NOT a book review

Goodness... I just looked at my blog and realized like every post for the past almost six months has been a book review...  I really DO more than just read, but who has the time for blogging nowadays? Some do, I know! Just not me, evidently... But I shall try. If there's anyone out there that still reads this. :)

What have I been up to? my #1 job is this little (but growing fast) girl!
She's sooo much fun and learning so much! She loves her books, music, play phones and Baby Signing time. She loves people! So much fun to go to the store because she loves to say "HI!" to everyone we meet... several times! ;) How is it even possible that 17 months has passed already? She is an amazing girl! But yes.... she does keep me quite busy. If she is awake, she is moving. ;)

My second (naptime) job is my business! I love my work as a Lilla Rose Independent Consultant! Mostly I do what I can during naptimes (or occasionally after kiddo is in bed.) I don't have huge requirements to keep my consultant status and if I have a very busy time, my job will be right where I left it. And it's such an amazing product that it sells itself! I did my first vendor event last week with my mom and a young friend (she was our hair model!). We had a lot of fun and got to introduce Lilla Rose to our community. :)

A third thing that is happening is, quite frankly, something that ISN'T. We are still. in. our. apartment. sigh... We ARE very blessed! We live in an older, but VERY well maintained complex with an excellent staff! (Our little one loves going to the office to say hi! And they have known her since she was born!) ;) But apartment living is just that. Apartment living. We have neighbors above us with pets - very sweet neighbors - but it is still close quarters. We're not so much "looking" for a house as we are "waiting" for a house. We are ready in every way to buy our long term home, but our home has yet to open up. I know God is working things out in His perfect timing, but sometimes it's hard to wait - especially when you don't see anything happening... But we keep trusting and praying for His will for our little family.

Ah... what else? VBS planning, helping mom with her recital last week, gearing up to plan my sister's wedding... EEEK!!! my baby sister is engaged!!! So happy for her! ;) And many, other things that just keep happening. I reckon you'd just call it life! :) So yes... I do something besides read books...

A New Venture - My Lilla Rose Story

Two days before our little Joy was born was the last day I worked at my old job. I was a part time librarian at a local church library and loved it! Then I got a new job!! I'm a full time mommy!! It's an amazing job with lots of perks! I get to spend time with a darling little girl and watch her grow! But although I save money being at home, I don't make much money. ;) I had been considering for a while the thought of becoming a consultant for some company. I wasn't quite sure yet what I wanted to do, but just something to bring in a little income and be able to work at my own pace (and during nap times!) Enter Lilla Rose!


Before I continue my story... what is Lilla Rose? Lilla Rose is a company that makes beautiful hair products! These products are very versatile, strong and come in so many sizes to suit your particular hair type and style. They are even more lovely in person than in the pictures! :)The "Flexi Clip" is their main product. It comes in the sizes below:

The wire part of the Flexi is made of strong music wire and the attached pin is a very heavy duty metal. These beauties are strong! They hold the hair very snugly and are super comfortable!

Back to my story... I've had a medium clip for a couple of years. A gift from a friend. I wore it a bit, but not a whole lot. Then this spring I bought one for a friend... she has thick heavy hair and could only wear her hair half up in a little claw clip or in a very loose braid - anything else gave her a headache. I gave her a Flexi for her birthday and she has fallen in love! It is beautiful in her long dark hair!! She is so happy to now have something pretty that works (and has since bought another!) :)

Her excitement got me to thinking about the company a little more and about maybe selling them myself. A few months later (no, I'm not a quick thinker...) at the end of July, I signed up. Becoming a consultant for Lilla Rose is very affordable!! I got my consultant kit in the mail a few days later. The kit comes with five flexis all different sizes, starting with the mini through the large. When I started using the large my hairstyle options expanded! I love it! It really shows the importance of having the right size for what hairstyle you wear the most often. I still want to get an extra large to go over a bun - my go to hairstyle. This is my favorite way to wear my large and it holds all day! (I do put a pin in the bottom to keep the braid loop from flopping, but the flexi is what truly holds my hair.)


Since starting out, I have been learning more and more about the company. The more I learn, the more excited I get! This really is an amazing company to be a consultant for! As a full time mommy and housewife, I don't know what a month will hold. With Lilla Rose, I don't have to meet a certain quota every month. In fact, the requirements to staying active are very achievable! The company has amazing customer service and I have been able to get acquainted with some wonderful ladies who are also consultants!

And here's the deal... I genuinely love these products and this company. What I have said above has not been fed to me by some training in saying the right thing to get people to buy... I am not a pushy person. Some may think the product is expensive. Yes, I understand that! (we are saving to buy a house... no extra $$ floating around here!) But I think of these as quality products worth the investment!! They are very durable and come with a great guarantee!

I am currently having my Grand Opening party!! For many of my local friends, I am having an in home party next week. (I'd have it in my own home, but unfortunately an apartment doesn't have much space... Thankfully my parents are most gracious to allow me to use their home!) If you are interested in the clips, I'd love to be your Lilla Rose consultant!! Please let me answer any questions you might have! As for the size you need, there is a video in the bottom right corner of my party link. Come have a look around!
