Where have I been?

Thank you to the kind readers that have reached out to me over the past month wondering where I've been. 

I'm sorry. Life happened. That's really the only explanation I have.

I'm fully committed to my new project with Nerium International and my focus was on building my business. It's been an exciting few months!

Kids sports are in full force. Hailey is in club volleyball and Carson is in basketball.

I actually had projects at my full-time job.

I started a fitness boot-camp.

My blog is my hobby. I don't make a lot of money doing this, but I have passion for it.

Sometimes hobbies need to take a break so that life doesn't get overwhelming.

I finally realized I can't do it all.

But, at the same time, I realized that if I didn't change what I was doing, nothing in my life would change.

I took a risk. It's taking off. I'm becoming a happier person. I'm a better wife, mother, sister and friend. This quote I found, truly sums it up for me.

For those of you that stuck around, thank you.

I'm going to make an effort to get on a posting schedule again. 

I've missed my blog and thought about it daily. But I didn't want to post something unless it was good content to share. I shouldn't post just to post.

I look forward to making 2014 a historic year in my life. And I hope you continue to go along with me on this ride.

Change...

This time of year makes me think a lot about change. I love falltime. I love watching the colors change. I was home sick last week and found myself staring out the window. I had a nice view of one of my trees from the couch. I posted it on instagram,here it is again:

So pretty. Thing is, I probably wouldn't have noticed it hadn't I been sick and laying on the couch all day. I'm glad I caught that picture and was able to really enjoy the beauty around me that day.

I've been thinking about positive change in my life a lot lately (mostly because of Nerium). I saw this quote at a gift shop a few weeks back and snapped a picture of it. I decided to turn it into a fun printable for you. Haven't done one in awhile, so I think it was due. I hope you enjoy it. I hope you find it striking and true, just as I did.

Just think...if we all had more positive thoughts, what a better place our world would be.

Thanks for stopping by. Please share this post with your friends.

 

Live Happy. Join the Movement.

It's Tuesday, but today, is not Tasty Tuesday. I'm taking a week off to share some very cool news with you today!

If you read the post awhile back when I told you about taking a leap, you know that I have my own business with Nerium International. You can read more about that leap here. Ever since the day I joined this company, I've been motivated to make a difference in other peoples lives.

Just a few days ago, Nerium International launched another company, Live Happy. This has totally blown me away. The belief is that if we choose happiness, it will spread and this world will be a much better place in which to live. How cool is that? They are publishing a monthly magazine, Live Happy, that will be available on magazine shelves starting today, October 22nd. Better yet, if you are Preferred Customer of Nerium, you will receive this magazine for FREE, as long as you remain a loyal customer.

 

Are you ready for a HAPPIER World?

I am!

This is from my Live Happy Website:

Live Happy is a place where you can claim responsibility for your own happiness while becoming a catalyst of happiness in the lives of others.

If we want things to change, we have to create the change - and we start by choosing positivity and happiness. Collectively, our commitment to long-lasting happiness can change the world.

Just imagine the possibilities if there were more happy and positive people in this world.

A world with more peace, optimism, and compassion is possible.

Like a pebble thrown into pond, it only takes one person to create ripples of happiness.

Happiness is so contagious and infectious, that one positive person can spread happiness to more than 1,000 people!

That means all it takes to create change on a global scale is...ONE PERSON

You can CHOOSE HAPPINESS, and CHOOSE to SHARE it

YOU can be the catalyst to spread it directly and indirectly.

Are YOU that one?

It STARTS with you, yet its BIGGER than you.

Taking a leap

You may have noticed that its been a little quiet around here this week. It's for a good reason. I made a decision to change my life. In this process, I am hoping to change other lives as well. Most of you know that I work full-time, behind a computer, in marketing, with no real impact on anyone's lives. I have been craving for something more. I want to believe in something, I want to be motivated and I want success.

I took the leap to join as a Brand Partner with Nerium International. Have you heard of it? It was recently featured on the tv show The View. It was also handed out at the Emmy's. It's also a major life changer in the world of skin care.

How is this changing my life? And how will this change the life of others? Well, let me tell you. In the short week I've been apart of this company, I have learned amazing life lessons, gained new friends, and have begun to see myself as a businesswoman who wants to build a team based on the common values of love, respect for others, and financial success.

Not only that, but this product is simply amazing. It is proven to drastically reduce the appearance of:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Discoloration
• Enlarged Pores
• Uneven skin texture
• Aging or loose skin

This skin cream's main ingredient is NAE-8, an extract from the Nerium oleander plant, it's a nature-based product that has no harsh ingredients and is noncomedogenic.

This company is different. They have core values that represent something you can be a part of and believe in. And they are providing an opportunity of a lifetime!They have real science behind their product that deliever real results.
I'm proof of this. In just 6 days, here are my results. This picture is unedited (and unflattering):

I'm not here trying to sell you on this. Just wanted to share with you what I'm up to these days. If you are interested in improving your skin (face, neck, hands, tummy), this IS the product to try. It is easy to use, it's just one bottle and comes with a 30-day money back guarantee. Visit my website to learn more about the product, the company and the Nerium Ripple by clicking here.
