I struggle with loss. Most do. I often ask for sig I struggle with loss. Most do. I often ask for signs that those that have left us give us a sign they are with us. Today Rob had this delivered. A moment frozen in time with my lil angel. She had just had her pacemaker inserted and we were having a recheck. Like a champ she posed with Momma. She was 8 here and one of my favorite moments.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A constant reminder she is with us! Our hero! Our lil girl and missed everyday!  Thank you my love @rob_gluckin 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A piece of mind that she is never far from us!
DELIVERY!!!!! In the middle of the thought, “I j DELIVERY!!!!! In the middle of the thought, “I just want to stay in bed today”. It’s been a rough 7 days. Kalie and then some life issues right when you least expect them. 💕🥺⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Timing is a funny thing right? A doorbell rings as if to say, get yo ass outta bed, your friends love you!” A @farmgirlowers delivery is sure to push you outta of any funk lol. As i bawled uncontrollably........ok pull it together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Time & choices that’s all we got! Read that aga Time & choices that’s all we got! 
Read that again!
Stop waisting the most valuable things in the world on fear, toxic people, comparing, standing still, blame, jealousy, ego and hating change. Why look back & ask why you stood still? Why look back and ask why did I deal with bad behavior? 
This week I have had a chance to reflect and see that thanks for quarantine I got to spend the entire year with Kalie 🐶. I sighed thinking I love to travel but I love being home for the first time in 20 years. 

We wonder why things aren’t timed right for us? Marriage, kids, moving, jobs and it’s often because of our choices. You see we often choose others before ourselves or we do nothing because of fear.  And then we look back and try to blame someone. We were learning and growing and that’s OK but learn now that every choice moving forward when it comes to your time takes you to a place of no regrets and with people that fill your bucket as much as you fill theirs. 

Dream!

Take Risks!
No Excuses!

Choose YOU!💕
COFFEE BAR! BEVERAGE AREA!!! I can’t drink hot c COFFEE BAR! BEVERAGE AREA!!! I can’t drink hot coffee anymore but I love 💕 creating the perfect beverage area every season. Here is where I create my cold brew creations or my shakes or a weekend glass of wine.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Ready to see?
The crazinest story. Yesterday the vet left with K The crazinest story. Yesterday the vet left with Kalie’s lifeless body. I laid on her bed and sobbed uncontrollably. The other pups surrounded me and licked my tears.  In those moments, you think “she’s a dog. Why does my heart feel like it’s being cut out of my body?” You wonder if you made the right choice.  You wonder if she would rather be with us. I could hear Rob crying as he walked through the house. The front door opened and shut.

He came in my office and handed me this pink box. It was my first @pupmomcrate ❤️ My tears landed on the box and the timing just reconfirmed I am a Mommy. I love and take care of and cry just like a normal mommy. They depend on me. They love me unconditionally. 

I didn’t open the box until this morning tears again uncontrollably and I immediately cancelled my Fab Fit Fun box. The Pup Mom Crate is packaged with care and love. It made my heart just feel warm & cozy. It is something for them and me and a reminder for me always I am a Mommy and the sadness I feel IS normal.🐶🐶🐶

The other pups haven’t left Kalie’s bed today 🥺 They keep smelling and looking up at me like, “where is she?” Time for some pup mom crate treats for Mommy and babies to make things a little bit better for a minute.

I will share on stories what is inside and you can grab your own with code JILLEYSUE & get 15% off. 
Thank you @pupmomcrate it’s perfect!
There’s a hole in this house. I woke up thinking There’s a hole in this house. I woke up thinking, “phew thank goodness this was a dream.” Unfortunately my brain cleared and the over whelming emotion of my partner in crime not here. 😢
Kalie was here before the iPhone. This first photo was her at 4 months old. She has been by my side through 10 moves, her dad passing away, starting multiple businesses, many emotional breakdowns and so much more. She was my constant. Tough as nails. A pacemaker at 8, Cushings disease at 9, a plate in her knee at 10, torn ACL at 15. She never ever cried or complained. She bee bopped around this house wagging her tail, smiling totally independent yet demanded cuddles at night lol.
She was as strong as my Memere. She represented a reminder to make due with your circumstances no matter what. She was a tiny little peanut yet even put our Great Dane in his place.

My heart is broken. I feel less strong without her here. Hundreds of messages from all of you that I appreciate more than you know.

