Joining Beautycounter isn't just signing up with another company, it's becoming part of a movement that will change the lives of millions. #takethejob

[quote from Grant Cardone]

In my career life I’ve been fortunate enough to work at some pretty cool places with some incredible people, but along the way I couldn’t help but feel like it still wasn’t enough. I loved the regular salary, benefits, and most of all the relationships; however, something always felt off. I never thought of myself as an entrepreneur, but God slowly eased me into it. The past 6 years of running my own businesses has taught me what this exact quote says: I can work to make my dreams and the dreams of my family come true, or I can work to do the same for someone else. You have that same choice too, and as someone who has been on both sides of this coin I would recommend the former every time.

 

This post isn’t about Beautycounter (specifically anyway), but rather about taking chances on the big dreams you have. Maybe it IS a dream to be working as part of a team in a company that is rocketing forward and changing the world. Maybe it IS a dream to stay home with your kids. Maybe you want to create a startup, start a blog, advance to the next rank of whatever your current career is. Maybe your dream is to inspire, in some way or another, the people around you to be better.

 

Whatever it is, my prayer for you today is that rather than sitting back and being used as a resource, you define what your dreams are and begin to create an action plan to get there. Be brave and be bold and decide to make the most out whatever your passions and strengths are. Don’t accept the status quo simply because it’s the status quo, but rather be willing to take the road less traveled. I can tell you it is scary and oh so worth it!

 

So. What is it? That dream that’s bubbling up inside of you, working to get out and create a ruckus in your life? What is that passion that keeps you awake at night and that lights your soul on fire? I would love to hear what it is – leave it in the comments below!

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Affirmations for YOU today. Even when you don’t Affirmations for YOU today. Even when you don’t feel it, these are truths that I’m holding for you. ❤️
3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
