Loose Beach Waves

When it comes to curling hair, there are so many different types of curly hair style you can do. It all depends on what type of curls you are looking for and what hair type you have. You also have to think about the length of your hair and decide if it will work with the curl you want to achieve. Not to mention what size curling iron you will need to achieve which curl.

I have a number of posts coming that will show you just how to answer all of those questions.

 

Although for today I am going to be showing you another type of curl that I absolutely love! This style is great for medium to long hair. It gives a very soft, more natural look. I love this look for everyday but I guarantee when you put on a little black dress you will blow people away.

Here is a short video showing you just how to create these beautiful waves!

I also love the simplicity of these curls.

My Weight-loss Journey (Using Shaklee 180)

A huge part of losing weight is believing you can do it and realizing it isn’t going to happen overnight. But when you lose the right kind of weight and learn how to keep it off, you can change your life forever!

Some of you may or may not know this about me, but I have struggled with my weight for quite some time. At the age of 14 I got up to a size 12 and I stayed there until I was 19. Then in fall of 2008 I spent 4 months in Germany as a volunteer helping out an religious order of retired sisters. Little did I know that I would come back home 20 pounds heavier than when I left. I went from a size 12 to a size 16! My clothes didn’t fit any more and I knew I didn’t want to buy all new clothes! Something needed to change and It needed to change fast.

Elisabeth Heasley before the Shaklee 180 Challenge

After a year of not being able to lose the weight and after trying so many different kinds of diets, none of them seem to work.  I guess you can say I gave up on trying to lose the weight all together. I found that it was easier to put on weight than it was to take it off.  I had convinced myself and everyone around me that I was comfortable with who I was and how I looked. But what I really needed was to do a complete 180 with my life.

I felt very sluggish and unable to show my true potential. Everything I did took me twice as long as it should have and that was just to get the bare minimum done. I would want to sleep in late, go to bed early and nap almost daily! I had no energy to do anything and no motivation to change on my own.

My family was really the one who introduced me to the Shaklee 180 Turnaround program. I decided to give the program a shot. I had committed to give it my all for the full 90 days, as long as Bonnie did it with me!

I started the Shaklee 180 program, and I ended up losing a total of 28 lbs and 19 1/2 inches! I went from a size 16 down to a 6! I don’t think I had ever been a size 6 before.  Thanks to Shaklee 180.

I haven’t even told you the best part yet…It has been 8 years and I am still a size 6! I have never had a weight loss program teach me how to keep off the weight like this one did. I love that Shaklee focuses on not only your before and after but your after-after as well! I feel better than ever and I have more energy than I ever could imagine.  I never felt more comfortable in my bathing suit and I am looking forward to my next year’s Shaklee Trip!

8 months prior to my wedding, Brandon (My Husband) and I had decided to do the Shaklee 180 Turnaround again! We wanted to start our lives together feeling health and happy. I knew that personally I wanted to be “Tiny Tone and Tan” come my honeymoon! 🙂 Besides with Shaklee’s 100% money back guarantee, I couldn’t go wrong.

I am happy to say that Brandon and I have been happily married since September 7th 2013! Plus I totally met my goal and I was indeed Tiny, Tone and Tan on our big day and I had no problem fitting into my wedding dress!

I became Tiny, Tone and Tan for my Wedding

My story doesn’t stop there…

Writing My Christmas Cards

I can’t believe that Christmas is just around the corner. I feel like thanksgiving was yesterday and Halloween was the day before that. I don’t know where the time is going. It is crazy!

I am not not sure if I told you but I had my wisdom teeth out 2 weeks ago and I had to stay in bed for a few day. I am so glad I utilized my time as well as I did. Otherwise I would not have had time to write all of my Christmas cards this year.  

There is something so special about walking out to the mail box around Christmas time. Just the thought of opening it up and finding Christmas cards with your name on it. I don’t know what it is, maybe it is the child in me coming out but I absolutely love it. I don’t know if everyone feels the same way that I do but when I write a card I hope it brings back a piece of their childhood or at least a good Christmas memory.

I love mating the ink of the pen with the color of the christmas card!

I love sitting down with a BIG cup or tea while I write my cards.

Writing my Christmas Cards

You can’t forget the Christmas music in the back ground. It really gets you in the Christmas Spirit!

There is something special about getting a Personalized Christmas Card in the mail!

This year I also included a cookie recipe that I thought everyone would enjoy!

Praline Strips

Do you still write Christmas cards? Are you like me and love the thought of getting some in the mail?

Wrapping Your Christmas Gifts!

I love the idea of the entire Christmas season, there is so much joy in the air. I love the smell of all of the freshly baked cookies, the sound of the Christmas music in the background and the beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree. Gifts are a great way to show someone just how much you care about them. What I love about wrapping a gift is the excitement on the persons face who you give it to. When a gift is wrapped nicely it almost makes the gift a little bit more than what is inside. I can’t tell you how many times people have complimented me about the wrapping on my gifts I give. Not only that, now people have been asking me to wrap their gifts for them.

Here is a video showing you just how I wrap a a Basic Box.  

 

I love adding thing to the top of my gifts. It not only adds a pop of color but to make the gift look finish and complete.

I love adding red accents to my gifts

This year I used different kinds of peppermints, bows, flowers and ornaments.

Dressing up your gifts with red Accents.

Here are step by step instructions on how to wrap your basic box.
