A Team Meeting...Complete with CHOCOLATE!

Me and Cassity...team leaders;)


The team has grown by leaps and bounds...it's time we start having some meetings! Team Blessed Fabulous and Hot Mommas had our FIRST team gathering On Jan 20th at THE MELTING POT! I love me some chocolate. It was a great night! I got to meet some amazing girls IRL (in real life)! I totally consider these ladies my friends and have never even met them! It was filled with TONS of SURPRISES that I had for the team...SHOUT OUTS for some AMAZING team members...and CELEBRATIONS for NEW team members! We started the night out with recognition...I bought some yummy girl scout cookies called "shout outs" and gave those to Cassity Reed and Melanie Hollingsworth for making TOP 20 for the entire fall 2010 season!! WOOT WOOT!

Cassity and Mel...Love these girls!

Also from our team in the Top 20...Sara Hendricks and my fabulous mentor Cindy Boyd and YOURS TRULY! Holla!
Enough of that...then we went over some super exciting things for spring! Everyone is IN LOVE with the hostess exclusive line! This is GREAT NEWS for business! We had a lengthy Q & A session that resulted in 2 NEW REPS! YIPEE! SO super excited to help these fabulous ladies launch their business! Welcome to the team Tara and Nisha! So great meeting both of you and sharing in your excitement for the road ahead! I know Tara is on her way to being a stay at home mommy!

OH...AND...Amy from pinkcloverdesigns came to our meeting too! I had to give her some "shout outs" for making my custom printables for my launch...pics to come on my next post! Amy...you are so super sweet and exactly what I imagined! Glad you got to escape for some "Adult Conversation" LOL!

Stacey and Amber...so great to meet the both of you too! I love how we meet people and it just seems like we have been friends for-ev-er! All and All I would say this first team meeting was Super FUN and very successful! Thanks to EVERYONE!!! WAIT...there's more...I almost forgot that my little Ava made the trip with me AND she made a new friend...Cash Reed! It took my little shy Ava a while to warm up, but once she did, it was a match made in heaven! When I got home from dinner, by the time we got everything settled and ready for bed, it must have been close to 11pm! Ava said "but mom, he's starting to be my BESTest friend!" She wanted to play more...poor thing! Cash is convinced he is marrying my Ava. Her Dad isn't fond of the idea! LOL! Since the introduction, these two want to call each other on the phone and are talking about their next playdate...did I mention they are FOUR! haha! So stinkin' cute!! They played "house" all evening... here is a pic of them going for a walk in the rain! CUTE!!

Supa Sta!

Well, I haven't told you some FUN, EXCITING details of this fall season! I was a top seller...in the top 20(actual number to be revealed later this month)! Anyway, I also made it to TEAM LEADER this season. So, since I had a successful season I was asked to be a part of this video shoot. Not just me...me and Cassity Reed and Sara Hendricks who are both on Team Blessed Fabulous were also top sellers and asked to participate in the shoot! Of course my sponsor Cindy Boyd who is also an MVB supa sta was a part of this as well! All dressed up...there was even a makeup artist there...BIG TIME! LOL! We were each asked to give a testimony about our experience with MVB. This sure was awesome...there are reasons why we do this and why it works...now it's out there for the world to see! SO...feels like I had my 15 minutes! hehe! AND BTW...Addison and Ava were able to participate in the Spring/Summer 2011 photo shoot. Only DSRs with top sales were allowed to bring their children to the model call...my Little divas were chosen to be a part of this exciting shoot! I can't wait until the catalog releases. The video shoot and the photo shoot where happening at the same time...so look close and you will see that my fashionistas also made a video debut! It's so fun to be a part of this company...the opportunity to be so close with corporate and grow my business as this brand grows is something you just don't get everyday! Ground Floor opportunities only come along once in a life time...so glad I snatched this opportunity right up! Here is the video link...Happy Watching!
If you want to be a part of this amazing opportunity...contact me! I'm totally your go to girl with all the details! Come on...what are you waiting for?

