What Is a Good Christmas Present to Give?

With Christmas right around the corner people are racking their brains on what to give for Christmas.

AM I RIGHT?!

I rack my brain every year. And I always think... what do you give to someone who has everything or who can buy anything they want.
Its really hard to find THAT perfect gift.
Ya know when you were younger and your parents always said "make me something, it means more". I truly believe that is true to this day, no matter how old you are!

Last year I put my craftiness to use and made my family members wreaths. I wasnt really sure what to expect and if they would like them. But I thought long and hard about what their favorite colors were, or what colors would look best in their homes.

And this was a great success! MY FAMILY LOVED THEM!!! Over the past year I have had people ask me to make wreaths for them.

With the holidays coming up, I have had a few people who want me to make wreaths for them, so they can give them to a friend or family member this year for Christmas.

I want to extend this invite to anyone who is interested. If you would like me to make a wreath for you, so that you can give it as a gift this year, please private message me on facebook.

Here is my FB link:

Here are a few wreaths that I have made and have taken pictures of. Some of the wreaths I've made, I have forgotten to take pictures of. So if you have any other ideas that you would like for me to make just show me an idea of what you would like it to look like!!! GO ONTO PINTEREST, thats where I get my inspiration from!!!

 

 

Is College Really For Me?

Hey guys,

I'm Kate!

I am definitely a flip flopper.
I decided to go to college for Hospitality Management at Niagara University, I wanted to be a wedding planner! I just love all the detail and prep that goes along with weddings. But the more I thought about it I realized that when I did have a family, I wanted to be there for my kids soccer game or dance recitals. I knew that if I continued with wedding planning that I would be working 80+ hours a week and I wouldn't be around for important events.

But one thing I gained while going to NU was a BESTFRIEND, Brittney <3

Shes perfect! And is such an amazing person to grow and learn from!She has an amazing story behind her, and is one of the strongest people you will ever meet. She also is one of the most caring people and I am so blessed to know and learn so much from her!


So while taking that semester off I thought I wanted to do photography and then I wanted to go back to school for nutrition and then get a business degree... Lets just say none of those happened.

Fall of 2012 I decided to go to Finger Lakes Community College. I was really hard on myself for going to a community college. Everyone made such a big deal that I had went from a university to a community school... but I decided going to school for something was better than not going back at all. Knowledge is POWER! Well sure enough I went back to the whole business idea, I decided to get my degree in marketing.

I finally got my degree, something that I really didn't think I would ever accomplish!!!

Ohh, and I met this other amazing person while at school, Taylor. I really don't think we would have survived college without each other!

While going to school I realized that I NEVER want to work for a marketing firm, and I NEVER want to work for someone else. I want to work for MYSELF and make my own hours and do what makes ME happy. 

So this brings me to January 2014, I changed my life. I decided that I not only want to start being healthy but I need to be. I need to workout everyday to be happy and feel good about myself, I need to eat healthy to be healthy on the inside and out. 

T25 and shakeology were my saving grace. I learned a lot about myself and how strong I AM!

I now am a Beachbody Coach, paying it forward to other people who want to see internal and external changes and realize their full potential just like I realized mine. 

I have some pretty amazing people in my life that have helped me while I struggled, while I succeeded and everything else in between. They make me a better person everyday and I really don't know where I would be without them!

My Mom and sister!! And as you can see they are GORGEOUS too!!  

They only want to see me happy, whether or not the decision I make is right, they just want to see my smile! Ohh and both of them always put my needs or wants before their own! 

And my boyfriend, MARK!!!

 He always puts things into perspective for me and brings me back to reality. He is constantly challenging me so that I can grow to be a better person!
