Big old cheesy grin thinking about the week ahead Big old cheesy grin thinking about the week ahead because in just FOUR short days I’ll be packing my bags and headed to Georgia with 18 of my best and brightest Beautycounter leaders. This is our largest incentive group to date - and each of these women worked their booty’s off in 2020 to earn the trip. When I told my husband four years ago that I wanted to run and finance a team incentive trip, it seemed sort of crazy. But he gave me a budget and a small group of us went to Nashville in 2017. The team has grown and the incentive trip has gotten a major upgrade (thanks @heatherchristophertravel for your genius planning skills!) but the heart remains the same: spending time with some of my favorite people (and some new friends!) getting to celebrate the hard work we do all year long - oftentimes alone, through the peaks and valleys, not together in person but connected via zoom and Voxer and Facebook. So excited to see my faves SOON!
Sometimes (many times) I run around trying to figu Sometimes (many times) I run around trying to figure out the best use of nap time. But hands down the best use? Hard workout + shower + blow dried hair. Leaves me recharged for phase 2 of the day every time.

What’s YOUR ideal use of nap time?!
Six years ago I did something scary. I was a new Six years ago I did something scary. I  was a new mom with a four month old baby. We had recently made a big move for Joe’s job to our hometown - a place I said as a young 20-something I would never do - and yet here I found myself. I had always dreamed of being my own boss and working my own hours and being in a place where I could create something all my own. And yet it seemed WAY too scary to actually do. But our move provided the launching point I needed to get the courage to do just that. Three babies in 5 years. Working crazy and often times margin type hours. Growing something significant while raising many tiny humans. But man has it been worth it. Feeling so thankful to have said “YES” to that little voice inside that was pulling me in this direction. And even more thankful for the amazing women I get to do this work with every day. ❤️🙌

This lived-in home is perfectly “us” - so much This lived-in home is perfectly “us” - so much so that I couldn’t ever imagine moving. You could say we are in a long term relationship over here - me and this house. It’s got a dozen things that I could rattle off that need fixing, it’s not the newest or shiniest or most perfect house around, but man I had no idea I could love a house this much.

While I love a house project as much (or more!) as the next person, let this be a reminder that we can appreciate perfect homes, new homes, clean homes, giant homes, etc without it taking anything away from the places we make OUR home.

In a society that tells us that wrinkles, “imper In a society that tells us that wrinkles, “imperfections,” stretch marks, and saggy skin are issues to be fixed, let’s be confident and thankful for evidence of a life fully lived. As I head into my mid 30’s, I know my body isn’t getting any younger and that’s OK. No, it’s better than OK - it’s a beautiful thing to age. 
.

As someone who sells skincare for a living, I get the pull to perfect my outward appearance. And at the same time, I reject that pull. Real, imperfect and unfiltered will always be the name of the game here. Because feeling good about your skin AND accepting the beauty that is aging can go hand in hand. ❤️😘

An ordinary picture worth capturing to remember ho An ordinary picture worth capturing to remember how, out of the blue, on days like yesterday, I can be walking hand in hand with this one waiting for his sisters to be done with school and be suddenly overcome. Brought to tears - happy ones - remembering the miracle of him just being ALIVE. Truett you’re a great joy. ❤️😭
Productivity Hack! This may seem obvious to some o Productivity Hack! This may seem obvious to some of you, but in case it’s not, I want to share the productivity hack that has changed my life. A while back I was constantly drowning in a never ending to-do list of work and personal tasks. My list was LONG each day! And I was constantly left to cherry pick items off the list that I wanted to do, leaving the items I found less fun pushed back to the next day’s list. 
.
.
Until one day, @joeyhofmeyer told me something that changed it all for me: pick just three things! Each day I write down ONLY 3 personal to-do items and 3 work to-do items. That’s it. No long running list. It forces me to pick only THE most important things to go on my list and then I’m ruthless about getting those things done. It’s eliminated procrastination (a bad habit of mine) and made my work time more productive. I’m able to close the “work brain” off knowing I’ve done the most pressing items for the day. It allows me to REST mentally because I don’t feel constantly behind and scattered.

Who else has tried this hack? Who NEEDS this hack? Report back if you give it a try!!
