My Latest Venture

I can't believe I have not written about this yet. Well wait a minute, yes, yes I can believe that I have not written about it yet. As if I didn't have enough going on in my life with working full time while undertaking the task of watching a one year old, I decided to add something else to my plate.

I have decided to start my own biz with the company Stella and Dot. It is a jewelry company if you have never heard of it. It started like this:

Back when I was about 4 months preggers and my mom was in town visiting me, we were shopping or I guess you could say looking confused at Babys R Us. While confused, a girl, who had an 8 month old at the time, offered to help us with our indecisiveness. She was GREAT and so helpful. We were very appreciative and we both thought what a nice girl she was! She gave me her card as she was doing a little bit of photography on the side. Her name was Lisa Beich (pronounced Bike). So that was that.

Well fast forward about a year and a half and my sister in law invites me to a neighbor's jewelry party. I thought, what the heck? That might be fun. So I go and I see a card on the catalogs and it says Lisa Beich. Sure enough, my friend from Baby's R Us was selling Stella and Dot Jewelry. We had a fun reunion over jewelry and I even offered to host a trunk show for her. Well, after the show, I couldn't stop thinking about the jewelry, about the opportunity, and about how much fun it could be....a little wine, hanging out with girls and a little extra cash? Not to mention I LOVE the jewelry! And, I have always been intrigued by such businesses, but what sold me on this one was that there is no LONG presentation...but just a shopping experience and also, the jewelry is shipped directly to the customer, rather than the hostess having to deliver everything!

So I contacted Lisa and asked her a BUNCH of questions and lo and behold I am now a Stella and Dot Independent Stylist. I am SOOOO excited about this new opportunity. While I am still working full time, I was itching for something that would help me get a little more of a social life. It's hard not leaving your house all day sometimes. I realize I am lucky to be home with the little one, but a little time out is good too! So anyways, I got signed up and actually hosted my first trunk show while in Atlanta over Memorial Day weekend. It was soo much fun. I have since had my first party here in Houston, and it went good as well. So far so good. I still have a lot to learn, but I am very enthusiastic and eager to get this going!
