A whole new make up game!

 From the Cover Girl shadows of the 80's...baby blue, pink, purple & LOTS of shimmer... 

  

I went through that phase then very au natural days of my 20's and even my 30's & just some blush, powder & mascara.

 

Now that I'm in my 40's, I've upped my game quite a bit!  I even bought my first pallet from Ulta a couple years ago & now I even have finishing spray & eye brow pencils!  And I just got color matched for Seint.  Look at this make up game I've got going today...A little of this & that. I love Mary Kay & that Tarte brand was recommended from a friend a few years ago, that's what I started with & love!  

 

 

No more achy breaky body!

 In 2021 I was experiencing pain in my elbow unlike anything I'd had before. I couldn't even lift my water cup some days the pain was so bad! I made a post on FB in June, had a lot of suggestions & people telling me it's what they call tennis elbow.  Fast forward to the end of August & I was really focused on my face & decided to try this liquid collagen to help with wrinkles & lines on my face. A couple months later I switched formulas on the liquid collagen & COULD NOT BELIEVE IT...the pain was back!  I hadn't even noticed it was gone because I was just living life as normal again!

It was at that point that I started thinking you know what - my back paint & knee pain have not been bothering me either!  This stuff is amazing & seriously took away my aches!  Wanna know what it is?  I can even get you a discount code for your first order!

Look at this comparison of my face from May 2021 compared to October 2021 - obviously weight loss, but I also upped my skincare game and added collagen with out trim Liquid Biocell into my daily routine.  Look at my skin & how much different it looks.  So much goodness right here!

All collagen is not the same - 

A song got me thinking...

So there's a song that I absolutely love & it came on this morning on my way to work.  I'm singing, thinking about the movie it's from and thinking about my son.  He's a boy, becoming a man, he's 16.  I want to make sure this boy is taught to BE A MAN.  Not just a man, but a GOOD MAN!  

That's what this song is all about & these men singing are amazing & have me thinking all about these things.  I'm even thinking about my husband, all men really, being boys & growing from "boys to men".  

Watch the movie Jason's Lyric & check out this song.  I'm sharing a couple videos as I've never seen & fun to see the men who were behind this song.  So many of my old favorites!  Good stuff here! 

Check out this performance of many 80's & '90s R&B singers performing the song U Will Know

First video Black Men United - U Will Know

Check out the movie trailer here for Jason's Lyric  This is when I discovered Jada Pinkett!  Saw cutie Allen Payne for the first time in this one too! 

You are enough

If you feel like you're not enough, tell the negative committee to sit down.  Talk to God, ask him to come into your heart, to help you, guide you, let you FEEL his love, his protection and let him guide you. Let Him hold you, hold your heart and carry you through the pain. Let Him be there for you to lean on.  

He loves you and He is always listening. He is working for your good.  He is in the good days, the bad days and in all days!  Trust Him, he knows you better than you know yourself, better than anyone knows you. He knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb, before you were a thought. HE created you!  HE KNOWS YOU...and YOU are worthy, YOU are beautiful, YOU are needed, YOU are wanted, YOU are enough, YOU are loved. YOU are smart, YOU are capable...go show the world your beautiful self and know that in all days, you are more than enough. 

Liquid collagen has become a lifesaver for my aching joints

You guys...I didn't know anything about collagen until I stumbled upon my probiotic last year! This company knows what they are doing! The formulas they have come up with, the science behind them, the benefits I (and so many others) are experiencing from them. My tennis elbow pain - gone, knee pain - gone, back pain - gone! So not only have I seem improvement with my skin, hair and nails - my joints!

Liquid trumps powder every day of the week and TWICE on Sunday!

Don't believe me? Give it a chance! My friend Melissa was feeling relief after TWO DAYS. I. KID. YOU. NOT!

SQUEEZING back into my jeans!

You drop the pounds & shed some inches & you're feeling SO good!  You get to buy jeans that are a little smaller & admiring yourself in the mirror so excited about that reflection.  

But then the pizza, the nighttime snack binge watching that show & chicken alfredo, pretzels at wrestling matches, tootsie rolls at your desk...you know ALL THE THINGS that tempt you & you love to overeat.  Yep, you've SLOWLY started to outgrow some of those jeans.  

Now listen up sis!  It's time to measure out your snacks again & cut it out!  you didn't buy those jeans to outgrow them in 2 months!  Put the candy down & grab your measuring cups because it's time to reel it back in!  

I felt like Elizabeth from Eat Pray Love this morning as I was trying to get my jeans on.  

Have you seen this movie?  I recently watched (Thanks to Color Street for coming out with the Eat Prey Love sets they just came out with that took my mind there) & forgot how much I loved this movie!

