The Power of Influence
Do you know how much POWER your influence has? I went to the dermatologist this week, and was once again reminded of the influence I have on others. As I reflect on the conversation I had with my doctor and the genuine comments she made about me, I can’t help thinking about just how much all women influence others more than we may realize.
I may not have a big following just yet, but honestly, don’t we all influence those around us in some way?
We have those who look to us for inspiration in how we dress, fix our hair or makeup, how we walk and carry ourselves. But not only that, people watch our attitude! Have you thought about that? How you greet (or don’t greet) others, the small talk with a cashier or other people waiting in line. Do you take the time to help others reach an item on a high shelf, or are you in such a hurry that you don’t have time for others?
Oh yes, we all influence others in many ways!
And if you have raised children, you know the influence you have on them! Good or bad, they absorb it all. What we choose to do and say each and every day impacts others in some way.
People are observing you every day and YOU can have a HUGE influence on THEM.
What message are you sending out? Is it one you would be proud of or one you might be ashamed of?
I think we need to be more aware of what message we are sending others!
Have a fabulous week my friends!

Sandwich Your Statement
How do you take a graphic t-shirt and make it really stand out as a statement piece? SANDWICH IT! I could also have worn it with jeans to make a very CASUAL look, but it wouldn’t have focused the attention to the message on my t-shirt. That’s why we wear graphic t-shirts, isn’t it? We have a MESSAGE to convey, no matter what the wording or picture. We want someone to KNOW (even if it’s just a reminder to yourself) something we like or believe in. It may be a funny message, it may be a concert t-shirt, it may say WHO you are (baseball mom, grandma, etc.), but it’s always INTENTIONAL.
Let’s Get Popping With A Popcorn Bar!
Are friends coming over? Need to add a twist to a party? Is it your turn to provide snacks for a group? Well if you answered YES to any of these I’ve got you! A simple popcorn bar! wanted something SIMPLE but awesome. I didn’t want to spend an incredible amount of time making or shopping for something. What would seem UNEXPECTED to come in with that would give a WOW factor, but be so ideal that people could walk away saying, “I can do that!” A popcorn bar!
