I originally saw the Dove Chocolate Discoveries opportunity posted in an ad on craigslist.  I had never heard of it before and decided to do some research.  I had tried to do Mary Kay a few years back, but never got further than ordering my kit.  It just wasn't the right fit for me.  I was skeptical about another MLM, but ended up not being able to find a single bit of negative information about the company or the products.
 
As a married mother of two (10 and 11 years old), I work a full-time office job, part-time bartending, run two karaoke shows and do freelance illustration, makeup and facepainting just to make ends meet since my husband has been unemployed.  I rarely see my kids and I can't remember the last time I cleaned my house.  I have been looking for the perfect opportunity to change all of that.
 
So, in late December of last year, I signed up.  I didn't know any local Dallas reps to sign up under, so I submitted my interest through the main website.  They linked me up to a chocolatier who lives quite a distance from me, but that was OK.  I have never met her in person, but she's been a tremendous source of information for me.
 
I held my first party on 1/9/10 and have had 5 more since then (with 8 future bookings so far!).  With the "Treat Yourself" program, I am well on my way to earning over $1,000 in my first month.  The parties are fun and easy.  I get to meet a lot of interesting people all while enjoying some amazing chocolate products.  
 
I'm looking forward to continuing my new venture and hoping to eventually turn it into a full-time business that allows me to spend my days doing what I want to do (like going on my kids' field trips and getting my house in order).  
 
If this sounds like something you may be interested in, please feel free to contact me and I'll answer any questions you may have.
 
All my best,
Shelly
