Self-Care Sunday


Of the authentic variety, not the bubble bath version. Authentic self-care is a concept I have been working on embracing for the past year or so. Build a life you do not wish or need to escape. The bubble bath variety has merit, but selfcare via bath bombs and pedicures is at best a bandaid or a pacifier. As someone with many little vanilla responsibilities I value bandaids and pacifiers greatly. But also, one should learn to avoid things that cut them and one should plan for how they meet their needs so as not to frequently require a distraction from the discomfort of an unmet one.

It is a grey, wet, slightly chilly Sunday. I loved every word in that sentence. Mondays are my favorite, you know that already, but Sundays are pretty cool too. Fridays and Saturdays are more challenging to enjoy. Enjoying the end of a week for me is tied tightly to whether I feel like the week went in the direction I wished it to go, the direction I worked for it to go. Sunday anything is possible, there is just a little pressure to plan with foresight. Anything is possible, so let's choose the best of the possibilities.
I pen my schedule on Sundays, I do this after I consider my goals for the week. This week's goals includes re-committing to writing here. There is a second post scheduled for Wednesday. We'll see how that works. Slave alan and I have been playing the ball is in your court now with a couple ideas that we can't seem to find a moment to fully flesh out. They're cool ideas though, hold your breath and watch for them. I think they'll come together soon.

I continue to love broadcasting with Streamates: Follow Me Here I very much want to bend my schedule until I can fit 20 hours of live broadcasts a week, best I can do so far is nine. I will be camming Sunday, Wednesday and Friday evenings from 10pm til 1am EST. I may get there earlier some days. There may be bonus broadcasts some days. Follow my platforms below so you don't miss those. Sun, Wed and Fri are set in stone until further notice.

Private sessions, online and in person, are available on Monday, and  Tuesday this week. That schedule is not set in stone, that only applies this week. Wednesday day is all about the new project Jeunesse . Do you see that picture? Forty-six and 11/12ths. Yep, mostly that is the DNA fairy dealing me a very nice hand, and my avoidance of vices stronger than insomnia, caffeine and nicotine. I see a glow and sparkle that wasn't there two months ago though. I tap on Instantly Ageless, and I watch my laugh lines erase themselves. I haven't lied about my age since I was 15, and I have no intention of ever doing so again. I am all about owning my experience and my endurance, but I am also all about doing so while looking hotter than the sun and feeling healthier than I have in a decade or more.  I picked up an extra box of this tube of immortality to share, ask nicely and perhaps I'll hook you up. Thursday I will be completely unavailable to you unless you carry my DNA. About two months ago I declared that there would be a mandatory vanilla day every week. I kept with this plan for about 3 weeks. Then work picked up, I was submerged in I love my job energy and next thing I knew 3 weeks had gone by. This week, Thursday will be mandatory vanilla day.

There is one more thing. Do I announce it now or wait until it is fully fleshed out? Hmm, have you ever known me to wait until I thing is finished to announce it? Have you ever known me to exhibit self-control and patience? Ready? Ask nicely...Princess Gemini and I will be collaborating together again! We have a couple things on the drawing board. There is the vanilla thing you've seen me leak teasers about if you know me in the vanilla world. That launches this week, I mean it this time. I have said it here now, it must be true. The other projects are not as far along. They're not nearly as far along as Gemmi who's all, Cassidy I am growing a whole human being, my plate is full. And I'm all, here's your unicycle.

Who Knew Mornings Looked Like This?


