WAHM Candle Business

12:37 PM Posted In , , , Edit This 0 Comments »
After many years of searching and researching, I have finally found a work at home business that I am excited to be a part of! It's called Scentsy, and they make wickless candles (like tarts), warmers, room sprays, etc.

As some of you may know, I haven't been able to have a "real job" for a few years now, because of my back. So, I've looked and looked, and just felt like a lot of things were a scam of some sort, or there were too many people selling for some companies, already. This is not the case with Scentsy. It's a fairly new company, being only 5 years old, but they are experiencing tremendous growth right now! Plus, in lots of places, especially in the East, there aren't a lot of consultants, yet. So, NOW is a wonderful time to join!

I'm really excited by this company, and the people who run it! It is Christian based, and the people involved are just a super crowd! And, I have my eyes set on winning some trips and cruises. I don't know if they have any gulf shores rentals in the works, but I'm not picky! LOL

But back to my point. If you're looking for a wonderful company to work for, that doesn't cost a lot to get started, then you really should look into Scentsy! I'd love to make you a part of my team! Please go to my site, and read all about it, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Lovers of Books

Ok, I admit it, I'm totally into social networking and such. I love fiddling with my blog, and adding widgets to my site! LOL But this one, at least, is perhaps not so frivolous.

For anyone who loves to read, and loves to share the books they've read, and are reading, this is a really neat tool! It's called Shelfari. And, it allows you to build a Virtual Bookshelf! Isn't that fun??!!! I bet I know one person who would love it. That's my oldest daughter. She is very much into Dean Koontz, and similar authors, and she enjoys sharing what she's read!

You can use the social network built into the site, and connect with your friends, or find new ones, or, you can put the Shelfari widget on your own blog or social network! It works with Blogger, LiveJournal, MySpace, Typepad, Xanga, Vox, Wordpress.com, Facebook, and more. It looks like lots of fun for all you big readers out there!

Are You A Leader?

Some people are just born leaders. Do you agree? They can just take a group of people, understand what needs to be done, and coordinate and delegate until it GETS done. But, you don't have to be born with the skills it takes to become a leader. These skills can be learned! And, even better, they can be learned at home! For instance, you can get a degree online at Gonzaga University.

One key skill to being a leader is being able to organize. So, at Gonzaga University, you can get a Masters in organizational development. Learning such things as how to forge alliances, build hope and confidence, inspire shared vision, turn details into action, and think creatively! Those sound like wonderful skills for anyone, whether they want to be a leader or not!

You can also get a Masters in organizational leadership. People who have this degree have gone on to be Product Managers, Senior Financial Analysts, CFOs, Vice Presidents, and more!

If I were looking to go back to school and get into the corporate world, I would seriously consider going to Gonzaga University. Not just because I could get my degree online, but also their flexible scheduling, expert instruction, and accredited program. They have a lot to offer the serious student.

Video and Chat for Moms

11:17 PM Posted In , , Edit This 0 Comments »
I'm all keyed up tonight! I just got done watching 24/7 Moms on MomTV.com! Well, it's not exactly watching, because you're chatting and interacting with a bunch of other ladies. They have a show every Tuesday night. You'll have to check momtv.com to find out the time for your time zone.

Tonight's show was a special 2 hour giveaway show! And it was themed around baby items. I don't have a baby, but I enjoy their show and the chat so much, that I went anyway! LOL And, I won an electronic ear thermometer! Yay!

Last week, I won a Swiffer Sweeper! Now, if I could just win a treadmill, I'll be set! LOL
