It has been a little bit....

Image
  Well, it has been a while since I updated my blog. I have been really busy with life.  I am still attending college full-time, working full-time, being a mom, and operating my Jordan Essentials business.  I have been pretty active on my Facebook Page trying to get that up and going.  You can find it here Take Tym . My son Wilhelm has been working on a movie called The Fade: Resistance  which takes more time than you realize until you are into it :-) but he loves it. I will try to be better at posting on here. I have been doing more Midjourny art and keep wanting to share it here.  So maybe I will try to do at least one a week.... We will see :-) Here is one of the ones I did :-) Well, I think this is all for today. I had to go through and update the links and posts I had in the blog to make them relevant to now. 

Attempt #2 with Midjourney AI

Image
 Attempt #2 with Midjourney AI This one is my favorite and the one I am at this time using for my Pathfinder Character Katyonka:  But here are the works I did trying to find Katyonka. I tried with some different words to see if I could get it to use Antlers instead of horns.  These were all done on August 9th 2022  

Attempt #1 with Midjourney AI

Image
Attempt #1 with Midjourney AI  I have just started playing with Midjourney AI in creating Art.  It is a pretty addicting process and I flew through my free 25 images in a flash just trying to figure out what I was doing.    Here are some of the pieces I ended up with on August 9th 2022 while trying to make my Pathfinder character Katyonka.   I was trying to get a female, elf, druid, long hair, green eyes, with antlers ( I put horns oops.)  next to a unicorn.  The computer didn't seem to understand what I was looking for.     And I didn't understand how to click on what image to ask for more detail or variations. I have learned a little more since this first attempt.     

Price Changes for The Body Shop Aug 1st 2022

Image
  I want to be transparent with all my customers. So when I find information out I will share it here. This is from our home office "We always try to keep our products as affordable as possible while offering the fair prices for sourcing the ingredients from our CFT partners. However, due to the macroeconomic situation we have decided to increase the prices for some of our products as of August 1st. We want to be transparent with what products will be changing prices."   You can ask me for a list and I can email it to you.  

A Simple Note

Image
This might look like just a simple note. The beginning of August 2010 I had to rush my 2 week baby boy to the hospital. He wasn't getting enough to eat and we ended up in the hospital. I wouldn't leave his side and one day the nurse said I really needed to go get some fresh air and take a walk. She said he would be fine. It was stressful but I went.  When I got back this note was waiting for me. It might look like just a simple note but it meant so much to me. The nurse understood my fear and wanted to make sure I knew we were in good hands. A simple note that will last forever. It eased my anxiety, and built trust.   Sometimes it just takes a simple note to make someones day. :-)  

Oh The Joys of Passwords

Image
  It seems once I think I have a great password then my computer says I typed it wrong. So I type it again and again it says it is wrong. So I make a new one. Because at this point I think I have forgotten the password.    I go to make the new one and it says you can't use that one because it is what you just had. UGH......   So now I am stuck with making a new password when I knew the current one. This then leads me to having a million different options when I go to log into anything. I have tried to write them down but I don't always have pen and paper with me.  Today I am having a hard time because I got a new computer a few months ago but didn't want to try to change things because I was working on a college class that seemed to be draining me! ( but I have since passed it ) So time to take on the challenge of moving my things to my new computer....... And here goes all those can you recall your password. If anyone has any good suggestions on how to save you...

     Today I feel good! It has been a long time since I spent a little extra time and did self-care. Today I tried new products and took the time to experience them.         Take in the smells, sensations, and textures!        I feel refreshed and ready for the day. I actually looked in the mirror when I was done and liked what I saw. I haven't been seeing this person in a while. I have been looking in the mirror and finding all my flaws and age...feeling old.        Today I feel good in my skin!        I loved the products and I love knowing that they are cruelty-free which is very important to me, as well as good to the planet as well as people.        This is a fair trade company, they are a B corporation and part of the Vegan Society!!        The more I learn the more I am in love!

They have changed the name of so many things!! I love learning but I really love when I pass the assignment. This week I am working on finishing up my final! Once I pass that I will be starting a Math Class... YUCK I am not fond of math.  But I need to get it done.  Today I am proud I passed my final task for this class!

Why Mercari

Image
 Why I joined Mercari It's easy to buy & sell on Mercari. Get up to $30 when you get started. Use code MFATPC when you sign up with my link: My daughter told me about this site and that it was working for her. So I used her referral code and joined. I didn't expect much but I was surprised.  I started posting things around the house I didn't use anymore as well as old stock from companies I once sold for.  Or things I bought thinking I would use but didn't.  And guess what they sold!! I earned $40 to shop. I also needed to buy some ink for my printer and thought I will check out Mercari and see if anyone is selling it. And they were!!! I got my ink for half the price I would have paid going to the store.  So between my order and my sales, I made $30. plus all the profit from things lying around my house. I have since referred other friends and as they shop and sell I have earned more shopping credit.  This has been a great way for me to earn a little ...

My WHY when it comes to Direct Sales.

Image
   My WHY when it comes to  Direct Sales. I have been doing direct sales since 1989 I have worked with many companies, team leaders, and down-lines. I have learned a lot about what to do and what not to do over the years. One thing I can tell you is I have learned a lot about myself through this experience. As a young single mom, I worked hard to take care of my daughter. I found doing direct sales a great way to get some things I wanted without taking them away from my daughter. It was also something she could do with me. It was fun but also helped pay a bill here or there. I then added to my family when I got married and had two more boys to add to the mix. So being a working mom with 3 small children again I found direct sales very helpful. I remember buying a Discovery Toy kit to make sure my son had birthday presents one year. As I grew as a person, a mom, and a wife I also grew in my business. I became a leader and found I enjoyed helping other women find their pass...
