Thursday Things 3/13
Remi was sitting beside me when I was working on today’s email and she asked me if I was going to put my MuMu in here. “What mumu? I don’t wear mumu’s.” She looked at me stunned. “Then what do you call this thing you are draped in right now? And have been draped in ever since it came in the mail?” She’s talking about this little piece of strawberry pie right here in this pic. I ordered this gown from Amazon and it’s so comfortable that I accidentally forgot to always take it off and wash it. Now, don’t get me wrong, it has zero structure to it. There is nowhere for your nipples and breasties to hide. They are all out there for the neighborhood! But if you are looking for comfort, you’ve come to the right place. So throw a robe on over it when you’re not at your house alone, but otherwise…welcome to your favorite summer nightgown.
I’m only throwing this in here because I have received soooo many DM’s on Instagram about my dadgum nails. This is a picture from Pinterest that I took in to Max, my nail guy, last week. He helped me pick out a purplish grey and then he did the thin french tip on them. I absolutely love them & apparently so do lots of you. So I wanted to give you a pic you could take in for reference, too. I would also like to add that I LOVE CHROME and I always want to add chrome to my nails. But when Max added chrome to my pinky nail I could instantly see that it was going to turn my nails a silver. So we had to forego chrome this time, but that’s okay, because y’all be loving this look and so do I. I honestly may stick with this for a while. It seems to go with everything and the thin french tip is kinda cool, kinda classy. Like me. Duh!
I know John and Jennifer Wampler, but I never got the chance to know Lizzy. Huge regret. HUGE. Because her story is one that I have not stopped talking about. Even this week I went to lunch with two girlfriends and this was the story I brought up and shared with them. Listen, if you want a story that will make you laugh, cry, be inspired, count your blessings, increase your faith and trust your God - look no further. Written in journal excerpts from John and Jennifer’s own personal journals during Lizzy’s cancer battle, Lizzy’s Walk of Faith will have you stretching your muscles for your own personal walk of faith. Reading it during this Easter Season has been beautiful and heartbreaking all at once. I am so proud of them!! And I will be standing in a long line in Heaven to meet Lizzy. Grab yours here.
HUGE NEWS!
Last year I decided that I was going to create a weight-loss group (of sorts) for all of you who have ordered Beautiful Yu products from me. A sort-of “thank you” as well as “let’s encourage each other” and “let’s share tips and ideas.” And so, I did! I did create the group. Problem was, it wasn’t on Facebook and it wasn’t on Instagram and so y’all. were. out. And y’all got so mad at me and you flipped your hair at me and crossed your arms and popped your bubblegum and you just would not be moved.
You didn’t want to go and download the Melissa Radke app. That was a completely different platform than the ones you were already on. It was like a whole ‘nother step and I get it! You complained. I listened. And so here is what I’ve done. I’ve shut that one on the Melissa Radke app down. And started a Private Page for all of us on Facebook.
“Uhhhhh, but Melissa, I’m only on Instagram!”
“I can only do ONE THING AT A TIME, SHERYL, MMMMKAY?? Let me live!”
So here is what you do:
Go to Facebook and type in Trim Fit & Flab-u-less (get it ‘flab-u-LESS’ come on, that’s cute and you know it!) or just click here.
Ask to join the group.
We will see your name and then head over to our Beautiful Yu account page. We will look to see that you are a SUBSCRIBER to at least one Beautiful Yu item. That is the stipulation for joining this private group. You must be a subscriber to a Beautiful Yu product. (Hopefully that is Trim Fit because that is what is going to help us reach some of those summer goals! But that’s not a must.)
Once we see your name on our registry, you will be approved.
Go on in. Make yourself comfortable and start sharing!
This is going to be a fun, safe, private environment for those (like me) who do not want to walk the rest of my weight loss journey alone. I want others lifting up my hands when I’m tired and I. am. tired. But I am not out!
Ever heard the saying “Want to go fast? Go alone. Want to go far? Go together.” Well, guess what? I want to go FAR. F-A-R. Who’s with me????
If you want to be a part of this exciting new weight loss family, then just become a subscriber to any of the amazing things Beautiful Yu has to offer. Right now I am loving their Creatine and their Charge, and of course I daily use Collagen and TrimFit. Check them out here, so we can go farther on our journeys…together!
Have you pre-ordered your book yet?
And are you listening to our new Chicken Fried Women podcast? Only listen if you want to laugh. This has been your warning!
That’s all for this week. Love you much!
