A Formal Introduction

 

Greetings! 

I am Gemma, your happy peppy Tupper Rebel. I have had my Tupperware business since September of 2020. My good friend and sissy Emmy recruited me and I must admit, I was skeptical when she first approached me about it. You see, I had tried multiple direct sales companies in the past including Lia Sophia and Pampered Chef. I felt I tried to the best of my ability to succeed. I wasn't making money, getting parties, or getting anywhere. I did everything that was suggested to me but it just didn't work out. It's not the fault of the teams I was on, they just weren't for me and that is okay; however I did spend over $200 a piece in each company. I tried both companies twice but my heart just wasn't in it because I experienced no success. 

This is something I must stress. It's okay if you try something and it doesn't fit. Not everyone is going to click but I advise you, especially when you're starting your business for your main income or special income, do NOT invest more than you can especially when it's not clicking with you. You don't want to put yourself in debt when you're trying to get out of it. If it's anything I learned from those experiences is that you need to believe in yourself and push through those hurtles. That is the REAL key to success. Now to return to my earlier point, when Emmy first approached me about the opportunity, I thought, well I don't want to fail again. I recalled all my fears to start another business but then the more I thought about it, the more my love for my family demolished my fears. For them, I would try because they deserve a better life; one that would make sure they got what they need and we would have extra to do what we want. Everything I do, I do for THEM. THEY are my WORLD. THEY are MY HEART. That's why I decided to start my Tupperware business. 

In May, I promoted to Star Manager and I didn't reach my 1 year anniversary yet. Have I had bumps? Of course, I did but what business doesn't? I have a full time job working at a University library; I work my business part time; I attend school for my second Masters part time; and I am a proud mom of 2 fur babies and 3 beautiful stepchildren whom I love very much as if they were my own. YES, I'm busy. YES I'm always on the go. YES I have never been happier. This business has changed my life and through my ups and downs, my team is always here to support me when I'm ready and when I need it. 

I don't promote what I don't believe in. My Tupperware business allows me to help others whether it's as their consultant for their party AND/OR presenting them the same opportunity that changed my life. 

Another piece of advice, when something doesn't work, fix it, revamp it. It's okay if something doesn't work, at least you tried. Different outlook, different direction, and Father God, I thank YOU for showing me the way. I love you, Father. 

I hope this inspires you and also gets you excited for what's ahead because it's all uphill from here.

A Healthy Breakfast of Fruit

 The most common resolution for a new year, new month, and new day is to lose weight. I should know, I've made the same resolution several times. I can't have the same breakfast every day, it bothers my stomach. Some days I can eat scrambled eggs, other days I can't; some days I can eat avocados, other days I can't; some days oatmeal seems appealing but most days, I can't. This morning I had a breakfast that I can most definitely tolerate: fruit. I don't always have time to sit down and have a proper breakfast. Today was one of those days because I woke up late.  The fastest breakfast I could get together is grapefruit and cherries. I put them in my Lunch-It container (which is environmentally friendly being made from recyclable materials like our eco water bottles). The lunch-it container is great for portion control and for snacks.  As you can see, it was perfect for my breakfast this morning. They are really ideal for snacks, cold lunches, and fruit. It's...

How to Sweat and Not Lose a Drop

When you're not a fan of working out but you are a fan of long walks, the weather is never your friend. In the winter, it can be too cold to walk (though it's the weather I prefer) and the summer is too hot and sticky however it's not just the stickiness that gets to me. I heat up quickly, feeling all kinds of discomfort from headaches to tiredness to the swelling of my hands and feet. My oldest stepson doesn't too well either. If he's in the heat too long, he becomes disoriented, short of breath, and he can also swell up. As you can tell, with as hot as it's been, I have not gone on walks like I wanted however since I got myself the Xtreme Aqua Freezeable Bottle, I want to see how we do.  The XtremeAqua Freezeable Bottle really is amazing. I brought the bottle to my work, fully frozen. This is what it looked like by about 2, 3pm. It was sitting in my office since 8am. Usually a normal water bottle would've been completely thawed and let's face it, drunk...

Shopping on a Tight Budget (Host Edition)

  Shopping on a budget can be frustrating and downright not fun. It occurs often when you're doing this thing called adulting and if you're like me, you hope for a chance to splurge on yourself to get things you WANT instead of constantly paying for things you NEED (like paying bills).  This pandemic has not helped things. Since the reopening of businesses (those that survived the pandemic), prices have skyrocketed which I'm sure it's to help these businesses regain ground. Many are on tight budgets. Grocery shopping has even become a headache because $40 doesn't get you far even in the discounted grocery stores like Aldi's and Grocery Outlet. The average lowest grocery bill for my family of 5 is $70-$80 while the most expensive has been $160-180. It may seem low but when you take bills and other necessities into account, that's a lot to lose.  One way to save money is to use an app called Flashfood. Flashfood tells you what stores in your area has discounte...
