About KAREN HURD

Hi, my name is Karen Hurd.  I grew up on a farm in Michigan but have been in Phoenix for over twenty-five years.  My husband and I were high school sweethearts but went our separate ways forty years ago and then found each other again a few years back. I have two children and three grandchildren.

My mother has sold Avon products for over forty years, so I guess you could say I am an Avon child.

I hope you enjoy my web site.  If you have any questions about any of our products, please feel free to call anytime or e-mail me at your convenience. 

Have fun shopping.

I grew up using Avon products, back in the good old days when Sweetheart, Cotillion, Candid colognes, the original Skin So Soft and soap on a rope were the Avon products to have.  My mother who is now 88 has sold Avon products for over 40 years; so I can testify to the reliability, quality and stability of Avon products for over a long period of time.
