It's happening..I'm .....

Moving OUT! 

At the ripe old age of 27, yes that's right I turned the big 2-7 yesterday (Check out my instagram for Birthday Pics).  Anyhow, I degress I will be moving out of my grandparents home and into my home as of the first weekend in May. I've lived in a lot of places in the last few years: with my mom, with my boyfriend, on campus, with my dad and then finally with my grandparents. I've been with my grandparents a few years now and while I feel really blessed to see them daily and live with them. However, the time has come for me to move out and atleast try to survive life outside the nest.  I wasn't planning to move out into next year when I had all my debt paid off, however my dad has two houses; the house he lives in with my step mom and his bachelor pad.  The bachelor pad is on the market but not selling and well the marriage isn't going to hot. So in order to make his life easier and give me a little freedom I've decided to rent his bachelor pad.  I cannot tell everyone how scared I am, but maybe there isn't a perfect time for me to move out and it wasn't realistic to think I could get rid of all my debt.  I'm going to try and if it doesn't work out then I'll move back home with my grandparents. So life is going to be pretty tight for the next couple months but I'm pretty set on making this work.

With that being said I NEED everything, the house is completely empty and except for bedroom furniture I have nothing! Oh, and less then 2 weeks before I move in.  Wish me luck!

If anyone is still on the hunt for Mothers Day gifts please don't forget you can order a locket with Origami Owl and still pay standard shipping and recieve your order in time.  You can shop 24/7 365- hjanicki.origamiowl.com

Origami Owl


So I realize it's been a while since I wrote, sorry blogland friends! I, however, AM BACK!

Remember my introductions to Origami Owl a few months back? Well, it's AMAZING! I've previously signed up for other direct sales companies: Mark, Avon, Thirty One and Cookie Lee, to no avail.  Origami Owl has been wildy successful for me, not only is the product at an attainable price level and amazing quality there is literally something for EVERYONE! I wear my necklace everyday as a way to remember my mom and I love to tell my story and what exactly my locket means to me.   In the past few months I've helped share Origami Owl with many coworkers, friends and family and hope to share the Origami Owl love with all my friends on FB, instagram and blogger.  Won't you help me?  You can order online 24/7, host a catalog party (in person or online) to earn free and discount merchandise!  The process is simple: pick a locket, pick your charms, pick your chain and pick a plate and/or dangle (if wanted).

Here's a few amazing ideas!  Don't forget Mother's Day is right around the corner and there is STILL time to order and recieve your locket before Mothers Day! I suggest placing your order by 4/22 to ensure you receive your gift before mothers day.

So What Wednesday

So What Wednesday
So what..
  • I took a vacation day today since we were supposed to get a foot of snow, so far we've only gotten rain.
  • If I now only have one vacation day left currently (until I accrue more)
  • If I've waited WEEKS for a spring line release from one of my favorite online boutique stores and after waiting all day, the website crashed and I was unable to purchase anything I wanted, because it all sold out.
  • If I haven't filed my taxes yet, I still need to save the additional money to PAY to the government.  
  • This is the first time I've ever owed on taxes.
  • I had girls night Saturday night and all day Sunday I was horribly hung over, I've only ever had a hangover 2 times in my life.
  • I'm a pinterest addict, I typically check it before bed and it usually extents my bedtime.
  • I love pinning quotes and funny pictures.

A new opportunity

I cannot tell everyone how excited I am to share with you my new love.

(charms: anchor, gold sparrow, cross and aquamarine heart birthstone in memory of my mom)

Above is my new Origami Owl locket and thusly the starting of my new business. After waiting 2 months to become a designer (this company is amazing, there is a wait list of 5,000 people) I'm officially an independent designer with the company.

Anyone how knows me knows how much I love anything that sparkles, is pink or can be customized.  A girl I've known forever posted a picture of her locket on Instagram and I was SOLD!  I ordered my first locket as a gift for my step mother that included a plate with the word "family" and all of her children's birthstones.  She absolutely loves it and get's a ton of compliments. I love that they tell a story but can be changed on a wim! Total win in my book!  Did I mention they are moderately priced as well?

I cannot wait to start selling these beauties and share my love with everyone else! 

Below is my website, you are welcome to order products from there.  Please tell your friends, family, feel free to link up to this post!  If you think you might be interested in hosting an online party where you can earn free products and discounted items, please contact me.  The company is also still looking for more designers as we are only a little over one year old and I'd love to talk about the amazing opportunity.

Hello, 2013!

Happy New Year !!!!

I hope everyone had a fabulous time ringing in the new year, I spent mine very low key with my grandparents.  Honestly, there is nothing better then a group hug from both your grandparents when the balls drops!
With that being said, I'm not the type of girl to make a new years resolution.  After all who actually keeps those anyway?  Instead I'll leave you with a list of goals I have and this post as a way to keep myself accountable.
  1. Exercise/be more healthy- I will start taking vitamins daily and while I won't be joining the gym I will be trying to be more active at home/work. 
  2.  Give more- 2012 showed me just how many things I have to be blessed for and I want to give back, in 2013 I will donate more time, money and energy to others less fortunate then I.
  3. Stop wasting time- I will no longer give guys more then they give me, if they don't put in effort neither will I.  If I'm single, that's ok..I'm pretty awesome anyway.
  4. Reduce my debt-I will pay off all credit card debt in 2013. I will only have student loans and my car loan going into 2014.
  5. Build a savings/nest egg- In 2014, I plan to move out so I will need to have a substantial savings in case of emergencies and for any items for my new place.
