Life in the Stone household is about to get a little crazier. I have decided to become my own boss lady by joining a dry nail polish company! I’m sure you’re thinking, “What in the world is that? And why are you adding ONE MORE THING to your plate?!?!” I asked the same things!! Haha!

Let’s start with the WHY!

First, why not? When I looked at the numbers, there was little to no risk for me. It’s a product I like and that I’ll use, and the fee to join was less than the retail value of the product received, so even if I never sell a thing, I haven’t lost money. As far as a direct sales company, the commission structure is easy to understand, and you truly are in control of how much or little you earn. I’ve been in direct sales before, and this is a company and product that I feel like I can stand behind. I’m actually really excited about the opportunity.

Second, as DJ and I have built up The Blended Bakery, I’ve been able to see some of my personal strengths and the value that I add to our business. No, I don’t cook much, and I don’t enjoy working on the trolley very much. BUT, I am GREAT at networking and marketing. I have a heart to help others succeed in their own businesses, and I can lead a team working together towards a common goal – building a business.

Third, I don’t think it’s any secret that I have struggled to bond with my stepkids. Time is a precious commodity with them, and with everything we’ve had going on in our lives, it’s usually not me they want to spend time with. But, three of our four girls LOVE doing their nails and they are SO excited about this polish. I’m praying that it will be an opportunity for us to bond and to experience positive memories together.

Fourth, with all the work we’ve put into The Blended Bakery, it has been easy to put myself on the back burner. I miss relationships with the women in my life. I miss connecting with ladies on a personal level, sharing life experiences, and just truly connecting with people. This gives me an opportunity to spend time with my current friends as well as to make new friendships and to build my own community of positive ladies building each other up!

So now let’s talk about the WHAT.

What is dry nail polish you ask??? Let me tell you.. it is THE best nail polish on the planet! And the thing that makes it stand out the most is just how easy it is to apply!

If you know me, then you know I am #theblendedmama – with six kids in total. Mom to a daughter and son, stepmom to three girls and a boy. My hubby came to the marriage with even more nail polish than I did, and we’ve continued to add to the stash over the years. We have SO many bottles of polish in this house.

Don’t worry, you’ll still see me with the trolley and I’ll still be promoting The Blended Bakery. You just might notice a little extra bling to my fingers.
