I Love What You're Selling, But No

Let me start this off by saying that I love all my friends and I love their direct sales businesses! I love that they are able to work from home or on their lunch break if they have a full time job so they can support their family or just bring in some fun money.

But direct sales isn't for everyone. I'm sure you've seen posts like this before, but I felt it necessary to type my own.

If you are thinking about sending me a message asking me to join your team, please think again. I don't want to be rude, but direct sales isn't my thing.

See, I've tried direct sales THREE times already. The first time was a complete bust, the second time just wasn't a good match for me and the third time I had success, but felt the need to walk away due to some issues that I won't get into.

I also spend WAY too much time on my phone and computer as it is. The last thing I need to do is add more time on to what I already spend there because I want to be successful. I know that to have a successful business you have to put some effort and time into it. Right now, I just don't want to spend my time on a business.

Although, I don't want to join your team or sell for any direct sales companies, I want you to know that I love and support all my direct sales friends, even if I don't necessarily agree with or use your products.

See, there are some direct sales companies out there that I just can't stand behind because I don't believe in the stuff they are selling or just don't use it. I won't get into any names because that isn't fair to those companies. Some people LOVE these companies that I don't use and that's great! I am not going to tell anyone what they should or should not support! It's just not my business!

If you are one of my super awesome direct sales friends and have a great deal going on, feel free to let me know about it! Our budget doesn't always allow for me to spend a bunch of money on stuff we don't "need" (apparently food and housing are way more important than wax melts or books in this house....we need to get our priorities straight), but if I can swing it in the budget, you may have just earned yourself a sale. Just please don't spam me with messages or post on my wall a million times; I greatly appreciate that!

And if you are super close to earning something (a trip, a promotion, a gift from  your team leader, etc) and could use a couple more sales, definitely let me know! I would love to post on my wall to try to help you get those sales because I love seeing my friends hit their goals and earn AWESOME things!

So while I may not want to join your team, you can think of me of your cheerleader who will try her hardest to help you whenever the need arises!

I can't wait to see some awesome things that you all earn and do in July!

In Debt, One Size Does Not Fit All

We've all heard the saying that some things are just not "one size fits all." Lately, I have come to realize that debt is one of those things. I have been wanting to blog about debt and debt repayment for a while, but I really had to get myself into the mindset that I am going to tackle our debt once and for all before I could do that. But that doesn't mean that I can't give you a couple pieces of advice while I am in my own debt repayment journey, right? Yep, I just felt some eye rolls for that question; it's okay. Here are a couple things that I have realized along our debt journey: 1) We don't all handle money the same way. There are multiple financial advisers and programs out there that advocate only using cash. If you are like me, cash is not a good thing. I know that these programs advocated splitting the cash up into envelopes and only using what is there, but I prefer a more fluid budget. Cash is just a terrible idea for me because when I...

One Thing We Need To Stop

Two posts in one day? Yep, you are super lucky. This one is getting typed up super fast because of something I keep seeing all over social media: Belly Shaming. Every. Single. Day. I see posts in a group I am in where moms are asking how far along they look just based on their bellies. Guess what? No two people will look exactly a like while they are pregnant. My 21 week belly might be equal to your 9 week or 39 week belly. And guess what? That's quite alright! I wish I could say that it only happens in mom's groups or even on social media for that matter. Sadly, that's not the case. I have heard so many stories of women being asked how far along they are. The worst part? Sometimes they aren't even pregnant. And that is no one's business! Seriously, if it isn't your belly, you probably don't have a reason to comment on it's size. We don't just walk up to someone in the store and comment about how big their ears or noses are so why is it okay...

The Dreaded F Word

Wait, wait, wait. Not that word. Stop thinking bad things. I'm talking about Fingerlings. Or you can even change that letter to H for Hatchimals. Or any letter for any of the "big" toys this Holiday season. Why am I hating on them so much? Do I think they are stupid toys? No. I think that some children will absolutely love these toys and play with them daily. I also think that there are children that will play with them for 5 minutes and then never want to touch them again. I don't hate the toy themselves; I hate the craze that has come up because of them. Yes, I understand that they are popular because some children already have them and show them off either in person or on YouTube videos. I also understand that all the big stores have made a huge deal about these little toys as well, which only drives up the interest of young children (and even some adults). I especially hate that there are people out there clearing the shelves and selling the toys fo...
