Twin Beds in a Guest Room?

Sunday, July 13, 2014

This has nothing to do with clean eating or fitness, but bare with me haha Ever since we moved into our new house, I've been dreaming of one of the guest rooms.
Something about the configuration and the paint color (I went with Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore) is just so romantic and girly to me.
I almost feel like I have to opt for the "Two Twin Bed Guest Room". Am I crazy?

Pros: Looks fabulous! Very versatile with guests- we do have two additional rooms that can be furnished with a Queen or King bed. When family comes to visit, this would be a great room for kids, singles, heck even married couples might appreciate their own space to stretch out lol
And there are tons of options with how to arrange the room- I like to change things up every once in awhile!
Two twins doesn't mean kiddish looking. I plan to make it very elegant and grown up chic.

Cons: Twice the linens to wash! lol

I'm torn about the confirmation of the room though...It's deeper than it is wide.  If I put the beds against the focal wall, there is less room for a dresser in between (it would have to be a nightstand instead).

If I put the beds against the longer wall, they aren't the focal point of the room and it loses a lot of the "look" I adore. 

I've been giving a lot of thought to the bed I would want in there...for some reason I keep coming back to this style. (see below) 

Restoration Hardware:
Marceline offers a more feminine take on the simplicity and restraint of late 18th-century furnishings. We employed arched details and cabriole legs to impart a sense of grace and added padded linen upholstery for lasting comfort.
So feminine and romantic! I love! 
While I love the look of all fabric & tufted headboards, I worry that they aren't as durable. How do you clean them (spot-treat please)...and as much as I love them, I think I would get tired of that style after awhile. This bed feels more timeless. 

Back to the "Two Twin Dilemma"

I found some fun inspiration on Pinterest

Who says twin beds can't be classy and grown up??

This room doesn't have a lot of sq footage, but it still looks cute and cozy! That gives me hope. It would be difficult to make these beds though...

Thoughts? Would you might staying in a guest room with twins?

Beachbody New Coach Training: 21 Day Smart Start Coaching Accelerated

Wednesday, July 9, 2014

So thankful to have Beachbody in life that I feel an OBLIGATION to share it with others & show them the ropes! 

Three & a half years ago, I was a struggling retail manager...about 20 lbs overweight...completely stressed out...overworked..underpaid & TRAPPED! No savings, no safety net...just a whole lotta stress.

Beachbody gave me my freedom, and not only that, it's afforded me a pretty incredible life, a positive outlook, AMAZING relationships and a very exciting future. While our family only consists of Jay, the animals and myself...I can rest easy KNOWING we are set up for success when we finally decide to have children 


My MOTIVATION is to pay it forward and share this blessing with others who are struggling just like I was.

I didn't have the skills or the knowledge to be a business owner...but I did have
-DRIVE
-PASSION
-MOTIVATION
-DETERMINATION
-A desire to do MORE with my life

I STRONGLY believe this opportunity has been placed in my life so that I can share it with other women. 

I am confident that I can teach you EXACTLY what I have done to build my business to the caliber that it is now... and actually teach you how to SURPASS my success!

You don’t have to have all of the pieces to be successful. It takes a special kind of person who is willing to take risks & learn as they go!
This business...the opportunity to BE YOUR OWN BOSS, is NOT for everyone

IT IS NOT FOR:
- Those who lack self-discipline.
- Those who want to take the PATH of LEAST resistance.
- Those who need structure and everything spelled out ahead of time.
- Those unwilling to step outside their comfort zone.
- Those who are unwilling to change.


You don’t have to share my exact story BUT I’m looking to connect with women who are JUST like me because I KNOW I can lead them effectively and I also know I will ENJOY working with them!  

Love my team! hehe


 If you….

- know deep down you were meant for something greater...

- want to create independence & freedom for you & your family {or future fam!} BUT also feel a calling to give back and help others!

- Want to live by DESIGN: Be your own boss- work when you want, where you want doing what you LOVE!

- COACHABLE and willing to spend a year making short-term sacrifices if it meant spending the rest of their life enjoying long-term success! 
.
If you are reading this & you hear that little voice….and your gut is telling you to GO FOR IT...I want to to hear from you! 

To be considered for the EXCLUSIVE 21 Day SMART START Training group, APPLY AT:

21 Day Fix Challenge Group: Way to go Mom!~

Tuesday, July 8, 2014

SO INCREDIBLY PROUD of my mom!! There are so many amazing qualities I get from her...my awesome good looks , sense of humor, lighthearted look at life...and some NOT so awesome things like...I'm ALWAYS late & I cannot remember DETAILS like where I parked my car **thanks mom! hahah

I started as a coach to really commit MYSELF to a healthy lifestyle. But soon after...an amazing thing happened....my journey started to inspire OTHERS. Beachbody has been such a blessing in my life- I feel incredibly lucky to be totally OBSESSED with what I do. {{BUT}} in my heart there has always been ONE person that I hoped to inspire and help...my mom.

