It's Halloween!

Yes it is that time again when all the ghosts and goblins and pumpkins and more are out and about.

I love seeing pictures of my friends kids and grandkids all dressed up for this kids holiday.  











I remember when kids were allowed to be kids for this holiday and not worry about being politically correct.  You know like the Peanuts Gang.













Or the cute little furbabies that you can see posing for pictures.




But I also like to see some of the "funnies" 
so I had to share these that I have seen 

Don't hate me for these ...

Hope you have a wonderful day filled with all kinds of fun things and maybe just a few visitors to your door.

Enjoy!

A Limelight Holiday Bonanza!

I hope yall know I love my Tupperware, but you should also know by now that I am in LOVE, yes I said it, in LOVE with my Limelight by Alcone products.



Our skincare line is Leaping Bunny certified so now others can know that it is even more wonderful.  It is 
SKIN CARE that is free of harmful chemicals.
I know that my skin has been so much clearer (yes even at my age you can suffer from breakouts) and softer.  



Our makeup line is a Professional quality that you no longer need to be a Professional Makeup Artist to get.  I love knowing that I am using the same products that Actors and Actresses use in their professional lives ... ie working their craft.  Because lets face it, if it is good enough for them - I should be able to use them too because I am pretty special and so are YOU.

I love the look of the new lip liner colors.  

They are wonderful addition to the Onxy line that has these great lip colors as well as an amazing eye color pallet.  They are bold and beautiful and well just awesome.  I really love the creaminess of these but know that I don't need to worry about them "wearing" off early.  I can't wait to be using mine.





But another great boom for me will be released this week.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE eye shadows.  I guess its because I think that the eyes truly are the windows of the soul, so it is the first place I look and when you can "dress up" the windows it's a definite plus for me.







These colors look outstanding!

And of course the packaging is going to be looking pretty special too.

Now if lips are more your thing ... or if you just like to have special lippy colors too.  There will also be an awesome lip collection just for the holidays.  

It will include 8 of the enduring lip colors (ELC) and 8 of the fabulous glosses in mini!  And of course the packaging will be amazing too!







But if you don't want to have all of these products, even in a mini form, you can get a "tree ornament" that is 1 ELC and 1 gloss.  Or if you have more than 1 special person and want to spread the wealth around, these hangers will be perfect.

Oh and just because they are "minis", don't be fooled, they will last a very very long time!  All of our products are so highly pigmented that a little goes a long long way.

To make it easier for you to grab these products for the holidays I set up a Holiday Party  that I will have open until Nov 17th.

Remember, you can grab these holiday pieces and so much more at this party.  I know there are all kinds of things going on so you could end up with seeing some of these new products today and some on Thursday and maybe more next week ... I'm excited and I hope you will be too.

Snacks for Snow Season

When I first started thinking about holiday get-togethers this winter, I thought about what I can do that is a little different from the norm.

This would definitely be unexpected, but would also be very easy to have ready for any "drop in" visitors.  And you could use this as a base idea and then make it your own, with the things you like.

I can also see these as big hits in your kids lunch boxes, just make sure you won't have any issues with "banned" foods based on your district.

Candy Corn Rice Krispy Treats

I saw these the other day on my Tupperware site, and thought oh me there are going to be some really happy little people out there.  And then I thought all those folks that aren't fans of Candy Corn might like these too ... 

I can see these being a big hit at a Halloween party ... or just for your kids lunches!

• 1 cup marshmallow fluff

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, heat marshmallow, butter and vanilla over medium-low heat until melted and well combined, about 3 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine rice cereal, pour marshmallow mixture over cereal and stir to combine.
3. Divide cereal mixture between 3 large bowls. 
4. Wearing food-safe gloves, mix 2 drops of yellow food coloring by hand into 1 bowl of the cereal; set aside. 
5. Mix 2 drops of yellow and the red food coloring together with another bowl of rice cereal; set aside.
6. Divide the 2½-cup Medium Shallow Rectangular Freeze-It® PLUS container visually into thirds, lengthwise. 
7. Fill each third of the container with each color of the rice cereal mixture, pressing firmly into place, to create a white strip, orange strip and yellow strip.
8. Refrigerate until firm. 
9. Unmold onto a cutting board and cut diagonally into triangles.

Turbulence

Lately I've been doing a lot of Chinese take out (don't judge me) for lunch or dinners.  You know you have a dinner ordered and have at least 1 more meal (hence lunch).  Please tell me I am not the only one that does this.

This is one of the fortunes from a recent fortune cookie.

Turbulence is a life force.

It is an Opportunity.

Let's love Turbulence

and make it the Opportunity 

to make changes. 

I think this one came to be mine at just the right time, for just the right reasons.  

You see, I've been contemplating some changes.

I'm just not sure what that change will be.

You may know that I am an accountant, a CPA.

You should also know that I am in direct sales.

I have a Tupperware account, because I love my Tupperware.

I have a Limelight by Alcone account, because I really like the natural skin care that is Leaping Bunny certified and because I LOVE makeup.  And with the Limelight makeup I am, I think, getting pretty good.

I also have an account with Pruvit.  They do the Keto//OS supplements that are helping me as I try to do a Keto friendly diet.

But my "turbulence" comes from internal sources.

I really love the products.

But I don't know if I am a "sales" person.

Have my sales come from my "selling" or because people want the products and I am "there"?

How do you know when its time to quit?

How do you know which is the right way to go?

Are any of you in direct sales?

How did you know what product was for you?

If you are no longer in direct sales, why did you stop?

Good morning

Let's get this day started ....

What is going on in your life?
What new adventure are you starting this week?

Can you believe it is already the middle of October?
Where did the year go?

I probably should have added this at the beginning of the year, but lets get our thoughts started now.  That way IF you haven't started your adventure already - you could start putting things into place so that you will have everything ready for the new year.

What do you think?
Is it a plan?

Yup that's right it IS Friday ... the 13th

Are you superstitious?

Are you scared yet?

Do you have any "bad" memories of this day?
Share so we can all feel like we can tackle anything ... 'cause obviously you did.
