Univera Baby!


I have had such an amazing weekend! I'm not sure if I have mentioned the company that my husband and I are involved in before but here it is again, Univera! It's a company based on growing a community of wellness. The products are based on science and nutrition and shared through a relationship marketing structure. I know this type of network marketing gets a bad rap as some sort of pyramid scheme but it truly is the way of the future. Even well-renowned "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" author Robert Kiosaki wrote a book on it as the up-coming business of choice and he's not even in network marketing!

We were at the Taste of Health Vancouver this weekend for Univera and it just gave me a completely new perspective into this business and how much it has done for me product wise as well as my husband and I growing in character because of it. But also just thinking of how amazing it would be as a "mom job". I'm taking my yoga teacher training but I think you have to work pretty damn hard in this town to make enough money to live on just teaching yoga. I think I would have to be doing about 6 classes a week and you prep for each class so that's quite a bit of work. So this business seems like a perfect way to make enough money to just teach yoga and not have a day job. Plus a lot of the "work" for Univera is connecting with people whether it be on the phone, email or going for coffee. Pretty sweet stuff!

So anyway I got to see a whole bunch of my Vancouver friends this weekend and talk to a whole bunch of cool people interested in health and wellness. What a fun way to spend a weekend!

Eli had a lot of fun too! He was a bit cranky because he got his first tooth on Thursday I believe and has since then been working on another. Slow process those toothies. Plus I fed him some mac and cheese twice on friday and he was up every hour that night with a tummy ache I think :( Thankfully, hubby and I take Xtra (Univera product) which kept us bright and bushy tailed with energy despite the lack of sleep. We give Eli our aloe vera product every morning and since we have it has regulated him and instead of pooping every 3-4 days he goes every day now and with ease. He even had bananas this weekend with no problem which he was very happy with because our little monkey loves bananas! We also give him our Essentials product which is a super food with tons of nutrients.

If you would like any information on any of these products comment or feel free to go to my husband's website:

8 Months!

Hello! I can't believe it's been nearly a month since I posted last. Wow time flies.

Eli is officially 8 months old tomorrow, crazy! That means new foods! Every day is a new worry too, he bonks his head... A LOT! He is obsessed with standing now. He'll crawl when he has to but he prefers to pull himself up and work on sidestepping and walking. I'm so not ready for that...

This will be another short post. I will have stats for you a week late, yet again. I just don't find the time to take Eli to interior health to get weighed on my own. Life is crazy right now. I always forget that it's not just the summer that's busy. It seems to linger all the way into late October, early November.

My only issue is that Eli first got sick September 19th and he is still sick! He had croup and that got better in about 4-5 days. Then he got a bit better and got worse again. He's had a runny nose and a rumbly chest for a week or two now. Dr. says his lungs sound fine so we shouldn't be too worried but still that seems like a really long time. I'm just glad his cough has stopped for the most part. But still how long does a runny nose linger?? Hopefully he clears up soon. He still plays like normal (and eats, sleeps, etc.) so I'm trying not to worry but still he's my little guy and I just want him to be better!!

Right now he loves four things: the coffee table, horsey rides, paper, and monkey noises

I'm feeling very exhausted after a busy and emotionally draining weekend. Lots of visitors fit into a small amount of time, houseguests, thanksgiving celebrations, and sad news about a friend. So lots going on right now. Best time to grow and change though, right?
