Stitch Fix Take 6!

Getting into to Fall I wanted a few new items to add to my wardrobe. Here is my 6th Fix. I was super excited thanks to someone who saw my blog about Stitch Fix, they placed an order through my referral link and I got a $25 credit! Shopping from home is so awesome. 

Liffey Button Down Top $58. Loved it BUT it didn't fit-Sent Back

Alan French Terry Asymmetrical Zip Cardigan $68. Unzipped it was fine. Zipped it looked odd on me. Plus a whole in the shoulder- Sent back

Dilley Dress $64. LOVE THIS DRESS! Plus it is Petite too so it fits right. Did I mention I LOVED this dress! -KEEP!!!!

Riva Colorblock Clutch $48. I was in need of a new purse and wanted something smaller so I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled this out. Not the colors I would have chosen but I don't mind being pushed to try new things. -Keep

Dean Skinny Jean $78. Oh My Gosh!!!!! I love these pants. They are super comfortable and they are Petite. If you're someone who struggles to find pants that fit right, you know how it feels to have a pair that feel made for you. -Keep

Stitch Fix Take 5

So here is my 5th Fix. Overall it was good. If I love at lease one item I figure it is worth it. I have averaged 3 items so far.

Alysia Maxi Dress $48. Good price but not a good fit- Sent back.

Daryl Printed Capri Jean $68. Not a good fit and I didn't really like the pattern- Sent back.

Kahlo Embroidered Racerback Tank $38. When I pulled it out I was confused and then excited. I have a 3/4 tea that is the exact same and is one of may favorite shirts. Of course I had to keep this one.

Gena Cut Out Detail Top $48. Really liked this top. Simple and fun I can wear out and about or dress up- keep.

Amari Printed Dress $78. I would never have picked this print but it works for my body type and the dress fits perfectly. Plus I love this style of dress- Keep.

I'm a Consultant!

Direct sale businesses are growing incredibly fast. I looked into it years ago but made the decision not to sell because of a few key things. 

1. Start up cost: Some were really expensive and others you got almost nothing. 
2. Incredibly competitive: I went to an information meeting for a direct sales company and was blown away at the almost greediness that I felt from it. I like this company and have liked my consultants but I just believe the structure that was set up is really about SELL SELL SELL and less about needs of consultants and costumers
3. Minimum sales required: With very young ones, I didn't want to have to book several parties a month, hope for good sales, pay for a babysitter, and come up short at the end of the month and have to buy something in order to continue being a consultant. 

 So why after that did I sign up for Usborne Books and More? Easy. The start up costs are really great. This month, September, we have a great deal. You only need $25 to start your own business. If you want another option, for $69 you get 7 books and everything you need to start your business which is valued at $115. If you want more books, for $119 you get 18 books valued at $315. All are really great options.

 Usborne has far less consultants then any other direct sales business out there. We are growing quickly but getting in before your area is flooded with consultants is going to be the key to your success. 

The other consultants I've met have been incredibly helpful. There will always be that one who is out for blood, but so far I have only felt welcomed and encouraged by others around me. 

The feel I get is that you take care of yourself first, meaning you and family comes first. Create a schedule that works for your family. Then take care of your customers so that you can build your business. 

The best thing about Usborne? NO minimum sales. You make your business your own. We have all kinds of consultants and most consultants will move up and down throughout their years with Usborne. I'm kinda of a Part-time consultant sometimes a hobby consultant. If you are trying to pay down a large bill, this may be an option. You can do it short term, until you have that bill paid off, and stop.

So have you liked anything you've seen? If you are interested in finding out more about Usborne, either selling or hosting a party let me know. You can send me a message by linking here: https://h4503.myubam.com/contactus
 

Updates Galore!

So it's been awhile since I've posted anything. I have been super busy with about a million things going on. So I'll briefly let you know what to expect in the next few weeks. I will be posting more detailed updates.

April I signed up as a consultant for Usborne Books and More. I have been doing both Facebook parties and Homeshows. Here is my shopping link if you are curious in what we offer.  https://h4503.myubam.com/

I have been working hard this summer playing catch up from about February- May. We own rentals and had one that unfortunately need a lot of work. We were able to get it rented right before we left for our trip to Arizona. Yeah! After we got back I started taking on many roles in our brand new American Heritage Girls troop. Things just ended up working out that way. Thankfully this year is starting out so much less stressful. 

We were more sporatic then I wanted to be with homeschool but since my oldest is already ahead. With the other two I want to make sure we aren't going through preschool too fast, so I wasn't too worried. In April I went to MACHE (Minnesota Association Christian Homeschool Educators) and found a lot of great curriculum for this year.
 
We have been enjoying our summer camping and the sunshiny days. In July we went to the Wilder Pagenant. If you don't know what it is, in Walnut Grove, Minnesota there is a play put on about the Ingalls family while they were in Walnut Grove. It is super fun and so many things to do while there.The girls and I also took a trip to Duluth to visit family and visit a few places for an extra educational punch. 

So now for a few cute pictures:
