Why I decided to join It Works

If you read my blog, then you know that on my last post I said how I've been super intrigued my companies like It Works and Mary Kay. The extra money sounds appealing. Of course it does! It's supposed to! And some of you may say that I'm a sucker and I fell for it and became a distributor, but the way I look at it, I'm a winner. I get the opportunity to try something new, to have goals and dreams and to work a business. I get to meet new friends and help other people live healthier lives. And worst case scenario? I don't sell anything or make any money, but I spent 99 bucks trying something that I've been interested in for a long time. So really, I don't see how that's a loss in any case. Would I love to make money? YES! Is that my goal? HECK YES! I'm going to do my dang best at trying to work this business. I know that some people won't support me, they'll think I'm stupid or annoying or whatever lovely adjective (that's what it's called right? adjective? i dunno... but we'll go with it!) they want to. But honestly, it's more about how I think of myself. Other people's opinions about me don't matter unless I allow them to. I haven't been able to get this business out of my head for over a week. Seriously, I think about it all the time. So I figured, why not put all that thinking to good use? Thinking about a business and not trying the products or trying to sell it isn't going to do anything for me. It's just me wasting my time. But if I put that thinking into working and doing and seeing how far I can go, then I figure it's time well spent. Even if I fail. Even if I don't sell a single dang wrap or any of the other products we have (which is a lot. WAY more than I thought there was to this business) then at least I can say I tried and cross it off my list. I don't have to wonder "What If" anymore. What if I tried it? What if I suck at it? What if I do well at it? My what if's will be answered and I can go on with my life, either with more money! (hopefully) or at least saying I tried. But as our friend Yoda says, "Do or do not, there is no try." So I'm gonna do my dang best and see how I do! I'm sorry if you think this is dumb, but I promise it probably won't be the last thing I do that you think is dumb! So please keep your negative comments to yourself. (thank you! I still love you!) 

And if you've ever been interested in this business like me, text me, call me, email me, knock on my door. Seriously! What have we got to lose? The products are amazing! If you want to try a wrap, text me. And we have a gillion other products too, like drink supplements that have fruits and vegetables, and creams to help you lose stretch marks and face washes and more! I can't say it enough, all we've got to lose is self doubt and fear. Wishing won't get you anywhere.

P.S. Being a loyal customer gets you the products at a WAY cheaper price. Being a loyal customer just means that you have an autoshipment of one product for three months in a row. You can change the product each month if you want. And you can pick the cheapest product! After three months if you don't want the autoshipment anymore, that's okay! You can still be a loyal customer for life without having the autoshipments after your three months is up.

These are some of the cheaper products in case you wanted to be a loyal customer for cheap!

Preventage only $25: Start the day fighting the signs of time with this moisturizing cream gel. PreventAge helps to lessen the look of fine lines and wrinkles caused by sun exposure and environmental pollutants with its soothing blend of beautifying botanicals and vitamins.

Confianza only $25: Confianza is a naturally based supplement that increases your energy levels while reducing stress and fatigue. Its special blend of herbs was developed to provide a safe way to enhance your ability to cope with all forms of stress: physical, emotional, or environmental.

It's Vital Minerals only $23: 74 trace minerals, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K. Supports cardiovascular health, calcium, and strong bones and teeth.

Advanced Formula Fat Fighter only $23: Take up to an hour after eating and it will help absorb some of the carbohydrates and fat so that you're body doesn't! Helps reduce cravings and supports healthy blood glucose levels.

Ultimate Body Applicator only $59: (I had to include this one even though it's not the cheapest!) Includes four wraps that you can use anywhere to help tighten and tone. They minimize cellulite appearance. They're easy to use and mess free. You can see results in 45 minutes and they continue to progress for up to 72 hours. If you're wanting to tighten up your stomach, arms, legs, back, sides, you can use these there!

Defining gel only $45: (last one!) This is similar to the ultimate body applicator, but it's a gel that you can use everyday to help tighten, tone, and reduce the appearance of cellulite. It also softens and hydrates your skin!


These are just a few of the products that we have. If you have more questions or are interested in the business or trying some of the products let me know! And keep your fingers crossed that I can do well in this business, por favor!

