From Clutter To Clarity

Direction

2011-02-06T16:06:00.000-08:00

Lately I have felt that for the first time ever in our Business, I have NO direction. Don't misunderstand what I am saying. I am not saying that I have had NO Ideas, I have tons and thousands of those. I just feel that there are new ways developing through Grace. We have had sooo many contacts that have the same passion and desire that we do, that we have had 2 more consultants added into our ever growing FAMILY.

I am VERY excited to see where we are going. With Valentines Day right around the corner I will be giving some exciting discounts and great give aways.

Where do you want to see Grace? What would you want out of a business if you had thought about being a consultant?

I am in prayer about all the different turns and paths that we could walk down.

The newest venture will be giving opportunities to Dental Offices, and coffee kiosks. I am quiet sure that these new ventures will be better than ever.

Think of how many times you leave the Dentist and your lips hurt? Wouldn't it be great if you could pamper your lips? Don't they deserve it?

I can't tell you how many times I have gone to grab a latte and have thought, you should totally have a place to sell Lip Balms, who doesn't have enough cash to buy one? Mmmmm......

Coffee flavored, that would get me up and running in the morning.

Oh well

Pamper Your Face

2010-03-18T22:59:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wondered why our skin looks and feels so gross right as our monthly "Friend" comes and visits?

Did you know that our Face goes through a skin cycle?

A skin cycle that takes 28 days? YES 28 days so if we know when our "Friend" is about to unpack her bags we will then know when to clean house!

1. First we will start with 28 days and finding out that date for the month.

2. Then we will go back one week and from there we will start preparing our skin by washing, exfoliating and detoxifying as well.

Drink lots of water, eat your veggies and eat your fruits it is very important.

So I am going to challenge all my Lady Friends to do just that, keep a little journal, take pictures do whatever you need to do.

I will be Washing with "Grace Body Essentials" Speciality Facial Bar.

I will be Detoxifying with "Grace Body Essentials" Black Mud Mask.

I will be Exfoliating with "Grace Body Essentials" Facial Polish.

I am very excited to see results as we have been very busy with new Ideas and Kits created with YOU in mind!

GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS

Love Natalie

Our NEW Adventure

2010-02-19T09:51:00.000-08:00

I am really excited to be able to say in March 2010 "Grace Body Essentials" is opening a Boutique in Astoria, Oregon!
My Business Partner and I had been toying with the idea for so long, but every time that we would go and look it was either in the wrong location, too much overhead, or just didn't feel right in our spirits.
I had really come to the understanding that it just wasn't going to work.......
Then out of the blue, when it is GODS timing it happened!

The Rent was PERFECT
The Location was PERFECT
The Neighboors are PERFECT
The Timing is PERFECT

We are so excited and are really looking forward for being in Astoria now. I will be keeping up on all the updates take care and God Bless!

So my mom and I went to Portland on Saturday. We went early to meet one of our new distrubuters and partners with Truffles, so we were supposed to meet at Bay 13 in The Pearl District. Number one we couldn't find one another, and we looked and looked, see we were supposed to meet at the restuarant at 1:00, come to find out that Bay 13 doesn't open till 4pm! Ha ha, they say on the door 10-8pm on Saturdays but, were NOT open! Did I mention it was FREEZING

We decided from there that we were going to walk around Portland and pass out our samples and talk to some local business's.

Have you ever decided already the day that your going to have, and then reality called "Life" creeps in? Ha ha that was us this day.

We went to Ben and Jerry's to get a water. I ran into the restroom to freshen up and while I was in there heard Asher let a blood curdling scream! I ran out and my mom had this look on her face.

I said jokingly "What did you do pich the baby?" She looked up and said

"Actually, I did. I was trying to pull his hat down over his ears and accidentally piched his ear with my nail!" She felt so bad and I had to laugh.

We decided from there that we would go and move the car closer to where the dinner was going to be that night. We were putting Asher in carseat and I had noticed that Baby Asher was just staring at my earings. I turned to my mom and said "Man he is just staring at my earings!" my mom turned to me and said..."Nat, look at me?" I turned to her and she said "Uhm you only have ONE earing in"

Oh my gosh I thought, I wondered how many people had noticed! I started laughing thinking to myself, that we probbably didn't look to professional.