In the last few months she seemed so stressed because of her eyesight and cowered when I pet her unless I held her tight. She looked so comfy and finally relaxed when the doctor gave her that first sedative that instead of at peace with my decision, I felt horrible that she had probably been so stressed. 😢 

I love you little girl. I know you can see now and you are running and wagging that tail but my heart aches without you here. 💔💔 my first sleep without you and just know this home will never be the same with out you here guiding us every day.  I hope you know how much we loved & adored every minute with you. ❤️💔😢🐶
Our puppies are our children! They are our emotion Our puppies are our children! They are our emotional support, & truly our best friends and they know when we are not OK.  Mani is my little man. He has followed me around the last 6 days. Laid with me and Kalie at night. Got up with me every single time and licked my tears. He’s exhausted from being up all night. But so crazy how they know something is wrong. 😢

It’s always so hard to make the right choice, to know when the time is right, to be the strong 💪🏻 one. To love unselfishly and let them go. You want to fight for them & be their voice but you never know any them to suffer.
I got Kalie, 18 years and 2 months ago. She has been the ruler of the house for that entire time. She had a pace maker put in 10 years ago, she had a plate in her knee put in 2 years after that. Never has cried or wined.  She has marched on with any ailment or issue. So independent, so strong, such a hero showing our entire house that you keep on going.

I know she has led a great life. I know I have to be her voice but it never makes goodbyes anymore easier. She has been my rock. She has been with me through some of my hardest times and I hope she knows how much she is loved and has made me a better person. A dog yes but more than a dog.....my constant, my reason to fight, my unconditional love 💕 and my life has been better with more laughs and smiles and lessons with her in it.  Our last hours tonight will be filled with extreme sadness and she will be missed more than I can ever express. We love you Kalie! 💕
New Year??? Maybe should start the 2nd week of Jan New Year??? Maybe should start the 2nd week of January lol. The first week should be holiday decor down and Purge week! Anyone agree? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel like every room needs to be blown out clean with a fire hose and when i sit at my desk I’m lost. (Shaking head) This morning....I did tackle my digital mess. Deleted hundreds of texts messages, emails, unsubscribed to 100 emails, cleaned out photos and screenshots. ok I’m insane with the screen shots lolol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This waking up around 6 every day easily is awesome. I get 1-3 hours of just group and phone catch up. Post planning. Deleting notifications. It’s also kind of relaxing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This week, I have appointments every day. Dog groomers today so another good hour to clean up my phone and plan my posts. Side note: Remember your Instagram posts are what grow yourself account. Stories build your community so don’t skip a day and use hashtags. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So......I rule for the New Year to start next week. Everyone Ok with that? 🤣 Clean up your phones every day for 30 minutes this week. Clean slate even digitally!
ROSE! PINK! GOLD! DO YOU LOVE GLAM COLORS!? Its no ROSE! PINK! GOLD! DO YOU LOVE GLAM COLORS!? Its not just any pink...its that perfect "I am a business owner and I determine my success with my mind, body & spirit" kind of pink.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love love love Christmas but I was soooooo excited to put out this new warmer and do a cozy, girlboss, babe cave sitting room complete with blush pillows and hearts hehe. Lucky for me, he doesn't care what I do in any area of the house and by March, we'll be on to Easter/Spring. Plus this warmer comes in GOLD & SILVER! Soooooo yup.. need those too haha. Sooo pretty! So glam and the perfect accent to any office, living room or babe cave. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The fragrance of the day...PINK COTTON! It smells sooo good. And at night...look at those little light castings. This room is sooooo cozy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Leopard, Rose Gold, pink, Whites, Letterboards. I mean when I go back and look at my branding boards on Pinterest...I am still spot on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have colors that speak to you too? What ones make you happy?
Things in order is everything to me. This room was Things in order is everything to me. This room was a dumping ground during the holidays. Random crap piled up on this desk and all the way around it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fact: when you don’t have a place for everything, you have too much stuff & normally a person can feel it. Things feel heavy, bogged down, unproductive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday I jumped up & Purged my linen closet, my pantry, my recipe book & supplement cabinet and my office. Those 4 areas felt sooooooo stressful to me, I didn’t even document it and on Instagram. I thought, I have got to get these areas in order in order to function. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I put my phone down and made those 4 spaces the goal. Mission accomplished and I will certainly show⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tips:  You only need 2 sets of sheets for the each bedroom. Why are you keeping 5 with 100 mismatched pillow cases. Items you haven’t used in a year can go. Why do you need every momentum to feel accomplished? Clear the clutter. Do you need 100 recipe books. Keep your 5 top 5 and use the internet! If your pantry is piled sky high and you can’t see anything, no one will ever attempt to use what’s in there. No one needs 10 boxes of pasta. Allow everything to be seen so you can grab what you need.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then the office junk drawers and piles of paper will keep you unproductive. Unhealthy hoarding of office supplies, why? Get rid of the “stuff” that serves no purpose. Rotate memories each year, don’t keep items from the day you started. Make this space a place that feels light, airy and a place you can sit down at any given moment to get your tip 5 tasks done. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Office tour coming up.....as soon as I purge the closet. 😆 That one,  closet monster is back which means yup I have too much stuff. Easy rule to follow! Everything should have a home. If it doesn’t.........well time to rethink if you actually need and use it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What 4 places feel the most crazy to you in your home?
Well goodbye Christmas! Peace out 2020! It looked Well goodbye Christmas! Peace out 2020! It looked like this on New Years and yesterday I spent most of the day tearing it down. I know a lot of people have everything down by now but traveling ..... I am behind. Well I thought I was until Rob said. “I know last year you had it all up until the middle of January.” So now I’m actually feeling like I’m ahead of schedule LOL. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And get this I have even unpacked all my suitcases already, which usually sit in my room in a corner for over a week LOL. So so far I feel like I’m doing quite well in 2021.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I will share and stories how I tear everything down. I already have it all piled up and then I get all the bins out, line them up and start organizing as far as what goes on each been bin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All of the trees are in one corner of the living room. All the small ones will go in bins, and all the tall ones will be boxed up and .......I promised myself this year that I will make those bins much more organized and labeled so that next year is much easier to put up! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It feels so good to take it all down this year. Clean slate and ready for the next holiday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is yours all down? Is it organized? And last question.....should I continued on my holiday tree tradition? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lots of organizing coming up!

