Rainbow Flash Mob – Green

So some of you might have heard about the rainbow flash mob (#RainbowFlashMob) that has been going on… Well I got tagged with the color green from my sister- in-law Ann Marie from White House Black Shutters. All you have to do is be given a color and find anything of that color around the house. Then share it on facebook, instagram, twitter or your blog so that others can join in the fun!

So I went ahead and found a number of green things that I already had around the house! So here’s what I found:

You don’t have to say what everything is, I just thought it would be fun for all of you to see what I have around the house and why!

1. Stevia Plant – Stevia is a natural sweetener and I love to put it in my infused waters or freeze it in ice cubes and put it in your lemon aid.

2. Lime – My husband is an amazing cocktail drink maker. I call him the “Mix Master” and we always have limes on hand just incase he needs them for his drinks!

3. Vera Bradley Purse – For years my grandma would buy me one Vera a year. So I have many different shapes and color purses from her.

4. Get Clean Basic H2 – This is basically my number 1 go to cleaning product! It does absolutely everything and it is organic, super cleaning and extremely concentrate. Plus it is only pennies per bottle!

5. Kiwi – I always loved kiwis growing up although I hadn’t had them in a long time and they were on sale this week, so I bought them! I am so glad that I did because it brought back so many great memories!

6. Shaklee 180 Energizing Green Tea – Between this and the Pomegranate Tea I don’t know how I would get through each day! It helps give me the energy that I need without the crash at the end of the day without any jitters. (Cutting hair and jitters don’t go well together)

7. ProSante Finishing Spray – This is one of my favorite hair sprays. I use it as a root lifter when the hair is wet and then again as a finishing pray when the hair is dry! I have to mention that I do use and love the whole ProSante Hair Care Line and I use it on all of my clients!

8. Celery – Everyone should know that celery is a huge calorie burner and that it take more calories to burn off than celery itself! I always have it in the fridge!

9. Billy’s Bootcamp Workout – I can’t tell you how many random workout videos I have laying around the house! I am so glad that I now use the Burst workout program! It comes free with your Turnaround or Lean and Healthy Kit and it is right on your phone so you always have it at the palm of your hand!

10. Metal Scrubby – I love using this scrubby with my Sour Off Heavy Duty Past! It helps me clean things as hard as rusty or soap scum.

11. Beaded Bracelet – This is actually a necklace that I just wrap around my wrist to make it into a bracelet!

12. Dangle Earrings – I can’t tell you how long I have has these earrings. I actually forgot that I had them!

13. Necklace – I bought this necklace when I was in Ireland back in 2008

14. OPI Nail Polish – This is only one of my many colors! I love OPI for all of my pedicures!

15. The Shaklee Effect Pin – Shaklee has been around for almost 60 years and everyone that has used their products know that it has had some great effect on their life. This pin just indicates that I am part of the effect! You can read my whole weight loss story here and how Shaklee has effected my life!

16. Guest Bath Room Hand Towel – I love bright light colors so when I chose the colors for all of the small room I made sure they were bright and welcoming!

17. Head of Roman Lettuce – Brandon and I have a salad every single day, so lettuce is always a must around here! Random fact, I will always choose Roman over Iceberg lettuce. 🙂

So there you have it! I will be honest, I actually had a lot of fun hunting around the house looking for green colors!

If you want to play along just comment below and I will give you a color and you can join in the fun!

Happy hunting!

The Perfect Healthy Snack (It is Cool, Crunchy, Creamy and Sweet!)

When it comes to healthy snacks, I would have to say that this is one of my favorite snack. It is a great combination between energy, protein and deliciousness! It is easy to make and even easier to eat.

The combinations are truly endless with this snack. I personally love shopping at Trader Joe’s for all of my food and I especially love their granola section. There are so many amazing oppositions and they all go well with what I am about to share. If you don’t believe me you are just going to have to see for yourself.

You will need:

1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt.
1/2 Cup Granola.
1 Scoop of Shaklee 180 Strawberry Smoothie Protein.
Fresh fruit, if desired.

First things first. Pour your yogurt into a bowl.

Measure out one scoop of your Shaklee 180 protein. Pour the protein into your bowl. Then measure out a half cup of the granola of your choice. (I used the Mixed Berries)
Next you just need to pour the granola into the bowl.
Once you have everything in the bowl, give it a good mix up and… …you are complete! Just add some Energy Tea (or Pomegranate Lemonade) and you are set for a perfect afternoon snack.

