Show notes

Has your business taken a hit from COVID-19 ? Today, we have Christy Wright from Business Boutique and Ramsey Solutions back on the show! If you missed her last episode you can check her out on episode 93. I wanted to have her back to share with us some business ideas to help during this time-frame. Christy tells us to think short term, she doesn't normally recommend that but we have never experienced this before so things are different. She said we can't be thinking about 2022, she wants you to just keep your lights on! She mentions that you might need to get creative, do something right now that will help you keep the doors open and it doesn't need to be for forever. One thing that stood out to me is when she said that fear can be loud and that we need to assess our situation and look at the facts and not let fear take over. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast. Please share with your friends, my goal is to get these episodes into as many moms's ears as possible!

If you enjoyed this episode make sure to check out the whole series, click here to listen: Melissa Sharpe- COVID-19 Rachel Cruze- COVID-19 Laura Smith - COVID-19 "My Favorite Things" Segment: This is what I use on a daily and weekly basis, its a company called Remeverse, they are a local company here in Franklin TN. The reasons I love their stuff is because they are oil free, paraben free, PEG free, contains no dyes or fragrance. So it's a very clean feeling when you are using their products and I really just love that. Sulfate free cleanser Sulfate Free Foaming Cleanser and not only does it cleans it tones and exfoliates in one product. So it keeps it super simple by using one product to do 3 things. Because we all know as moms who has time to do an hour routine daily! Night Nourishing Creme I will say I use this day and night because I need more moisture. So if you are a person who doesn't need that I would recommend the Day Creme. But for me, I can get away with using Night both day and night. There is also an Advance Creme which I did use at the beginning, but it's too much for me to use all the time, but some people may really need that for cold winters and if their skin gets really dry. Why I love this stuff is for one, it doesn't have a smell, and what it does is it helps improves skin texture, promotes natural levels of collagen, reduces the appearance of dark circles under the eyes and continually hydrates by attracting and retaining moisture. Miracle Mask The next item I use is more on a weekly basis not daily but I wanted to mention it and let me tell you I will forget to use this and when I go back to use it, I am like why did I stop using this because it makes my skin feel and look amazing... So this product is called the Miracle Mask by Remeverse and this mask helps reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. You only need to leave it on your face and neck for 15 minutes and you will see a difference right away. I even did it this weekend so that I could talk about it on this show, and the next day getting ready for church my skin seemed more radiant and firm. The best part about Remeverse is they offer a 60-day, 100% money back guarantee of this product. If you aren't completely satisfied with your RemeVerse results, return any unused portion within 60 days of purchase date and they will refund your purchase 100% (less shipping charges).

Show notes

Are you feeling a bit stressed or worried with money right now? Today, we have Rachel Cruze back on the show! I had her on the show before on episode 100 where we talk about loving your life not theirs and it was so great. Make sure to check that out after this episode! So, I wanted to have her back on during this time frame because I know people have lost their jobs, or have had to take a pay cut, or just concerned that they may lose their job. So she shares with us what to do if you have lost your job. She doesn't want you to blow through your emergency fund, she wants you to find another source of income if you can and go on unemployment to help not eat up your savings. I asked her what should people do if they are paying down credit card debt but lost their job. She also shared with us, that if you don't have 3-6 months emergency fund and currently are investing into your retirement that you need to pause that. She also wants everyone to leave their retirement alone, don't touch it, it's there for the long haul and we need to ride it out! One topic that stood out to me is when Rachel shared with us what we need to do with our stimulus check. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast.

Today we will be talking about storage and the cost that comes with storing a lot of things in our homes. Stephanie challenges us to think about how much money we paying to store stuff in our house, how much of our mortgage are we spending to just store stuff? I thought that was such a great way to think about that. Something I want to encourage you guys on is to think about what you are storing, if you had to pay for that space is that what you would want to be spending your money on in order to hold on those things?

Stephanie shares with us her tricks that help her on a daily basis to stay on top of things and not forget what is important. She talks about if we have too much stuff, our systems can be inundated and so that is why its key to simplify our homes. I even ask her if she has a junk drawer and how to best manage it? One topic that I wanted to pick her brain on is keeping the fridge organized!

Simplifying Series-Kids Stuff: Stephanie Sikora: 178 Mar 10, 2020

Show notes

Do you feel overwhelmed with all the kid stuff? Today we have Stephanie Sikora back on the show for part 2 of our simplifying series! Today we will be chatting all about kids stuff and how we can start minimizing the clutter. Some of the topics that I wanted to talk to Stephanie about were school photos, family photos and portraits that might be large and what in the world are we doing with them when we don't want them on the walls anymore. Stephanie walks us through how she handles this issue with her clients and challenges us to really think about our purchases. People are getting these huge photos and then storing them in their basesment where no one can see them. So let's be more intentional with what we bring into our space and how to manage it. What do we do when Christmas and birthdays come around and we are bringing in a lot of stuff, do we get rid of stuff before they get more stuff. What to do with our kids clothes, do we donate, sell, or giveaway? One interesting topic is selling clothes and how it can then become another project that we push off. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast. Did you miss last week's episode of our Simplifying Series, where Stephanie and I talk about managing paper?

The smell reminds me of Doublemint gum so even just opening up the roller it smells good and can help feeling nauseous. This would be great too if you struggle with morning sickness. Perfect for flying too, throw in your purse and you are good to go! On- Guard Roller I love using this on both the girls and myself when it's Flu season.