50 INSTAGRAM CONTENT IDEAS

Instagram Tips

1. SHARE YOUR MORNING ROUTINE

How do you choose to start your day? Share it with people. Yes, this is something they actually like to know. Is it preparing your coffee? Is it taking your morning supplements? Is it sitting outside writing in your gratitude journal? Show your people how you get your day started.

2. WHAT DO YOU LOVE?

Share what you love. Do you love to ride your Peloton? Do you take a walk every day? Do you love to organize or clean? Do you love to craft? Do you like to zoom with your friends?

3. YOUR SERVICE

This is where you want to share your passion in your job. How do you help people? How do you roll out the red carpet? How do you make your customers feel special?

4. DAILY HAPPENINGS

Regardless of what you are doing throughout the day, share it. People are watching. Yes they want to see you shampoo your puppy. They want to see you get groceries from Insta-cart. They want to see you create a graphic. Use stories as a way to document your day no matter what it is. Show up!

5. PRODUCTS

It doesn’t always have to be something you sell, in fact it should’t be. Influence us. What products have you found that you love? Do you have a skin care product you love? What protein to you take? What tools do you use for your business? Share what you love, why you love it and tell me where can I get it?

6. HELPFUL TIPS

If you have a great or easy way of doing something, share it! Give me all your tips. There is tons of things I have no clue how to do and you do. Share them with me. I want to see how you create your happy mail? Tell me how you organize your office? Share with me how you fall asleep fast or organize your documents? I might be on Instagram but I don’t know all the things. All of you do.

7. POST CONTENT

This is one of the best ways to send traffic to you. Did you upload a You Tube video? Share it. Did you do a blog post? Share it! Did you do a podcast? Let me know sister, I wanna listen. Share a piece of what you talked about and get people curious.

8. UPDATES

We are nosey by nature. Yes we want to know what you know or what’s happening. That is why we lurk around Instagram. Is something happening? Do you have an event or vacation coming up? Fill us in.

9. ALL ABOUT THE LOCALS

Highlight where you go and local favorites. I constantly share with my followers my favorite places, hotels I love, blow out salons and restaurants. You want local business. In turn they will highlight you. This is an awesome way to promote connections.

10. QUOTES

I mean this is easy. Find a quote, talk about it. Recreate it. Post it. There are a million ways for you to share sayings and quotes. You will find lots of these on my Instagram account. Check it out.

11. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

This is where people get a little intimidated. Its hard to share things you are going thru but fact is when we go thru something, we grow. I thought long and hard about my journey and issues with breast implant illness and whether or not I should share it. But fact is what you learn on your journey is always something that can benefit someone. Some of you maybe private and that is OK. Just keep the details basic and tell your audience to feel free to DM you for the more in depth questions. When you share things that can benefit your audience, you can build authenticity and trust.

12. CURRENT EVENTS

Now my advice on this way is to stay away from topics that can just cause back lash but definitely touch on things to show how you are taking part or what you are doing.

13. NATIONAL DAY OF CELEBRATION

We live in world where we celebrate EVERYTHING and personal I love it! Whether it is national donuts day, nation pets day, or even self care day, there is a day you can share some fun and a smile. Find reasons to make people smile!

14. STRUGGLES

Now this takes balance. You don’t want to get on Instagram and be the whoa is me girl. People don’t want to follow someone who always has something wrong or victim mentality but you definitely can touch on things that you are struggling with. Everyone is going thru something. Make is something you can learn from and help others learn too.

15. WHERE ARE YOU ONLINE?

Where else can people find and connect with you? Do you have everything else set up? Here is a list to help you get started there too.

16. PROMOTIONS/LAUNCHES

Do you have a new product or service happening soon? Maybe a new website, a new you tube video? Build up the excitement for what is happening next. I love to do a countdown when I am traveling or when we are launching something new. People love to get excited and countdown with you. Get people engaged in what is going on with you.

17. BEHIND THE SCENES 

Show the process of what you do through out the day. People truly love it. Whether you are doing happy mail, mailing a package, doing coaching calls, working out, changing wax or redecorating a room, its always fun to see how you do your thing during the day.

18. PRODUCT SHOWCASE

Instagram is perfect for those products you love. Show off why you love what you do. Style things just so to give people ideas or event try flat lays. Really take a minute to decide what you are going to do when you show products. It will be worth it and people will keep coming back to check out your ideas.

19. YOUR TRAVELS

This is one of my favorites. Whether I travel with Scentsy or we jump in the car for a Florida staycation, I love to bring my Instagram peeps with me. People love adventures and you can get some great insight on where to go in certain areas.

20. SHARING OTHER PEOPLE’S WORK

Most Direct Sellers stick with their family but you need to network online. When you tag your favorites or share other businesses, you have the chance to share with their followers as well. Did you love a recent video or Instagram story. Share the love, tag them and give them a shout out.

21. STEPS OF YOUR PROCESS

Don’t believe that everything you do is common. Show people what you do and how you do it. It is usually believable the interest you will receive in common things we do that people would love to learn.

22. EVENTS YOU’RE APART OF

Have you attended any recent business events, networking events, or fun outings? Share where you’re going and what you’re up to. And don’t forget to add your location. People want to know where you are that is helping you have so much fun.

23. LIFESTYLE PHOTOS

These are candid shots of every day life. They can match your brand or just be scenes of your day to day life.

24. FASHION LOOKS

From t shirts and Leggings to dressing up to a night out on the town. Show us!

25. MUSIC YOU’RE LOVING

Share some lyrics or a snapshot of your favorite song that week. I often do a #songoftheweek when I’m running errands. It’s a fun departure to the normal every day.

26. PODCASTS YOU’RE LISTENING TO

This is my absolute favorite. I am always listening to something that can help me learn to be better. Share what you’re listening to and how it’s helping you in the everyday. People are always looking for great podcasts to listen to.

27. ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED

Do you have a mentor, trainer or friend who has given you some good advice. Share something that has helped you. No on likes someone who never gives credit to someone else. I mean let’s be real, we all learn what we know with someone, so share that.

28. A QUIET PLACE

Where do you go to feel calm & relaxed? Do you go for a walk? Do you have a she-shed? Do you sit by the pool or out in the yard? Share the space or moments when you feel most inspired.

29. TRENDS IN YOUR INDUSTRY

Are there trends in your industry that you know about? Things that everyone is hopping on board. Share it with your people. You can even share the trends that maybe they should steer clear of.

30. YOUR WHY

34. YOUR PETS

Yup show us all the furbabies. Show us them playing, sleeping, eating. We want a front row seat to the puppy and kitty show. I mean not every single day but we definitely love the animals.

35. THE OFFICE SPACE

We want to see where you are making the magic happen. From the kitchen table to the spot in the basement to the office all your own. Seeing those spots gives us inspiration for what is possible.

36. DECOR

Do you how people decorate? People love they see how to make a space look cozy. Show us.

