My dear readers,
I just want to quickly say thank you for reading my blog and no, I haven't fallen off the planet. I have simply (dang pregnancy brain) forgotten that I have this blog. But I have also been busy. July brought on a couple of trips home, false alarms about labor, frustration, heat, and overall craziness.
The Squid (now being just a few weeks from his birthday) has decided to become a full on Terrible Two Toddler before his second birthday. He's been very disobedient and rebellious and, frankly, I don't know how much more I can handle! It's crazy how my sweet little angel is now so picky, says no to everything, and doesn't listen to me. So that's been frustrating.
My sister got married in the middle of July. That was interesting to say the least. Let's just say that I'm glad it wasn't my wedding, but I wish that certain people had minded the schedule that was put together (though one incident was my fault), especially when it came to eating food. It was good, but things did not go smoothly. But it was great to have some time off from work (both FATMAN! and I) and to just relax after all of the chaos with my family.
Then work started up afterwards again. I love my "job" as a Jamberry consultant. I truly do, but everything has its ups and downs and July was a small down after April, May, and June. (Things are already looking up for August!) So that was a little bit of a bummer, but not quite as frustrating and/or stressful as it was for FATMAN!. He manages the store that he works in and summer is the busiest time of the year. So he (and I) prefer to have as many employees in the store as possible during summer. At the end of June, the assistant manager took a different job and moved away. It was a great opportunity for the assistant manager, but that left FATMAN! one employee short. AND he isn't getting a replacement for another couple of weeks. So he's gone all of July missing his assistant manager and he's had to pick up hours, clean up any messes caused by other employees, and do the manager and assistant manager responsibilities. He has definitely been stressed and run ragged. I am so grateful that he has sacrificed so much so that I can stay home with the kids.
Speaking of kids, Storm, our puppy, has also become a brat. And I'm going to leave it at that for the sake of lengthy blog posts.
Then a couple of weeks after my sister's wedding, I had the opportunity presented to me to go to a meeting at Jamberry Home Office. So I convinced FATMAN! to make the drive again to my parents' house and I was able to go to a very wonderful and much needed meeting. I got training, motivation, new ideas, and I got to go with my sister in law! It was great! (Not to mention the free and discounted stuff I got.)
On top of all of these events, it's summer. It's hot and miserable. On top of that, I'm near the end of my pregnancy. I hate summer in general. I hate being hot and sweaty and exhausted. This is my second summer pregnancy and I knew what to expect as far as pregnant in summer goes, but I never thought this time around would be harder to cope with. I thought my little angel would stay an angel a little bit longer, I didn't think my unborn son would cause me so much pain and worry (referring to the false alarm labor scare I mentioned earlier), and I certainly didn't expect that my husband would be so much busier and more stressed from work and other things in our lives. I am just over 7 weeks away from my due date. It's going to be the longest 7 weeks of the summer. I can say that with confidence because this whole summer has been LONG! I hate being pregnant in summer and I will never do it again, but I can't wait to meet my little boy.
Sorry for going on a ranting spree. I just needed to get it out in a different form. Thanks for sticking with me. Hopefully, I'll remember to post more often until D day.

I LOVE My New Job!!!!
So, I just started a new job a few weeks ago and I can already say that I LOVE IT!!! And the biggest part about my new job that I love is that I'm still a SAHM and get to take care of my Squid all the time.
What's my new job? I am now a consultant for Jamberry Nails! What are Jamberry Nails?
Jams are heat-activated vinyl nail wraps. They're unlike anything else you can buy anywhere else. They're not polish strips. They outlast the dollar-store brands and even the expensive salon brands. They don't chip, fade, or smell -- and they don't dry out or expire.
Jamberry nail wraps last up to 2 weeks on your fingers and up to 6 weeks on your toes. (Yes, you read that right!) Unlike other brands who's labels have over 20 ingredients, Jamberry wraps have 2- and they are non-toxic, vegan, and gluten free!
Or in other words, Jamberry Nail wraps are stickers that are way better than nail polish in many ways. They last longer, don't stink, are easy to put on, make no mess, and are cheaper than going to the nail salon every week. I love Jamberry!
When I first joined my friend's online Jamberry party, I was skeptical at first. I am super hard on my nails. I craft, bake, clean, change Squid's diapers, play with Squid and his hard toys, play the piano, and do other things with my hands every day all day long. I am hard on my nails. I love having my nails done but I hated the smell, dry time, and mess of doing them myself but I don't have the money, nor the time, to go to the salon and have them done all the time. Not to mention that my manicures never lasted more than 24 hours tops before chipping. So when I asked for a sample to try, I wasn't expecting anything. I was pleasantly and shocked with surprised!
These nail wraps are the next best thing! I'm not joking! Had I discovered Jamberry sooner, my life would be simpler and my pregnancy would have been just a bit easier. If I have to narrow the things I love about Jamberry down to my top 1 love it's that these nails make feeling pretty all the time so much easier! I love that they are non-toxic. I love that there is no dry time. I love that there are no smells. I love that there is no mess. I love that I can do both of my hands and you won't be able to tell if I'm right or left handed just by looking at my nails. I love that it takes me 15 minutes (25 tops if I'm distracted) from start to finish to do a manicure. I love that I have access to OVER 300 DESIGNS to use and I don't have to do a million tiny steps. I love that my nails can look professionally done all the time. I love that I get to be paid to have pretty nails! I love the sisterhood that I have entered and the love and support that comes with it. I love Jamberry!
So after my friend's party, I had to host a party. And it was awesome! It was a great way for me to get a tiny sneak peek at what running a party was like because my sponsor let me post a few things. After my party, I knew I wanted to join, but I needed to wait until after I moved into the new house before I could actually do anything with Jamberry. However, I did join before moving in but I didn't actually jump in with both feet until the beginning of this month. WORD TO THE WISE: If you decide to join any company, don't do it in the middle of moving. Save yourself some time and stress. I started my training while I was packing boxes and moving into the new house. I should have never done that. If I could go back and change it, I would. BUT my launch party was a success and I was able to start out in the company with a good strong start!
I don't have any previous experience with direct selling. In fact, I had sworn I would never do any direct selling unless I was desperate. But how can you say no when you love the product so much and know of lots of women who also would love it?! Jamberry is still relatively new. It started in 2010 and is still reaching out to many areas of the U.S. and Canada. They are about to launch into Australia and New Zealand in October! Jamberry is growing and it's growing fast. But of course it's growing fast! Who doesn't want 2 manicures, 2 pedicures, and some left over for only $15? AND you can do it at home and have them look amazing!
I am absolutely in love with Jamberry and the success I have already seen from being a consultant, even though it is only a little. I wish I had discovered them sooner. I'm a former nail biter. Keyword there: FORMER! My nails used to be so short I never had any white tip. They are still brittle (I'm working on that), but my nails have never looked better. And if you don't think the wraps are for you, Jamberry also has their own 5 free (no harmful chemicals) lacquer and brand new gel nail enamel lines! And the lacquers and enamels are just as amazing as the wraps in their own ways.
If you think you would like to try a sample, feel free to contact me. Here is my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/wyogaljamberry. You can send me a message there and I'll send you a sample to try. Here is the link to my website to look around at the amazing designs they have: musicchick.jamberry.com/shop. If you feel like you might want to host an online Facebook party, you can book one here: musicchick.jamberry.com/host. Want some extra income? Join my team! It's $99 for the starter kit, but you easily earn that back in your first and/or second party. Join here: musicchick.jamberry.com/join.
I wish I could show how excited I am about Jamberry! But words can only do so much.
