Coming off of the Lilly for Target madness on Sunday and having the busiest weekend ever, I just knew this week was going to be a good one (as in go by fast). Last weekend was so fufilling that I found myself not dreading the work week (this weekend has big shoes to fill). Plus, I secretly like to be busy, it inspires me!
Here's what's In and Out this week:
WHAT'S IN
Young Living Essential Oils--you guys. This is the real deal. I've been researching and getting samples for MONTHS before deciding to take the plunge this week. I had my kit over-nighted, I was THAT excited. Don't worry, it was in the budget, so I didn't break my spending freeze (kinda). For someone who goes to the Redi-Med or Urgent Care for every little ache and pain, this could prove useful for my hypochondriac self.
The Premium Starter Kit comes with 10 oils and a diffuser--I've already been diffusing the oil combo of Purification + Lemon and I kid you not, my apartment smells like a spa (it usually smells like old furniture, what my neighbors had for lunch/dinner, or cigarette smoke--neighbors again). So, I can already see the benefits. I promise to post more about them as I learn!
Being recognized by big companies-- I realize a lot of us bloggers were asked to participate in the Wayfair #CoffeeMyWay campaign, but how cool does it feel to be sought out and involved in something like that! What a community. I just love it! And hey, you have to start somewhere right?
Blog Business Cards -- Yep. It's happening. Stay tuned next week!
Supporting Small Businesses -- Some of my favorites: Revieux and Bijoux Avenue Designs
Can't forget these: Meeting and exceeding blog goals, having a post go viral, snail mail, and staying up late enough to watch the Disney throwback shows (think Kim Possible, Cheetah Girls, Even Stevens).
WHAT'S OUT:
Rainy Weekends--enough is enough Mother Nature. I'm starting to see why they call it "April Showers" Hoping to see those "May Flowers" any day now!
Being in a semi-long distance relationship-- Ok so Joshua and I are only 45 minutes apart, but with him applying for jobs and me working 9-5 everyday we only see each other on the weekends. It's dumb and I hate it.
Also out this week: Dumb questions, snobby people, not knowing what the future holds (seriously my Type A-ness can't even), and #LillyforTarget being sold out.
How was your week? Got any plans for the weekend?
I have been debating the essential oils thing for months now. I need to suck it and do it, I think!
ReplyDeleteI love my essential oils! It is crazy that something so 'simple' can fix problems that I have too been going to the hospital or web md-ing! As far as not knowing what is going the happen in the future, I think everyone gets that feeling once..or twice in life and although it is stressful, I am sure it will be worth it to be patient while it works out in your favor!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend girl!
I love it when a huge company reaches out to me! Hope you enjoy working with them.
ReplyDeleteI've heard some great things about the essential oils - I have yet to try them. The huge company reaching out to us is awesome! and I can't wait to see your blog business cards. I was thinking of it but than I thought who would I give them too?
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I hope rain is sooo out! I need a pretty weekend!
ReplyDeleteSemi-long distant is just as hard as long distance sometimes. When my now husband and I started dating we lived an hour apart. So we had to really schedule our time together. I really want to get some business cards, where are you getting yours?
ReplyDeleteIt's really for the birds lol
DeleteWhitney from Heart and Arrow Designs (who designed my blog) designed them and I am printing them through moo.com! You can also design through moo.com too --I have a coupon code for 10% off your first print if you end up getting some!
I've been looking at getting essential oils too but didn't know if you could order the kits without being a distributor. I'm assuming you can?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being chosen for the campaign! Things like that are super exciting. Blog business cards are also very exciting - I bet they will look fabulous!

DeleteLong distance relationship sucks. I've been in your shoes. But you guys have been dating for 6 years I'm sure you guys can handle it. Hopefully he finds a job soon.
ReplyDeleteYOU WATCHED THE CHEETAH GIRLS?!? Jealous. I may or may not have Kim Possible on DVD.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a lot of buzz about essential oils, and you've inspired me to look them up!
