We’re on the Coach website

August 10, 2010 By Robyn 1 Comment

Hey amazing followers!

As you probably noticed – this website has become more poppy! I decided it would be fun to participate in Coach’s Poppy Project. I am pretty excited that robynbeazley.com is LISTED with a link on the Coach website!!

If you’re a Internet nut like me, you know having your website linked to others is a huge deal. Especially one that has as much traffic and following as COACH. It has been fun to explore the other websites participating and network with new fabulous people that just happen to be Coach fans also. 

Welcome NEW visitors to the Living an Amazing Life blog.

Hope you become an instant winner! Look for Poppy surprises in the pattern. If you spot a Coach Poppy bag, it’s your lucky day! Just click on the bag for a special gift.

Please help the poppy pattern grow by tweeting and spreading the excitement, to get our website to #1. I’d love to win the prize (so I could share the winnings with you!)

  • Make the poppy pattern bloom and grow by tweeting with either the hashtag #coachpoppy , which makes everyone’s pattern grow, OR even better, tweet using the hashtag #robynbeazley to make my pattern grow individually! (Have I lost you yet?)
  • Here’s an example tweet: “Grow, Poppy! Grow!#coachpoppy #robynbeazley http://coach.com/poppyproject”
  • The more you tweet with my hashtag (the words with # in front) the more my pattern grows.
  • Also “Like” the Poppy Project on Facebook, by clicking on the Like above the pattern on the right.

I got an email when I joined that we were ranked #189 and when I just looked to grab a couple images for this post, we had already moved up to #162. How fun!

WHO loves Coach?

I need to finish my post about my first Coach purchase with my Mom a few months ago!

To sharing #CoachPoppy,

Monday Theme Song

June 21, 2010 By Robyn 2 Comments

I heard the perfect Monday morning theme song on the radio today:

Suddenly I See by KT Tunstall

It is the opening song from one of my favorite movies, the Devil Wears Prada! This YouTube.com video is a compilation of clips from the movie with this wicked song.

I’m feeling very sassy today! Are you?

I LOVE giving things away and today I’m SO excited to announce that the WINNER of the Money $mart Mom Book Giveaway (by random draw with the bonus entries included) is Larysa Robar!

Bag Lady

April 22, 2010 By Robyn 5 Comments

I tend to tote around a LOT of stuff – my sweet better half calls all of my prized belongings doodads and my Mom calls it loot.

I’ve got better about using bags to carry around everything, instead of balancing individual prized possessions in my arms. I’m well known in my family for randomly tossing multiple pairs of shoes in my car – just in case OR hauling around a pile of papers loosely OR I may even be caught throwing a bunch of things into plastic bags (I’ve dramatically reduced how many I use nowadays). Last year I got some fantastic tips from my followers about being “greener” after posting my entry -

Nowadays, I carry more reusable bags around. This morning I laughed out loud at what I looked like. I was carrying 4 bags to my car!

They all had very important roles in upcoming day.

My purse – my first designer bag that my husband gave me for Valentines Day!

In January, I told my frugal hubby that I needed to get a new purse, as my current one was on its last thread. He informed me that I needed an upgrade when getting my next handbag! The exact words out of his mouth were “like Coach or something”. I was SO excited to get this gorgeous new Guess handbag from John!

DSCN0434

My favorite – everyday bag that carries anything and everything!!

My Tante (French for Aunt!) Louise & Uncle Marlin gave it to me when I graduated from University. It’s an ESPE (espe.ca) bag and I love it. I also love their wallets and have wore through a couple of them.

My staple – this amazing bag was our swag bag at an Arbonne conference – it is seen stuffed full (as usual).

This particular day it was carrying clothes to the seamstress (note – I’m a domestic goddess in training & delegate jobs I don’t prefer), however it often carries my laptop. I’ve been looking for a beautiful RED laptop bag (for my 17inch laptop) for awhile…if you see one…please let me know. Thanks!

My lunch bag!

This is a BRAND new bag that I got from my Mother-in-love & Father-in-love for my Birthday. It is even personalized with my name!

