Region Retreat

Today we had an Arbonne Region Retreat and it was great! I'm going to admit I was a little reluctant to go since I was feeling kind of negative lately and was letting those excuses creep back in. Baseball went late last night and by the time I got home and showered it was around 11:30. I told myself I could just lay in bed and sleep in and possibly zoom call it... but then I told myself that I wouldn't actually be learning and be fully engaged. So I decided if I could run around the baseball diamond with a hurt quad muscle then I could get up early and go to Waterloo. Also Elizabeth was saying that I should still come despite my negative mood and I felt guilty bailing on her. So with only about 2 hours of sleep I got my butt out of bed and got ready.

I'm really glad I went because I got to see Tabatha speak in person again and she's so inspirational. I felt my motivation for the business come back and was able to quiet those little voices of doubt. I also got to hear Tabatha and Virginia (Regional Vice President) speak on more of a personal level which was nice.

Also Virginia has serious house goals - her kitchen is amazing. I love the way she decorates it and all the nice furniture. Not to mention her adorable dog Penny.

Anyway, I took a lot from today and was able to gain more self-confidence. I got my positive self back again and met some more people. I have more of a game plan now for what I'd like to do in upcoming weeks and can't wait to see what's in store.

For now I'm going to bed since I feel like I've been up for two days. Tired Alicia is not a nice Alicia.. good night world ✌

Holiday Weekend

I had a great holiday weekend, I didn't do anything too crazy but got to spend time with family and friends. I went on a boat poker run and froze, baby sat my dog who recently had surgery and spent some time fishing with my family. I'm thankful that I have such great people in my life and live in such a beautiful place. I hope everyone else had a great weekend as well!

Sister's Fair

Today Domminique and I were vendors at the Sister's Fair hosted by the Sexual Assault Crisis Clinic. It was my first time being an Arbonne vendor and it was really fun. Quite a few people were interested in the products and I learned how to approach people checking out our table. It's also nice to support a great cause and learn more about resources in the community. Not that I'm a hard core feminist but it was nice to be a part of something that empowers women since sexual assault is still prominent in society today.

All in all it was a great day and I'm very happy to have my Arbonne support system. Now I feel more prepared for my next event

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to my amazing mom. I don't even know how to thank her for all that she's done for me. She's always been there for me during my bad days and celebrated with me on my good days. I wouldn't have been able to start my Arbonne business or have the courage to go back to school without her support. She looks 10 years younger than she really is and is a 20-something at heart. You'll never catch her wearing mom jeans or having a bad hair day; I'm lucky to have a mom as stylish as her that I can borrow clothes from. Although she will never love squirrels, pigs or cantaloupe I still love her anyway.

Waterloo Adventures

Yesterday I had a great day in Waterloo with my sponsor Elizabeth and her sister Domminique. We go up once a month for region meetings and this time I got to meet my upline Tabitha in person for the first time and heard her deliver an amazing DA. It's so inspiping to hear someone with so much passion and enthusiasm present the business opportunity. It makes me want to push myself into momentum and make may my best month yet.

Side note we came across this cute cafe called Café O owned by a mother and daughter team. They had great desserts which speaks to my heart and the cutest decorations.  The atmosphere is so chill and inviting.
