Lovin that Herbalife!

So I started the health product Herbalife about a year ago. Mallory introduced me to it. I've been off and on it for this whole year and I've seen some results. The shakes are amazing! But then I decided to do it on a more regular basis.
I've noticed such a huge difference the last 4 months! I don't feel bloated, I feel healthy and energized! I've also lost some body fat and some lbs. I also used it for my triathlon. I really don't think I could have made it through my Triathlon without the products. They really are amazing, and delicious.

Since Mal and I love the products so much we've decided to become distributors (Much like Mary-Kay). Mal and I were invited by our friend Meredith (who introduced us to Herbalife) to go to a huge training in Denver. We took the opportunity and went. It was very informative and got me very excited to promote the products. Down below is us at the training meeting. There was about 40 people there (maybe more). It was a lot of fun.
So this evening Mal and I had our first HOM (Herbalife Opportunity Meeting) with some potential business partners or distributors. I think it went well and I'm really excited for people just to know about the product and realize how amazing it really is. I'll keep updating on the progress of our business. :-)

Summer Projects

So a couple weeks ago Mallory and I had our last cake decorating class for Level I. We finished our final project in the classroom. It was kind of difficult because the room was so warm that it melted our frosting! That makes it hard to work with. But our final projects turned out pretty ok.
This is my cake.....
I took it to NorthShore and it just so happened to be my boss's birthday (I didn't know), and he thought I had made it for him for his Birthday! HA! So I went along with it. Pink? He asked. I played it off as "I thought it was your color." jokingly of course. But everyone LOVED the cake. I'm excited to do more cakes.
So now Mal and I have started Level II of our cake decorating class. We're working with Fondant and learning how to make all sorts of flowers. Our first class we made pansies. This last class we learned how to make roses, apple blossoms and pin roses. I think they turned out pretty good. It's really fun to learn.

Cake decorating is one of my summer projects I have going on. Another one I'm working on is creating a CSU quilt. After graduation, I gathered up all of my CSU shirts (CSU work shirts and Senate shirts included) and decided that I wanted to make a memory quilt out of all of them. With the help of my dear "adopted family" Kylie Metz and Pola Metz, I get to make the memory quilt a reality. So far we've just cut out squares and picked out fabrics. I think it will be fun. I'll make sure to document my progress.










I'm trying to keep myself busy so finding new projects and learning new skills will be a great new way to discover myself this summer!