This scene...HAHAHAHA

Liz: I’m in love. I’m having a relationship with my pizza. You look like you’re breaking up with your pizza. What’s the matter?
Sofi: I can’t.
Liz: What do you mean you can’t? This is Pizza Margherita in Napoli, it is imperative to eat and enjoy that pizza.
Sofi: I want to, but I’ve gained like ten pounds. I mean, I’ve got this. . .right here in my tummy, you know this. . .what’s it called? What’s the word for it?
Liz: A muffin top. I have one too.
Sofi: I unbuttoned my jeans like five minutes ago just looking at this.
Liz: Lemme ask you a question, in all the years you’ve ever undressed for a gentleman–
Sofi: —it hasn’t been that many.
Liz: Alright. Has he ever asked you to leave? Has he ever walked out, left?
Sofi: No.
Liz: Because he doesn’t care. He’s in a room with a naked girl. He’s won the lottery. I’m so tired of saying no and waking up in the morning and recalling every single thing I ate the day before. Counting every calorie I consumed so I know exactly how much self-loathing to take into the shower. I’m going for it. I have no interest in being obese; I’m just through with the guilt. So this is what I’m going to do, I’m going to finish this pizza and then we’re going to go watch the soccer game and tomorrow we’re going to go on a little date and buy ourselves some bigger jeans.

Thanks for this blogger for the post that I stumbled upon this morning when looking for the picture of Elizabeth trying to squeeze into her jeans!

I did it though & I am in my jeans!  Pre measured out my snacks too!  I have a goal to lose the 5 lbs this month that I put back on!  BAM...let's go!  Wanna know what supplements I'm using to help me & what I'm eating?  Follow me in my group on FB & hit me up for details on the supplements!  So much goodness...and I have a $10 off coupon for you!  Let's journey to feel good in our skin together!

This woman's goal...how many people can I help feel better?

So I've been in this direct sales/multi level marketing/at home parties gig since the '90's. I find a product & I fall in love and either I want the discount or...ok, so it's usually because I want the discount. Candles, scrapbooking supplies & rubber stamps, denim, nail polish strips, food mixes & spices, jewelry, warmers & wax bars etc...

HAHAHHA...truly though I love sharing what I love & that's why you sometimes will see me sharing what I don't even sell! I may not be making any money off something but I love it & I love helping others (you or the person selling) so I will talk about it, share pictures & reviews on things.

My Dad was in sales, as was my Mom & I really think maybe it was just pumped into my bloodstream when I was born! I've been told I am a natural born seller and as a Leasing Consultant, I was always being approached by people with opportunities to come work for them. Dave told me last year that I could sell ice to an eskimo. Plunder was the company where I really saw what I could do as a leader. I discovered that I loved helping other women & I was earning a good little extra bit of money on this inexpensive jewelry I had fallen so in love with & had several join my team and was even helping other women not on my team. I'm a one for all & all for one kinda girl! I feel like there's room for all of us to win & get to the top!

Last year my IBS seemed to be getting worse & I don't know what hit me or happened in my world, but I decided to try a probiotic from a company an online friend Carol had moved over too. So I get this probiotic in August 2021 & I start taking it. 7 days and I'm like no way...so after 14 days I went public on how much relief I was experiencing from my 30+ years of diarrhea and IBS (irritable bowel syndrom).

I found a few other products that I have fallen in love with, I still can't believe the joint & pain relief that I've found, energy, focus, help with weight...I never thought I'd be one taking supplements, but here I am. 49 and feeling better than ever before!

My friend Carol & I went back to the days of Plunder and we'd kept up the friendship through FB all these years. Watching each other's journey's. marriages, kids growing up etc...and it was when I was asking her about this new journey she was on & finding out about the company and the products, she told me about something new and different that this company offered their customers & I loved it! It gave me a chance to earn money towards product for myself & I wasn't even selling! I was SCREAMING from the rooftops about the success my gut & butt were having from this probiotic & 7 friends used my referral code and placed orders for themselves to try it out! I had $70 in product credit for myself! Talking with Carol, watching some videos, and hearing that I didn't have to build a team to make money, but could just sell & still make money, I decided to give it a go! I loved the products, I was paying to join but didn't have to do anything after that other than buy for myself and I loved sharing what I loved so why not.

My mindset with this company is so different than it's ever been before. I'm not here trying to rank up and just make the sales! I'm here to HELP PEOPLE. I genuinely love these products and am finding so much relief for myself. I am on a mission to spread these amazing products & get relief or build self confidence for others! I feel pretty, I feel younger, my IBS -D symptoms have gone away. I can focus better & have more energy!

I work my business from my phone most of the time. Social Marketing is what we're all about & the people in this company are amazing! It's not like some big competition where a team is keeping their images secret, but rather we even have a FB group where people create images and videos to share with other social marketers! I love the product, the people, the community that I have found here. And I love that I'm not doing parties, I'm not doing vendor events, I am keeping my time for me & my tribe, doing it my way.

This is the easiest little side hustle I've ever gotten myself into. It doesn't even truly feel like a little side hustle, because it doesn't feel like work. It's fun, I'm on social media anyways & have always been one to share what I love, give reviews & try to lead people to new to them things.

I'd love to chat with you & help you find the relief I've found! That's my goal each month - how many people can I introduce to a pain free, healthier lifestyle? Who can I help get their gut in check?
