Lagniappe

I still love that word!  I was first introduced to it while in high school, but it had a totally different meaning then.  In high school, we used it as the title for our student written, run & produced variety show of sorts.  But it wasn't your typical variety show.  Anyway, I digress.

So, for those that don't know, this is the beginning of a new Mary Kay year.  And of course, just like the regular new year, we are all thinking about goals.  This year will be different for me.  I am focused on monthly goals, and yes, I have my big year end goal to go with it.  But I am breaking down my goal into "bite" sized pieces.  There is a popular analogy in MK, and probably in a lot of other businesses and life, but it states that you can eat the whole elephant, but you have to do it one bite at a time.

So, let me share my goals with you.  First year long goal is to earn my car, second is to become a director.  The next few won't really make sense to anyone outside of the MK world, but I will be finishing Queens Court of Sales & Sharing, for each of these, I will be earning a diamond ring & diamond bumble bee, respectively.  (And yes, they are real diamonds!). 

So how am I breaking this down?  Well, my monthly goals are 50 makeovers & 25-30 opportunities to share the opportunity.  I want to show my area why I LOVE my Mary Kay, and what it can do for them, not just with their skin or color looks, but what it might mean for them.  Mary Kay has changed me, my life & my family in ways that are amazing.

I know I wouldn't have made these changes had it not of been for MK.  I have become a better person, I work harder (which I didn't think was possible) & yet I am able to be home with my kids.

So let me ask you this...  Where do you want to be in 5 years?  What about 10?  What are you doing to make that happen?

How is that working for you?

Okay, when I get pictures of the ring I will be earning & the bee, I will post it.  

Here is the car that I will be earning this fall.  Which would you choose?

What does this all mean for you?  Well, it means that I am going to giveaway more products than I have ever before.  Would you like to be the recipient of some of the $10,000 in free products I am giving away? Email me for more info (lizherman(at)marykay(dot)com). It also means that I will ask you to sit with me and listen.  There's no pressure, but you never know if this may be for someone you know.  And if you introduce me to someone who does join me on this journey, you'll get a special gift.  It also means that with ever order this year, there will be special gifts, or specials that are exclusive to my customers.  I will also be starting a VIP program that will have lots of rewards.  Stay tuned for details, or email me. 

I can't wait to go on this journey with you and share every step of the way.  Buckle your seat belt & keep checking back.  We will be moving very quickly!

Scattered Saturday

Lol... Scattered... I feel that way a lot.  This post is not going to have a lot of rhyme or reason, but I haven't posted in a while.  

Anyway, so I have been making a list of goals that I want to accomplish for this next Mary Kay year (our year runs July 1 - June 30).  And I don't want July to pass by without acting on any of my goals.  

So, if you have never had a facial with me, email me.  We can set up your free facial, or I will send you a facial in a bag, if you aren't local to me.  My goal is to give away 30 makeovers & a special gift with each.  

I am also on the hunt to give away $2000 in free products this month.  So don't delay & schedule your appointment.

Okay, on to the scattered part...  Please check out my fitness blog (http://www.fitforlifeliz.blogspot.com).  I have updated it with my newest.  I may share over here every so often, but mostly my fit tips, workout programs, and recipes will be over there.  I am also planning on posting my meal plans, etc.  I am on a mission to help people, mostly one-on-one, with meal plans, exercise programs, support, and much more. My time is limited & I can only accept a few people, but more about that will be on my fitness blog.

In the meantime, look what arrived in my mailbox yesterday.

I was one happy person!  The day before my 3 Day Refresh arrived.  I will be starting both on Monday.  So check back at www.fitforlifeliz.blogspot.com for my results from each program.

And I'll end today's post with a little cuteness from my kids!  

Love these two goobers!

Until next time!

Liz

I have decided to change the focus of this blog.

I created a new blog solely for fitness, nutrition & weightloss.  It is https://www.fitforlifeliz.blogspot.com.  Please go over, follow my weight loss journey there.  I may from time to time update you all here, but my tips, recipes, and journey will be documented there.

The Pink Package & Borrow My Bag!

