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!

My New Year Resolution! (Turning I Wish to I Will)

Every year when the new year comes, people also seem to ask me what my New Year’s resolution is going to be. Last year I was going for a “New Year, New You”. I decided to turnaround the way I look and feel about myself. I chose Shaklee 180 to help me achieve a healthier way of life. (This picture was taken after 1 month with Shaklee 180 in 2013).

My Before and After Progress one Month on Shaklee 180

The main reason I wanted to become a new me in 2013 was because I wanted to be “Tiny, Tone and Tan” come my wedding. After all of my hard work and dedication, I truly felt like I was the best version on myself on my wedding day. It was everything I thought it would be and so much more!

To be honest, most years I don’t usually follow through with my resolutions. Although, last year, I felt like I finished as strong and I had started. My Shaklee 180 Turnaround truly changed the way I look at my life and taught me not only how to live a healthier lifestyle but that I deserve a better lifestyle!

This year I am going to stop saying “I wish” and start saying “I will”! I can’t tell you how many times I wished something would happen and never did anything about it.

Start Saying I Will

I am going to start making things happen in my life and I am going to start by changing my mindset. Last year, as soon as I realized that I could start eating better and living a healthier lifestyle, I started loosing weight, getting toner and gaining energy.

This year, I know now that I need to get in the mind right off the bat and stay in it all year long. I am going to stop wishing and start doing!

What are you doing for this year’s resolution?

Keeping Your Shoes Smelling Fresh!

Are you looking to have clean and fresh smelling shoes? Have you ever bought a new pair of shoes and think to yourself how long you are going to need to use them?

Well… I bought these shoes knowing that I was going to be working out in them 4 to 5 days a week, at lease until my wedding (more details coming). Therefore I need them to last at least 7 months. A little while ago, someone told me about this little trick to help you keep your shoes smelling clean and fresh. Your shoes need to be able to breath, especially when you wear them all the time!

By putting a Get Clean Dryer Sheet into your shoe after you are done wearing it, you will be amazed how long your shoes will smell like new! It has such a fresh and clean sent. Knowing that I spend a lot of time in these shoes and that they are getting a lot of use out of them, I need to keep them smelling nice. 🙂

There are so many things I love about these dryer sheets. It isn’t just the fresh smell but it is because it isn’t a strong sent. They are all natural, biodegradable and “Safe for you, your home and your Planet”.

Get Clean Dryer Sheets will help keep the Smell away in your shoes

Another great tip would be to always wear socks with your shoes. It makes a huge difference.

I have never had a problem with my shoes smelling but I know that this is a great way to keep that from happening. Especially in the winter when your feet are stuck in shoes all the time!

Have you every had this happen to you? What have you done that has helped?
