Have You Heard of Jockey Person to Person?

I recently learned of this clothing company.  You've heard of the Jockey underwear, right?  Well, Jockey Person to Person is part of that company.  It is sold through consultants who come to your home either for a party or a one on one shopping experience in the comfort of your own home.

I met Gail Schmidt here in Minnesota who has been with Jockey Person to Person for three years.
Gail introduced me to this clothing line and when she said it was comfort clothing, well let's just say I was interested.  As of my nature lately, I jumped in and said.  Let me host a party.

That party took place this past Wednesday night.  Okay, I'll admit it.  The morning of the party I thought to myself what have I gone and done now?  As if I don't already have enough things on my plate.  (I went camping with my daughter on the weekend, got myself out of a new part-time job - whew! That was close, and released my novel "Do Over" on Amazon. 

Fortunately for me, my sister Val came over that afternoon and helped me spruce up my house for
my party guests.  (I'm telling you, have a party as it forces you to get those things that you never have time to do, done.) Thanks Val.

Anyways back on topic:  Jockey to Jockey.  Gail the clothing consultant was really great.  Knowledgeable about the clothing, the styles that look best on your body type.  How to make the most outfits out of the fewest pieces.  It was great!

Plus, as the hostess I bought some really nice, quality clothing at a discounted price.  Here's what I'm getting.

Active Reversible Tank with a Active Skort.

 

(Black) Modern Bootleg Pant

(Black) Modern Capri

 

High Collar Zip Jacket (Black)

 

Zip Front Cardigan (Sapphire)

 

(Magenta) Cardigan

 

Dolman Sweater (in Black for my Daughter)

 

And, this cute LBD (mine is in black.)

 

Plus, a Hoodie Zipper Jacket in Blue.  I wasn't

able to find a picture of it as it was from the past season spring line.

 

10 Pieces of clothing + my hostess discount.  I bought all these

clothes for under $24.00 dollars each.

 

What a great deal.  I can't wait.

If you want to check them out for yourself here's

my consultant Gail's website:

Or, find a consultant near you and have a party!

 



My Book "Do Over" is Available on Amazon - Yippee!

 

It's available here http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00943I95W

 

I chose to self-publish my book on Amazon and make it available as

a Kindle novel.  In a few months I may have it also available in print form.

 

This has been a very exciting experience and I feel very fortunate to be alive

in a time when a writer can get their words out into the world so easily.

 

Working with Amazon was very simple.  The hardest thing for

me to figure out was how to get my formatting to work correctly. 

I thank you in advance for

your support on helping me accomplish one of my life long dreams.

 

If you would like to learn more about self publishing. I recommend taking the wonderful webinar by

Denise Wakeman called, From Blog to Kindle.

You really do have the power to make your dreams come true.

 

Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage,  just literally

twenty seconds of just embarrasing bravery and I promise you, something great will

come of it.

 

Matt Damon's words in the movie "We Bought a Zoo."

 

Thanks everyone.

Congo Bars - A New Favorite.

 

I admit it.

 

I'm a sucker for a really good chocolate chip cookie.

 

So, when I saw this photo from

I couldn't resist the urge to

make some for myself.

 

Here's the recipe which is very easy to make.

I added all the ingredients into a bowl and mixed.

Then, I added the chocolate chips and nuts.

 

Congo Bars Recipe:

(Recipe adapted from Bakerella)

2 3/4 c. all purpose flour

1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 c. butter, softened
2 c. brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 package milk chocolate chips
1 c. chopped nuts (optional)

Add eggs, one at a time to sugar mixture, mixing on low in between each addition. Add vanilla and mix. Add flour and mix until combined. Stir in chips and then nuts (optional).