You guys don't even understand how much it means to me to have my mom sign up as a coach and really take her health seriously. She's been through so much & has overcome so many struggles from bulimia to depression....raising 4 kids...and all od the craziness that comes with the territory of being a mom.
I KNOW she is going to not only get amazing results and FEEL BETTER....but I hope to have her around for a LONG TIME. So I'll spoon feed her Shakeology if I have to!! hahah

Anyway, check out her amazing post! If her message speaks to you and you want to join her...PLEASE reach out! I know it would mean the WORLD to both of us    Margaret Kunicki Heifner



Mom's post:

I’m a wife, mom, grandma, caretaker, active in the community, active in my husband’s hobbies...at the end of the day...there hasn't been a lot of time for ME.

For years, I’ve struggled with food and portion control. On top of food being an emotional trigger for me, I’ve had to cook different meals for the kids & Lew due to food allergies.
Not many people know this, but I’ve struggled with both bulimia and anorexia at different stages in my life which landed me in the hospital. I’m been a serial yo-yo dieter...I’ve tried every “magic pill”, weight loss product and gimmick you can think of…

I’m MORE than ready to get HEALTHY the right way and take care of myself. I want to feel good about myself & finally overcome my emotional connection to food. I want to ENJOY food & have a healthy balance in my life so I can ENJOY my life.

Lew & I are starting a PRIVATE accountability group for not only ourselves, but for anyone who has an emotional connection to food, who wants to get healthy! We can help each other, discuss what works, SUPPORT one another, and hold each other accountable.

We will be doing the 21 Day Fix program with Shakeology to learn portion control, start working out (only 30 min a day), learn how to eat healthy but tasty meals, increase energy, and feel healthier! Starting JULY 21!!

If you have struggled with weight or food and would like to join us, please message me.

How to Erase the Background of Image on PicMonkey

Friday, June 13, 2014


ABSOLUTELY love picmonkey.com!
Borderline obsessed.



Here's the crazy thing guys...I am NOT a professional. There are so many amazing pros out there who can create stunning images with fancy editing software.

Me? I'm just a normal everyday girl. A blonde entrepreneur kicking bootayyy in my business (with my sidekicks Winston & Baby Bear) because we LooOOvveee to help people --- and... we have a serious creative ITCH!  

I get a buttload of questions about PicMonkey.
How I use it, how I did "that," how much do I pay, etc. etc. etc.

1. You can do SO MUCH with the FREE version! I have the paid version because I love having so many fonts haha
2. I've been using & PLAYING WITH PicMonkey for about a year now. The more you play around with it...the more you learn.  So hop to! Just start creating!
3. There ARE tons of tutorials on youtube & picmonkey's blog

4. I'm most creative when I'm having FUN. Blast that 80's pop, throw your hair in a high pony & let the fun begin!

So....

Today, I'm teaching you guys how to:
  • Erase the Background from your pics so you can add them to fun background
  • How to create a transparent background so you can reuse that sucker over and over without having to constantly erase the same background 
Original Image


Couple things I forgot to mention in the video- 

#1 The "Undo" arrow at the top is money! Mess up? No worries- you're one click away from undoing your disaster

#2  You don't have to make the background transparent- it just makes it easier if you plan to use that image multiple times (See this tutorial if you don't know what I mean: How to Create Beautiful Images) 

If you find these helpful, please share my blog and/or pin these pics!

Good luck everyone! Prepare for the THRILL of a good online sale because this stuff is going to "fly off the shelves"  lol 


Quick Bathroom Upgrade: Curved Shower Curtain Rod

Monday, June 2, 2014

Quick Bathroom UPGRADE! I HAVE to share this with you guys because I love mine so much  

Instead of using a regular shower curtain rod...Opt for a curved shower one!
All of the sudden...your tiny shower TRANSFORMS into Narnia haha  You open that shower curtain & it feels like
 there is a supernatural amount of space. (Perfect elbow room for big guys like Jay hehe)

This simple upgrade is inexpensive & easy to install!

Worried a curved shower rod will jut into the rest of your bathroom space? You have to check out this nifty one that rotates IN when you aren't using it!
http://amzn.com/B004V9KOJS


Another nifty upgrade idea...Upgrade the knobs on your vanity! You can use something funky and untraditional like a door knocker OR just get pretty new knobs! 
(Found this on Pinterest with broken link. Not sure who to credit for the image)
Let me know if you want me to post more home decor ideas! Im going to be doing a lot of decorating when we get to our new house in Florida!
