So I just want to get extremely honest for a couple minutes. Without the “buy this mascara” or “join my team” posts. Right now, I want to share WHY I am doing this, because I know a lot of people think this is crazy or stupid, and that nothing can come out of doing this. But in all honestly, I think something can. So just bare with me! Everyday I wake up to my adorable, amazing son. Jameson is almost 17 months old now, and is changing every single day. I spend my day changing diapers, reading him books, and watching him learn so much! He hugs me and kisses me all day, as I watch him learn to say words like “truck” and that a duck goes “quack”. Yes, sometimes I deal with crying, or toddler tantrums when I won’t let him put strawberries in the toilet, but I wouldn’t want to spend my day doing anything else. Then when he is occupied (mostly napping, or off trying to throw my keys through the doggy door) I am cleaning or cooking. This stay-at-home-mom life doesn’t appeal to a lot of women, but it’s all I’ve ever wanted, and it’s what gives me the most joy. Then my wonderful husband gets home (most nights late) and he has spent the day working his butt off to support our family, and to serve his country. He is exhausted, and mentally drained, but he still manages to make me laugh, and make me feel loved every minute that we are together. I am so thankful for him and my son, I can’t even put it into words. I am truly, truly blessed. My only wish is that I could also contribute financially to my family. My problem, I can’t do that without leaving my son. He is my world, and everyday I watch him and feel so completely blessed. I don’t want to leave him, and I don’t want to miss one single moment. So when a close friend started working for Younique and asked me to join, I was interested… Concerned, but interested. Being in the Military life, I knew a lot of other wives and mothers who had tried to do something like this. They were selling Scentsy, or Mary Kay, or some other product. I knew SO many women trying their best to sell the inventory they had, but it was so difficult because some many other women were doing it. I never thought I would EVER be doing something like this, because from what I’d seen… It didn’t work. But I did my research. My close friend (now my sponsor) got me in touch with some amazingggg women, who were extremely successful at it, AND LOVING IT. So I decided, “Hey, I’ll join? 99$ for 400$ of makeup, I can’t beat that deal! Even if I don’t sell anything, I still get the makeup!” So I logged on to her party, and I joined her team. Then the makeup arrived and I fell in LOOOVE with all of the products. The mascara makes me feel like I look beautiful even if I’m in my yoga pants, and a toddler stained t-shirt from target. I feel beautiful when I’m scrubbing dishes with bleach stains on my sleeves. That’s hard to do! When I started to feel more confident in myself, I started to feel like I AM MORE THAN JUST JAMESON’S mom. I am smart, and I am dedicated, and I can actually be successful in this like the women before me. Because this company is amazing, the products are amazing, why shouldn’t I be just as successful? So if you are annoyed, or wondering why I just CAN’T SEEM TO STOP posting photos about these products. This is why! I want to continue to be a stay at home mom, and to contribute financially to my family. I want it all! I want to feel smart, and respected, along with feeling loved and fulfilled. I don’t see anything wrong with that, and I think we all deserve it. So I’m sorry if my facebook posts are just beyond obnoxious, but right now I am trying my best to start my own little business, and to gain success, and I am forever thankful for all the support you have shown me and my family. I know this was long, but thanks for reading! With love and laughter, Christi