Spring Has Sprung...well, almost

It's that time again...a new line from MVB is just days away from its debut! Check out my Ava in this to-die-for collection Blossoming Days. It's a hostess exclusive. What does that mean? If you want to own this outfit for your little fashionista...you must host a show. It's easy cheesy to host.
On a different note...with the launch of a new line...it's time for me to plan my launch event...theme? favors? food? You know me...all about the FABULOUS details. I am in love with the colors in this outfit, so there, colors decided...lively lime, total teal and classic leopard! FUN! This event is going to be VIP! I have lots of items from my fall line and spring2010 leftover...I am going to offer these at a huge discount and ONLY my VIP customers/hostess' get the opportunity to buy! I like to treat people special that have helped me grow my business! Food...not sure all of the details BUT cupcakes are a MUST. I am in love with pink clover designs...Amy has made me some fabulous printables...cupcake toppers! So Cute! My favorite cake diva also named Amy from Sugary Expressions will be making lemon with lemon buttercreme and raspberry with champagne flavored buttercream cupcakes! YUMMY! I have made my invitations...also a design by Amy at pinkcloverdesigns. I am making cute hair accessories to match this outfit for all of the ladies that are going to host a spring show! Just something fun that matches the theme! Those are the details I have for now...I LOVE party planning! I LOVE children's clothing! I LOVE hanging out with friends, girl time! I LOVE that this job lets me do all of these things! Who could ask for anything more?!

Best Friends Forever...

Me, Sara, and Cassity



You guys have all heard me talk about the amazing friendships I have made in the business. Well, funny thing...most of the woman I honestly consider BEST friends of mine and I have never met them in person!! So FINALLY the day arrives that I get to meet Cassity Reed. I have talked about her in previous posts. She was my very first team member and has been a ROCK STAR in sales! She is an amazing leader and person. She is like superwoman. Three kids under the age of 4 and little missy has been amazing this season. Explain to me how a woman gives birth in August...the month we launch fall season and ends up on the TOP of the leader board ALL season?! WITH her newborn on her hip at every show...Girls...look at THIS leader...SHE IS AWESOME! Ok...off of the Cassity Reed soap box! LOL! So...I got to meet her in person! She is just what I expected her to be. She shows up with baby in hand and lookin super cute! Funny story, early that day, I called Cassity and left her a message that said we FINALLY get to meet each other! Well, my little Addison...smarty pants...says "mom, you KNOW Cassity already!" She can't fathom that I have a Best Friend and I haven't actually met her. LOL! We know each other and all about our families...this is what it's all about! Anyway...We got to hang out with some other TOP DSRs in the company...which included Cindy Boyd...my mentor. And Sara Hendricks who is under Cassity. Yep...Cindy Boyd's team was in the house! I had the opportunity to meet Sara early in the Fall season and she is an amazing lady too...it's so awesome to see the mothers, wives, professionals come together and have MVB in common and be at the TOP of the game together. Here are a few pics of us hanging out this week.
Jana...her future's so bright, she's got to wear shades

All the ladies with Jana and Jessica

Toasting to an amazing Spring/Summer 2011

A trip to the mountains...

Sometimes it is just nice to have some fun! I had a fabby new team member sign up and I just HAD to go to her launch party! I have been to colorado a couple of other times...I just love it there! Susan decided to join the fabulous life with MVB and she signed up with me! She is such a go getter and a really sweet person. This has been another awesome perk to this business...meeting such great people along the way and becoming friends with them! The launch party was HUGE...there were over 40 people in attendance, of course everyone LOVED the clothing! Thanks to my Colorado girls for such a great time! Oh...one of the best parts...Trista was there! Susan and Trista are BFFs and have the same circle of friends...so, of course Trista would be at the launch supporting one of her best friends! Oh! The pic below is me in my fabby MVB coat! Hadn't gotten to sport it in Texas yet...so fun dressing for fall in the mountains! Wouldn't you know, one day after I left they had their first snow! So sad I missed it! Mid October and the first snow...big difference from here in Texas...we hope we get a snow! LOL!

My Poor Neglected Blog...Fall Update..

To all my fabulous followers...SO SORRY, I have neglected this blog for WAY to long. Hold on...this post may be a doozie. Here are the quick stats. My team has grown from 18 to 55 team members so far this season!!! Blessed Fabulous is on FIRE!!! LOVE IT! Thank you to all of my fabby team members for working this business and building our team so strong!
How have I done with top ten this season??? Not too shabby.
August- #1...second to none;) hehe
September-#8...this was my BEST month in MVB and I ended up #8! At least it was top ten!
October-:( Just out of top ten...Cassity was #2 though!
November-#10...that was a close one!
All of this and not to mention how amazing my team is too...Cassity was in TOP TEN with me every month from September-November. I was so super excited about November because Sara Hendricks was #1, Cassity Reed #2 and me #8...Blessed Fabulous had THREE of the Top Ten this month! So cool!!!
I am so excited at the growth of this company...sales went through the roof this season and I know we are just going to keep going up, up, up! I know I always say this..but really, I am sooo blessed to be a part of this amazing team of women! The Lord Blesses us when we least expect it...MVB came to me and I took a leap of faith and it has literally paid off!

