Join My Team--Earn Money From Home!

2009-06-10T10:36:00.003-05:00

Being a Mia Bellas Distributor is an easy way to earn extra income from home. Everyone loves candles !

Do you have a candle obsession, like me?

I have been selling these candles for only several months and it has definitely put some extra cash into my pocket. They are made from all natural vegetable wax, are nearly soot-free, and have an amazingly strong scent. They are not like the parrafin candles, in the sense that they are easy soap & water cleanup. This easy money maker is for anyone looking to make some cash without putting out a bunch of cash to get started. Its super easy and there is not minimum to meet, or anythng. All you have to do to become a distributor is signup for "Candle of the Month" autoship program, which is $39.95 per month. With that membership, you will get the candle Scent for that month in a large jar and 12 votives, plus a bath soap bar in alternating scents that you can use for yourself or turn around and sell.

The company also sets up an online purchasing website for you and they maintain the whole site. Plus, you will get wholesale pricing on all of their products, which is worth it in every way even if you just want to feed your own candle fettish. You determine the price markup for your candles that you sell and the rest is history.You will be surprised at how easy these candles sell themselves to your friends and family, just by burning one in your home.

The candle business is one of the biggest industries in the US and its fun!--you even earn 5-10% of all sales under you. The company just came out with several new lines over the past few weeks. These are expected to go over really well. If you are interested in learning about this, please e-mail me or visit www.bellascents.scent-team.com for all of the details.

Meet the new Mr. & Mrs. Michael Oliver

2009-04-21T23:05:00.008-05:00

I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful wedding of the lovely Lenora Stark and her prince charming, Michael Oliver. They had a StoryBook wedding on April 11th at the Houmas House Plantation. The grounds were amazing ! I had never seen such a beautiful place and a couple that was so in Love....

I had my good friend, Tricia, help me out. I am so glad that I did. She covered the guys and I covered the girls and we were all over the plantation grounds in the short amount of time that we had to get a ton of photos taken, but we did it...and my poor Mom came along to help, and I had her running everywhere.

Congratulations You Guys ! ---Holly

Easter Photo Day at Snicker Doodles

2009-03-18T09:29:00.003-05:00

Thanks to all of you who participated in the annual Easter Photo Day at Snicker Doodles. As usual, it was a very busy day for me as I captured many cute smiles. Here are a few cute faces.

Emergency Bridal Shoot

2009-03-10T09:57:00.008-05:00

As many of you know, I don't do too many weddings unless they meet my specifications of being outdoors and not too big, but Amanda called me last week desperate. Her wedding was in 2 weeks and her photographer had bailed on her. I had done her Senior pictures the year before and was happy to have the oppurtunity to help her out. I was already booked with another bride for the date of her wedding, but was able to help her out for her bridal pictures.....She was so beautiful !

I Love this one ^

All Done !

Braylee and Daddy went to the Father-Daughter Sweetheart Dance !

2009-02-23T19:50:00.005-06:00

I wanted to share some precious photos with everyone of my husband and daughter from a charity Daddy/Daughter Sweetheart Dance. Braylee thought she was something all dressed up to match her Daddy.

My latest Lovebirds

2009-02-23T19:26:00.004-06:00

Samantha & Tyler were such a cute couple!

He did anything that Samantha asked him to do, which is strange for most guys, but the catch was that Samantha had to dress in his favorite sports attire for the final photos. He is a big Texas Longhorns Fan !!

Notes from her underbelly!

2009-02-15T23:05:00.004-06:00

Look at this cute expecting mommy that I photographed last week.....Baby Michael is expected to arrive in April

Congratulations you guys !

What a FUN Party to Photograph!

2009-01-09T17:10:00.007-06:00

I took pictures at a recent work Christmas Party and I have to share with everyone how much fun this bunch was. I had never seen a group of co-workers that have so much fun together at a "work " party.

All of my past employers' parties were so formal and drab, but this one was just an awesome and well planned evening of Fun. There was dancing, food, a bartender, and even a dance floor and DJ...... All employers should use this party as a guide for future Christmas Parties.

The LCTA crew having fun

January's New Candle Scent

2009-01-09T17:04:00.003-06:00

This month's new candle scent is Wildflowers.

I wasn't sure how I was going to like it at first..."Was it going to be too sweet?.."Would it smell too flowery?". The shipment came in today and I love it! Its a very clean, pleasing smell, it kind of reminded me of "old timey" flower fields or Little House on The Prairie.

Description: Sweet floral notes with enriching green and airy notes. A perfect wildflower garden.

I am done for the year..

2008-12-21T11:02:00.002-06:00

It is just a few days before Christmas and I am officially done for the 2008 year. Thanks to all of you for making this my most successful year yet ! I am off (on the photography side) for the month of Januray to catch up on some stuff around my house. I have some curtains to make and a bedroom to paint among a lot of other tasks that I have been putting off....so I will be quite busy with these things.

Photography appointments resume in February. Spring is very busy for outdoor pictures so make sure to contact me early if you need some photos taken.

Happy Holidays and I hope that Santa is good for everyone and the New Year is even better!

Snow in Louisiana ??? WOW

2008-12-11T19:40:00.007-06:00

Can Ya'll beleive it!! SNOW Today it snowed here in Louisiana...the first time in about 20 years. It was a blast and truly a photographer's dream. I know my poor camera was thinking, "What are you doing crazy lady?..Its freezing out here,"..but I had to do it, I just couldn't resist. We don't see SNOW often... My daughter, Braylee had so much fun playing in the snow and making snow angels. I even drug out my Christmas Sled that I use in my Christmas Pictures and gave it a try. When I bought it a few months bac as a "prop" I never thought that I would actually use it for snow, but we did!

Happy Holidays

Mia Bella's Candles

2008-10-27T13:07:00.006-05:00

I am also an independent distributor for Mia Bella's candles and other scented products. These candles are awesome and smell wonderful ! I have a candle obsession so when I found these, I knew I must help others find out about them, too. I personally, compare them to Circle E candles, but better. They are all natural and virtually soot free, unlike most of the others on the market. They have nearly 100 scents to choose from, and they are always adding new ones.

If you are interested in purchasing some, or want to host a candle party to earn free products, or lookng for something different to sell for a fundraiser, other than food, candy, or raffle tickets..contact me !

These make great Holiday gifts for teachers, Mom's, and anyone else who loves to make their home smell wonderful!
