Memories of Tijiuan and Brett Wilson's 2011 Garden Party

 I am so excited to share with you two videos from the very talented Blayre Ellestad. 

In September Mr. W. Brett Wilson put together a team of 60 enthusiastic friends, family and business associates to travel to Tijiuna Mexico to take part in this life changing experience. My sales rep Karen and I were two of the lucky volunteers.  We went away with a greater appreciation, many new friends and such wonderful memories.  I can truly say it was on of the most meaningful things I have ever experienced in my life and I would do it again in a heart beat.  Blayre did such a great job capturing what is was like to be there.

Blayre was also at the Garden Party where Brett graciously hosted a fantastic party which raised over $325 000.00 for Dare to Care and anti bullying program that works with schools.  So much fun and all for a good cause!

Barefoot Venus

Well I have spent a lot of time barefoot and pregnant, but now I am looking forward to being a Barefoot Venus.  

I am so excited to have been given the opportunity to review Barefoot Venus products. Since my only "Me time" is in the bathroom, this is one assignment I am looking forward to.  But on top of that the company has offered to help me fund raise for my trip to Mexico where I am going with Brett Wilson and a group of other volunteers to build Homes of Hope.  http://vimeo.com/17541715  I am really looking forward to this amazing experience to give back.  I have a feeling it is going to be a life changing weekend. 

Here is how you can help.  Shop the site  Barefoot Venus  and use the coupon code:  CIRCUS upon checkout and 20% of your subtotal order will be donated  Homes of Hope.  

I am excited to work with such a Barefoot Venus.  Their products are created without parabens which I always look for and the company is run by terrific Canadian Moms.  Here is a bit more about the company.  http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Barefoot-Venus/123656824086
