Introducing the Wonder Woman Collection by Jamberry!

Wonder Women Collection by Jamberry Wrap Giveaway!

I always encourage women to be the best version of themselves.  To me, this means embracing what I'm good at, and letting go of those things I'll never be good at.  I spent many years trying desperately to be the very best housekeeper, homeschool mom and housewife.  In fact, many of those lessons and struggles are captured in the archives of this blog!

What I've discovered more recently, is that I have many other things that I'm good at!  I am an encourager, I'm insightful, I'm really good at attraction marketing and sales.  I love to train, teach and speak.  I'm sought after as a mentor and educator.  I have a genuine connection with each of my children, I listen to them and they are each amazing people.  I can use my gifts to help shape them.  It's OK that my toilet doesn't sparkle.  It's totally fine that I'm not a gourmet cook.  I know what I'm good at, and I know my limitations, and I'm OK with both.  I think that makes me Wonder Woman.

Perfectly Posh Review and Giveaway!

Recently, my friend Jackie started a new business venture with Perfectly Posh.


Posh is a pampering line made from some of the best ingredients on earth. From shea and cocoa butters, to indulgent and nourishing oils.  They are:

• Paraben-free and paraffin-free
• SLS-free
• Gluten-free
• Soy-free
• Using essential oil and fine pthalate-free fragrances
• Natural: Full of butters, oils, and other nourishing ingredients
• Preserved with gentle, effective vitamin E

Perfectly Posh uses tocopherol (vitamin E) as it's primary preservative, and they fragrance with high-quality perfumes and essential oils.


She gave me a tube of The Healer, since I was having some trouble with very dry skin.

I wish that I had taken some pictures, but I didn't (I'm sorry!).  I'll try to paint a picture for you!  My heels were really dry.  They cracked and were so painful that I hated to even try to do a "pedicure" at home.  Think this:

I learned that the deep cracks are called "fissures" - that is disgusting!  I had 3 or 4 on each heel.

I decided to try The Healer on my heels.  When I told Jackie this, she was disturbed surprised.  She uses it as a facial moisturizer!

I love the consistency of The Healer. It is firm in the stick, but almost instantly melts with your body temperature.  It absorbs quickly and doesn't make your skin feel greasy at all.  And it smells amazing.  Perhaps too good.  I have had to hunt it down almost every night!  My kids love it too!

It has worked wonders on my heels.  You can still see the lines where the "fissures" once were, but they are closed!  My heels no longer hurt and I've been much better about using a pumice stone and doing my at-home pedicures (much to my husband's delight - he can't stand "nasty feet"!)

Speaking of my husband - I got the Chuck bar in "Gender Bender" for him for Father's Day.  And, I confess, I've been using it too!  It does a great job of detoxifying the skin without drying it out.  It also is very long-lasting (which makes it a great value!)

I can't wait to try more of Perfectly Posh's products - I've already got a wish list going!  I'm excited that Jackie has agreed to give one of my lucky readers their very own "The Healer" to use!

Walk & Work With Style GIVEAWAY!

Welcome to the Mega Prize Giveaway

Walk & Work With Style

March 1-18, 2012

Sponsored by:

The Amazon Center for Environmental Education and Research

And Hosted by:

Celebrate Woman Today

The Modern Babble

Adventures of A Couponista

The Prizes You will be competing for:

Sony Wi-Fi Camera ~ 2 Winners

Kingston Wi-Drive 32GB ~ 2 Winners

Sports Watches with Rhinestone Bezel ~ 4 Winners

We live in times when comfort and style really matter. That's why we chose to go with the prizes that are very handy for anybody in this busy life. These products will definitely contribute to your work, to your hobby, to your creative projects.

All this is possible with the help of The Amazon Center for Environmental Education and Research. What is it? It is closer to home than you may think. This non-profit Foundation puts forward all its resources into education and active involvement of people like you and I in the conservation of the Rainforest. It does it with workshops, trips to the Peruvian Amazon, connecting educational institutions with each other, and supporting indiginous people.

Do we really care if the Rainforest vanishes from the face of the Earth? You bet. And you'd better be proactive NOW. If all of the Rainforest goes away, we will be experiencing one of those cataclizms like in a horrific movie.

We want to continue to live, and to blog. And blog happily.

Let's celebrate our connections with each other and with Nature.

Let's Walk & Work With Style, while always caring about the interconnectidness of this Universe.

We would love to Thank All These Great Blogs who came through strongly with their support for this occassion. Our applause to each and every one of you:
