What a Year!!!

It's February 13th, and I'm one month away from celebrating big time!

I have been sooooo busy with my life, that I've not had the time to blog... I ALWAYS say, "this year I'm going to take more time to blog!"  Do I actually follow through? Nope. 😞  Not even having the mobile app has changed things...

So, I won't promise that I am going to do better. I won't say, watch for updates every week or even bi-weekly. I will update when I can!

Soooooooo...

Back to the celebrating portion! 😉


2018 is a huge year in terms of things happening.

My only daughter turns 18 this year. My oldest son turns 21 this year. My youngest son turns 10 this year. I will be turning the big 4-0 this year!!!!!! Thankfully not all at the same time! LOL!

My only daughter graduates high school as well this year, and will be heading off to Oregon State University in the fall! She has come so far since 8th grade, I just cannot believe what an amazing young lady she has become. 💖

My daughter also gets to go on her first cruise with her best friend this spring. Then in June she gets the amazing opportunity to travel to Japan! I wish I could go do both things with her, but one day I'll get to go.

In the last year, I have had so much fun with my business. I started out strong with vendor events booked from April through until October! I was busy every weekend between June and September. I had the amazing opportunity to attend the 5th Anniversary Origami Owl Experience in Phoenix, AZ in July, and that was OWL-MAZING!! 😉😀

Just less than 2 weeks ago the Spring/Summer Collection was launched. Since I have been a part of O2, I keep getting awed by the amazing jewelry we have to offer! Have you seen this new collection yet?

These photos are from The Nest (that's our home office):

The following photos are ones I took:

I think this is the most gorgeous piece we've ever had! The picture does NOT do it justice! 

 My 9yo son was the model for this bracelet. 

It fits up to a 7.5 inch wrist, which is too small for me sadly..

 These charms... omg! Sorry this isn't a good picture, but you can see almost all of the new charms...

The bar necklace is amazing! This one says "Everything happens for a reason"

Now, I'm sure you are thinking, "She said she's celebrating... so why is she sharing all of this?"

Here's what I'm going to do...

Starting February 18th, I will be doing a month-long sale and give away in my VIP Group on Facebook to celebrate my ONE YEAR anniversary as an Origami Owl Designer! I will have mystery grab bags for sale, as well as other specials, and here and there I will also be giving away FREE stuff to celebrate! Added bonus for members who decide to join my team and become a designer as well!

So, if you are already a member of my VIP Group, HOORAY!! If you are NOT... then what are you waiting for? In order for you to join my VIP Group, you will have to first like my business page, then follow the link to my VIP Group and request to join. You will have to answer the 3 questions in order to be approved.

I'm so excited for this upcoming anniversary!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Starting out fresh- New business!

March 18th, 2017 I started a new business, and I can't be more excited to share this with everyone!!

You might be wondering what the heck was I thinking? 👀

Ok, I'll tell you what I was thinking:   I absolutely LOVE this product line, I wanted a discount on purchases for myself, and lastly, WHY NOT?

I am now an Independent Designer with Origami Owl!

I mean, have you SEEN the jewelry yet??

It all started with this:

This is my work lanyard. I still work outside the home as an Educational Assistant in an elementary school. A good friend of mine, who I've known online only for about 10 years now, has  been a Designer with Origami Owl, or O2 as we designers call it, since the beginning... Well, she asked a simple question on Facebook: Who has to wear a badge for work?  I answered of course, and then I got a message from her that there was a sale on the lanyard locket badge holders if I was interested. What do you think I did? Well, you guessed right. I bought one!!  I even ordered extra charms to add to my locket. The original one came with a school bus charm, the pencil charm, a set of books with an apple charm, and the leaf charms. 

I honestly fell in love with the charms and the locket!

Since March, I have been doing A LOT! The top photo is of me wearing the Hostess Exclusive look that I earned for FREE for the month of July. The next three photos are items that I put together for other people (I never watermarked these for some reason, lol). And the last photo is my typical booth set up for events.   I have done at least one event every month since starting in March, and I have only had ONE event where I didn't sell even one charm, which is amazing. 

Just a couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend my first ever O2 Experience. This year's convention marked the 5th anniversary of O2! That's right, O2 has only been a thriving direct sale business for 5 years now, but it's been around a bit longer than that! Go take a look at how O2 started here:  https://kiralee.origamiowl.com/ourstory

Now I have a VIP Group on FB, and I'm working towards my first goal: getting enough points to earn the incentive trip to the Riviera Maya in March!! I have until December 30th to get an additional 80 points, which means I need to start building a team, getting my team volume to be no less than 2000tv a month, and getting no less than 500pv (that's personal volume) per month. My goal is to get a minimum of 100 points so I can take my daughter on the trip with me. Even if I only get 80 points, I can go on the trip just myself, but I really want my daughter to go with me so we can celebrate her birthday in style! The trip is just a few days before her 18th birthday! 

I'll be updating this blog more, now that I have more exciting things to talk about!

Inspiration from iLiving App!

Seven Life Lessons I Learned from an Evergreen
By Eden E. Hopper
EvergreenEden.com

1. The evergreen tree lives up to its name every day of its life, staying true to its colors, even when the world is grey.

2. It shares its peace and beauty with all who come near it, no matter what they look like or what they believe.

3. It sways and dances, whispering strength to all its neighbors and its fuzzy little tenants, when the harsh Santa Ana winds come whipping up the face of the mountain.

4. It makes a safe, warm haven for those it harbors in its care, giving them shelter and comfort from the cold.

5. It bows gracefully when the heavy snows come down.

6. It stays firmly rooted to the ground through it all.

7. And last but not least, it grows just a little bit everyday as it strives to reach towards heaven!

Those are 7 things I need to remember myself!

This tiny bit of inspiration came from something new. Something unique out there, groundbreaking, and amazing!! I'm normally not one of those people to jump into a new opportunity while it's ground-floor  but iLiving App, or iLA, is too cool to pass up on!! Here's some info for you (taken directly from the website itself):

iLA (The Inspired Living Application) is a one of a kind, cutting edge mobile application that makes it possible for the average person to profit from the exploding mobile application industry.  iLA has done something that has never been done before.  We have combined three multi-billion dollar industries to create a viral phenomenon, and you are in a unique position at the beginning of it all.  

iLA has created a powerful mobile platform that delivers unparalleled personal development content to anyone that wants to reach new levels of success in life.  Once a week, a professionally produced, content rich video is delivered to your mobile device on topics that include….    

Goal setting

Time Management

Personal development

Business development

Leadership development

Wealth building and financial management 

Personal motivation and more

So different than what is currently out there for mobile apps, AND the best part is- you DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A SMART PHONE to be able to take advantage of this either... you can access the website from your desktop or tablet as well!

The videos that are available to view so far are phenomenal. Just this morning I watched a short 6 minute video about what personal development truly means. When I watch these videos I certainly will be taking notes with a pen and a piece of paper! ;o)

Since this is still ground-floor  content is still being developed, but there are blog posts so far, such as the one I posted at the beginning of this post... and there are a couple of videos so far. The most interesting thing is that they have developed a great compensation plan for people who need that extra income.
There are three options for enrolling with iLA:

1. Free: you only receive the weekly videos-no access to the archives or to the website, and not eligible for participation in the matrix referral program
2. Retail: you pay $6.95 a month: receive the weekly videos, but now you have access to the archives. Still not eligible for participation in the matrix referral program
3. Associate: for $9.95 you have full privileges- access to the archives, website access, a personal website to share/promote, and the ability to earn from the matrix referral program.

I'm excited to be a part of this- there are nearly 50,000 associates so far. What makes me the most excited is that the developer and the ground-breaker for this app is from the area where I am living right now, and the headquarters are in the same town I currently work in!!  McMinnville, Oregon, is a small town, but has some BIG things! ;o) It makes it so exciting because it's local! 

So, if you are interested in checking out what iLA is all about, go to my website and watch the videos: http://www.iLivingApp.com/kiralee  If you like what you see, feel free to contact me or go ahead and sign up!

Oh, BTW- it's available GLOBAL!!!