DSCN0419 DSCN0421

It’s an insulated lunch bag, that was mailed to me full of treats! Robin Eggs & cookies – so much fun.

Are you a bag lady/man? Do you have a favorite? Do you trade purses often OR use the same one for months/years? I’d love to hear about your collection.

Live Inspired,
Robyn

UPDATE – check out these Facebook commments/discussion that started as a result of my Facebook status about bags!! LOVE IT ;)

What are you doing Friday night?

I got this fantastic email from my friend Dana today and wanted to share it with you! I did a quick Google search and found out that it is real – he he - results here. Even if it wasn’t – I’m ALL over it.

_______________________

Just thought you should all be aware that Friday January 8th is …

National Bubble Bath Day !!!!

So enjoy your soak and the wine that goes with it on Friday after our first full week back to reality.

_______________________

I love it!! Insight on this national holiday.I just so happen to be doing an Arbonne Foot Soak and Wellness Session with 40 youth girls from our church Friday evening. After the excitement and a house to myself (hubby will be gone doing a presentation) – I’m quite sure that I’ll be able to celebrate this holiday with a bottle of Shiraz.

Are YOU going to celebrate this fabulous holiday?

Sweetness

When my marvelous man is on the road working (and I’m left Fending for Myself) – I find exciting ways to entertain myself.

I ordered a piece of cheesecake to go from the Cheesecake Cafe (surprise surprise, as you know from my Perfect Long Weekend) one afternoon this summer.

Cheesecake to Go

I went to a local park and took in the gorgeous weather.

How do you have fun alone?

Grey’s Fan

September 14, 2009 By Robyn 3 Comments

I’m a HUGE Grey’s Anatomy fan! It all started back in 2005. I was at my in-loves house watching Desperate Housewives on a Sunday night with my soul mate. It premiered just after and I quickly became a Grey’s Anatomy junkie. I even have my Mom & Dad watching it and we debrief after most episodes!

When I watch my favorite shows, I am 100% present. I jump, squeal, and laugh at all of the excitement. I’ve been told that watching my reactions can be as exciting as the show! He he…
Well…I happened to find a sneak preview of the Grey’s Anatomy season premiere that airs September 24th. Thought I’d share it with you – in case you’re as addicted as me!

W.I.N.E.

August 20, 2009 By Robyn 4 Comments

My friend Louise and I try to get together every month to discuss our personal and business adventures. Louise and I met a few years ago – when our Passion Parties careers crossed paths. A year ago, I made the difficult decision to finish that chapter of my life and focus on my Arbonne business. Despite being part of different home based businesses now, we still love to witness each others empires grow. Our schedules don’t allow us to meet as often and consistently as we’d hope, but when we get together – the wine, ideas, and fun flows freely. It’s almost like our own personal counseling session – where we coach each other to strive for new goals and share success tips.

Louise&Robyn

Since we both live full lives and have network marketing businesses, many of our diva dates are for business related appointments – consisting of home parties, appointments, and training meetings! Although we both “party” at night and on weekends for our businesses – it really doesn’t feel like work because we love what we do – however we both wanted an excuse to network with other dynamic divas off the clock. In July over a glass of vino, we decided to launch a monthly evening with our female friends. We concluded it should be enjoyed with wine and quickly came up a suitable acronym!

W.I.N.E.
Women of Intelligence Networking with Elegance

Last night, we hosted the first event at my home. It was fantastic – 7 women socializing, creating and rekindling friendships, and enjoying a girl’s night out.

Amanda&Louise   Cheryl

Connie&Nicky   Tracy&Robyn

We enjoyed a Crepe Bar and Asiago & Artichoke Dip (truly sinful!) as snacks.

Thanks to my marvelous husband for getting the house and dessert ready!! You’re truly amazing. Here John is putting wine charms on our glasses ;)

Next month – we hope to all bring a friend or two and expand our W.I.N.E. Club for more ladies to enjoy.

If you’re in southern Alberta and would like to join us the 3rd Wednesday of the month - please let us know. We created a Facebook group to share our message and invitations at W.I.N.E. Club.

As an individual you can have ideas – but as a T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More) the creativity explodes!