37. INFLUENCERS

40. PLANNING SESSION

Are you working on something that is taking up a lot your time? Are you doing a video for home office, creating a new system, planning a retreat? Show us, we wanna see.

41. CLIENT OR CUSTOMER GIFTS OR PROJECTS

This is one of the best tools for marketing. Showing your work in a non-salesy way is showing things you’re working on with your clients or customers and how you’re helping them achieve a goal or making their world better.

42. MEMORIES

I love when memories pop up. Share with your followers where you were last year or how far you have come. Its amazing to stroll down memory lane.

47. AN VISION BOARD

We love to see everyone else’s visions. Its inspiring and can give others tons of ideas.

48. SELF IMAGES, PHOTOS OR SELFIES

Now, what I mean by this,  is sharing a photo of yourself, not necessarily always a selfie. But a professional, or nice looking photo, and share about yourself. It gives your audience the chance to get to know you better and learn something new about you.

49. MILESTONES

Have you reached something significant in your business? I’ve seen so many people share really cool ways of their achievements, such as a certain number of followers they’ve reached or a launch success. Share your wins!

50. STYLED & EDITED PHOTOS

It takes time to create an Instagram that makes people want to come back to it. Some people style everything, some people edit everything. Show us the process for getting your photos and stories just right. Trust me, people want that information.

    The crazinest story. Yesterday the vet left with K The crazinest story. Yesterday the vet left with Kalie’s lifeless body. I laid on her bed and sobbed uncontrollably. The other pups surrounded me and licked my tears.  In those moments, you think “she’s a dog. Why does my heart feel like it’s being cut out of my body?” You wonder if you made the right choice.

    There’s a hole in this house. I woke up thinking There’s a hole in this house. I woke up thinking, “phew thank goodness this was a dream.” Unfortunately my brain cleared and the over whelming emotion of my partner in crime not here. 😢
Kalie was here before the iPhone. This first photo was her at 4 months old. She has been by my side through 10 moves, her dad passing away, starting multiple businesses, many emotional breakdowns and so much more. She was my constant. Tough as nails. A pacemaker at 8, Cushings disease at 9, a plate in her knee at 10, torn ACL at 15. She never ever cried or complained. She bee bopped around this house wagging her tail, smiling totally independent yet demanded cuddles at night lol.
She was as strong as my Memere. She represented a reminder to make due with your circumstances no matter what. She was a tiny little peanut yet even put our Great Dane in his place.

My heart is broken. I feel less strong without her here. Hundreds of messages from all of you that I appreciate more than you know.

In the last few months she seemed so stressed because of her eyesight and cowered when I pet her unless I held her tight. She looked so comfy and finally relaxed when the doctor gave her that first sedative that instead of at peace with my decision, I felt horrible that she had probably been so stressed. 😢 

I love you little girl. I know you can see now and you are running and wagging that tail but my heart aches without you here. 💔💔 my first sleep without you and just know this home will never be the same with out you here guiding us every day.  I hope you know how much we loved & adored every minute with you. ❤️💔😢🐶
    Our puppies are our children! They are our emotion Our puppies are our children! They are our emotional support, & truly our best friends and they know when we are not OK.  Mani is my little man. He has followed me around the last 6 days. Laid with me and Kalie at night. Got up with me every single time and licked my tears. He’s exhausted from being up all night. But so crazy how they know something is wrong. 😢

It’s always so hard to make the right choice, to know when the time is right, to be the strong 💪🏻 one. To love unselfishly and let them go. You want to fight for them & be their voice but you never know any them to suffer.
I got Kalie, 18 years and 2 months ago. She has been the ruler of the house for that entire time. She had a pace maker put in 10 years ago, she had a plate in her knee put in 2 years after that. Never has cried or wined.  She has marched on with any ailment or issue. So independent, so strong, such a hero showing our entire house that you keep on going.

