A better, healthier, skinnier me
At some point a few years ago, I decided that I needed to be healthier. I started by making better choices in food. While, I feel that my daily choices still could get better (I am a sugar addict), I have come to love Brussels sprouts and salads without dressing.
The next step in this journey to better health is to make better choices on portion control and to begin exercising. Like I told my brother in law at Christmas, "I just need to eat less and move more". So that is just what I intend to do and this is where I intend to tell you about it...
Here is a picture of me now, as I start this journey to better health and a skinnier me.
Why am I doing this? I am 5' 3", 230+ pounds and 34 years old. I have an eight year old daughter who gets teased at school because I am big. She is active, I am not. Diabetes, obesity and heart disease run in my family; I want to see my 50th birthday.
Stay tuned....I will do this.

August/September Business Worth the Buzz: Hand Made by Me Susan Perry
Yes, yet another friend of mine has plunged into the self employment pool! I have known Susan for some time now. I first worked under her at a local pet store, then tables turned and she worked with me at a natural body care company. Which tickles me because she now has her own body care line; it is funny how things work out.
In her body care line you will find lotions, lip balm, bar soap and scrubs. I have personally tried her Sierra Natural Lip Balm and I instantly fell in love with it. Her body care collection is literally handmade, with her hands and not a machine. The ingredients are pure and as natural as can be while sustaining a shelf life for her customers.
Susan does not stop there. She is also a seamstress and talented at other creative pursuits. As part of Nevada County Makes, you will find her at most street fairs and events. Her table is usually filled with body care, lamps, survival bracelets, totes, backpacks, quilts, wallets, hats and even trivets.
Check out her goods at http://www.nevadacountymakes.com/maker_store/hand-made-by-me-susan-perry. She offers them at a reasonable price and does not skimp when it comes to quality.

March/April Business Worth the Buzz -- Brigitte Arriaga, MY Arbonne Consultant
I like natural body care. Actually, I LOVE natural body care and cannot get enough of it! My love for natural things came about when I started working in the natural body care industry. I learned so much about what we put in and on our bodies. It erks me that harmful junk is allowed in our products, so much that I will save it for another blog post but just know, companies do not care if they are harming you just as long as they are making money.
I have a friend who is just as passionate about living clean and free of junk. Her name is Brigitte Arriaga, and she is my Arbonne consultant. Brigitte encourages you to “be the best you” and she feels that Arbonne is just the product to help you do that. Arbonne has a number of nutritional and body care products that are paraben free, vegan, gluten free and free of which ever junk concerns you.
Heard of Arbonne? Yep, it is an MLM. Nope, it is not a rip off. It started with a man in Switzerland who had a mission to create pure body care for women. Now the line has gone global, added nutritional items and has manufacturing plants all throughout the world. The closest manufacturing plant to us is in Irvine. Do you know what that means? Arbonne is a global company that employs local peeps and provides us with natural body care. Super!
So, like any body care product, it needs personal testimonials, right?!
Here is mine…When Arbonne first came into my life I was skeptical because so many companies deem themselves as natural and the only natural component to the mix is water. Not Arbonne. I tried the Vanilla Protein Powder, it is good but only fits into my diet with smoothies as it does have sugar in it. Then, I held an Arbonne party for two reasons; first, I severely needed a girls day and two, I wanted to order some Arbonne. My order had an eye shadow, lotions and lip gloss. The eye shadow I use daily, the lip gloss Alyssa (my six year old at the time) stole from me, and the lotions did not last long because they are so yummy smelling and feel so light on the skin. Brigitte was generous enough to sample me the FC5 Night Crème, which I love! My next order consisted of the FC5 Day Lotion with SPF and the FC5 Eye Cream; both of which I am very impressed with because I noticed a difference in my facial skin with in the first few days. I now look forward to washing my face!
So, there you have it! Arbonne rocks, call Brigitte!
