Something Sweet....For Your Sweetie!!

Every now and then you come across something so great, something so neat, something unbelievable!!! I found it yesterday!!

As we all know, it was Easter Sunday but for me it was also my birthday and one of the gifts I got was just the yummiest gift I have ever gotten!!

I'm not sure if you have ever heard of the Candy Club, I hadn't apart from yesterday. Let me just say, if you are a candy freak like me or know someone who is? This really is the perfect gift! 

How does Candy Club Work??

Let me tell you a bit more about the company. The Candy Club is out of California, has a 4.1-star review on Google and they have three different subscription options to choose from. I'll explain those in just a minute. What I like about the company is the wide variety of candy. Lots of new flavors, fun shapes, and something for everyone young or old. 

I can't even begin to tell you all the amazing different choices you have. The only downside I have found is the Taste Quiz you have to take to find your flavor profile. What if I am a sweet and sour kinda person? I think the quiz could be useful if you are buying for someone else but for me personally, I'd really like to be able to customize my kit. There are so many of these candies that I want to try!! 

To list all the different varieties of candies you have to choose, would take forever but I did go through and listed some of my favorites. 

Oh Baby Fruity Flavored Pacifiers
Grape Gummy Bears
Mini Sour Apple Slices
Sour Lips
Gummy Techno Bears
Strawberry Banana Bears

What great names, huh? I'm sure they are all delicious! You or your special someone will get three different containers, all full of delicious, hand-picked candies. My family knows me very well. So mine was full of sour, fruity goodness!!! 

The option you can choose from are 1 month, 3month , or 12month..for those that need super treat, treatment!! LOL!! They do auto-renew, so be careful and make sure to go into your account and cancel that before the new subscription starts again. 

Their prices are very reasonable and range from $27.99, $22.99, to $19.99. Of course giving you a price break when you order the 12-month plan. Which is nice! :) So out the door for a one-month subscription is $34.98 and that includes the $6.99 for shipping. All packages have a $60 dollar value and is sprinkled with other loose candy when you open the box. I had salt water taffy in mine and that was a really cool treat! I haven't had it in forever!! 

I definitely recommend the Candy Club for any special occasion. Who doesn't love to get customized candy boxes, with their favorite candies? Birthdays, Baby Showers, Anniversaries, Graduations, or just because...my personal favorite!!

So..What's My Story Really?

Do you ever ask yourself that? Who am I? Why am I the way I am? How'd I get here in this place in life? 

I do!! All the Time, and with my birthday 15 days away..I've been thinking about it a bit more. So I'm going to tell you my story. Hoping to in some way inspire you to find who you are and seeing your journey. We all have one and I love nothing more than to hear other people's testimonies. They just tickle me and inspire me to keep going when I don't feel like trying anymore. 

This is always something very difficult for me. I hate talking about myself or answering those dreaded Bio descriptions. So..describe yourself? Ahh..let's see I like cats and collecting rocks! I can never really get any more in-depth than that. For this, I wanted to really dig deep, get personal and share some of my life with you. 

I grew up, born and raised in Washington State. "Washington my home"...you know the song! I loved growing up there except for the dreadful raining cold weather. Being an only child was hard at times but I have always been good at finding ways to entertain myself. As a young kid, I was always in church and my parents can tell you countless stories about how I'd pray for anyone and walk up to grandmas at grocery stores and adopt them as my own. One of my favorites was when I was about maybe two or three and I stood on the church chair when everyone was praying in tongues and with my little fists in the air, pumping up and down, saying "Be Bah, Be Bah". My way of praying along I guess but looking back now and knowing more. I think I was secretly trying to tell them something!! 

I broke my finger in the big church doors there as well. Still have the wicked scar on my ring finger. My mom knew the minute she heard me scream it was me that was hurt. You know that as a Mom, we all know our kids scream when they are really hurt. I was hurting so bad that night, couldn't sleep. She prayed for me and the next day I woke her up bending it in her face, saying "look Mama..it's healed." 

