Thurs Things: Before Summer Hits - Read This.
The sweetest text I could ever ask to receive came from my mom this week. Here is what it said…
Melissa Paige I read your book cover to cover on our trip to NY. I take back everything I said about it that was negative or critical. It was amazing, titilating, yummy and spicy! All the things YOU ARE! I was so astounded at the hilarity and then how in a moment it was deep and moving, emotionally. You didn’t get that from me but probably from your grandfather. You never read any of his stuff but you should. You would see what I’m talking about. I’m beyond proud of you baby girl.
The world could applaud me, but if my momma doesn’t… well, you know what I’m saying. That was the “review” I had been waiting on.
Before you and your mom or you and your girlfriends head out of town for your getaway, why don’t you grab Chicken Fried Women. TRUST ME, if Annette likes it - that says a lot. She hasn’t liked a single song that’s been released since 1978. If I can say this myself: it’s funny. Really funny. You will laugh and then say “Honey, honey, listen to this!” Which is something men absolutely hate, so that’s reason enough right there!! And when you grab one, would you do me a favor and leave a review on Amazon? That always helps a lot and some of you are just WAITING to be asked your opinion on things. So Margaret, here’s your chance! Be a friend, buy it, rate it and tell all your peeps about it, today!
Can I speak to the woman who’s been trying?
Trying to feel good in her body. Trying to eat better. Trying to find energy, confidence, and something - anything - that works.
Maybe that’s you?
Maybe you’ve cried in a dressing room recently. Maybe you said no to the beach vacay because (once again) you didn’t feel “ready.” Maybe you’ve stood in front of the mirror and just thought…what has happened to me?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
I started using TrimFit one whole year before I ever started my Glp1 drug. And it changed the game for me. Before, I would try to lose weight while being exhausted physically, mentally and emotionally. But TrimFit gave me momentum. And when a woman has momentum, everything changes.
Trimfit is doing what women have been begging for:
It gently curbs your appetite (no more mindless snacking.)
It gives you natural energy (no jitters, no crash.)
It helps you burn body fat (finally seeing results instead of just chasing them.)
It’s not too late to call them back and tell your friends “Yes, I’ll go to the beach / pool / vacation with you. I’m ready.” Grab some today!
New Skin Care
A few weeks ago I mentioned on a FB LIVE that I was in the market for some new skincare. Nothing was wrong with what I was using, I just needed a fresh start…a clean slate…a reboot. I needed to unplug my skincare and plug it back in again. About three days later I got a box in the mail from a company that I LITERALLY could not even pronounce. I had to call someone and ask her how to pronounce it. You have to admit, it’s pretty ballsy to reach out to an influencer and offer them your product without any kind of deal or contract. I could say anything I wanted! They don’t know me! And I don’t know them!
Y’all. I’m sold. I’ve been using it for a month now and my skin - MY MENOPAUSAL, FINICKY SKIN - is plush and hydrated and thriving. I can give you absolutely no more information about the company except it’s all clean products made in America. It’s not Korean skincare, salmon sperm (this is an actual thing now) or something created by an 18-year old influencer. It’s grown up skincare for grownup ladies. And I LOVE it. The picture above shows you what the four basics are, but friend, they have so much more than that. But The Basics is where I started and it’s probably a great place for you to start, too. (Except I want that beef tallow moisturizer and I want it next!!) Get you some, too.
Love you,
Mel
