I am just plain excited!!

Too Excited to Sleep
You know how when you find something that you love and you really want to share it with people, you cannot sleep, or you wake up several times a night with these great ideas of how you can really share it and let people know how awesome it is...?

Well That is what has been happening to me.

I have so many fantastic things that I really want to share with the world! I just got back from convention with my business colleagues. :) We are all independent, but work together.

A couple of the things that I came to realize have etched a perma-smile on my face the last few days...

Join?
One thing that I am excited about is that the reasoning behind my joining the company in the first place, I love the product: It is getting better!! They are listening not only to the consultants, but the customers and they are constantly improving and taking our ideas and creating them, making them real.

Integrity and Love
Another reason I joined is the integrity of the company... They not only have great integrity, but they have love. I had met the owners previously. It has been a few months, and out of an ever increasing amount of over 40,000 consultants, when I met them again at convention, they remembered my name. No name tag, they remembered. I felt so loved and I felt so significant.

I want to be like that. I want to remember everyone I meet and let them feel the love that I truly have for life and the people who are sharing this amazing journey with me.

Mission Statement
Another reason I joined this particular company was that I really loved the mission statement. It came alive to me at this (my first) convention. "To bring value to the world by providing an industry leading, family-friendly business opportunity selling creative, artistic, high-quality products that warm the heart, enliven the senses, and inspire the soul."

Scent
This is what it does. There is no way that it will not happen. When you smell something, it is emotional. Your soul comes alive as it is flooded with memory, both good and bad. You are inspired, enlivened and your home and heart is warmed with goodness. I love that!!

Website
I am really, really excited that we are going to have a much, MUCH better website launch on September first. I have been kind of frustrated with the website and it's non-functionality. I am so INCREDIBLY excited about the new website.

If you have visited my website you know that it is not very friendly and that I have an awful lot of information on my home page... I do that because there really is a lot that I don't want anyone to miss out on, and hope that whomever is looking at it will get what they personally need. After September first, you will see a much more beautiful and personalized website that has better functionality. :) YEAH!!! :) Go ahead feel my excitement and do a giddy little dance with me. :)

Benefits
I am excited about these things, but I am also excited about a couple more things that to my knowledge a Direct Selling business doesn't normally, or ever offer or provide to their consultants... They are providing a group insurance to us! They are launching a scholarship fund for our children. They have established a contribution program to help our local communities. With this, it isn't you giving them money that they can spend, it is US, You and I simply pledging to spend money to our locally owned businesses on a certain day. "On my Honor" :) This I love!

There are soo many fabulous things that are being provided, offered and improved upon. I just had to share it all with you. :)

More Love
I love that in order for me to be "at the top" I don't have to climb over anyone. I can only get to the top if I help others. Life is about giving more than we take. When we give a little love, we undoubtedly get a lot of love in return. I hope you will always remember to love and give more than you take. :)

Enjoy right now.

Why You Should Never Use Scented Oils In a Home with Small Children

I found this article today. I found an alternative to Scented Oils, and from experience I am quite happy with it.

I found this article here.

Jar of heated oil spills and burns Roy baby
Published: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 10:49 p.m. MDT
ROY — A 1-year-old child was hospitalized Tuesday after he suffered second-degree burns.

Roy Fire Capt. Ron Lathem said the child was seated near a jar of heated, scented oil resting on a table Tuesday morning. The child apparently pulled on a cord attached to the jar and the oil spilled over his head, shoulders and back. He suffered second-degree burns over about 30 percent of his body, Lathem said.

Paramedics responded, and Roy Police Sgt. Pete O'Brien said Life Flight flew the child to Primary Children's Medical Center. Doctors said skin grafts won't be needed, and the child is expected to make a full recovery, O'Brien said.

I Got My First Warmers - Gifts Are Awesome

I received my first warmer and scented wax bars as a gift when I was pregnant with my twins. I instantly fell in love with these items. I put the warmer in my kitchen and was in heaven. You know how when you are pregnant you are super sensitive to smells. You need things to smell good.

When You Love Something - Add Another

I purchased another warmer a short time later to put in the boys room. So with two warmers in our home, there were no problems, not even a tug on either of the warmers cords. I had the one in their room tucked nicely in a corner, with no worries.

Mobility Usually Leads To A Topple or Two

One day when the boys were about a year or so old... and very mobile... The solitude of the warmer that was tucked so nicely in the corner was expunged (he-he I just wanted to use a big word). The boys got into it and General Potty got it all over the bed and all over himself.

No Harm - No Foul

He just stopped and looked at his hand and wondered what was on him. No crying, no damage. He was perfectly fine. We peeled the wax off of him and went about cleaning up the mess. With a plastic edge (we used... I think our Pet Perks card) we scraped the wax off the wall and bed and the bedding all washed with no sign of any wax ever being around.

Home and Child Safety

This is a very safe product to have in any home, but especially any home with small children. There are so many smells associated with children... Poop, urine, vomit, etc., etc., etc. We desperately need the sources of good smells in our home to help shade, if not eliminate, the odors that are inevitably around with our kids.

Warmers - Scented Oils - Candles...

I have never used scented oils and I never will. I will never use a candle again, unless it is an emergency. I have been in too many homes that have permanent soot on the walls and ceiling. I have also had a few acquaintances have their homes burned to the ground because someone forgot to blow the candle out. Candles and oils are literally being burned... I don't want anything burning in my house...

In Conclusion

I love these items because they don't burn, they are just warm. They smell great and last a very long time, but most importantly, I never have to worry about them harming my precious babies. My personal opinion is that wickless candles are the way to go.

Enjoy right now!
