SWINGING WITH A DENIM JACKET

Is it Friday yet??? What a day yesterday was. I tried to keep busy all day so that I wouldn’t be thinking about food constantly. Why is it if you start a new diet that you can’t think about anything else than food? Thankfully, I kept busy with work and before I knew it the day had flown by. My first obstacle will be water consumption. Yuck, I hate water. I am trying to stay away from sugar and any kind of sugar substitute so I can’t have any of the flavor packets. Instead, today I added lemon slices and it was tolerable but still not good. Lol!Joe is being a trooper about my diet even though I have not tried to force this on him. I fixed our breakfast this morning which usually has cheese but I told him that I wasn’t eating dairy. You could have knocked me over with a feather when he said then he wouldn’t have any either. Normally you can’t find the food under his pile of cheese that he has added. He ate it and pronounced it good. He is not fooling me, let’s see what tomorrow brings.  I haven’t worn my Jean earrings in a while. I gave my sister a pair and she mentioned to me that she loves them. That reminded me to look for mine and I found them in a purse. I had slipped them off while I was talking on the phone and forgot all about them. 50 is not old but she can be a touch forgetful. Lol! The Nona bracelet is one that I just didn’t think I would like so I kept holding off ordering it. I finally got it in last week and I think it is adorable. It is a reddish brown and I thought it looked great with my scarf. This little bracelet would make a super cute Christmas present. I got the Shanna necklace at the same time as the bracelet. It is a dainty necklace and I like having one that I can wear in the space between the neckline and my neck.  The Loudene necklace matches the Jean earrings perfectly. Turquoise is great for Fall. It goes well with so many of the Fall colors. This necklace is on a 33″ chain but I have worn it shortened today. Speaking of Fall……the new Plunder catalog addition came out today!!!! This is a supplement to the current catalog so you can order out of both catalogs. When you go to the shop option, both catalogs load onto the different categories. Go to www.plunderdesign.com/taniastephens to shop. Everyone who places an order over 75.00 from now to the end of the month (excluding shipping and tax) will receive a free piece of jewelry from me.  Do you like my new Dooney & Bourke purse??? I am in love with this color. It is the softest beige color, maybe fawn. I don’t know what the name is but I have been looking for a purse this color for a while. I also like how the leather handles and name plate are a darker color making them stand out.

I just bought these peep toe booties this past week. They are a cute pair by Marc Fisher and the best part is, they are on sale!!! This pair is called the Novice. They are not quite as light as my handbag but I still love this color. You will probably be seeing a lot of this pair. I am still not sure how you are supposed to wear peep-toe shoes in the winter, I guess I need to be looking into that. Lol!Yesterday I showed you a maxi dress styled with the denim jacket. It is only natural that I show you a shorter dress today. This is a swing dress from Old Navy, I love their swing dresses. They have a wide variety of styles including sleeveless, cap sleeve, and long sleeve. They also have petite and plus sizes to choose from. By the way, what do you think about my infinity scarf? I loved the colors when I spied this baby and hold on to your hats. I bought this scarf for 2.97! AND, so can you, this came from Walmart. I hardly ever buy clothing from Walmart but this happened to be on the end aisle that I was shopping in.

I have so many people that message me saying they want to join me in business but they are afraid of failing. Gurls . . . I know how you feel . . . believe me . . . I felt the same thing . . . but I have found that a fear of being broke, fear of staying in debt with no relief in sight and fear of not being able to live life to the fullest is greater than the fear of failure. I truly love the products from Rodan + Fields or I wouldn’t tell you about them. I truly love this business or I wouldn’t invite you to join me. I believe that this opportunity was put before me for a reason, just like I think the blog was started for a reason. Are “you” reading this for a reason? Go to www.tstephens5.myrandf.biz to check out the different enrollment kits. Really, what have you got to lose? You get great skin care products in the kit and the opportunity to have your own business. Email me if you’re ready to kick the fear of failure in the face! ??
