My Reflections

My crazy life.

It has been a little while since I wrote in my blog. I guess an update would be nice. lol

It has been a very busy 3 weeks. I have done a lot.

November 29th, I had my D&C and scope. Recovery went well. The first 2 or 3 days were the worst of it. I have had my follow-up, and everything seems to be healing nicely. They took 5 polyps off my uterus. Now it is a waiting game to see if that was the cause of my heavy bleeding.

November 30th, I decided to start selling Tupperware.

December 6th or somewhere around there, I got the bright idea to sell Pampered Chef too.

Yeah, I may have bitten off a little more than I could chew at first. I was still working on getting Tupperware set up when I started the other one. Technically, I am supposed to keep the brands separate which is a bit complicated. I am not supposed to mention them both on the same post on social media. So, I thought I had a great idea to make a separate Facebook page so I could sort of separate them. Nope, come to find out, Facebook only actually allows you to have one profile. They disabled it.

Ok, back to plan A. I also learned Facebook only allows you to have 2 business pages on your profile. I had to remove my crafts business page I had set up. So I will have to set it up either as a group or do something else. So I make 2 business pages; one for each brand. Then I had to connect the pages and groups for the parties to an app so I could preschedule posts. This took some work as it can get a bit confusing. I got through all the training videos for Tupperware. I am still working to get through the other one's training. I have started doing Facebook parties for both this week. I am off to a good start. I am taking a much-needed day off today though. Running your own business is exhausting. Running parties online is actually fun.

I not only need sales, but I need hosts for parties and am also supposed to try to recruit others to join me selling the products. I think I will be okay now that I got it set up to preschedule posts. It's not so bad now. I think I can handle it. However, I am almost going to have to combine them sometimes. I need hosts for both and it's challenging to ask the same friends over and over again. I think once I get my system worked out, I will be okay.

I don't suggest doing both to anyone else. It can get crazy really quick. However, I am excited to be on my new business adventures. I plan to write product reviews in time to come. This will not only give information about the products I am selling but help me become more familiar with the item too. I think I am going to have so much fun with this. I just hope all my friends are patient with me if I do accidentally ask the same question over and over again. I have a lot on my plate right now and it's a lot to remember. I will create a dropnote below for anyone who may want more information about my businesses.

I was promoted to a yellow case Dec. 11th. Yay!

I weighed 220 pounds this morning. I am beginning to lose the weight finally.

I also was told I probably have another autoimmune disease, so was put on some new medication which is making a huge difference. I am starting to feel some better.
