I'm back!!!

Hello Everyone!!! I hope you all have had an enjoyable summer thus far. It has really been a fairly mild summer here in Southeastern Wisconsin. Its not only been mild in weather but also mild in extracurricular activities too. With this new job that I started just about 8 weeks ago I haven't had a chance or the opportunity to take time off and enjoy the summer. Funds have also been an issue as well. But I've been trying to make the most of it as much as possible.

Here are a couple of fun things I've done so far:

• Zac Brown Band (Alpine Valley)---this was an awesome show and I cannot wait to see them again some day in the future.
• My 25th Birthday Celebration---we ended up going to see Bella Cain my favorite local country cover band in the area and it was over all a very good weekend, I was taken out to a nice dinner to Texas Roadhouse with a guy who I really enjoy spending time with
• Luke Bryan Concert----I guess I failed to mention above that for my birthday my mom had bought me tickets to go see LB at summerfest grounds. It was such a great time. That was my 3rd time seeing him in concert in the last year and it never fails to be anything less then amazing. I cannot wait until next week when they show his special on GAC and to go buy his new CD when it comes out! Yes I'm a huge dork! 
• Dave Matthews Concert (Alpine Valley)-----this venue has seriously become one of my favorite places to go see concerts. Its such a beautiful place and if you ever get a chance you should go see a show there. I had met up with an old college buddy to go see this concert with him, he is a huge DMB fan, unlike myself, I didn't really enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I only knew like 4 of his most popular songs, and his music just didn't speak to me. However I can now cross it off my bucket list!
• Racine Co Fair--which was last week 7/24-7/28 I really enjoyed fair week, and get sad when it has to end. Fair is one thing I really look forward to. I didn't exactly get to see all parts of fair like I had wanted to but I"ll be sure to do that at the Kenosha County Fair in a couple weeks. It's always a good time seeing and spending time with all the country kids (guess we aren't really kids anymore!)

Like I mentioned I haven't been able to enjoy all the things I have wanted to, and a lot has happened in life and at work within the last month. I have really slacked on working my Mary Kay business and I get angry with myself for allowing that to happen.  But I think we don't realize how much things mean to us until we don't put as much effort into them. And I've made a promise to myself to set aside 1 hour a day to work this business. I don't want to lose sight of myself and my vision of my life without Mary Kay.  It really has changed my life and outlook on things in the short time I have been a consultant. So ladies, who wants to take part in a skincare class??? I'd love for you to join me for an evening as I teach my skincare class and you can test out some of our most popular products.
Lastly, my weight loss/fitness goals have gotten kicked to curb once again. I've continued to fail on these goals over and over again. I've gotten back up and tried and tired. Its finally time to just do it. I've learned the most motivation for me is seeing someone else who I admire or look up to who can do something I aspire to do.....NOW if they can do it so can I. And things just aren't going to change on their own. I'm my own worst enemy in life and I need to keep feeding myself positive reinforcement. The only person who can change the things you don't like in your life is you. So its now a new month, its a new Seminar year in Mary Kay and its time to make some real big changes. And I know I have the love and support of friends and family behind me and I can't wait to document and share the changes, struggles, and triumphs with all of you! You'll be hearing more from me!
