I think it can be very intimidating to be in a room much less work with all males. For years, wars were waged over equality. I love that we have come so far in fighting for equal rights. But equal rights doesn't always equate to equality in all areas of the workplace. It's International Women's Day today. A day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. Check out their Facebook Page. A wise woman said YEARS ago something that rings so tru

The word "smart" can be so relative, but fairly represents the core ingredients and principles in this company and its products. (Check out "What's in this smart stuff") RevitalU will soon be a name you know and respect if you don't all ready. In there first year they have reached a billion in revenue but that is unmatched with the amount of lives they've changed and cash they have given away! CEO Andy McWilliams has been doing it DAILY on Facebook Live for week's on end! All

While everyone was planning their happily ever after and white picket fences, I was planning how I would conquer the corporate world. My focus was on business. Maybe I was just more confident in that than I ever felt I could be as a mom. But just as I was ramping up "my life" as I planned it, it all changed. Not just for the first time. With a "probably won't get pregnant" combo of a Thyroid Disease and PCOS I wasn't overly concerned about contraceptive but actively took a bo

It can be hard to hustle on the side let alone running a full blown business. You have to be the accountant, the marketer and everything in between. While it's important to arm yourselves with professionals to help you truly succeed, these are some apps that I swear by to keep me organized and professionalMint It's the ONE place all your accounts can be viewed together. Checking, Mortgage, Credit Cards, literally everything. You can set up budgets (with alerts), categorize tr

It's hard to set aside "leisure time" but I am a firm believer in personal development. I am a lifetime learner. I get inspired by people and their stories. Without consistent progress in this area, we tend to get complacent. I know I do. So I try to make a habit of at least one book a month. I'm a HUGE fan of audible because it's so much more accessible to me and easier for me to complete a book. I swear my kids get an alert every time I sit down with a book. So I listen whi

When I was younger, believe it or not, my favorite thing to "play" was a business owner. The business always changed but the thought of being in charge of something that I was passionate about was so appealing to me. This opportunity was not intentional for me. It was what we call a "kitnapper". I just wanted a good deal on makeup and wanted to buy mine at a discount. All the things it was giving me before I even dove full in, changed my mind. This was something I wanted to

This is the LAST day that you get to save 70% off an amazing skincare of eye makeup kit, PLUS have an opportunity to build a business or just enjoy your makeup at a discount. I choose for the makeup first. But when I learned it also came with an opportunity, I could resist. 1) I got more time with my kids AND I got paid for it! When I started with Younique, I didn't intend on making it a business. I wanted to save money on quality makeup. But after a few weeks of simply shari

Now I'm sure you are probably thinking "what do these have to do with each other?". See I'm always evolving, always trying new things, always wanting to learn and grow. Interestingly enough though, ALL of them have to do with connecting to people and connecting them to each other. I have a huge heart for people and as a marketer, a mom, a makeup girl, fitness instructor, and now DJ, I seek to entertain, engage, inspire, and inform. I have recently accepted a position as a wee

It's another episode of #TellItLikeItIsTuesday and on a topic I've been thinking quite a bit about as I explore some "unlikable" things about leadership I've encountered recently. As I'm going through this parenting journey there are some crazy moments where I want to pull out my hair, run, scream, hide, and then in almost the same breathe, I'm amazed at all it teaches me about life. Here are 6 lessons I've learned from parenting that have helped shape my leadership style. 1.

We all want to hear just the good things. We all want to here there is something for nothing. Well first off, there's not. Everything takes something. Everything takes an investment of some sort, whether it be time, money, mental power or whatever it may be. But listen in on a little secret. I'm going to make it real easy for you. It's 5 reasons why you shouldn't be a Younique presenter. (But if you want to, read until the end) 1) You don't like free makeup. FIRST, they give
