Hard times can be busy times. That’s certainly what Bonnie Warren and Joey Levy find, taking care of their two kids, four-year-old Faye and eight-month-old Jaden, and trying to cover the bills on one one-and-one-half incomes.
But it’s summer, and the mood around the house is sunny. Bonnie’s carving out time for a new –hopefully lucrative — venture.
Bonnie Warren “I am a Mary Kay consultant. I’m nervous and excited at the same time. The lady that signed me up was telling me there’s three things that aren’t being affected by the economy: that’s alcohol, tobacco, and cosmetics!”
With her peachy skin and big blue eyes, Bonnie doesn’t wear much makeup herself, but she thinks she can still be a good representative.
Bonnie Warren “I was at Target and I did a lot of sales. And I’m really good at convincing people to do things.”
Persuasive skills are something Warren learned on her day job, as a certified nurse’s assistant at a long-term care facility. She hopes to squeeze in twenty hours a week on the beauty business.
Extra cash would go toward bills, and maybe a wedding stash. Bonnie and Joe have started talking about trying the knot in August 2010 – assuming they can afford it.
Bonnie’s still got student loans to pay off. And Joe hasn’t been able to get back up to full-time at work yet.
