Friday Confessions

This post contains affiliate links.

ONE. Spark. I am seriously loving it!

For those wondering, yes, I used to take and sell Plexus Slim but it never really did anything for me. I know tons of people who the Plexus products have done amazing things for but I am just not one of them. I took my products consistently but I never felt the “boost of energy” and it never got rid of my sugar cravings. I think I wanted it to work for me so badly that I kept wasting my time and money on a product that didn’t work me and I am more disappointed in myself than anything.

A sweet friend I work with sells Advocare and gave me a few samples of Spark and I immediately felt the energy rush and I didn’t crash in the afternoons like I always do. I am seriously in love with Spark. I ordered the big tub of Fruit Punch Spark and have ordered the little packs of Grape, I have heard good things about the Grape but I haven’t tried it yet because it’s always sold out!

TWO. This Tory Burch bag. I ordered it from Nordstrom and was so super excited to get it in, OMG!!! my first Tory bag,  but I was highly disappointed to see that the straps are so short. It fits right under my armpit. Ugh. I’m sending it back and am now on the search for another bag.

THREE. I am so over school. I feel like I say this all the time but I am seriously over it right now. I have two big projects due and two exams in my accounting class. I only have two weeks left. I can do it!!! Maybe…

FOUR. Magic Springs. I have my season pass and I am ready for summer time to get here so I can go lay by the wave pool all day on my days off. That’s all I want to do all summer.

FIVE. I am still loving my essential oils. I made a bunch of roller balls to carry with me in my bag and I love sharing them with other people!! The Grapefruit and Lemon (not rollerballs) I love putting gin my water and drinking (glass water bottles only!), the Lemon/Lavender/Peppermint is for allergies, ClaryCalm is for that time of the month, Peppermint is for headaches, DigestZen is for upset tummies, Deep Blue is for sore muscles, and Citrus Bliss makes me happy!

    I have never been much for energy drinks myself. But, I love the purse! The colors just seem to pop!

    I love Spark. Fruit punch and mango strawberry are my favorite flavors so far, but I just ordered pink lemonade. It’s so good.

    I just recently discovered Spark, as well & love it!!! Grape is delicious & Cherry is too. I’m usually not a grape or cherry type of person, but love it in Spark. My favorites are: Mango Strawberry, Cherry & Grape.

    I dont think I’ve ever tried an energy drink. I just stick to my water or soda even though it’s so terrible for me! My confession today is I’m so glad it’s Friday I’ve had a horrible week.

    I really need to get on the essentials oils bandwagon, I know the benefits just never the time to buy what I will like. I hate bags with short straps hope you find a better one

    That is such a shame about your bag. I hate when stuff like that happens. That is why it is so hard to order online sometimes.

    I love Spark. I have been an Advocare fan for years. I was a distributor back in the early 90s and in those days when I first started there was about 100 , give or take. Its so awesome to see how far the company has come and the new Spark flavors, too.

    I always seem to have that problem with energy drinks, I never get that rush. That bag looks awesome, shame on the short straps I like having them longer too.

    I completely am with you on being over school, summer vacation cannot come fast enough. I’m obsessed with carrying cuticle oil with me in my bag throughout the seasons, they make my hands feel so soft.