I know she has led a great life. I know I have to be her voice but it never makes goodbyes anymore easier. She has been my rock. She has been with me through some of my hardest times and I hope she knows how much she is loved and has made me a better person. A dog yes but more than a dog.....my constant, my reason to fight, my unconditional love 💕 and my life has been better with more laughs and smiles and lessons with her in it.  Our last hours tonight will be filled with extreme sadness and she will be missed more than I can ever express. We love you Kalie! 💕
    New Year??? Maybe should start the 2nd week of Jan New Year??? Maybe should start the 2nd week of January lol. The first week should be holiday decor down and Purge week! Anyone agree? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I feel like every room needs to be blown out clean with a fire hose and when i sit at my desk I’m lost. (Shaking head) This morning....I did tackle my digital mess. Deleted hundreds of texts messages, emails, unsubscribed to 100 emails, cleaned out photos and screenshots. ok I’m insane with the screen shots lolol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This waking up around 6 every day easily is awesome. I get 1-3 hours of just group and phone catch up. Post planning. Deleting notifications. It’s also kind of relaxing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This week, I have appointments every day. Dog groomers today so another good hour to clean up my phone and plan my posts. Side note: Remember your Instagram posts are what grow yourself account. Stories build your community so don’t skip a day and use hashtags. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So......I rule for the New Year to start next week. Everyone Ok with that? 🤣 Clean up your phones every day for 30 minutes this week. Clean slate even digitally!
    ROSE! PINK! GOLD! DO YOU LOVE GLAM COLORS!? Its no ROSE! PINK! GOLD! DO YOU LOVE GLAM COLORS!? Its not just any pink...its that perfect "I am a business owner and I determine my success with my mind, body & spirit" kind of pink.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love love love Christmas but I was soooooo excited to put out this new warmer and do a cozy, girlboss, babe cave sitting room complete with blush pillows and hearts hehe. Lucky for me, he doesn't care what I do in any area of the house and by March, we'll be on to Easter/Spring. Plus this warmer comes in GOLD & SILVER! Soooooo yup.. need those too haha. Sooo pretty! So glam and the perfect accent to any office, living room or babe cave. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The fragrance of the day...PINK COTTON! It smells sooo good. And at night...look at those little light castings. This room is sooooo cozy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Leopard, Rose Gold, pink, Whites, Letterboards. I mean when I go back and look at my branding boards on Pinterest...I am still spot on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have colors that speak to you too? What ones make you happy?
    Things in order is everything to me. This room was Things in order is everything to me. This room was a dumping ground during the holidays. Random crap piled up on this desk and all the way around it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fact: when you don’t have a place for everything, you have too much stuff & normally a person can feel it. Things feel heavy, bogged down, unproductive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday I jumped up & Purged my linen closet, my pantry, my recipe book & supplement cabinet and my office. Those 4 areas felt sooooooo stressful to me, I didn’t even document it and on Instagram. I thought, I have got to get these areas in order in order to function. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I put my phone down and made those 4 spaces the goal. Mission accomplished and I will certainly show⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tips:  You only need 2 sets of sheets for the each bedroom. Why are you keeping 5 with 100 mismatched pillow cases. Items you haven’t used in a year can go. Why do you need every momentum to feel accomplished? Clear the clutter. Do you need 100 recipe books. Keep your 5 top 5 and use the internet! If your pantry is piled sky high and you can’t see anything, no one will ever attempt to use what’s in there. No one needs 10 boxes of pasta. Allow everything to be seen so you can grab what you need.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then the office junk drawers and piles of paper will keep you unproductive. Unhealthy hoarding of office supplies, why? Get rid of the “stuff” that serves no purpose. Rotate memories each year, don’t keep items from the day you started. Make this space a place that feels light, airy and a place you can sit down at any given moment to get your tip 5 tasks done. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Office tour coming up.....as soon as I purge the closet. 😆 That one,  closet monster is back which means yup I have too much stuff. Easy rule to follow! Everything should have a home. If it doesn’t.........well time to rethink if you actually need and use it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What 4 places feel the most crazy to you in your home?
    Well goodbye Christmas! Peace out 2020! It looked Well goodbye Christmas! Peace out 2020! It looked like this on New Years and yesterday I spent most of the day tearing it down. I know a lot of people have everything down by now but traveling ..... I am behind. Well I thought I was until Rob said. “I know last year you had it all up until the middle of January.” So now I’m actually feeling like I’m ahead of schedule LOL. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And get this I have even unpacked all my suitcases already, which usually sit in my room in a corner for over a week LOL. So so far I feel like I’m doing quite well in 2021.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I will share and stories how I tear everything down. I already have it all piled up and then I get all the bins out, line them up and start organizing as far as what goes on each been bin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All of the trees are in one corner of the living room. All the small ones will go in bins, and all the tall ones will be boxed up and .......I promised myself this year that I will make those bins much more organized and labeled so that next year is much easier to put up! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It feels so good to take it all down this year. Clean slate and ready for the next holiday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is yours all down? Is it organized? And last question.....should I continued on my holiday tree tradition? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lots of organizing coming up!
