GIVING Campaign - Day 3

Well, sure enough I got roped back into rescue work!

I knew me fostering and in the end adopting Amber would lead to more volunteering. I just wasn't prepared to take back over the paperwork - AGAIN. For now I am just helping get caught up - it really is a time consuming job and I don't have time for it, even though we have now made it a paid position - with owning my own business and working full time at the telephone company, I really cannot find the time to do paperwork again full time.

So Day 3 - I bought dinner for Jonnie and I. Ok, She's a cheap date - Taco Tuesday and cheap beer - but it's still something nice I can do for my closest girlfriend. I don't get along well with many girls, but Jonnie and I have that bond where we can not talk for a while, and pick up right where we left off. I'm grateful she's always been there for me as a friend and like an older sister.

And how I have NO photos of the two of us, I have no idea. I know there are 2 on my dead laptop, so must find a way to get them off the drive.

Cheers!

GIVING Campaign - Day 2

On Day 2 of my giving campaign, a fellow rescue friend through Southern California Bulldog Rescue has been having medical issues with her bully, Muttley. She had already spent most of her money on tests, and needed to get more tests done to figure out what was going on, and now she didn't have the money to pay the mortgage on the house. Someone mentioned donating money or doing a fundraiser, and in the course of about 15 minutes, 5 people asked for her Paypal address and sent funds.

Feel better soon, Muttley! Beki I'm glad I could help with donating some money to finding more answers as to why Muttley seems to be retaining a lot of fluids!

GIVING Campaign - Day 1

Day 1 came early for me, as I was trying to save the biggest surprise for last, but it came 2 days early and before Christmas day, to say the least!

I had been fostering for DREAM animal rescue for 3 weeks and we were discussing the upcoming adoption event on Thanksgiving weekend. Last event, I dropped off my foster, Amber, and she was miserable the whole time. When I came to pick her up she was laying in her litter box being non-social. My friend Staci said when I left, Amber watched me as I walked away from her and then continued to look for me.

I knew she never did well at events, and she was really blossoming into a wonderful kitten here! She loves catnip, grooms fuzzy cat, and will jump in anyone's lap who will let her. I decided I wasn't going to torture her by going to events anymore, and that she could stay permanently with me.

I filled out her application, paid her fee, and now she's a permanent resident! Here she is in her few short weeks with me:

Upcoming Classes!

Hey Everyone!

So, I have an upcoming doTERRA class and I would love it if you could make it - it will be in Rancho Santa Margarita, at my new home. If you have my questions, it would be a great time for you to come and learn more about essential oils and how they can benefit you both mentally, physically, and emotionally!

If you can't make it, I'd be happy to set up a consult with you one day after work or on a weekend if you just let me know what you're interested in, so I can bring you some samples. Also, if you can't attend my class, not to worry - there are others in my area and I'd be happy to go with you! You can follow my business on Facebook as well, which has all the upcoming local classes and tips on how to use your essential oils.

My FIRST class!

What: Introduction to Essential Oils Class
Who: Hosted by yours truly!
Where: Rancho Santa Margarita (please email for address, if you are serious about coming)
When: December 10th 2010 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Why: I want to help you fine a more natural solution for whatever issues you are having. We are so used to going to the doctor to be prescribed a pill - what if we could do it naturally, no doctor's co-pay, no medication costs... essential oils are pennies compared to big pharmaceuticals.

Hope to see some of you there!

Shame on Me!

I know, I haven't really been good about updating my blog - again, life gets in the way (I KNOW IT'S NO EXCUSE!)

But with my business, I've been so busy doing my success challenges with my team, going to meetings, helping clients start using essential oils, building up my business...

But from here on out, Thursday will be blogging Thursdays (starting next week, as I have a business meeting tonight, like that's a big surprise).

I can't thank everyone enough who is supporting me, my two mentors who lets me ask all kinds of questions, both silly and curious, who help me with building the business, who have all great ideas... I cannot wait to be a leader and help someone else like you ladies have helped me - so THANK YOU.

Learning to Live Holistically!

Hey Everyone!

So sure enough, my doTERRA consulting has begun! I offer one on one mentoring, parties, samples, and more. We offer 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils that are safe to use daily and even be taken internally. If you had to ask me what's helped me the most in my weight loss and Fibromyalgia journey, it's yoga and essential oils.

Don't live near me? Not a problem! I can do Skype one on one mentoring, and you can order through my website anytime you want. Thinking you know someone who could benefit from essential oils? Let me know all about them, and I can give you recommendations, or point you to peer reviewed studies that you can show them on how essential oils can be beneficial for them.

Tired of cleaning your house with chemicals? I can show you the natural way, using essential oils. I clean my house this way, and I know my house smells clean and fresh afterwards, not like bleach or other harsh chemicals.

Have allergies? Because our oils are Pure Therapeutic, you probably won't have a reaction, but I can always get you a sample if you're worried and want to try it first. Obviously if you are allergic to the plant the oil is made of, it won't work, but I may be able to find you an alternative oil that may work just as well!

Now, I know some of you are thinking "But the prices seem high!". Well, remember this, you get what you pay for! Our large bottles (majority of our oils) are 15ml and have about 250 drops. Say you use 2 drops a day, so 125 days worth. 3 bottles will last you a year. And on our more popular oils, it's well worth the price.

For example, I use Serenity nightly to help relax me and get to that wonderful state of slumber. 1 drop, on a tissue, next to my bed. Serenity retails at $40.00 a bottle (only 15 ml available). so for $80 A YEAR (less really, $80 for 500 days), I don't have to take prescription sleep aids anymore! Still think it's a bit too out of your range? doTERRA also maybe a serenity bath bar, for $9.32 retail. Wash your face, or take a shower or bath before bed and use this puppy! It's natural soap infused with the oils.

Interested in a particular oil? I'll gladly share my knowledge and do my own research to learn even more. 

Have a particular medical condition? I can let you know what has worked for most, or some of the people that I know, and give you recommendations on how to make it more manageable to live with!*

doTERRA Product Consultant

As some of you have heard me talk about, especially in the past 8 months or so, I've really had a lot of success with using essential oils as part of my yoga practice and Fibromyalgia holistic treatment. The more I use them, the more I love them, and the company itself. So, why not SELL product?

I have the time, I'm young, I get the business aspect, and I've PERSONALLY reaped the benefits of the product. Not only that, I use them daily (no joke - supplements, topical application, aroma therapy, and I even use some as cleaners!) I'm ready to get the word out and show people how you can still live holistically, and get rid of a TON of chemicals in your life. And they work just as well, if not better.

I met with my two mentors last night for dinner and a learning class. I just ordered all my product enrollment forms and signed up for a build doTERRA class which is next week, as well as post convention meeting next weekend in Anaheim. I plan on actually following leads, hosting learning sessions, and even will have samples available for anyone who wants to try some for a bit and see how it can change their life.

So do you want to learn more? If so, I'd be happy to set up a class session, or a one-on-one appointment to discuss your questions and concerns. doTERRA is 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil, so it's safe to use daily and even take internally (certain oils only).
