I have been trying for almost a month to write about how transformational convention was for me as a person and as a Plexus Ambassador. I cried many times as the Lord touched my heart and spoke to my core. I texted my husband a simple but powerful text through tear filled eyes, “This has been amazing!! Things are changing!!” Things have changed and they still are.

While at Convention we released 3 new amazing products Lean-a chocolate mocha meal replacement drink, Slim Hunger Control-an amazing new Slim that is full of fiber in addition to balancing blood sugar, reducing cravings and everything else original Slim did and Joyōme our skincare line was released to the public. We also introduced our Plexus Charities and our first partnership is with Feeding America. Every serving of Lean sold = 1 meal for Feeding America, there are 14 servings in a bag of Lean. We also kicked off the partnership with a donation of $100,000 in less than a month we have donated 1,776,664 meals to Feeding America!

More than new product knowledge the Plexus Legacy Convention was about the people, empowering us to grow and become exactly who God created us to be. One of our leaders said something that amazed me, “Plexus is a personal growth company with a compensation plan.” WOW! Yes, we want to share our products with others but we want our people to be the best they can be. This sentiment summed up the entire convention for me.

“Plexus is a personal growth company with a compensation plan” who doesn’t want to be a part of that? #plexus

Ron and I both love OREO cookies so when I recently saw the new OREO Chocolate King Size Candy Bars at Walmart, I knew we had to give them a try. The candy bars come in two varieties, Original and Mint. I couldn’t decide which one to try first so, I bought both! The OREO Chocolate King Size Candy Bars are on Rollback at Walmart so right now they are only $1.00 each!

We tried both flavors and we like them both very much, we couldn’t chose a favorite. We decided it just depended if you are in the mood for mint or not…I’m always in the mood for mint!

About the Fruit of the Loom Jogger

Our men’s fleece jogger will take you from your home to the gym and everywhere in between. Its on-trend, cuffed bottom pant leg gives it an updated look while its woven draw cord adjusts to the perfect fit for you. Plus, it’s has generous pockets to help keep items secure and it’s sure to stay soft and durable wash after wash. So when it comes to these medium weight fleece joggers, you should probably run out and grab some. Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Jordan has been wearing his jogger around the house and he says they fit great and are very comfortable. They are a nice, medium weight so they are perfect for wearing indoors without being overly bulky.

About Fruit of the Loom’s new Breathable Underwear

Fruit of the Loom Breathable underwear are just what you need to help you stay cool and fresh all day long. These panties are made with breathable, micro-mesh fabric that supports the flow of air. Tag free, soft leg bands and a smooth waistband provide added comfort.

I received a package of the Fit For Me plus size briefs. Here is a bit about them.

Our Fit for Me beyondsoft women’s briefs will keep you so comfy that you will want to wear them every day. Since scratchy elastics can ruin a good thing, we covered both the waist and legs with our heavenly soft fabric. The Fit for Me beyondsoft panty is more than just incredibly soft. It provides other great benefits such as durability and less shrinkage. Fit for Me underwear by Fruit of the Loom is made for curvy women. You can feel your best knowing that these panties were designed to fit your shape.

I love the fit and the fabric. They are comfortable to wear. My one complaint is that the leg holes are a bit tight on me. They fit everywhere else but the leg holes get pinchy, especially when I sleep.

Fruit of the Loom Breathable Underwear is available for men and women in a varieties of styles at Walmart and Walmart.com.

October Beauty Box 5 Goodies

I’m listing these products in order of my most favorite to least favorite, your opinions may vary

Amlactin ULTRA Hydrating Body Cream

I’ve been dealing with some dry skin on my arms and elbows recently. This body cream is really making a difference.
Retail value $2.99.

Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil

I was on the lookout for a new highlighter pencil, and this one arrived just in time. It is already packed in my bag to go with me to a work convention next week! Retail value $18.00.

Real Her Moisturizing Lipstick

I received this lipstick in a very dark wine color called “I am Powerful”. This dark color looks horrible on me.I did wear it one day when I stayed home to see how moist it was and how it wore. It was average on the long-wear test and on the moistness test. In a better color, I might of actually added it to my beauty arsenal. Retail value $18.00

Emery & Ivory Custom Nail Appliques

I haven’t used these yet. I ranked them fourth because of the colors they sent me. They are pink and mint! Very cute colors for spring or summer but…It is October and my nails need to reflect the season. I’ve put these aside to pull out next spring. Retail $12.99

Color Me Femme Red

This perfume overpowered the box the moment I opened it. My husband and I are both sensitive to strong scents and just opening the box had our eyes watering and noses sneezing. I threw the perfume sample out in the outside garbage so it wouldn’t bother us any more. Retail $10.00.