We parked the car in the new spot and as my mom got out of the car I noticed that she had dragged this huge pile of leaves and weeds with her! Ah ha ha I pointed it out and she giggled. I then noticed that she also had one of her buttons on the other side of her cardigan, which meant it had popped off.

I was enjoying that day with my mom and had a lot of fun. I had just got done feeding Asher in the car, and I was showing him out the window as I lifted him up I accidentally bumped his little head!

He didn't cry at first and we were trying not to make a big deal out of it, and then he cried and we laughed, couldn't help it. He is fine by the way. Poor kid he gets his ear pinched on accident and then after he enjoys his milk I bumped his head.

Man I feel bad.

The business meeting was amazing that night and we met the most wonderful women. I realized something that night after someone said it.

Grace might not be the most professional, or the most organized, but at times she is Gutsy and she jumps in with both feet. Never looking back! God has given us our business and my mom is my business partner and whatever we go through we are in it together.

I am greatful for this business and greatful it is called "GRACE"

More than a business

2009-10-23T12:20:00.000-07:00

Well it has been on my heart lately that "Grace Body Essentials" needs to be doing more than what we are. I am hoping to put on a benefit for Breast Cancer in the near future. I was thinking that we could get a few other vendors possibly a food vendor and a few crafts or services and then with percentage of what we make we could give it to research for Breast Cancer. I know that Jesus is not going to give us a business that is just going to be a business.
AMEN it is up to us to think out of the box and give back, and so we are going to be doing a lot more coming up and we both are very excited.
Starting the month of November we will be doing different sales with each one of the products, we will start having our Reccomended Fragrances for Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer.
Thanks and will give you more soon!

God is Amazing

2009-09-22T14:06:00.000-07:00

I am so greatful that Jesus loves me so much that he takes care of every need, and I mean EVERY need! Jesus is amazing, and is so faithful.
YEAH my husband works his tail off, but he is able to take the extra food that is made every day and distribute it to organizations, friends and family that can use it every time!!!

We are busy with the business, new ideas every day, and I am getting ready to start my News Letter so I hope to have the first one out in November.

New Dates for "Grace Body Essentials" Sampling date is the 10th of October at:

Cravin Raven
SE 13th and Harney
Sellwood, Portland OR 97202

The next week we will have our new products in there just in time for FALL

Dreams Come True

2009-09-17T14:29:00.000-07:00

Well, I have been so busy with twitter, facebook, and everything else going on!!! WOW well where do I start?
Uhm we moved last December into a wonderful little town home about 5 streets away from my parents. It is all that we have been praying for 3 bedrooms, washer and a dryer, backyard and a place for the kids to ride their bikes where it is not on a main road:)
Rent that we can afford and awesome neighboors.... SO BLESSED

Since then I have left my business where I was working so I could completely focus on
"Grace Body Essentials" which is where my heart is completely.

Dennis left where he was as well and in Oct of last year we found out that we were expecting a baby boy!!!

I went through many different complications with this pregnancy, but was so thankful at the same time.

Our baby Boy was born on JULY 2nd and was healthy and happy.
His name is Asher Kawika James Myers and his name is what it means. "Happily Blessed"

God is amazing and my mother and I have been on this journey together and I couldn't imagine a better business partner of mother.
I love her she is fantastic and so creative. God knew what he was doing when he put this dream in our hearts.
So from here this is what has been going on with our business..........................

Places that you may purchase our products........

Fitzgerald's Home & Garden (Gearhart, OR)
Sea By The C (Seaside, OR)
Epiphany Skin Care (Los Angeles, CA)
Great Northern Garlic Company (Manzanita, OR)......Soon
Custer House B&B (Seaside, OR)
Isabel Ross (Seaside, OR)......Soon

Well in the meantime we are so busy with samples, and getting our own consultants, finding companies to do our reviews.
God Bless,
Natalie

Winter Weather

2008-12-12T20:55:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I wonder about the weather here by the beach?
It is unbelievable how quickly it can change over night! It is very windy and cold right now here on The Coast, we are expecting snow the next few days however!!!
I am traveling over The Pass tomorrow for going to Hillsboro to meet up with a client and get Xmas shopping done as well.
Tomorrow night me and Dennis are going out to eat for our 1 year anniversary at The Stephanie Inn we are soooo looking forward to that! Then we are having a quiet evening at The Ocean Lodge for the night.
Sunday night is my holiday party at work we are going to where I used to work which is The Surfsand. How weird?

