Start loving yourself the way that you want others to love you. People will only treat you how they are trained to treat you. So if you expect a man to love you unconditionally start doing it yourself.

I see too many women complain about people are not loving them or treating them a certain way. However, the way that other people treat you is the same way that you treat yourself. (Law of reflection)

Start speaking to yourself with love.

Say positive affirmations.

Take care of your body, mind, and spirit.

Description:

After accepting her Dutch boyfriend’s invitation to move from sultry New Orleans, Carolyn finds herself in the land of windmills, wooden shoes and endless gray skies.

As she moves away from the remnants of her tragic childhood and America’s obsession with race, she is plunged into the depths of homesickness, depression and a declaration of war on her own hair.

She travels through motherhood and a career change, and her determination is put to the test. On the way to self-discovery, she ends up finding love, soul sisters and the secret to avoiding bad hair days.

In this mid-life memoir, Carolyn writes candidly about how getting the runaround in Spain, being mistaken for a prostitute and losing her passport in Cuba, and dealing with Dutch people on their bikes (among other quirky adventures) have changed her ideas about being a black woman in the
world.

Be sure to check out the attached excerpt. Happy reading!

Today was a faltering kind of day for me. A bit of self doubt because I was thinking about all the things I have to do to get my business started. I feel better now, because I have the support of my family. It's amazing what a few words of encouragement can get you through.

I know it's not going to be easy, but I've come a very long way from when I started. There will always be obstacles along the way, but it is the way you deal with and learn from them that matter.

I love this post about not giving up before you get to the finish line http://essentialu.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/10/cosmetic-business.html written by Kayla of Essential wholesale. I read it a few days ago, and needless to say, it was very timely because I needed to read it again today.

So up I get, to keep moving and get this business going. I am very blessed, that I have a dream and the ability to make it happen. So, why wouldn't I?

When it comes to the word Spa, what are some words that pop in your mind? I can say for sure pampering, rejuvenating, relaxing, and tranquility are some of the word that comes right off of the top for me. These words are also what women looks for when it come to creating a spa atmosphere and this concept shouldn’t change when it comes to creating a basket either.

You want to make sure that when you are designing a basket that your basket has a nice even flow and that it’s not over crowded with the same items. In other words, you have to make sure your basket has a theme and make sure that your colors are the same as well. You want to make sure the scents are basically the same because you don’t want to mix Lavender and Chocolate in the same basket.

Here are list of items that should always have in your Spa Basket.

You should always have some type of cleaning or washing products. Just choose any one of these products:

· Body wash

· Bubble Bath

· Bath Salt

· Shower Gel

While you’re still in the bath or shower, it’s a good time to exfoliate the skin and you can choose any one or you don’t have to depending on your budget.

· Brown Sugar Scrubs

· Sea Salt Scrubs

· Sugar Scrubs

You want to moisturize and hydrate your skin once you’re out of the shower. You will need to have at least one or two of these pampering items in your basket:

· Body Cream

· Lotion

· Whipped Body Butter

· Body Oil

Also you can add any of these item to your basket as well:

· Hand cream

· Pedicure Cream

· Fragrance oil scent

To complete your basket it’s always a good idea to have at least two or three essential items in your Spa Basket:

· Body Brush

· Eye-mask

· Neck pillow

· Spa slippers

· Plush towel

· Pillar candles

· Potpourri/sachets

· CD of soothing or meditation music

· Chocolates

· Gift certificate for massage or facial

Then collects all your items and put them all in a nice basket filled with plenty of decorative shred lined on the bottom and around your items. You don’t have to use a basket; you can use any decorative boxes, bath caddy, or decorative gift bags.

So no matter what budget you are working with you can create a Spa Basket for any occasion.

I’ve been getting questions from someof the women in my tribe/network and most want to know how they can getstarted in the coaching business. I’m sure each of them have varyingreasons why they
are interested.

If you have a desire to help others that would be one reason to seriously look into this model. If you’re tired of
working harder without realizing the results, this is an ideal model for you.
If you want to monetize and share your expertise with the masses, this is an
ideal model for you.
