Why in the world would you own a business?
My whole life this is what I have always wanted to own my own business.
Why I really don’t know it was just what was in my heart. So I followed.
When you do your market research, your business plans and everything else you need to do. You read all of the material and as much as they say ‘There are little to no rewards in the beginning’ you say ‘That’s OK, I know and that’s fine’.
Then you open and it feels like FINALLY! We’re here.
Reality: NO YOU ARE NOT!
You haven’t even started. The fun starts here!
Now you have to make sales, marketing, networking, promotions, accounting, and orders blah blah blah.
So the excitement and adrenalin soon becomes stress, fatigue, exhaustion. The smile lines turn into frown lines because you know what ‘There are little to no rewards in the beginning’
The time, dedication, consistency, motivation and the passion it takes consumes you. It’s what you live it’s what you breathe! It’s the first thing you think about in the morning and last thing you about at night and if that’s not enough
YOU WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THINK ABOUT IT!
Then something happens “BOOM” your light bulb moment!
It’s not what is on the other side, it’s about the journey.
So you STOP!
You realise that your job will never be done. There will always be something that needs improving, fixing or updating. You and your business is constantly evolving and YOU need to enjoy the process and trust the process and know that everything that has gone wrong and right has brought you here to this very moment right here and right now.
When you realise that from the bottom of your heart this is what you live and breathe for.
I didn’t do this to make money I do it because I LOVE IT. I do it because it is my mission to make women feel good about themselves everyday.
Why? Because we deserve too! If we feel good then our partners, our kids, our family and our colleagues feel good too and we can enjoy the journey together.
So to answer my question Why am I in Business?
Because I LOVE to make women feel good and I want to make as many women as possible feel good. That’s why!

One Life, One Chance!
YEKKK! That’s a bit scary when you think of your life like that!
Are you happy?
Everyone is so busy, so time poor and I really can’t remember lives ever being this crazy can you?
STOP!
How can we start enjoying life? Here’s a tip…
• Think about what makes you feel good?
• Take ½ an hour every week give yourself a mini facial- scrub & mask.
• Then give yourself an entire body scrub (it’s the largest organ of our body we HAVE to look after it & we can’t replace it!)
• Jump in the shower was your hair and put a treatment in it.
That’s all really easy to do isn’t it? I promise you, you’ll feel better and you’re looking after yourself.
Here’s what you can do everyday to put a bit of pepper in our step…
• Get your wardrobe sorted and throw out anything you haven’t worn in a year. Make sure you have shapes to complement your body now.
• If you have big boobs DO NOT hide them you’ll just look like you have a big fat sausage lying across your chest! V necks are best suited for you and nothing that’s too big, fluffy or frilly. Keep it simple! WEAR ensure you have separation, lift, shape, comfort and support, make sure it’s bra that will make you feel good, sexy, elegant, cute, pretty whatever look you like!
• Wear matching Knickers (try it you’ll be surprised what I difference it makes)
• Get fresh air and/or take 5 minutes just to eyes your eyes and breathe deeply.
Smile and laugh (a good belly laugh should do it!)

Online Lingerie Wears Well in Economic Downturn
Sales of lingerie are proving relatively resilient during the downturn, with sales of more risqué products holding up well.
While overall retail sales, excluding online and grocery shopping, are expected to drop by 4 per cent in 2009, the lingerie market will decline by 0.8 per cent, according to data by Verdict Research.
Bra Queen predicts further growth in 2009.
She said that as couples stay at home, rather than going out, to save money, more women were tending to invest in sexy apparel to add spice to their relationships.
She said: "It makes women feel good about them selves and we all need a bit of cheering up at the moment."
Ann Summers, a lingerie retailer with 134 stores, has also reported its recent growth to people spending more time at home.
In a trading statement in February, it said it had broken all of its sales records around Valentine's Day.
In the week to February 15, sales rose 14 per cent on a like-for-like basis and internet sales rose 47 per cent. As people are opting to go online to by lingerie without the intimidation of the sales staff, males and females are thinking alike. With detailed information on sizing that is available on the net it is much easier to purchase online.
Elsewhere in the A to C Cup sector, the lingerie market is still challenging due to ferocious competition and pressure from discount retailers. However there is still a huge gap in the market when it comes to catering for the larger cup sizes.

Substance or Lack Of?
Do you Love Substance or Lack Substance?
I’m walking this morning with my 2 girls in the pram as I do 5 times a week and I see the lolly pop man and he said “Haven’t you worn out those tires yet?” & I said “No but I’ve worn the tread of my runners!”
That got me thinking this-
I have had both the same amount of time nearly 3 years
I walk 5km 5 times a week. I LOVE my pram thank you Valco Runabout! You serve me well!
My runners yes are nearing the end but again served me well thank you Asics!
My favorite bra 3 years & like my pram still going strong. Lift tick, shape tick, comfort tick, support tick, sex appeal tick! Thank you you serve me well.
I am a true believer in quality & substance @ an affordable price!
Just because something is expensive doesn’t mean it’s the best. It’s about what is best for you and your lifestyle.