God WILL turn it around!!!

2008-10-29T19:49:00.000-07:00

I am so excited that God loves us so much that he takes the time to let us know each and every day!
What do we have to do in order to recieve that LOVE?
Love him in return. Sounds pretty easy huh? I can not tell you how busy my day gets with having kids, running my business, working full time as a reservationist, reading the word, working out and praying.
HOWEVER....................................................
My day pretty much doesn't go smooth unless, I put THE LORD first.
The word Intamacy means alot to me.
I hear Intamacy and the Lord says look into me and see (Intamacy)
It is vital that we as children that love the Lord really give our whole hearts to him and only him, he is waiting on our voices of tenderness to him.
I just thought that I would let everyone know how I feel.
Love Always,
Nat

This is how we roll!

2008-10-09T21:10:00.000-07:00

Well first of all I am happy to tell you that God has BLESSED our family with a job for Dennis!
The one place that he really wanted to be at, awesome hours, great pay, and still can go to Church on Sundays!

What a big old God we have!
Nevaeh is still in dance, Skyler is now going to be going to Swim on Saturdays so I can take him and watch him, as well as making sure that Daddy doesn't have to walk him in the rain.
I can't wait to see him.

Business wise it is INSANE! But in a good way, we have had huge success online. I just finished my first Ebook that will be a gift when you order our "Welcome To Grace" Package online.

I also just started to work out again, UGH I wish that I could just get skinny, but ha not going to happen right now.
I have decided that I will work out about four times a week until I can devote more time in the future. I do 45 minutes on my treadmill as well as two hour long strength work outs as well.

It is unbelievable the rain that we have had, one day it will be sunny and gorgeous and then the next it is pouring and cold.
Too funny!
Well that is all for now,
Love Nat

Grace Body Essentials

2008-09-25T12:29:00.000-07:00

Grace: The free and unmerited favor or beneficence of God;

Body: With regard to living things, a body is the integral physical material of an individual.

A group of persons associated by some common tie or occupation and regarded as an entity.

Essentials: Absolutely necessary; vitally necessary; all-important.

Our business name is Grace Body Essentials it wasn't even something I thought of when The Lord gave us our business name, however the other day he made it very obvious that the words that make up our name are very symbolic!

Grace: In order for us to be set free.

Body: Jesus gave his earthly body on the cross, as it was broken.

Essentials: It is Essential that the Lord died and gave us his broken body in order for us to be in his unending Grace!

WOW

Chew on that for a while.

He is so amazing and sees so much more than we do, or can even fathom, Give GLORY to the King of Kings.

Amen

Good Morning!

Well here we are with one of the Blogs

Just recieved my laptop! (Spring Green) Of course!!!!! I am so excited to get moving on the business.
It has been crazy lately, if my phone isn't ringing about buying products, it is a company that wants to promote us.
Our new adventure will be working with a company setting up Packages that are already made that husbands can go online and buy their wives or loved ones different packages.
One would be like a spa package, one you could do really simple and then add flowers or chocolates.
It really will be up to you!!!!
Anyway when I have all the details I will be linking with our webpage!!!!!
www.gracebody.com
So, Dennis is looking for a job right now, please keep in your prayers.
Of course my DREAM would be that I could stay at home with the kids,
(Soccer mom thang) and work on Grace more than what I do already.
Every day seems that if I stay organized with being a mom, honoring my husband and taking care of the home that The Lord brings business our way.
So if I could just get into the routine of working out on top of everything else that we have going on!!!
Skyler Doo is now in swim. Daddy takes him three times a week. He is doing very well, maybe he will become very good. The other day they went and threw marbles at the edge of the steps for the kids to pick up, Skyler got a few. YEAAH
Ms. Nevaeh will be starting dance this week on Thursday, Ballet again, she is very excited.
I am trying to let Dennis sleep in some days in the morning, so he is not so tired having to get up at six int he morning every day.
Me and Vaeh did her homework this morning, I let her sleep in and drove her to school, it was nice.
Well off to conquer the world!
Love You All,
Nat
