Simply Happy

Now that I have my new blog, I have so many things that I wanted to say and never did, so now I can. Woohooo!!

In the beginning of the year, my friend posted her New Year's Resolution and titled it twenty-twelve. I loved her idea - she's pretty much the smartest person alive. Even though we are basically 5 months into the year, the resolution is jus perfect for me, and really anyone. And I got permission to copy her ;)
 
So starting today my resolution for the rest of the year is to be happy. With everything that life throws at us, its hard to forget the little things that make you happy, simply happy. I always think about the future and the what ifs, but whats more important in the present. Right now. And every day should have happiness, even for a lil. So in no particular order, here is my Happy List:

spending time with family & friends
the gospel
blogging
journaling
Facebooking ;)
digi scrapbooking
girls crafts night
having me & Liam time
sister time
visiting ppl
playing around w photoshop
shopping for myself
shopping for others
pedicures & full set manicures
making memories
reading good books
fun exercise - biking, dancing, gym classes, soccer
chocolate ;)
ice-cream
playing soccer

I will make sure I do one thing every day to make me happy, truly happy.

To Scentsy or Not to Scentsy

So for the last four years (maybe 5), I've thought about selling Scentsy. Most of you know what Scentsy is and for those that dont, they are wickless candles. No fire. No danger. Great for kids! being a new mom and all :)

I never joined because I was working full time, occasionally going to school, so I thought I'd overwhelm myself. But now, Im basically unemployed and theres no jobs that interest me cuz I'll be away from my Liam. I have looked at stay at home jobs, but nothin feels right. And with scentsy, I'd be my own boss, decide what I want, and decide what hours and all. 

I really truly love these products. Its definitely something I could sell! And its sooo great, I've heard that it sells itself! They prices are reasonable and totally worth the money. They have also come out with so many great things since I last purchased Scentsy -Im sure they've been out for awhile, I jus nvr noticed :) - scentsy pak, scentsy buddy, and layers fragrances, uh what?!? AND I've heard that they are coming out with a chocolate fondue!! It would be great!! for all sorts of parties!!

So should I join Scentsy?? I pretty much am convincing myself with all the pros I've listed; now I cant think of any cons. LOL!! Here are a few cons I could think of:
Im not a very good public speaker around ppl I dont know. I get really shy and nervous. And this is SALES so I def have to be a go-getter if I wanna make good money! I think its 15% commission of all my total sales so would it even be worth it? All the time & energy for what I bring in? Would it jus be a job on the side? And I would eventually need to find something? And would my friends and family actually buy it?? I dont wanna be a bug-a-boo but this would be my job so its a really good con now that I think of it :)


So should I join Scentsy! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! lemme know your thoughts and if you know someone who sells, is it worth it to them?

Changes

Hey there!

So I decided to start a new blog for the following reason: Bill asked me for a divorce a few days after Liam was born. I was completely heartbroken but then the next day, I was relieved. He had been very cold and distance to me during my pregnancy. My last few months pregnant, he actually stopped saying "I love you." And so, finally he had the guts (or nerve!) to say he wanted a divorce and hasn't been happy for the last 2 years. Frankly, I deserve better. I dont feel like he will change his attitude or feelings toward me, so divorce is really for the best.

It makes me super sad that Liam wont have both parents 24/7 but I know I will find the perfect step daddy for him and husband for me when the time comes. Especially because I am a great catch ;)


Speaking of Liam. He is officially 2 months old!! Ahh! Times has gone by sooo fast. I love my lil guy sooo much. He is honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me. I can't believe how much love I have for him and how much it grows every day. But then again, how can you not love this "Hug Magnet"


So, welcome to Shahny's Notes :)
