Nesting, stocking up, and building inventory

I must admit that August is my least favorite month of the year, especially here in Florida. It is too hot, humid, and we are officially into the rainy; I mean hurricane season. It rains a little just about every day. But our dry grasses and trees do need the rain! So, I'm staying inside, keeping cool, and making as much new jewelry as I can for the fall show season. I tend to get a little intense about not having enough in stock for all I plan to do. I have 2 shows booked so far that I know I've gotten accepted to. I will add my show schedule to my blog soon. Plus stocking the local shops that I have jewelry in, and keeping my Etsy shop stocked.
This coming weekend I will be going to a local bead show to stock up on supplies, findings, new beads, and gemstones. I want to get some labradorite gemstones. A new favorite of mine. Plus, some customers of my Etsy supply shop have requested a few items that I might be able to get. You'll find me shopping at Down the Street bead show in Tampa next weekend.
I am so excited about a new style of earrings I just made yesterday. Sorry, no photos until tomorrow or Monday. I think these will be among my favorite items that I've made. Check back for that.
Also, I've decided to have a "Sunday Special" in my Etsy jewelry shop. You'll have to stop by my Etsy shop tomorrow to find out about that. And did I mention that I'm offering free shipping all month long?

Post July 4th workout and update

I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .

January 2015 Nature Box subscription picks

I tried some new snacks in this months box, so get ready for some chocolate! ~dutch cocoa sun-crunch These are cocoa flavored sunflower and sesame seed clusters. Medium strength taste wise on the chocolate, but I love the saltiness of the sun-crunch itself. 6 grams of protein per serving; that's pretty good too! ~dark cocoa almonds~ If you like dark chocolate, you'll love these! 4 grams of protein on these per serving. ~dark chocolate berry trail mix Out of the other trail mixes that I've tried from Naturebox , this one is my favorite. It's a good mix of dried fruits and nuts, including cranberries and cherries, cashews and pistachios, plus tiny chips of dark chocolate that gives it that flavor punch. 4 grams of protein ~flax fortune coins~ Taste just like flattened fortune cookies with the added benefit of flax seeds. Flax seeds are full of omega-3's, and are said to be good for helping reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes

Classic Wisdom for the Professional Life edited by Bryan Curtis

What a great book of inspirational quotes by many famous people. This is a compilation of pages and pages of wisdom from authors, presidents, sports figures, entrepreneurs, cultural leaders, and the like. I really enjoyed reading this book. The quotes are not just inspirational to professional people in the business world, but also, they grasp the sense of good values, and positive traits that all persons should strive for in their lives. Some of the quotes make you think and ponder over them. The book is presented in a non-descriptive cover, subtle, yet attractive. It is an easy read, not overly stuffed with nonsense, or too much content. You could read a page a day for inspiration, or daily meditation. It is not a biblical book at all, in my opinion, just great reading. I would definitely recommend this book to all who wish to aspire to a greater level of success, whether it is in a business situation, or not. This would make a great gift book as well. Maybe a coffee table book even.