I am SO excited about these two programs that I am now running with my skin care business.  Check them out!

You can be the first to try out our NEWEST and COOLEST products, before others can have them in hand.  Email me here, to sign up for this awesome program!

And....  Here's the second one:

If you can't read the words, you will get a bag, with your word that you will return it to me, full of some of my favorite products.  You get to try it for a week and then share your opinions with me!  Email me here to sign up for this program or ask more info.

What are some of your favorite go-to recipes?

So, in my journey to better health, loosing weight and just over all reshaping my self, I am trying to come up with new recipes.  My go to dinners are typically baked chicken and veggies.  They are good... almost like comfort food, because you know what you are getting.  But I want to change it up.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE stuffed peppers.  And have found that the Stoffers frozen ones aren't too bad, but I do want to try to make my own.

So that being said, talk to me... give me your favorite healthy recipe.  I am trying to eat cleanly, and train meanly, but I can always clean up a recipe, if need be!

Now, on a completely different subject, have you hear the news of the newest Beachbody program?  It is coming out in the next few weeks.  It is a low-impact, huge results program!  So far what I have seen from the test group, their results are AMAZING!  The program is called PiYo.

I have a new challenge group (and no, Shakeology isn't required to be a part of it) starting soon for PiYo.  Email me here to learn more about it, or for me to send you the link to be added to my mailing list.

If you are interested in Shakeology, click here to learn more.

This is my FAVORITE Shakology recipe.

We are settling in!

The one thing about moving, especially every few years, is that we settle in very quickly.  So we've been here for a week and are settling in nicely.  I have my new driver's license, got my car registered, and have all the appropriate items to get into and out of our gates at the neighborhood we live in (we live in a gated community).  I have even started to book makeovers, so if you are in the Ft Myers/Naples/SW FL area, send me an email and schedule your own Beauty Bar, or makeover, or pampering session!

Anyway, one of the promotions I am running right now, for my Beachbody business is a 12-day Shakeology Group!  Here's what it includes.




Shakeology is my FAVORITE meal of the day.  I do replace one of my 4-5 meals a day with Shakeology.  I have a TON more energy, feel better and it truly fills me up.  To learn more about Shakeology, click here.

I will be updating everyone.  One of my good friends has challenged me to run the Disney Princess 10K & half marathon.  This scares me.  I have never done a half.  But I promise I will keep you updated on my training progress.

I also have a new 21 Day Fix Challenge Group starting soon.  Click here to learn more about the 21 Day Challenge, or to purchase!

Hope everyone is having a great summer, so far!  And I am thinking about all my military friends who are PCS'ing right now.  I hope it goes smoothly and that everyone and everything arrives to their new duty stations safely.

Moving sucks!

So we are in day 2 of our pack up.  They should be done packing us all up today.  And tomorrow, they load up the trucks.  I hate this part...  It makes it even more real that we are leaving.  It is completely bitter sweet.  I know we are on for more adventures, and new places to live, but I also really like it here.

Anyway, so now for a bit of business...  I am currently inviting you to join my next challenge group!  June 9 we will be starting a 14 Day Clean Eating challenge group (click here to join this group).  It is totally free and will give you a GREAT idea of what I am trying to accomplish with my nutritional goals.

Looking for more with an accountability group?  Want a specific exercise program to go with it?  Check out my next 21 Day Fix Challenge group, which starts also June 9.  Click here to learn more about this program.  It involves a portion controlled eating plan, an intense, but short, daily workout and if you are a part of the challenge group, you will get daily accountability, tips, tricks, and recipes and so much more!  I'd love to have you join me!  Click here to join me and get healthy, strong and leaner!

On my other business, I am offering something I've never done before.  I am offering a "Pink Package".  This is a sneak peek box, similar to those other boxes you see people posting about all the time, that will have the latest Mary Kay products.  This is a quarterly box, so you will get one 4 times a year or every 3 months.  It does include FULL sized products!  Which are always backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee!  Plus, you will get special samples and offers.  All this for only $25!  Click here to sign up for this special deal.  Sign ups end June 5, and boxes will ship June 12.
