What's Up Wednesday?
Chloe + Isabel by Split Pea Jewelry, May 18th
"Define success on your own terms, acheive it by your own rules, and build a life you're proud to live." - Anne Sweeney
Building a home-based business is not just about making money - it's much bigger than that. Working my business daily brings me closer to some very important goals in my life. Being more available for my daughters. Taking better care of my husband. Having more time to dedicate to causes that are important to me. There are but a few years left to spend with my youngest, who will soon only have 2 years left of high school. I have worked full time since they were small - and since my mom's passing - I have had to let the "little things" go in order to keep pace with only those really important things. THAT is my new WHY ... WHY it is so vital for me to begin a new stage in my life and redirect my attention to what matters most.
It is certainly always easier to reach goals with cheerleaders in the background. I spent the past weekend in Orlando, FL at the very first annual SOAR convention for Chloe + Isabel. 2 red-eye flights, EST messing with my sleep schedule and very long hours in training sessions couldn't dull the excitement of being surrounded by strong and loving friends. Friends I may have met once, but have been Facebook pals with for the past 20 months. My "candisisters" as we call each other are what gives me the strength to surge past many of the goals I set for myself.
As I touched back down in Seattle on Monday morning, I felt an energy I hadn't felt in years. (Tinged with a cold that's plagued me for 3 days.) My Chloe + Isabel is the vehicle that will carry me towards a more fulfilling life with my girls and my supportive husband. And my new friends (who I wish were my neighbors so I could see them every day) have my back. They understand what drives me and will keep me pushing forward until my dreams have been realized. Today, I am SOARing.

Why Chloe + Isabel?
I recently met a woman at a Ladies Night I attended. I was "popping up" and she came to look at my display. Immediately she went into her sales pitch for her company - why I wanted to use her products - why they were the best - how much money I could earn by becoming a rep for them - when could I come see the product? Holy cow! I felt a bit like I'd been run over by a bus within the last 5 minutes!
One point Chantel Waterbury, CEO of Chloe + Isabel helped me understand about her vision for our company is her desire to control it's growth and the most important aspect to her is the education of each one of her merchandisers. We don't recruit. Our company is not set up that way. We are individual merchandisers who, if we choose, can be a part of a team to help lift each other up and gain confidence in business.
Thus, you will never find me recruiting you or your friends. Pop Ups are a time for friendship, styling and giving yourself a little something to make you happy.
So why not schedule a little shopping time with me? It's fun!

My girls!
Katie is my lovely boho friend from Vancouver, WA. She's the mom of 3 boys and Clara, the "mom" of our group has 2 beautiful kids in college and lives in San Clemente, CA. Both were my roomies and beloved team sisters.
#candicrushers
Tanya, Katie, me, CEO Chantel, Clara, Lanie and Amanda are all special to me. Our team of 50+ women are consistently in the TOP 20 national teams for sales. Katie, Clara and I have been on Amanda's team since the beginning.
Top notch planning
The resort was beautiful and the SOAR team made the entire experience easy to manover. They provided us snacks throughout the weekend, lunches, dinner and a special White Soiree party. Lots of fabulous gifts from the new Amalfi Coast collection greeted us every morning.
"Look closely at the present you are constructing - it should look like the future you are dreaming." - Alice Walker
Portico Convertible earrings
A top seller already - these earrings have recently been featured in People Mag's Style Watch mag. $52 for the only pair of earrings you will need on your vacation.
Two bracelets flying out the door!
Don't miss the Capri toggle. It's the hottest piece of the Amalfi Coast collection. Seriously! The Portico fringe is a close second. Both are perfect for your summer easy style.
Can't take them off
These rings are like heaven. I rec'd them almost a week ago and they've been right next to my car keys for days! They go with everything and so easy to wear. I've had multiple compliments daily ... you NEED these in your life!
June Pop Up incentive
I have a few dates available for June pop ups. I am available during the week and a few weekends so hit me up for a quick Pop up with your friends!
All we need is a date, 2 hours, and some friends who love to shop. I'll do the rest.

Amalfi Coast Collection
This collection is so much more than some pretty summer jewelry. Chantel and her design team has developed Chloe + Isabel into a Lifestyle brand that helps tell the story of our jewelry collection.
Earlier this spring, Chloe + Isabel took you on a tour of Rome with our From Rome with Love catalog. We continue our trip to Italy by moving down South to the Amalfi Coast, to the vibrant cliffside village of Positano, to the rocky isle of Capri, the smell of the lemon groves and the beautiful blue seas of the Mediterranean.
You just can't get the full appreciation of the jewelry designed to make you feel like you've traveled to the warm Italian coast unless you see it in person. Schedule a time to take a look at my latest collection of pieces!