Beauty Box 5 Values

As usual the Beauty Box 5 subscription box was worth much more than the cost. Subscriptions start at $12+ and this month’s box included full sized products valued at $41.88. If you would like to get Beauty Box 5 for yourself or a friend, just click the link to sign up!

There also are new values for Florida residents who are looking to visit all year long, with incentives for purchasing early in the year.

There’s a lot to learn and the internet can be more than a little overwhelming at times.

I know what it’s like to feel that healthy living shouldn’t be this difficult, and it shouldn’t have to cost so much, either! Don’t you ever wish someone would just tell you exactly what you need to know and how to make these changes for less?

When you have the right info and tools at your fingertips, it all comes together so much more easily. You know what to cook for your family. You’re more confident in choosing natural alternatives. You can easily replace store-bought products with DIY options that really work. You feel better (and even look better, too). Healthy living becomes less stressful and more enjoyable.

That’s why Stephanie and her team have put together the Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle for the fourth year in a row. Each year, they’re amazed at how many families are saying “yes!” to their health and taking them up on this super short opportunity to get a complete collection of natural-living resources for a crazy low price.

You sort of need to see it to believe it, but the package includes over 90 digital products on topics like natural remedies, essential oils, real food recipes, paleo & allergy-friendly eating, fitness & weight loss and much more. All together, it’s worth over $1900!

Plus, it comes with almost $240 worth of bonus products including:

• ePantry – FREE hand soap + $8 credit on one shipment, FREE dish soap + $8 credit on the next shipment, AND 60-day VIP access with FREE shipping ($30 value)
• Plant Therapy – Lemon, lavender and peppermint essential oil set ($25.92 value)
• NaturOli – FREE travel essentials facial set: deep conditioning facial wash (1 oz.), new radiance facial creme (1 oz.), exfoliating walnut scrub (1 oz.) ($16.95 value)
• Bloom Naturals – FREE SPOT treatment for acne & eczema OR a $15 gift certificate toward Bloom Naturals products ($15 value)
• Lexie Naturals –  FREE natural care gift set: lip balm (.15 oz.), lotion tube (1 oz.) and trial-size deodorant (.35 oz.) ($15 value)
• Perfect Supplements – $15 gift certificate toward any Perfect Brand product ($15 value)
• Strawesome – $15 gift certificate toward the straws and accessories of your choice ($15 value)
• Thrive Market – FREE coconut oil gift box ($15 value)
• TriLight Health – FREE 2-oz liquid herbal formula or $15 off larger bottles ($15 value)
• Craftsy – 1 FREE online class ($44.99 value)
• Once a Month Meals – $32 toward OAMM membership + a free mini menu ($35 value)

Besides being so incredibly helpful and inspiring, one of the things I like best about the bundle is the price. By offering the bundle for a short time only, they’re able to give you access to over $2000 worth of amazing products for a whopping 97% off!

Here’s how it works:

1. Visit their website, take a quick look at all the goodness that comes in this package, then click “Get my copy now!” to go through their simple 3-step checkout process.
2. You’ll receive an email with a login to their online access portal, where you’ll begin downloading your eBooks, signing up for your eCourses, and redeeming your free bonus products.
3. Use their Getting Started Interactive Guides to pick the area you want to tackle first and start making healthy changes!

The most important detail, though, is that this bundle is available for just 6 days! After Monday night, September 14th, the sale ends and you’d have to buy all of these products individually.

I’d hate for you to miss out, so click HERE to learn more or buy the bundle.

It’s even backed by a full 30-day guarantee, so you can know for sure that it’s right for you.

No one should have to put off a healthier lifestyle because it costs too much or they can’t get the help they need. Our family has felt so much better by making changes to the way we eat, the products we use, and how we take care of ourselves. It’s made all the difference in the world and I want the same for you and your family. And if you need a value based care provider who can meet your health care needs, you can find more information here.
