saying you will not attend you can then place your order, AND your order is more than $50,


I will send you a Tupperware eGift Certificate, to use on a future order!


I am sending these certificates in $5 denominations -
order product of  $50 to $100 get $5 certificate,
order $100 to $150 get $10 certificate,

$150 to $200 get $15 certificate or talk to me about being/having your own party (with TupperConnect for family and friends to order too) and get hostess credits/bonuses too!

It's finally Friday

Well lets see ...

its January 31st  .... end of the month

AND of course you know there are all kinds of things (special sales) that are ending at Tupperware today with this having been the "extra" long month of Super specials.  You know what Super Specials I'm talking about right?  Like the 40% off Modular Mates (gotta LOVE an organized pantry or cabinet) or the super cute red hearts for just $4!  But these all end at midnight tonight, so don't miss out.

There are these and so much more that you can check them out on my Tupperware Site 

But it is also time to 



Happy Friday!

Don't Give up

Here's another one of those "pep talk" or "inspirational" pictures to get you ready to start the week off on the right foot.




Sometimes you just need to be reminded that all of this, all the trials and tribulations that we go through from one day to the next - will eventually all work out if we Don't Give Up!

So are you with me?

Have you put on your Big Girl Panties?

Have you had your coffee?  You know I don't start the day without my coffee.....


OK LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!


Have a wonderful week.

Todays wish for you

I hope you all stay warm today, wherever you may be.
We are having a "heat wave" here in NJ today - its 23 degrees (or so my outside thermometer says from the comfort of the INSIDE of my house).

I saw this the other day (I don't remember where but there are some "credits" on the picture) and just thought it was perfect to share with you today.

My wood stove is "cranking" out the heat ... thank you for all the wood we have still stacked outside the garage.  Yes that means I have to go outside to actually get the wood - but if I bring in a little each day we should be ok until the weather "breaks" again.  It can't stay this cold for too much longer, Can it?


So what are those good things that you would like to see come true?

Is it the winning lottery ticket?  Or just a warm comfy blanket?

Do you have plans for the day?  Are you in a snowy area so you can go sledding or skiing?
We have the snow, but I don't ski (ski season and tax season co-inside so ... you know which one ends up winning in this house) and I don't think I've been sledding since my son was like 8 ....... and he just turned 28 (oh me how did that happen?)

I think I will just stay by the wood stove, and have a nice cup of cappuccino - yes that sounds like a great idea.  What do you think?

Be that ONE

While I'm sitting in a seminar in the nuances of the tax changes for this year ... I will leave you to ponder this.

I know I have heard this before .... EVERYTHING starts with just 1.



Sometimes you need someone else to be that one.  
Sometimes you need to BE that one.

Start today and look for times that YOU can BE that one.  
When YOU will make a difference
just by being 
THAT ONE.


How about we start today - together.
How about we make that pact to look for ways to make a difference
Just by being THAT ONE for today!

Are you in?