Now do you believe me? Doesn’t that look like a delicious treat? It has a little bit of everything in it. It is cool, crunchy, creamy and sweet. What more can you ask for in a healthy snack?

I Was a Healthy Competition Winner {With New Video}

Have you ever lost weight? Have you ever achieved the after size that you set out to reach? Maybe you even took some before and after pictures, hoping you would fit into your skinny clothes again. What happens after you reach your goal? Losing weight can be an amazing feeling, unfortunately most people do what is called the “Yo-Yo” diets. They lose weight, and than gain it back again.

Shaklee 180 focuses not only on your before and after but what I like to call your after-after! It doesn’t just forget about you after you reach your after, it makes sure you never get back to your before. I like to call it my “Happily every after-after”. For those of you who don’t know My Story, I lost 40 lbs using the entire Shaklee 180 Weight Management Program. I lost most of my weight 3 years ago and have been taught specific tools that have helped me learn how to keep it off ever since.

Shaklee re-launched Shaklee 180 back in January and Brandon (my fiancé) and I teamed up got a group of people together to create a community of dedicated and motivated people who where all on track to loosing weight, getting fit and keeping it off.

Brandon and I joined the Healthy Competition to get in shape for our September wedding. I came up with a goal that I wanted to be ‘Tiny, Tone and Tan” before the wedding and I was going to do anything to help me get there. The Healthy Competition was just what I was looking for.

I will go into more details later, so for now I am just going to show you a brief glimpse of what you get as a Healthy Competition Winner! First off, Shaklee paid the way to Nashville (for Shaklee Live) for 2 people as well as 4 nights stay at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. Check out this video that I put together about what to expect as a Healthy Competition Winner.

To start the trip off, I was greeted with this amazing gift basket full of my favorite Shaklee 180 goodies.

I was then fitted for my photo shoot, where I got to keep all of my clothes and shoes!! Booya!

I had a personal stylist for the day and let me say… As a professional cosmetologist I loved being the client for the day. Plus I learned a lot about applying make up and styling hair for professional photo shoots, which I totally enjoyed!

These were all 3 of my stylists for the day!

They made me look and feel beautiful for the entire day!

I had a chance to hang out and talk with the other Healthy Competition Winners.

They truly did not miss a single detail from my head to my toe.

Here is a sample of one of the pictures they took at the photo shoot. Shaklee is going to be using some of my pictures for 2014 marketing materials. 🙂 I am she so excited to see what Shaklee decides to use and for what materials.

On top of all of that, we had a interview on stage at general session in front of 6,000 people…

…then we were then featured on Shaklee Live Chat!!!

And last but not least, we had an opportunity to talk with the Owner and CEO of Shaklee (Roger Barnett).

Need-less-to-say this has been a once in a lifetime experience. Everyone in Shaklee has been so encouraging and they truly help you embrace the new you.

Unlike most programs, this one is guaranteed to work!

Are you interested in learning more about the Shaklee 180 program and getting a personalized schedule that is designed specifically for you? Then fill out this interest form and I will personally get back to you so I can be your Shaklee 180 specialist!

Losing weight is truly a life changing experience. My heart goes out to anyone who is trying to lose weight and get healthy again. Just know that I am here to help you every step of the way!

I can’t believe that St. Valentines Day is already here! The time is flying by faster than I can even imagine. This is one of my favorite times of the year. The snow is starting to melt away (usually) and spring is just around the corner. With the sun shining, and happiness all around this is the perfect time to tell a special person just how much you love them.

I have found 10 different DIY gifts that you could give to anyone and everyone on your list of love ones.

These are such a cute way to upcycling paint swatches and a cute card for Valentines Day.

This is a cute idea for a spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend. Take a Mason jar and fill it with colored wooden sticks with different date night ideas. I am totally going to do this for Brandon.

These heart shaped muffins are such a fun way to get kids involved in helping out with Valentines Day gifts. Also it is way easier than you would think.

This muffin is also a great home made gift with a touch of red for a fun Valentines Day gift.

I love this idea for all of the tea drinkers, putting tea in a bag for you SweeTea!

I know that Brandon would personally love this idea! What guy wouldn’t like a bear bouquet?

A spoon full of kisses is great for everyone!

This is the perfect valentines day bouquet of suckers.

Totally corny but so cute!

This is a great for your outdoorsy friends, you are quite the catch, Swedish fish in a mason jar.

So there you have it. Those are my fast and easy Valentine gift ideas. With Valentines day less than a week away, all of these gifts are achievable between now and then.
