Say Cheese! Sargento Ultra Thin To Be Exact

So awhile back I joined Influenster (if you don't know what that is you can check it out here) I played around with it for a bit & got all my social network sites linked & then just kind of forgot about it for several months, until I got an email saying I had qualified for a voxbox 

(which are pretty much the best things ever & really the whole reason I signed up in the first place). 

I got my very first voxbox from Influenster in the mail for Sargento Ultra Thin cheese. 

I was really excited when this finally came in the mail but I was a bit confused because I knew they weren't shipping cheese to me (that would be gross) but the box was way big for just a coupon.

That's because this awesome cooler bag was in there! 

I get really excited over little things & I am in love with this little cooler bag (which is actually pretty roomy inside) 

I went to the store & used my coupon to get my free Sargento Ultra Thin cheese, I pretty much knew I would like it because I've always been a fan of Sargento but the ultra thin slices are even better! We got Pepper Jack because that's what the hubby wanted but I plan on using my $1 off coupon for some swiss (My fav). Now I'm just trying to learn what I do next with Influenster (lots of follow up stuff but totally worth it for free cheese). I hope I qualify for another voxbox soon because I think I'm hooked on them (& the cheese, which is actually almost gone)

 I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Body By Vi ~ 90 Day Challenge

Hey everyone, if you haven't noticed from my lack of blog posts, I have a bit of trouble staying motivated & that is the case with almost every aspect of my life including weight loss & exercising (& house cleaning & working & laundry... but that's not the point of this post ha) Anyway, I had been thinking about doing the Body By Vi 90 day challenge & I kept putting it off, well I finally made the leap, today is day 1 of my first 90 day challenge & I'm soo excited! To help keep me motivated & held accountable I am making this a public endeavor, so as bad as this is going to be... here is my dreaded before picture...

Yeah... pretty bad, I weigh the most I ever have at 184 pounds (Holy Cow) 

My overall goal is to lose 50 pounds but my goal for this 90 day challenge is a MINIMUM of 10 pounds.

I'm determined to workout every single day, eat healthy & consume my Vi shake everyday.

If you have never tried the Vi shakes they are delicious! 

I seriously look forward to being able to have one everyday.

I will be posting & keeping everyone up to date on my progress, if anybody wants to join the challenge with me you can do so here http://jschaeffer.bodybyvi.com/challenge

I won't make any money by you ordering from my link but if I get a minimum of 3 people who do I will get my shakes for free, & if you decide to join me on the challenge you will get the same opportunity to get your shakes for free to.

Oh & seeing how it is Monday...

My song addiction of the week.

Ta-Da

I did it again, I disappeared & then re-appeared. Ok, I admit, I have got to be the worst blogger of all time! It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged & as usual I’m going to try to get better at keeping up with this, don‘t roll your eyes at me, I mean it this time, I have a plan!  My plan is to pretty much write several months worth of blog posts & then just schedule them  to post on their own &  then I only have to write every few months… ok maybe not, however I do plan on having some pre-written posts set aside so on days when I can’t blog or can’t think of anything to write about I can just pull from my stash, we’ll see how this plan will work but just don't hold your breath, I can't have you passing out on me. 

Since my last blog post I still haven't had a yard sale, my sleeping schedule has gotten worse (can you say vampire), & a new season of Revenge has started! In other news my little brother is going to be a daddy & I'm soo happy & excited for them, & for me cause that means I'm aunt Jordan! :) My husband is now volunteer firefighter & is certified in rapid intervention. I am so proud of him & all his hard work, he is actually at a training class at the fire department as I type this. 

Isn't he a hottie ;)

I got out of Avon due to spending more money than I was making, I still LOVE their products & may re-join one day but the temptation to shop was just more than I could handle.  I'm now working in network marketing for 3 different companies, Instant Rewards, Infinity Downline, & Wake Up Now. I love all 3 companies & I'm loving being able to make money from home. If you want to know more about any of the companies I work for you can go to my website at SubstantialMoney.com.

Speaking of work I suppose I better go get some done :)

I know it's not Monday but I have a lot of "song addictions" to make up for so I leave you with this...

Happies & Crappies

Hey guys, today I'm linking up with Stephanie from Vintage Modern Wife for Happies & Crappies! 

Happies

1. My little brother got engaged & I'm super excited that I'm getting a sister!

2. My husband has tomorrow off! He doesn't get many weekends off so on the rare occasion that he gets a Saturday or a Sunday off we usually have a hard time deciding what to do but I know that no matter what we choose it will be fun & relaxing.

3. I'm almost finished with the website for Boutique 21:21! All I have left is the "About me" section (always the hardest part).

Crappies

1.  This season of Revenge is over & of course the last episode always leaves ya hanging waiting for more.

2. My sleeping schedule has been WAY out of wack, I'm talking not falling asleep till 7am & sleeping till 2 pm, I feel nocturnal & it's gotta stop. 

3. I have been trying to have a yard sale for the past 2 weekends, the weather man had called for storms both last weekend & this weekend so I held off, Last weekend there was no rain till late evening & so far there has been so ran this weekend (I totally could have had a yard sale this morning) oh well, maybe next weekend.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Here I go, I have once again neglected my blog (I'm getting really bad at this). 

On the plus side, I have lots to tell you all about! My last post I told you all about my desire to put my craftiness to work & I did just that. I made a few hanging letters & I also started making flower hair clips to sell in my online boutique.

      

Aren't they pretty? 

After all kinds of searching for ideas & racking my brain I finally came up with a name for my boutique,  I came across Matthew 21:21 

"Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done."  

& Boutique 21:21 was born.

On top of the boutique I have also started selling Avon & Mark. I'm obsessed with their products & I plan on doing some reviews here on my blog. 

In other news, I no longer work at my retail job! (Yay!) 

but I need to get my rear in gear if I want to be able to make it as a full time photographer / Avon & Mark. rep / boutique owner. It's a little scary but also super exciting :)

I've got lots of big plans & maybe from now on I'll be better at keeping you all in the loop. I plan to make blogging part of my daily routine (which I'm working on) so you should be seeing a lot more of me :)

Here I Go Again, Falling Off The Wagon

I have once again let my procrastination get the best of me. I guess we'll just call it an unexpected week off from blogging, the biggest reason is that my lovely little Verizon Jetpack was all out of GB & I'm not a huge fan of the Blogger app. 

Anyway... I went to Hobby Lobby today & decided that I seriously need to start putting my craftiness to work, I've decided to start a facebook page to sell my crafts & refurbished furniture & such, now I just need a name! 

One of the things I'll be making is hanging letters, I don't have one put together yet but here's some of my supplies that I bought today.

  

Oh & I also scored this cute stamp for cheap!

I can't wait to get started.

If you have any name ideas leave them in the comments :)

I Thought It Was Supposed To Be Spring!

It's been snowing outside all day & I'm sitting here freezing my bootay off! What happened to the nice warm weather? 

My husband & I were both supposed to work today but had to call out due to slick roads, I planned on spending my extra time at home cleaning & working out but so far I have sat in front of the computer (procrastination at it's finest). 

I'm all caught up on Chicago Fire (yay!) & can't wait till the next episode! For those of you who are fans of the show I have to say that I'm seriously hoping Severide says yes to Shay! 

Now it's time to get caught up on Revenge! 

It seems like their were a couple things that I thought about throughout the day to blog about & of course I seem to have forgotten them (maybe time to get a notebook?) I suppose if I think of it again I can always write another post.

Now that my hubby has quit hogging the TV (he's a Madden addict) I suppose I will actually go workout now... Zumba here I come!
