Still here behind the curtain...

Hi.

I am still here behind the curtain...doing many things. It's still crazy on my side and my husband is still a little traveler (out of town as we speak), so things get busy...but I still plug away ;) at my little online frivolities...I take frivolity very seriously...there is nothing silly about the pleasures that enhance our lives. :)

I am not saying the TDC or my Internet marketing/biz's are frivolous in any way, but I mean, to me, being I am not currently generating any income or lifestyle from it, I am just "learning" and enjoying what I am learning and trying things out and taking note, and the like.

The TDC is going on as I type (http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com) and I did not do it again right after completing the first one. I was too drained. If I had a sort of sane life with some free time, I would have done it in a heartbeat! It is fun and even more so: educational!

Again, just because so far I have not made any money, do not let that discourage you as I had NOT put in the effort and techniques (not totally) as they describe/teach in the TDC. I have done SOME...and THAT little bit works! So, can you imagine doing ALL of them? You'll have some success!

I just checked my old TDC sites (listed on the right sidebar if you wish to stop by them) as I have NOT updated ANY content nor checked on them. They are actually doing pretty darn good from how I set them up back then (and I didn't do all the techniques due to lack of time). I was so pleased to see that and when I get the opportunity, I will go back and try to apply more "TDC Web 2.0" techniques!

Meanwhile, I was researching starting a small home biz selling things I love (why sell something you are not passionate about if you don't have to?). I would love to start an WAHM (work at home mom) small online business that I could also take "offline" and sell the products at trade shows, fairs, boutiques and the like on weekends...perhaps even set up a little "store booth" at a local antique mall and pay their monthly fee.

So, researching the products is consuming. I want to sell something that is fantastic in quality and service. Service is just as important to me. I want it all. (haha) :P

Then, I still have to apply for my "legalities"...tax permits, reseller stuff, etc. (And, will I go solo to start OR start up an LLC right away? What names will I use for my DBA or will I use DBA's? (Doing Business As))....so, there's a lot going on behind the scenes besides being mom to four active kids who always need a ride to and from school and sporting events...a toddler...a yappy dog (lol, sorry Babyboo!)...and trying to sell our home (keep it immaculate "model home" looking with four kids is pressure! lol)...etc. I am determined to do this because it would be fun, satisfying and enjoyable to me. I thought it would be a fun thing to do as a family as well.

Right now, I am an independent distributor for some products I am passionate about (I won't sign up as a distributor if I am not "wowed" by the product, use it myself and love it, and adore the customer service)...and eventually will also add them into my offline and online independent business (offering them with my other products I'll be purchasing at wholesale). I'll list my sites here that I distribute at and enjoy...please stop by and take a peek. Also, if you are interested in making money at home with a small business as an independent distributor for any of these, let me know (you can contact me via the sites)...I'd be more than happy to work with you and sponser you in!

Things I love about this mineral makeup (NOT all are the same!):
* No fillers or talc
* No cornstarch or Bismuth
* No chemicals
* No parabens
* No petroleum, oils or dyes
* No preservatives
* No required auto shipments
* No animal testing
* No animal by products other than humane removal of hair for brushes
* GREAT natural minerals
* Fast PRIORITY shipping
* Superior customer service
* Affordable prices
* Large variety of products
* Eco friendly company

I was always a liquid foundation person until a couple of months ago when a girlfriend, who looked so natural and beautiful and healthy-faced, told me she used mineral makeup (and how all are not the same-some use fillers,etc.). I decided to try it but didn't think it'd be for me...I figured you HAD to have great looking flawless skin to pull it off...boy, was I wrong! It is FANTASTIC and I fell immediately passionately in love with the stuff! (haha) No makeup lines, no leaky makeup when you sweat when active, it is so light and you feel the difference big time...you feel "real" and not like you have anything on! It is so strange! Yet, it covers so well (who knew?!). Anyhow, I am sold. And, I am such a big skeptic...so you might want to look into mineral makeup (look at my line) and TRY it...because I think you'll be so grateful you did, too! You will never look better nor feel better! Your skin will thank you!

Plus, have you read the article about China now giving LEAD POISONING in our lipsticks and more? Scary! Mineral Makeup is NATURAL (ours are!) made ONLY from a few ingredients from the earth!!

And, so far, that's a little of what I have been doing...trying to get my small business research and legalities done...and then I also started to be a distributor for those two products as well. I'll let you know when I am up and going!! :)

I also applied what I learned in TDC to those two sites of mine above and have not had the chance to do everything they mentioned --- but you can be sure I will!! :)

I'll keep you posted on how that goes, too!

How are you doing??

Have you done the Thirty Day Challenge TDC 30DC??? If so, let me know how it went and what you are doing with what you learned now. I'd be interested to know!

Best wishes!!

Cheers!!

Kelly :)