Grateful

Lately I've been thinking about who I want to be. Sometimes I get so consumed by looking at other people's facebook or instagram and wishing my life was as perfect as theirs seemed. Keyword: seemed. I think it's important to remember that people don't usually post their worst moments in life. They don't advertise their flaws or their times of self doubt, depression, weakness, etc. I know I certainly don't. So why do we get so consumed wishing our life was like somebody else's?

Technology is such a wonderful thing, but sometimes I think, especially in our culture, that it can also be extremely detrimental. We're able to keep in touch with friends and family from all over the world. We're able to stream the news, music, and just about anything else instantly. We can keep tabs on products that are just coming out or people that we idolize and movie stars. But with all that, I think we start to compare ourselves to other people. We start thinking, well they have this and that, why don't I? 

I was listening to pandora while writing a paper for school when Square Pegs by Kelsea Ballerini came on. I had never heard it before. I was kind of feeling sorry for myself cause we have to work full time and go to school full time. I see Jackson for maybe an hour or two a day, if we're lucky. And sometimes it feels like it's never going to end. And for some reason I've been looking at those people who do things like It works or Mary Kay and make a bunch of money in a couple years so that they don't have to work normal jobs. The get rich quick scheme is intriguing. Everyone wants to make a bunch of money and be able to spend time with their loved ones. Then this song came on and the line, "So who do you wanna be?" made me think. Do I want to be that person that wastes my life comparing myself to other people? I don't want to look back on my life in 50 years and only remember how much I compared myself to others and made myself feel bad. I want to remember how much fun I had, regardless of how much money we had. I want to make the most of the time that we do have together and create lasting memories. I want to laugh and adventure with my handsome husband. 

So who I want to be? I want to be proud of who I am and where I'm at in life. I'm proud that I'm working at and doing school and work full time. I'm proud that Jackson and I have been able to buy a house. I have the most amazing family who would do anything for me. We laugh, we're stupid, and I couldn't have gotten a better family. I grew up with the most amazing parents, who supported me with what I wanted to do. They taught me wrong from right and encouraged me to be the best that I could be. Comparing myself to others, isn't be the best me I could be. 
I have the best siblings. Sometimes I want to beat them up, but I wouldn't trade them for the world. I know that if I needed anything, they would come help me. We had a great life growing up together and I love the relationship that I have with them still. I'm grateful that they've found spouses that are good for them, minus Shannon (you know, cause she ain't married yet! <3) I'm grateful for the memories I have made with them and will continue to make with them. 
I have the most amazing husband, who would do anything for me. He is always supportive, loving, kind, patient, sweet, and he keeps me in line. He encourages me to be the best me and reminds me why our lives are so crazy right now. He reminds me that it will be worth it in the end. He encourages me to keep going when I get upset with school and studying. He is so patient with me. I couldn't have gotten a better husband. I'm constantly thanking Heavenly Father that Jackson chose me. And that he continues to choose me everyday. 
I'm proud to be in nursing school and working towards my dreams. I'm grateful that I was accepted and that I have the opportunity to achieve my dreams. And more importantly, I'm grateful to achieve my dreams with Jackson by my side. I couldn't imagine my life without him. 
I'm grateful that I have the cutest dog ever. I love that she keeps me company when Jackson is at work and that she has energy. I love taking her to the dog park and taking her on walks. I love how excited she gets when I come home. She sits by the window in the living room with her tail wagging when I walk up to the front door. I love how excited she gets to play tug of war and fetch. I love watching Jackson play with her. I love when she's in the cuddle mood and just lays with me. 
I'm grateful that I was able to be sealed to my sweetheart for time and all eternity. I'm grateful for the knowledge that I get to be with him forever. I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm grateful for the atonement and for the opportunity I have to be forgiven. I love when I'm able to take the sacrament, which unfortunately isn't every week due to having to work weekends. I'm grateful that my parents raised me in the gospel with this knowledge. 

I don't even know if this post makes any sense. But it helped me clear my head and remember what's important to me. It's helped me remember to be grateful for what I do have. I know that I've talked about how detrimental social media can be sometimes. But for some reason, it's something that I continue to struggle with. And I think it's something that a lot of people struggle with. So it's important to remember to be grateful for what we have. I think it puts things in perspective when we count our blessings and realize what we do have.
