Virtual Pampering Session

Because self-care is so important, I began doing monthly sessions virtually.  In a time where we feel so distant, it's a great way to accomplish self-care and connection virtually at the same time.  It's done a world of good for me, and I hope you see the benefits of it as well.  Text me at (313) 686-2382 or message me here to get more information or for assistance in signing up and purchasing your pampering kit.

I've strategically placed it right after Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Small Business Saturday for a reason.  Kits must be ordered by Sunday, November 15th to ensure timely delivery.  I cannot wait to share this time with you.  Hope to see you there!

Thank you for your order LGS

I appreciate you!  Your satisfaction is important to me and I will watch your shipment as it moves to you.  I will be in touch in a few weeks to make sure the shipment arrived and there are no issues.  I look forward to getting to know you better.  I love getting to know my customers, and most have become friends over time.
As you wait, if you have questions, I am here to help.  Feel free to respond to my email or message me on Facebook at Jen, Lemongrass Spa Lady.  I'll talk to you again soon.

Sincerely,

👋 Hello and Welcome 👋

This page was created to contain all of the information you may need to get started on your own health and wellness journey.  We are only a click away and would be honored to share tools and programs to help you obtain the life for which you've been wishing.

💁 To follow our health and fitness journey, check us out on Facebook

We have used a 3 prong approach on our journey which includes:

1. FITNESS: I know what you are thinking.  It's the same thing I thought for YEARS!  I can lose weight without it, who wants to be tortured like that.
2. NUTRITION:  Yup, we ditched sodas and fast food. I know it doesn't sound appealing where you are NOW, but if you just trust us, you'll feel better and before you know it, you'll have zero desire for it!  It doesn't mean you have to eat like a bunny rabbit!  We treat ourselves as well - we've got you!
3. SUPPLEMENTATION:  It is impossible to eat everything you'd need each day to give your body every vitamin and mineral it needs in a day.  That's why supplementing is beneficial to achieve maximum results.  One way we have supplemented can be seen below - one shake a day full of dense nutrition your body needs.  Take a look at this video to see it's benefits.

Crazy Chaotic Quick Self-Care Tips

The honest, hard truth for me is that I have allowed my cup to get to (and run on) empty for way too many years.  If we sat down together and paused to really think about and discuss exactly how often we "take care" of ourselves, I think you would be surprised at how little time you actually spend.  Ok, you brush your teeth and wear clothes everyday. 👏 That's awesome!  But if that is the only time you dedicate for yourself, you are doing yourself a huge disservice.  And lying to yourself doesn't change the facts.  Do you hear me?  I know you just read that, but did you let it sink in?  (it's ok, reread as many times needed for it to resonate).

Getting honest with myself was the step to understanding just how little I do for me.  We all have the same 24 hours, it's what we do with them, right?  By now, if you've read anything else of mine, you know a little about my crazy chaos with 4 children, a husband gone 3/4ths of most days between work and school.  As I hop back into my minivan for the umpteenth time to drop off or pick up a child from their activities while being serenaded by loud obnoxious toddler toys, clanging and blaring, it can start to feel a bit like groundhog day, minus 'a bit'.  I'm talking (with this pouty face in full effect😡) "What?  We have to eat dinner again tonight?" I'm talking adult-style tantrum coming out in .01 seconds because it's time to make another meal or do another load of the never fully finished pile of laundry (you know you've been there too).  Stop running on empty, just barely making it to the next "to-do" on your list (My to-do list feels like a scroll and I literally just told my husband last week it felt like my scroll is 3 blocks long, impossible to see EVERYthing at once).  I am going to share with you some of my favorite ways to spend time on myself so I don't have to fight the desires to move to my own island and write off civility as a whole.

First of all, how much time do you have?  Most days, I'm lucky to comprehend devoting 5-10 minutes.  This is where you shine like a rockstar when you 'squeeze' it in.  You are actually telling yourself that you love yourself and YOU are worth some of your own time too.  You might even start to like yourself more.  My favorites in this time crunch are as follows:  

