here's what's new

my horoscope ...

I used to read my horoscope on a regular basis, but over the years, I somehow got away from reading it.  I did; however, decide to read my horoscope on my birthday this year.  There were actually two horoscopes to read ... the Sagittarius one, and the one written just for my birthday.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

When you love a process, the results of that process don't matter as much to you.  Knowing this, you'll commit to a certain action without worrying about whether the action will bring you success in the end.

Today's Birthday (December 4)

You'll feel strongly that you are on a mission.  In the new year, you'll be prolific, doing what you do best and doing it as often as any human possibly can.  You'll position yourself as an expert in February.  You'll seem to need less sleep in March, and you'll work late hours in order to achieve your desired result.  Scorpio and Aries people adore you.

WHY DO I LOVE THESE horoscopes?  I feel that they focus on my Arbonne business.  The Arbonne trip incentive was just announced for next year.  The trip next August is to Punta Cana ...

So, I am on a BIG mission to build my team.  Who wants to join me on the beaches next August for five FULL days ... ALL INCLUSIVE paid resort.  I would love to be sipping fruity drinks with you ... Do you want to join me?  Contact me and I will fill you in.

So I have some exciting news ... I LOVE challenges, especially if I can use the challenge to work in my love of scrapbooking.  Well, I have been a fan of the "This is Me Challenge" site for quite some time.  I love the challenges they post every week.

Well, I was asked to become a member of their team.  What that means is that I will be participating in the weekly challenges.  There are challenges every week, but as a member, I am assigned a challenge only every other week.  You will see my work on their site every other week, but I'm going to try to complete each of the challenges (even on the week's I do not have to participate).  You can see my posts here on my blog, and up on the This is Me Challenge website.  I get started next week ... watch for my posts ... I'm so excited.

an amazing evening ...

Last night I attended a "three-car" celebration for Arbonne.  We honored a leader becoming a National VP, and three girls becoming Regional VPs (which is the level when you are able to get a white Mercedes - FOR FREE).  Mercedes pays YOU to drive the car ... only thing they ask you is for it to be white.

When we pulled into restaurant last night, there were about 7-10 white Mercedes in the parking lot.  Now if that is not INSPIRATION to move forward with Arbonne, I don't know what is.  The night was AMAZING!  There was so much energy in the room ... LOVED every minute of it.

Let me know if you want to hear more about the opportunity and how to join my team ... I am going to the TOP and I would love for you to join me in doing so.

Well, Wee Bit Wednesday was back up today, so here are my responses to the questions.

{one} what was one thing that you valued when you were a kid?  Definitely the time spent with my grandparents ... all of them.

{two} what was your favorite (+ lease favorite) subject in school? Loved English (in grammar school) and did not like Spanish in HS.

{three} do you remember your first love? As in the first guy that I said, "I love you" to ... of course I remember him.  I thought I was going to marry him ... we were both so young though.

{four} what one pet would you love to have?  I would love to have a dog, but a small dog, and one that doesn't shed.

{five} would you rather live in the country or in the city? I am a country girl ... 100%.

{six} what do you love about blogging? So many things ... I love that I am able to go back and read posts from two, three,or even four years ago.  I love ALL the friends I've made over the years.  Even though I've been lacking in my posts lately, don't think I could ever give it up.

{seven} what is the first website you visit everyday? Facebook or Twitter

{eight} will you or have you joined google+? Not sure, what is it?

{nine} what is your favorite scent of candle/air freshener? Don't do air fresheners, but I love candles.  I love all the fall scents like pumpkin, and baked apple pie, and spice.

{ten} how would you describe your style? I don't see myself as really having a "style."  I wear what I feel comfortable in ... I'm not a person who wears the "trendy" clothing when that particular "trend" is in.

For more responses please go here.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

arbonne - my new adventure ...

Sorry it has taken me so long to tell you about my new adventure that I started over a month ago.  I have jumped in with both feet and have joined Arbonne as an Independent Consultant.

Haven't heard of Arbonne ... here is a little information about the company. (all information taken from the Arbonne website)

Arbonne's skin care products, based on botanical principles, became a reality in the United States in 1980 and are now shared throughout the world through Arbonne's network of Independent Consultants. Building on these same founding principles, Arbonne's product line has since grown to include both inner and outer health and beauty products that are unparalleled in quality, safety, value, benefits and results!

The wonderful thing about Arbonne is that it's not just about great products, it's also about great people. The Arbonne family is made up of thousands of individuals working to make their dreams come true. Through sales incentives and rewards, travel opportunities, a generous SuccessPlan and great products, Arbonne offers a unique opportunity that can help make anyone's vision for the future a reality.

A little about Network Marketing ...

Simply put, network marketing is a distribution system, or form of marketing, which channels goods or services from the manufacturer to the consumer through a "network" of independent distributors or Consultants. It's a wonderfully effective system that cuts out the "middle man" found in most industries.
Traditional marketing moves products from the manufacturer to wholesalers, warehousers, shippers, advertisers and retailers before ever reaching the consumer. In network marketing, all of these "middle men," including the advertisers, are replaced with independent distributors who distribute the same products throughout their own network of consumers. This way, the large profit that would normally go to the wholesalers, warehousers, shippers, advertisers and retailers goes to the independent distributors and those who help train them.
Leading traditional retailers are known to spend 25–30% of every sales dollar on advertising, media and other promotions, while network marketing uses those same dollars to reward individuals for "word-of-mouth" promotion. Because network marketing relies on developing and keeping trusted relationships, the product quality and service is often much higher than standard retail brands. After all, if you are going to personally recommend a product to a friend, you have to believe in it!

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK: NETWORK MARKETING Worldwide, there are more than 25 million distributors in the network marketing industry.
IS   IS NOT     A challenging, yet rewarding career opportunity where your income is based on your effort. Big business (upwards of $100 billion in goods and services sold globally) that is helping people put their lives back in balance. Personally empowering. In network marketing, you can work at your own pace and choose your own hours to achieve the rewards YOU are looking for. A lucrative, home-based business with a recognized distribution system, legal in all 50 states, with portions regulated by consumer protection groups, the FDA and the FCC.     An easy, "get-rich-quick" scheme. A fad that everyone seems to be jumping into, only to be replaced with the next opportunity and promises of great wealth. A cult where you live and breathe the products and the company 24 hours a day. A pyramid or scam where a few people end up with loads of money and many, many more don't.