Since April 28th I have taken a photo every morning for my top. I am not a morning person. I have never, ever, under any circumstance, been a morning person. I often stay up all night and I see the sunrise from that angle. I can't recall a time I saw it after waking up. 
I started working out a few times a week on that date too. It was suppose to be daily. I wasn't very good at keeping to that request. My argument went something like: I am incredibly active, I get at least 25 minutes of aerobic activity a day, I've been a 2 pack a day smoker for 30 years and btw there are only 24 hours in a day.
On July 24th an awful thing happened. Remember I asked you to respect my privacy on that one. I am still holding you to that request. I am only referring back to it so I might say, on July 25th I decided I had to again make dramatic changes to how I do things. 
That happens. There is a yin-yang tattoo on the back of my neck, balance.  Balance isn't a static thing. It is not this and that being equal at all times. It is this grows, so that shirks. This expands and that must contract. It is this approach worked for all this time, but time has moved forward and so must you. 
One of the first things I had to address was my finances. I don't wish to overshare on my blog. Stop laughing. Showing my breasts is not oversharing, that's just playful teasing. Sharing my bank statements, that's oversharing. Those that know me know the circumstances that returned me to Virginia, and those that do not, well you probably don't need to know. My finances did not, that could be the complete statement right there. My finances did not. I entertained a couple of ideas. They all would have ended with sacrificing one or the other of the two things I feel most passionately about. Everyone reading knows what one of those is, right? I am not ready to retire. Some of you know what the other is, I am not asking that corner of my world to make another sacrifice ever again.

A very good friend of mine had talked to me a couple of times about the company they were investing their time in, and I revisited the idea with them. And I went in circles with the idea for a little bit. I have done direct sales before. I am pretty sure I promoted Avon on this blog for a little while, remember? I love Avon. I have a package of Skin So Soft wipes in my purse right now, and another in my glove box. And, I bet the other 6 Avon Ladies that live in my complex do too. I support my friends who work in direct sales. Because when it comes down to it, it is a form of business ownership that is within the reach of most people's budgets. I love Athena's toys, and when I am in the mood for a new battery powered partner, I need to check my notes to remember which of my Goddess friends I ordered from last time.  This company is brand new to the US market, my upline is part of the team bringing it to the US. I love Jamberry Nails, but when I want to change the color on my toes, I don't want to bust out my hair dryer. Jeunesse is health and wellness, there are no gimmicks in any of our lines. Wait, that may be the conflict I can't get past there. Health and wellness. Anyone who has eaten at my table has been subjected to a lecture on denatured proteins that happen when cereal is created using high heat extrusion to create puffs, flakes & special shapes. Anyone who has eaten at my table has likely been fed tomato sauce that was canned in my kitchen from tomatoes grown in my garden, seasoned with basil from my window box. My credibility on a subject I am passionate about can not be bought with an all expenses paid trip to Orlando. Even if I am put up in a suite at the Hyatt Regency on the 14th floor with a breathtaking view, an oversized bathtub and treated like a princess. Thankfully, it can be leased.  The science behind our skincare line is cutting edge. The nutritional composition of our supplements is based on a sound research.  And if you can't just take my word for it, because a woman who looks like me can't possibly also understand complex studies, or advanced scientific theories, I'll just smile and send you the links. 

I started taking Jeunesse AM & PM supplements the last week of July. Since then I have added several other products to my routine, but those were what I opted to try first.
Every day since August 1st I have worked out for a half hour within the first hour I am awake. 
One of the ethical standards hammered home in the training through Jeunesse is full disclosure. No trick lighting, no claims of curing illness, if other things factored into the results your presenting- state them. So in the name of full disclosure, on August 7th I began taking Wellbutrin to assist with the next thing I am going to state. 
On August 9th, which for the record was fifty-four days ago, I quit smoking.  
That's a photo I sent to my top maybe a week ago. It was around 9:30 in the morning. I had worked out already. I had meditated. Breakfast soup was simmering. Cassidy's Castle had been tidied up. Showering, supplements, medicine and day make-up were all checked off my To Do List. I don't think I had had my caffeine yet. I may have, and I don't want to fib. But um, ya, kind of look a little like a morning person.  I look like I am happy about it too. This is what every morning looks like now. 

And yes, I do want to grow my team. Why wouldn't I? This has been an amazing journey for me already and I know it's only going to grow from here. So go check out my site and shoot me a text. Because I haven't said anything about the travel opportunities or the philanthropy arm of the company, Jeunesse Kids, yet.  I haven't said anything about my upline and how much I have learned from them already. I suppose I implied how well the products work, but I haven't shown ya the video of wrinkles erasing themselves. 

Next entry, I promise I won't make you wait a month again for the next entry, we'll get back to indulging all you little voyeurs.
