Happy birthday to My Sisters

Today is my twin sisters' 22nd birthday! I can't believe they're already 22 and almost done university to become nurses. They're both the most kind hearted people and will be great nurses because they love helping others and are passionate about nursing. I'm so thankful to have them in my life. They've always supported me in my business and in anything I choose to pursue. Happy birthday if you guys are reading this!

What's In Your Workout Supplements?

I just wanted to share something that happened to me recently. I started taking a fat burner along with my Arbonne pre-workout about a week and a half ago. I really noticed that I was sweating a lot more during my workouts and was feeling extra motivated which I loved. However, I noticed I wasn't sleeping well and was feeling more irritable. I ignored these signs because I was fixated on having "abs" this summer which is my most challenging muscle group. So this past week I was having a conversation with my mom about money and completely exploded. I was very angry for no reason and was feeling extremely paranoid. I was begging my sister to take me somewhere since I was not feeling comfortable at all. At one point I completely collapsed on the floor sobbing and needed help up because I had lost feeling in my arms and legs. My mom and sister tried to calm me down and then my dog was all over me licking my face and nipping at my hands to make sure I was alright. My dog really helped ground me in that situation since my paranoia was so bad. I realized that this whole thing probably had something to do with the fat burners I was taking since my body naturally has a hard time with too much caffeine. I went to see my doctor and my blood pressure was 153/123 which is extremely high. He was very concerned and told me that the caffeine and whatever else that was in there was messing with my head. Thankfully my blood pressure is now back to normal and I'm sleeping a lot better. I'm back in the gym and sticking to my Arbonne pre-workout since it's more natural and has never affected my body negatively like some other pre-workouts. It's not worth risking your health to get that "perfect body" and now more than ever I'm becoming aware of what's going in/on my body.

Re 9 Body Firming Cream (scar cream)

Hi everyone! I recently started using the Re 9 body Firming cream and I love it. It's used for scars, stretch marks, cellulite etc. It's really soft and smooth and smells great. Also my skin feels soft all day. I'm using it along with the Genius pads that I posted earlier on so we'll see what happens. I will be posting progress pics in a couple months but I've heard that the cream really helps stretch marks too.

I would also like to announce that I've stopped going tanning in tanning beds because I'm trying to take better care of my skin. Sure I miss the warmth but I use my Arbonne tanning lotion instead. I'd like to age gracefully and avoid skin cancer as much as possible. It's hard because you don't really see the damage until later on.  I recently read an article on Facebook of a lady who had skin cancer on her face and she claims to not tan much so that really scared me. Anyway just wanted to share that update.

My Dog Callie

I can't believe it was three years ago today that we got Callie my yellow lab. I remember it like it was yesterday... my dad came home with her and opened the door to my room. I literally could not believe it I thought he was joking and then I started crying. My mom took pictures, which was kind of embarrassing, but it was the best moment of my life (so far). I remember wanting a dog and putting a picture of one on my Christmas list that year and giving reasons why I would love one. Of course they said no but I never gave up. My mom said we would never get another dog because of how much work it is and that's when I unknowingly used the Secret; I asked, believed and received and put my desire out to the universe. She makes me so happy and I would never trade her for anything. I'm so thankful that she came into my life and for all the happiness she's given to my family.
