Here I am...take it or leave it!

Alright, I figured it was about time to make a lens all about yours truly.....ME!!!

Hmmm, where to start?? I know you are all probably so curious about how I came to be exactly where I am this day, this minute, this second. Let's start from the beginning shall we ;) Just kidding. That would take maybe 5 minutes to read, and I know your attention spans are half that.... if so ;)

Some of my Interests

So, I will first of all let you know that I am living in Canada. Born and raised on the West Coast, currently living on the East Coast. I miss BC, and will hopefully be returning soon, assuming all goes according to the master plan.
Some of my interests are: Travel, volleyball, wakeboarding, beaches, beer, music, dancing, socializing, family, friends, eating, coffee, and soooo much more, but those are the major ones. If I had all of these things I would be the happiest person in the world! I am interested in marketing. I find myself paying very close attention to commercials, and ads to see if I feel "sold" or not. When I talk to people about their interests I find myself thinking of ways for them to get their business marketed. I attended University and focused mainly in Tourism and Marketing, but would love to take a few more classes in business and entrepreneurship. I honestly believe that the only way to be financially free is to be your own boss. Somehow, someway....you gotta find what works for you.

Starting my Own Business

I have recently embarked upon that journey of being my own boss. I am a USANA Health Sciences Associate. I got involved with this particular organization because I have recently become much more cautious about what I put into my body, as well I see the potential in the Health and Wellness Industry. I see the importance of vitamins and I was able to start my business by purchasing the vitamins I would have purchased anyways. Seems like a win win for me. And as an added bonus someone I really trust told me about it, and is doing extremely well. I figured I might as well give it a shot. So far I am very happy about that decision. Here is my business website.

Hmm...Let's see, what else should I tell you about me? I love life, I love my family and I love my friends. What else could you ask for? I am one of the luckiest people in the world, and I realize that. I have traveled to South America and had such a wonderful experience and can't wait to return. I met some of the people who made me who I am today, and I love them to pieces!

I am currently in a relationship, and was lucky enough to meet the love of my life online. I think that it is becoming more and more common in todays world. I would recommend it to anyone out there.

Here is a shopping list of mine!

Here are a few of my favorite things.
Just so you know, I enjoy shopping. Probably not to the extend that some people like it, but none the less, i like it!
Here are some of the products I would buy if I were online shopping.
Actually I will probably end up buying them now. :)

Things I love!

I love sports. I would probably play anything anyone asked me to participate in.... at least once. I played volleyball in University and miss it every day. It was such a great part of my life and I am so happy that I got to experience it. I still try to play as much as I can. I love beach volleyball!!! Summers are spent mostly outdoors. I love the sun, I love the water, and I love wakeboarding! One day I hope to have a professional wakeboarding boat, if you have one...call me ;)
BEER! Now honestly, this is one of my major weaknesses. Imagine sitting on a lounge chair at the beach of your favourite lake, sitting in the hot sun....what's missing??? You got it....a BEER! Haha. I like it all year round though.
So, another interest that I didn't mention above is Personal Growth. I only recently started this journey, and am enjoying where it has taken me so far. I have been reading books that challenge my thinking and I really think it has made me a stronger person. I recommend this to anyone, but I know for some of you it sounds ridiculous. To each his own, if you decide to challenge yourself to personal growth, I admire that.

Capoeira Brazil

Brazilian Martial Art

Capoeira (cap-oh-air-a),
According to Wikipedia, Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that makes a ritual of movements from martial arts, games, and dance. It was brought to Brazil from Angola some time after the 16th century in the regions known as Bahia, Pernambuco and Rio de Janeiro. Participants form a roda or circle and take turns either playing musical instruments (such as the Berimbau), singing, or ritually sparring in pairs in the center of the circle. The game is marked by fluid acrobatic play, feints, and extensive use of sweeps, kicks, and headbutts. Less frequently used techniques include elbow-strikes, slaps, punches, and body throws. Its origins and purpose are a matter of debate, with the spectrum of argument ranging from views of Capoeira as a uniquely Brazilian folk dance with improvised fighting movements to claims that it is a battle-ready fighting form directly descended from ancient African techniques.

The Beginning of a Beautiful Squidship!

So, to end my lensography I would like to say that I would love it if you left a message. I enjoy meeting new people, and hearing what others have to say. Don't be shy. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship and don't worry.... I know how corny that just sounded, but I don't care!
Cheers!

Things I love and want to share with you

My favorite things that I own

I know each of us have our own things that make us happy, so I thought I would share some of mine.
Xavier Rudd is by far my favorite artist. His music makes me feel happy and calm. I can listen to him during any occasion.
Jack Johnson is very similar. Calming and happy music :)
I have a Itouch, which I use to listen to my favorite songs, but it is also great because I can also connect to the internet, and play games from almost anywhere!
A laptop is essential for my life. I bring it anywhere and work from anywhere. I love Mac!