REWIND...only the HIGHLIGHT of my spring season...AMERICAN IDOL CASEY JAMES

How did I forget this?! It's a long story but so worth the read...if you ask me! hehe! Here goes...Who watched american idol season 9?! If you did...I know you noticed the little hottie Casey James! Well, its a small world. Turns out my little Addison goes to kindergarten with Lyndi Poynter. She happens to be Casey's cousin! Lyndi lives just down the street from us and her mother and I are good friends. How cool that their cousin is on IDOL!? I get the hairbrain idea to dress the kids in MVB and send them with signs in the audience...Lyndi's mom, Sara had told me they were going to see him live on the show. I had to hook them up and get MVB some publicity on national TV! I called corporate MVB and a box was sent to my house with lots of outfits for them to choose from. Then...I have another friend that owns Crestview Printing...called him and asked if he could make us some signs for the kids to hold up at the show. I made a trip down to the print shop and helped design the signs...so fun! They were set. It was a shot in the dark...would they even let them bring in the signs? if they did, would the signs even be seen on tv? They did and they were!!! SCORE!!! Next...even more fun...I try to pull together a watch party and have this huge event for fans to come to. Well, turns out...Casey's cousin is already planning one, so I hop on his bandwagon and start helping him plan! FOX 4 will be there...and MVB! I contacted corporate and my print shop friend AGAIN...this time for t-shirts! I got to design with the print shop again! MVB decided to give away outfits to the first 50 girls to show up at our watch party AND a $500 shopping spree to one lucky winner! The watch party ended up being a hit...over 250 people attended. WAIT...IT GETS BETTER...the next night is the vote off. Sadly Casey gets the boot, BUT check out the video...THAT'S LYNDI! And...THAT IS AN MVB OUTFIT I PROVIDED HER! WooHoo! All and all...tons of press for MVB and Casey ended up #3...not to shabby! Can't wait to purchase his album...you know I have a secret crush! shhhh!
MY AUTOGRAPHED POSTER!! OMG!!!

JESSICA TEXTING HER VOTE!

ME, BRENDA and DEBBIE, Casey's MOM!

January 2010...I'm in like flynn

Here we go...I am in the business. How fun is this?! Believe me it came with a bit of a struggle! Can I really do sales? I mean...really? I am a nurse and a mom. I have tried other direct sales before. How would this be any different? Wait...it IS different...this is the most amazing children's clothing line I have ever seen! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE dressing my girls in these clothes! The girls are show-stoppers when they are in MVB. This is something I am EXCITED about! It is so easy to get excited about dressing up my girls, way easier than excitement about face wash or lotion. Still, I had a bit of hesitation...So, I ask the hubby...he says "I know you can do anything you want to do and I support you if you decide to do this!" I know ladies...eat your heart out...he is a keeper! With Jason's support and my head spinning with ideas, I dove right in! Purchased my sample line and soon got a call from Jana. Who is Jana? She is the national sales director and is a wealth of knowledge. She told me...ok...don't wait until you get your clothing to book shows. Call your friends today! So I did! I started by asking all of my good friends to host a show for me! I would say..."I don't have a clue what I am doing, but I am excited!" LOL! I was text messaging and facebooking like a mad woman! Within hours I had 4 shows on the books! WooHoo!
Let me tell you about a few relationships that started at this point...Cindy Boyd. Since I came into the business through corporate, not a sales rep already working the business, I was signed up under a random person. It was Cindy! Cindy was one of the first 17 sales reps in the business. Cindy would become my "go-to girl"! More to come on her...stay tuned! Told you about Jana...love her! I become closer to Jessica, I mean I am IN the business! Lisa too...poor Lisa, I must have emailed her a million times within the first week that I had signed up! She is the lady with ALL the technical answers, I am so not technical. So many amazing relationships now and SO many more to come! The Lord works in amazing ways...He has placed such amazing people in my life. Friendship Blessings from above!