I've always had a belief in God but have struggled along the way like anyone trying to walk that path. It's not easy and you make unwise choices. As a middle aged kid, I was good. Grew up riding horses. Had a farm with goats, dogs, cats and one time a rat, and a few lizards. I ran with my dogs, playing dog can't touch in the pastures and truly enjoyed life and what was ahead. 

As I got older, I fought some personal battles of self-esteem, weight issues, and drug additions. Feeling good about myself has never been something that comes easy for me. I pick myself apart. I know all my flaws. I've fought with depression and anxiety, suicide..you name it. I still have down days that are more difficult but with God's help, I can get through it. That's been the only thing that has gotten me through it. I trust him for everything, talk to him about everything. Always praying, always asking, always seeking but that's me. I have been that way from the time I was a kid. 

I truly enjoy helping others in any way I can. I want you to do well. If you have no one in your life that will stand by you, I will. I will encourage you and cheer about your triumphs! Tell me! I so love, love a good story or an amazing testimony. Let me cheer for you!! :)

21 I became a Mama and it changed my life. It gave me a purpose. A mission in life to raise this little girl up with a love for God and a heart for people. A few years later I had her sister. They are both just an amazing blessing. Every day I am so very thankful I was chosen to be their Mom. Incredibly funny, I'm always laughing so hard when I'm with them. Their hearts for each other is so strong and it makes me so proud of who they are becoming. I'm honored to be their Mom. 

Relationships have always been very hard and I tend to get into abusive ones. Their Dad and I have had more bad days than I can say and I'm so disappointed in myself for allowing that, even a tiny bit. I try to take it one step at a time. I have faith in God and know that we all have a plan for our lives. I know He is directing my steps and can see his hand even in the bad times. 

Looking back now I see certain things a different way. Like, as a kid it was easier for me to just stuff my feelings and not deal with them. Until that ugly moment in life when they raise their heads again. Don't do that, be honest. Even if that means it may hurt someone. Do it gentle but be honest! I've learned more about myself that ever and still learning every day. 

Still I struggle with how I deal with my feelings, who is the real me? and every other crazy thing I can think of. It's a mess up there! 

I know one thing, I love people. I love seeing others do well, hearing their stories of how they came from this and now are here. I could get much more personal about myself but truly that would be a book with all my outlandish stories. So I'll just say this, I've been there! Chances are good, I have walked that walk and if I haven't? I'm still doing to try to do my best to understand and show compassion. I don't believe your past has to dictate what you become. Yes, it's hard. Yes, it's painful and Yes, God is the only thing that got me through that. Still does. 

Life is hard, He said it would be. Stay faithful. Be an overcomer, and don't give up. I'm here to talk to or share stories with. Like I said I love hearing from people and knowing what God is doing in their lives. So don't be shy! I look forward to meeting you and thanks for letting me share more about my life with you. 

Praying for you always!

Oh my!! What have I done now! **UPDATED 3/18

Most of my friends on Facebook have at least, at one time sent me an invite to one of those online parties. I normally always go and try to support them never thinking it could benefit me in any way. 

Well, I changed my mind. I need something new in my life, change is good they say. So, I've decided to step out and if I fail...so be it! 

I am very skeptical of work at home opportunities, things with big promises and little return but I have so many friends now that are successful, I feel a little left out. For me, it just seemed too good to be true. 

Last night I bit the bullet and paid the $99 for my new presenter kit. I have to say I am excited about getting it and seeing what all the fuss is about. Hearing about it from all these ladies has made me even more curious. I love makeup like the next gal! 

So, I'm a newbie and nervous about my new adventure. It does sound doable and with lots of dedication..I'm hoping for success. 

Anyone willing to join me? I hate starting new things by myself. I need  a buddy!! I truly think the best part for me is even if it doesn't work, I got almost $200 in makeup for $99 bucks and that is a screaming deal. Just sayin'!! 

If you are up for the challenge like I was? I will post my links and regular updates on how it's going. I'll also post an update when the kit arrives and we can go through it together. :0
