Don’t Miss This Opportunity

Don't Miss This Opportunity! Beautycounter is a small company that is growing bigger by the day. We need YOU to grow the company and fulfill its mission! @heathersdish

A little over 8 years ago I started a blog.

 

A little over 7 years ago I decided to make it a little more serious by buying a domain name and setting a big goal: to work from home as a blogger.

 

A little over 5 years ago that goal became a reality, a combination of 2 years of nonstop work and grit + the addition of our firstborn.

 

A little over 2 years ago we welcomed our second son, and the dream that I had worked on for so long left me wanting.

 

Wanting for more income. Wanting for more time with my family (can you believe that?). Wanting for chance to branch out beyond food. Wanting for the ability to say more YES to the things that matter. Wanting to say a lot more NO to the things that were devouring my time.

 

In the Fall of 2016 I started considering network marketing opportunities. Several women that I know and trust were making a good amount of income for less work than I was spending on my blog. They were doing things they really enjoyed, sharing the story of how pursuing the unexpected had changed their lives. I looked into it more, asked questions, prayed, talked to my husband, thought about it, ignored it, and started the cycle again. Needless to say I didn’t miss the opportunity; my hope and prayer is that you won’t either.

 

Here’s the thing: I have had readers leave, followers unfollow, emails sent complaining about my choice to work with Beautycounter. And that’s fine – another post for another day – because I couldn’t be happier about the fact that I took the opportunity before it passed me by. All those wants that I talked about? I found them – more income (considerably more than I make blogging, by the way), more time with my family. A chance to become more than a food blogger, while still keeping the pieces of food blogging that I love. I can now say YES to the things that really set my soul on fire, and have the financial freedom to say NO to the things that take up silly amounts of time and effort.

 

PLUS I am working with a ground-breaking company that is on the forefront of changing an entire industry that desperately needs change. I get to work with strong women of every different background who all have the same mission: making skincare safer for everyone.

 

I know I’ll likely lose some readers with this post and that’s fine; maybe their opportunity is coming another way another day. But if you have ever wondered what it really looks like or what it really means to work for Beautycounter, I’m an open book and would love to answer any questions you might have. I would hate to hide the opportunity I took from anyone who’s interested in changing their lives and changing the world. If you want to know more, I would love to chat! Just leave a comment on this post and I’ll email you at the address you use in the comment form!

Just popping in from the place moms flock to on ra Just popping in from the place moms flock to on rainy days just to get out of the dang house: the aisles of Target. 😂 Not a lot to say, but I’m going to leave you  with 3 affirmations I want you to repeat to yourself today:

❤️ I AM STRONG
❤️ I AM CAPABLE
❤️ I AM ENOUGH

BECAUSE YOU ARE. Have a wonderful day friends!
Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
🥗 FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are 🥗 FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, “you can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.” That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!
And sometimes this is what it means to “work fro And sometimes this is what it means to “work from home.” 😂
Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

🥗Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

🥗High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

🥗Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1️⃣Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2️⃣The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3️⃣Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4️⃣A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. 🍳 Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!

Pictured: seared mushrooms, roasted baby broccoli, bacon and 2 eggs. Not pictured: another parfait like last night’s because 😋.

What’s your brinner go-to?!