🍵Make yourself a tea or coffee, paying attention to small details helps, like which mug you use. 
⤳Get fancy and while it steeps or brews, wash your face or treat your hands to a spa-like softness with a body polish 
💧*Mix your pamper time in with your regular shower time, and apply serum afterwards with a jade roller to relieve a little stress/tension. 
👃Using a roller on your face in general just feels so right, relieves tension, improves circulation and is a lifesaver if you are prone to sinus infections like me.
💪Roll out your muscles or stretch extra (especially after a hard workout), use a wand massager or give yourself a mini massage (especially if I have a headache, I'll apply a little headache relief blend of oils and massage it into my temples - I legit carry this in my purse so I can do this at any onset of headache) on your forehead, hands or feet. 
🛄Organize and declutter spaces you spend time
👀Read (a chapter, a poem, a paragraph - something)
🎹After a hard workout, recover your muscles with recovery balm while listening to soothing relaxing music.
⌚Do a relaxing breathing exercise (using a smartwatch or following a YouTube video)
📎Post your favorite quote that brings you back to center and read it
😃LAUGH (there are so many benefits and release that comes with this).
🐦Get into nature or observe nature (bird watch, or take in what you hear, see, touch, hear and smell)
🏃Do a 10 minute or less exercise challenge or just move your body in general.
👄Affirm yourself (say something positive or give yourself applause for an accomplishment, etc.).

Really, the list grows as you stop to think about what you could do for yourself that you would enjoy.  Try to make it a game, which takes it from another to-do on that scroll to something fun that you look forward to.  I promise you, this little tweak can make all the difference.  What do you love?  Start there and incorporate it at least once a month.  Then, aim for twice a month, once a week, etc.  I love to find ways to get two of these in, when possible.  Build momentum until it becomes a habit and then never break that habit!  YOU are worth it!  I hope you'll be inspired to take some time for yourself TODAY!

Crazy Chaotic Info :)

Hello!  I am a stay at (and work from) home mom to 4 children ranging from 13 - 1 years of age at the time of writing this.  Life is crazy, chaotic and I wouldn't choose anything different for my life if I could.  My family means the world to me, which is why I began my journey with Direct Sales more than 5 years ago.  I love being able to contribute to the needs of our family while still being able to be around for each of the children every day.  Granted, lately, I'm feeling like a free taxi cab service where stressfully full calendars and on-the-run-every-moment-of-the-day is norm, I choose to love this season of life, because I know it won't be here forever.

I have made amazing friendships along the way and I absolutely love life!  My Crazy Chaotic endeavors are listed below (and I'd love it if you follow, if you are interested.  I'll attach the links first and then share why each is so very special to me and my family).

So, almost 6 years ago this month, and staring down the barrel of a new life that didn't include my beloved mother, I became what I so long resisted ... a bag lady like my mother.  It was so personal and I am so honored that I am still able to serve in this capacity.

Then, a few years after that, I attended a tea tasting that blew my mind.  I HATED tea, except for the delicious flavorful tea at tea rooms.  THIS STUFF WAS TEA ROOM QUALITY and was so delicious, my entire family loved it.  It helped us cut sugars and sugary drinks from our diet, and I drink most teas today with absolutely nothing added.  I liked the natural, safe qualities of not having junky chemicals (like the sodas I was drinking) on top of the added benefits that I learned tea offers.  It's amazing stuff, and if you like it (or even if you don't) you've gotta try it!  Message me if you'd like to try it.  We also offer an incredible fundraiser, each item priced at just $12 and you get 40% return. It’s unique and has brought some schools in my areas much needed funds, and I love that I was able to help the communities raising our next generation.

Just when I felt like that was crazy enough, I met another company that rocked my world so hard, I jumped in with both feet and don't regret one second of it.  Lemongrass Spa was a company committed to creating body care products that were safe and toxin free.  Healing Elements started my journey when I couldn't get rid of my dry, winter feet and the stuff softened and cleared it right up.  My daughters eczema, virtually gone with use.  Burns my husband got on the grill at work, healed quicker with less scarring.  We were SOLD, and as we tried more products, we just kept being amazed.  I serve so many people that also have amazing stories of help with ailments or notably better skin, etc.  Nothing but natural, safe goodies that help me feel pampered when I use them, and often times double as my self-care.

Last, but not least, over a year ago, Hubby and I started (yet again) on our journey to health and wellness.  We quickly decided to go public with #TeamRussell to help others start or stay the course on their own journey.  We seriously do not know HOW we would be able to keep up with 4 children or the grueling schedule we have entered without the combination of better nutrition, moving our bodies in ways that felt impossible when we started and supplementing with what our bodies need.  I still feel like a free taxi service, but I have the energy to keep up, cook meals every day and so much more.

We give the biggest shout out to our friends and family, without which we would be at a deficit.  We are surrounded by the best community of supporters and are forever grateful!  Reach out if we can be of assistance to you.  God bless and Happy Fall!
