Yeah I loved my job & the “security” (so i thought😒) it provided but I loved the idea of freedom, being able to come and go as I pleased even more✨.

Now I’m at every school event, field trip, and when they’re sick I get to be there. On days like this, I can be here (even though they’re getting on my last nerve🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤣).

But 2 years ago I’d be working in the field freezing my butt off, or in a cold court room, with my kids 3hrs away at my parents’ house or in somebody’s daycare and now today, I get to work from my cozy warm couch as my kids play at my feet and I didn’t have to ask for permission😌.

So if this is your dream and you’re an entrepreneur. Hang in there! I promise you, it’s soooo worth it!🙌🏾

]]><![CDATA[New Year Resolutions are so cliche? Not!]]>Sun, 31 Dec 2017 20:23:47 GMThttp://www.madebyartina.com/blog/new-year-resolutions-are-so-cliche-not“I don’t do resolutions, they’re so cliche”😒.

I’ve heard this so many times and while this may be true for you, it’s not for me🤓

I won’t allow people who have given up on their dreams, who are demotivated, who play victim, make excuses, complain, and aren’t growing in life convince me, that wanting to better myself, by making New Year’s Resolutions, is a problem because it’s not.

People who make resolutions & do absolutely nothing, then complain about the results from the work they didn’t do are the problem🙅🏾‍♀️. And I’ve been there so I get it. Said i was gonna do this and do that, then tell myself resolutions are cliche😕.

And you may have made resolutions too only to break them but i commend you for even trying and wanting to do better👊🏾.

So for me, the new year is like a BIG Monday where I have the opportunity to start fresh🌈☀️, to do new things, and have a start date with a plan of action for the rest of the year! And that’s what I’m going to do. So cheers to making New Year’s Resolutions and the beautiful things that await you in 2018💪🏾❤️

✨Speak positive, write out your goals, reverse engineer it, make a plan of action, and relentlessly go after it. Become obsessed with your goals as if your life depends on it because it probably does.

You got this!!!!💜

A girl wrote me yesterday and said I'd never understand her struggle bc I'm perfect and that looking at me made her hate the body she's in😞.

Let's talk self love for a second💞 Don't allow someone else's controlled, online content to make you feel a certain way about your body. It's ok to be inspired by others but never look at them only to then look at yourself and feel insecure. We all have problem areas and most likely we all have those special poses that make us look our very best.

If you're on your own journey learn to love yourself as you are right now; rolls, stretch marks, cellulite and all! Be patient with yourself & take it day by day, pound by pound.

If you don't learn to love yourself now, as you are, you won't love yourself at your goal weight either.

And if you look at me and think I'm perfect you are so wrong. I'm here to help, NEVER to make you feel less than. My fit camp is open to you. My mentorship is open to you. Whether you'd like to lose weight, learn to maintain, or you'd like one day be able to work from home, no matter your size...I'm here to help.

How many of us are so caught up in making sure everyone else is ok but ourselves.

I know I'm guilty of this but I also realize we must all take time out to recharge ourselves so that we can be at our best for everyone who needs us.

You can't pour from an empty cup. So make time for you, breathe deep, shower a little longer, wake up earlier and enjoy the silence, get a good sweat session in (working out of course 🙈), and recharge. 💞

Happy Friday Ladies!!!

]]><![CDATA[Pedicures & Full Circle Moments]]>Tue, 11 Apr 2017 21:02:39 GMThttp://www.madebyartina.com/blog/pedicures-full-circle-momentsMay not mean much to most but the one thing I enjoy whenever I'm kid free is being able to get a pedicure. But you know, I've always felt bad about it bc I felt like that money could have went towards something else. Heck, I haven't had a massage since 2007 and it was a prenatal one😩.

For me I'm a giver and I'm frugal but yesterday I sat in that chair thankful bc I didn't have to worry about money, I didn't feel bad about it because the money was there.

Like I said, may not mean a lot to most but being in a position, especially as a mom of 3, and as the primary caregiver, money goes fast so this opportunity, my little business, has been a blessing to me.

I think I'll be treating myself to more of these bc I deserve it. Might even get a massage. 😊

I was so super excited, for SUPER SATURDAY!!!!!🎊🎉🎊🎉

My team came to the Queen City and we officially met each other for the first time!

Never have I felt so close to so many women who I've never met face to face who are all more like family.

Such a blessing to be surrounded by other go getters. I am indeed thankful!

Often times we do things out of habit and comfort even though we know change is needed. We look back because it's "safe". Safe is cool but nothing grows from there.

We are all capable of so much MORE but we have to be willing to step outside of our comfort zone and go after what it is we want. What it is we deserve. You deserve more but you must move forward.
