A 20 something small town girl growing a business and promoting pure, safe, and beneficial living
Its been far longer than I care to admit since I went to a pumpkin patch. Well yesterday I packed up the two boys I nanny and went. Ok maybe I bribed them with candy and lettuce to feed the animals but I think they had fun 😛
Next on my list is gathering fall leaves 🙂

I LOVE weekends!
Saturday I got to hike with Julie and Rocky in the morning. We had to go early as it has been HOT around here the past few weeks.
Saturday evening I got a hot date with this guy.
He hasn’t felt good lately (aweful mouth infection) so Im thankful he took me out despite not feeling well.
Our DELICIOUS meal from Olive Garden. I had gluten free alfredo and the potato soup and he had ravioli with red sauce.
Afterwards we went to an event and chatted with some friends afterwards. Nice to catch up!
Sunday morning another hike for me and then grocery shopping. Does anyone else grocery shop after moving/exercising? I forgot how sweaty I was 😛
Got home and made a bunch of banana bread to use up a million and one bananas and started a tortellini soup for dinner.
Ill let you know how it is:-)
Banana bread is a hit. Already half a loaf is gone 🙂
Tomorrow on the blog Ill share about my first day dairy and gluten free and why this lifestyle change!

Anti-Aging is a booming business not just for mature skin but for those in their 2-10’s too. Aging is only 1% genes!!! 1%!!!! The rest is up to diet, environment, sun damage, smoking etc.
Arbonne has created an AMAZING anti-aging line called RE9!
The key botanicals in this line are: Sea buckthorn (supports supple tone and smooth looking skin) Kudzu (Improves the appearance of skin firmness and tone) Marine Lavender (Helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles) Beech Tree (Smooths the appearance of wrinkles )
My friend Dee is a fellow consultant used Arbonne’s Anti-aging line and Genius pads over the course of a year with these results
!
Check out her before and after!!!
This lasts 6-9 months and come with a cleanser, toner, serum, eye cream, day cream and night cream. Im running an AWESOME deal right now where you can get 40% off, plus a FREE product, PLUS 20% off on anything you order for the next year!! Sweet deal!

The 15th will mark 2 straight months of waking up earlier for my Miracle Morning. On weekdays this means 5am! (Read Hal Elrod’s Book Miracle Morning )
My routine is still the same 1) Meditate/pray for 5 minutes-This is the hardest step for me but Im learning. 2) Affermations- I have 30 affermations I read ouf lout ie “Im enough! I deserve goid things. My business is exploding. Im financially free.” 3) Gratitude Journal- I write 10-15 things Im grateful for. 4) Personal growth reading 15-20 minutes- right now I’m reading The Secret and a leadership devotional by Zig Zigler. 5) I envision what I want my life to be like and use my vision board as a guide
My vision board or part of it at least.
I choose to do my exercise at a different time of day.
In two months my team has grown. My income has grown. I have grown! I will definitely continue this practice and can’t wait to update soon.

Happy Monday ya’al! Had another great weekend.
Friday was LONG. I nannyed from 7am-10pm! Friday night I took the two boys I was watching to see The Minion movie at the local budget theater. $3.50 a ticket is an AWESOME deal.
Saturday morning I met up with the meetup girls to walk the Bob Jones Trail -6 miles from land to sea trail in Avila CA
It was sucha beautiful day and chatting makes the miles fly by. On our way back some of us stopped at Woodstone Market for lunch. I had a yummy turkey wrap with bacon and avocado
Got home around 1:30 a took a nap!
Saturday evening we got Chinese take out and went to Andrew’s mom’s for dinner. So fun! I had my typical egg roll and fried rice 🙂
Sunday morning woke up to clouds and rain!! Yay! We need rain so desperately.
Got in a 50 minute hike/walk with my friend Julie and her dog Rocky.
Came home and heated up some left over fried rice.
Sunday afternoon I caught up on life, napped, and prepped for the week ahead.
Would LOVE to hear about your weekend 🙂

I had a beauty bar at my house on Monday evening. It was so much fun!!
I made some goodies
Then set up all my makeup, anti-aging skin care, & nutrition and invited some ladies to come try!
It was low key, educational and FUN! Im so enjoying talking to people about changing their products to more pure, safe and beneficial ones!
Makeup was a huge hit on Monday and a few ladies are switching over to Arbonne cosmetics!
If you want to talk products lets chat!

What a fun weekend! Friday afternoon was full of Arbonne and chai tea! Friday night Andrew called me as I was leaving Pismo and said I could swing by where he was working and then he’d take me to dinner 😀
Panda Express two Fridays in a row. Not glamorous but he loves it and they have some healthy options for us both.
Saturday I got in a walk with my friend Julie and then hung out and got more work done at this cute, eclectic, cozy coffee shop in Orcutt called 6 Degrees!
I had you guessed it Chai tea and a yummy cinnamon roll! I savored every bit over the course of an hour or so. Nice to take it slow 😛
My poor car has been so neglected in the cleaning department so I gave her a good wash….Well the car wash did
Saturday night was girls movie night in San Luis Obispo! Love this new group of girl friends! We saw Baby Momma (SO funny!) and snacked on popcorn, fruit, veggies, cookies and wine 😛
I got home way later than planned but it was so much fun!
Sunday morning after doing some cleaning Andrew and I met my friend Paige and her hubby and our friend Adrienne for church in the park and a yummy BBQ lunch
Ended Sunday with a nap and grocery shopping 🙂

The word “exercise” is so unappealing. And “work out” is even worse. Those words bring up a feeling of duty or punishment.
Movement is my kind of word 😛 I move my body daily and enjoy it when I think of it in a healthy and happy manner. When it isn’t a duty but a joy. When it isn’t a must do but a get to.
My preferred methods of movement are walking, yoga, & hiking. I used to be a runner but I hated it. Took me almost a year of doing it before I said not thanks Im good. Yes I lost weight from it but it was not an enjoyable experience and I dreaded it.
So with all this being said, find your favorite(s) way to move and do it. If it gets boring find something else. Don’t go to the gym because you have to. Dont run because you have to. Don’t lift weights because you have to. Do what ever you want to!
What a whirlwind of a weekend! Friday it was HOT out and I SO did not want to cook so we chose the next best thing…Panda Express
Saturday morning I woke up at 4am to drive to Anaheim, NOT for Disney but even better, for Arbonne!
What a long, fun, empowering day!
This shows all the highs of the day! Good food, awesome products, palm trees, sunsets, & FREE Arbonne goodies! It doesn’t show my GPS not working and me guessing how to get home….4 and a half hours later…it doesn’t show my awesome sideline sisters! It doesn’t show the beautiful hard working leaders who poured into us. It doesn’t show the growth and call to action!
I had a hard time sleeping Saturday night. Not sure if I was over tired or too excited!
Had a wonderful breakfast at a local restaurant The Pantry Sunday morning with Andrew and some friends.
Did some Arbonne work, grocery shopping, & a nap Sunday afternoon 😛
