So how much candy have you had today? Let's be honest. I actually only had 3 pieces (today) but I've been dabbling into this stash since Wednesday because we had a fun celebration at my church so I got a head start on the sweets. All in moderation right? Ok your turn, be honest. How much did you eat today? #accountabilitymyfriends #justforfun #tellme

Being a business owner has made me grow in numerous ways and today as I was glancing through a few books that I periodically dig into I had a thought. The things I've learned over this last year of having my own business have taught me so much more than I learned in 6 years of college. I realize that's not the case for everyone maybe I'm just a little slower to learn lessons. Regardless, I'm so grateful for the timing of these lessons. One of my favorites is that a dream is God's whisper to you in the direction of your future. Do you have a deep burning dream or passion? Don't ignore it. Someone needs to be encouraged and you will be the one they need to hear it from. Ask. Seek. Knock. And the doors will open. God is waiting for you to be ready. Full of fear? Don't be, because God qualifies those He calls. Keep pursuing your hearts calling. #impactingonelifeatatime #girlieboss #yourhealthmatters #passionpurposepotential #mompreneur

Can I take a moment to be real and ENCOURAGE you? Dreams come true one step at a time. In reflection of my decision to pursue health & fitness I've learned so many beautiful & tough lessons along the way. Here's a great one. When my coach approached me about this opportunity I had other things on my mind. I had other goals and plans then slowly those all started falling apart before my eyes. I was so sad, then I secretly considered this opportunity for a few weeks because I was afraid to say yes. I was more hesitant about a $40 dollar commitment than anything but then I laughed when I thought about how I spent THOUSANDS of dollars in college without a care in the world. Even still I took longer than I should have to sign up as a coach, maybe out of fear or maybe out of pure lack of confidence in myself. But guess what I’ve learned, fear is never telling the truth. Fear creates reasons for you to stay stuck in the back seat while it takes control of your life. And what is it that you’re fearing, failure? Because guess what failure won’t kill you. Failure is progress. It means that you actually had the COURAGE to go through and try something. Failure has been given such a negative connotation when in actuality it exudes strength. So go ahead and fail, then get back up and try another way. #failureisNOTfinal #keeppushingforward #confidencelooksgoodonyou #passionpurposepotential #coachMelissaIvette

Just a fun little reminder, don't let life escape you. #travelersheart #explorersheart #beautyeverywhere

Let's talk about the health benefits of •Acerola Powder•The antioxidant rich powder helps to fight disease, infection and inflammation. The Acerola cherry powder promotes dental health, prevents hair loss, and fights chronic fatigue, increases iron absorption, regulates blood pressure, promotes the healing of burns and wounds and aids collagen formation. Acerola powder also helps people to lose weight. The berries also contain a small amount of B-complex group of vitamins such as niacin, folates and pantothenic acid. It contains very good amounts of vitamin B-6, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid and folic acid. These vitamins acts as co-factors to help the human body metabolize carbohydrates, protein, and fats. In addition, they also contain an adequate amount of minerals and electrolytes such as potassium, manganese, copper, iron, and zinc. And guess what acerola powder is in? #Shakeology #drinkup #itdoesabodygood #notmyoriginalpicture

Productivity looks messy sometimes. Building my own business has been such a blessing. I get to work from my bed if I want to or I can go sit at my desk. I can listen to personal development while I fold laundry and answer my clients as I'm checking emails. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to change lives and better myself as well as my family. I don't take it lightly. Every day is an opportunity to bless others. Just last week I got my biggest check so far and it felt amazing. Yes, I worked for it but I enjoyed every moment of work. This month I hit a new goal in my business because as I build people up they are believing in themselves. I get to be part of the changes they are making. Don't just let life happen to you, take control. #blessedtobeablessing #keephustlingbaby #mompreneur #girlieboss #AcceptingApplications #JoinTeamFitforGLORY #DesignYourLife #LiveOnPurpose

I'm currently reading "Raising positive kids in a negative world" by Zig Ziglar. I'm still in the beginning of the book but I am being blown away by the simple things. In the last chapter I read he talks about how we try to teach our kids to be honest but then we send mixed signals and confuse them; a good example is when our phone rings we tell our family to answer and say that we aren't home, or we tell them not to speed but then we have a radar detector in the car. LOL! Aren't we guilty of such things? If your kids see you living out what you are teaching them it is far more impacting. Let's be those parents that say what we mean and mean what we say! #positiveparenting #GodlyChildren

The words you speak will direct your life. What are your words filled with, lack or abundance? Positivity or negativity? Self-doubt or self-respect? Building others up or tearing them down? You have to sow good seed to reap a good harvest. Watch your words. Speak well about yourself, your life & your future. Lift up others with your words. Believe that God's plan for you is the best plan. Reap the blessings. #theblessedlife #inspirationfortoday #wordsbringlifeordeath

A yummy clean dinner is not too hard to make. Did all this in 30 min while listening to some personal development. #alwaysmultitasking I made my own spaghetti sauce ahead of time (thanks to the #Fixate cookbook) cooked some lean ground turkey, rice pasta threw it all together and voilà, I had yummy healthy spaghetti! I wanted a salad but had no lettuce so I cut up a cucumber and cherry tomatoes, sprinkled a dash of salt, pepper and parsley on them, a little olive oil and some balsamic vinegarette. I mixed it around & let it sit for a few minutes while I finished dinner. Delicious! #coachMeliVetteFoodie #cleaneats #Superlife #eatforthebodyyouwant

#DrinkUp Good health is simple. Eat real food and drink lots of water. Eat. Drink. Detox. Most of the time that we feel tired, cranky, down, fuzzy-brained & emotionally drained we need a big glass of water to get us back on track. Maybe your body is not functioning at its best because it's a desert inside. HYDRATE. Dehydration is the number 1 stressor for your body. #Superlife #hydrate #passionpurposepotential #iamFitForGlory #livelonglivestrong
