Herbalife...
Okay, so a few months back I decided to bite and see what the herbalife hubub was about. I went to one of these local shake shops and first off, was unimpressed with the people and atmosphere. I was very interested in the product but the people sort of killed it for me, and the price for someone else to make my meal was...wow. 6.50 for a shake, a shot of aloe and a tea. I could not afford that daily, let alone twice a day.
My husband and I researched Herbalife and we really liked what we read, it was a matter of being able to get our hands on the products without having to go through these shops.
Well, I let it go and we just kept spending money on shake mixes from the herbal stores and pills and we lost like 2 pounds in almost a year of trying. TWO! Seriously??? We gave up sodas a year ago, we stopped eating anything white...flour, sugar pastas...gave it all up. Started juicing to reboot, that kick started our systems, but wasn't enough.
I am a med student and I had to do 392 hours clincal/externship. I ended up at a clinic where a couple of the girls that worked there sold Herbalife! I was happy that now I had a chance to talk to someone. I got some from one of the girls and tried it, I fell in love. NOw I sell it myself. I have lost 14 pounds in about a month and my husband 19 pounds. We are committed to this...for life. Now I may not use all of the pills forever, but I will always have my shake and tea and aloe! Right now I am on a good regimen and am getting used to this new life! I invite all of you to ask me questions and if you are interested in buying products or becoming a distributor, I can help you out!
I will continue to document our progress.

because so many have asked...here it is...
The recipe to the laundry soap I make...
you will need
4 c. of borax
4 c. of washing soda
1 bar of fels naptha soap
1 bar of ivory soap
mix the borax and washing soda in a bucket. then cute the bars of soap into a few squares. put several squares on a paper towel and place in microwave for about a minute, they should swell up and the ivory will look like a marshmallow. make sure they are puffed well. but do not put in too long as it WILL burn.
then allow them to cool for about 10 mins or so. then using a cheese grate, grate the bars into the bucket. they will flake, this is normal and what you want. do this until all of the bar soap is in small flakes. close the bucket tight and shake. also shake before each use as the flakes will settle some.
doing this right the bucket should last a couple of months. you only use about a table spoon of it. you do not need much and it gives your clothes a light scent like a baby. it is awesome! each load costs about .06 cents. This is one way to save some money and still get good stuff! It is a little work but it is worth it. we save tons each month!
I have more tips and recipes to come. it is not just stuff for big families. my recipes can be broken down or even added to if you need more. There is no reason to pay high prices and be broke when you can work a little harder and save money!
please leave some input for me, or questions...
LIGHT & LOVE TO ALL!

I wanted to put out there for all of you that I also sell herbalife. I also use it. OMG. 12 pounds in less than 3 weeks so far! My site is https://www.goherbalife.com/enigmaanjel77/en-US
You can go here and sign up and order and have it delivered to you or if you are local, I have some stock and can make orders and bring it to you. Whichever you choose! This is my means of supporting my family so it would be great if we helped each other! I can coach you and help you lose weight and KEEP IT OFF! And you can help support us! lol Seriously though, the products are outstanding! My husband and I have been doing this for 3 weeks and already a huge drop in weight! It is not as hard or expensive as people may think. Hit me up and we can talk and you can even become a distributor if you would like to lose weight and make some money on the side!
Life happened...
I have neglected my blog for some time. I just completed my 8 week, 392 hour externship for medical school. It was rough! But I survived and learned so much! I am very happy to have met the people I met, and had them show me new stuff.
I have 12 weeks before graduation. So much to do.
As for the kidlets, they are getting so big and fast! The eldest will be 18 in March. Holy crap!!
I am just so happy that everything is on the right track. I have a lot of work to do to get to graduation but it is all worth it. And I am not done just yet...after I work under a doctor for 2 years I will then apply for my P.A. And this cycle begins again. lol
I will write more soon. Just a small update. I will be back to my usual blogging soon...Take care all!

A Whole New Life...
Since we left the "Cursed house", things have gotten so much better for us. I truly believe there were forces trying to help us and push us in this direction. We are healing in so many ways. I just can't get over how much sleep we have been getting! Sometimes I catch myself waking up at night to see if we are still really here. To see that we are really not back there and this was not all some kind of cruel dream. It has been over a month and I guess I need to adjust to the normalcy still.
Soooo, to help this along I have been writing on the cursed house and hope to have it published this coming year.
Work is going good, getting some more hours as christmas is coming and also I will have two months that I have to work for free so I wont be making money. I will have to put away enough money for about 3 months worth of bills so that we can survive during this time.
There is more to come. Bookmark my blog and follow me!!

Change is in the air...
So much is happening all at once and all for the better. Work is going great, school as well and we finally got out of the toxic house! I truly believe things happen for reason and something kept pushing us to move, if it was not one thing it was another. Then, several things went wrong all at once and we knew, SOMEONE was trying to get our attention. So we started searching for a new place. We were turned down by every apartment place and rental place in our town! Why? Because they did not have places big enough that we could afford. So finally we were (last resort) searching craigslist and found a nice little home. Well we came and looked, it was perfect! Just enough room for all of us, they would allow our animals here and we may buy it next year! It is at the top of our price range, but that is okay! We are safe, happy and getting back to healthy!
A lot has changed, not just with the move, but within me as well since we left that house. 9 years of pure hell! And anyone who ever stayed with us, even if it were a short period of time, can tell you how horrible things were! I know there are going to be tough times, I believe that is all a part of life. But health, wealth and happiness suround me and my my family and it is not going to stop. I have opened up to all the good and stopped letting the little things stop me.
Keep an eye out for more. We are finally all unpacked (after 3 weeks lol) and have things, for the most part, in order. So as we move forward in this amazing ourney, I will be documenting things.
Until next time...

Hello all. I hope everyone is doing well. I have had so much on my plate lately. We had to take Nik to another doc today. He has a lot going on. He is 5 and on 7 medications! Its nuts, but he is a little trooper and keeps on moving forward. Sometimes I feel so sad for him, but then he laughs and smiles and does something silly and I feel everything will be okay.
I am so bogged with school and this new job. But I love it! I love that junior stays home with the kids and is such a good daddy! I have tried and tried for years to get where I am now. Sometimes I am thankful he lost his job. I mean money wise it hit us hard but otherwise it seems like the best thing to every happen! And for that I am grateful! All of my kids are trying so hard to work together and keep the house nice and be good for daddy while mommy is out. Here I sit at 130 am, most of them are sound asleep. Tavy ofcourse, is wide awake sitting here with me lol little turd. But I just can't help but think how lucky I am. Sleep deprived, working my butt off, and happy as can be! I am done with letting things get to me. I do not have time for it. I have 8 beautiful beings here that I need to keep my head up for. They are the reason I do anything and everything and honestly without them I am nothing.
I have also been thinking lately. I have seen so many people who have terminal illnesses making bucketlists. I hought we were all terminal. I mean we are ALL going to die. So why can't we have a list of things we want to do in our lifetime? I am making this challenge to all I know...make a bucket list. I know perfectly healthy people who get killed everyday. No one knows what tomorrow holds. So today, cross something off your list. Did you hug the ones you love? Make it a point to do so everyday. Never assume someone knows you love them. We take so much for granted and should let others know they are loved, needed and would be missed!
Take care all!
