Work From Home: Ten ways Moms can make money from Home!

Filed under: Blog, Mom Life ·

It’s no secret that this year has been one like no other. With the pandemic, businesses and schools closing, plus distance learning, moms are taking on more and more roles in 2020. Perhaps you had to quit your job or change your work schedule to be home with the kids. You may be wondering, how can I make some extra cash without leaving the house? Well, thanks to the internet and social media there has never been an easier time to make some extra money honey. Social Media Daily guides influencers on boosting their YouTube views and engagement.

Prior to Covid a lot of moms turned to direct sales and other home-based businesses to make extra money for their household. These are great ways to make some cash at your own pace and on your own schedule. Take advantage of the crypto coin presales to grow your money online. I know some moms that just do it around the holidays to earn some extra spending money.

Then I have also found that virtual offices are particularly beneficial in the flexibility that they offer, in terms of business expansion. There’s no need to relocate or invest in new property when your business grows. You can simply update your virtual office plan to suit your evolving needs. For more details on how this works, especially in a city like London, visit https://virtually-there.net/virtual-offices/london/ for an in-depth look at the options available. If you have a home office, consider adding a mat from Matshop for comfort and to keep your floors clean.

With the increase in online shopping and high demand for convenience, consumers are looking for just about everything. If you are looking for a new way to earn income here are the top 10 ways that moms can earn extra cash from home. Exploring reliable platforms through 먹튀검증 can also help ensure that opportunities pursued online are both safe and rewarding.

Filed under: Mom Life ·

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner which means that now is the time to start looking for cute sentimental gifts and buying crafts for those upcoming class parties. It is also a great time to surprise our significant other with the perfect date night. Now I know most of the time we ladies wait for the guys to plan a night on the town but what if we surprised them for a change?  

Miami is an incredible city with so much to see and offer and even though I have lived here all of my life there are tons of places that I am eager to try. So, I reached out to a few of my favorite Miami Moms and asked what their favorite spots were for the perfect date in the Magic City.

Rocksbox It!

Filed under: Fashion ·

Hello beautiful! Now you all know that I love dressing up and I love jewelry but being a busy momma of three can make accessorizing kinda difficult. With limited amount of time to get four other humans dressed I barely have time to put on my makeup let alone try to search through my old jewelry stash looking for the perfect piece. As a result, most days I just wear my same old jewelry. So I was thrilled when Rocksbox reached out and gifted me with a complimentary three month membership to share with you Sporty Mommas just how this subscription works.

 

 

Rocksbox is an amazing premium monthly jewelry service that allows users to try out gorgeous designer jewelry to spice up their wardrobe. With over 30 top jewelry designers like Kendra Scott, House of Harlow 1960, Kate Spade and my favorite Alex and Ani, there’s sure to be something for every jewelry lover!

 

 

In case you’re wondering exactly how it works, check out the process below:

  1. Sign up for a Rocksbox account (Use my promo code sportymommasxoxo for 1 FREE month)
  2. Fill out an easy style profile survey to let your stylist know what your preferences are (i.e. Do you prefer gold or silver jewelry, what style necklaces/earrings you do you like, what types of jewelry do you mostly wear etc.)
  3. Create a jewelry wishlist of 15-30 items. 
  4. Within a week or so you will receive your first box with 3 jewelry items that your stylist hand-picked for you, according to your style profile and wishlist. Each box will contain at least 1 wishlist item in it.
  5. Once received, enjoy wearing your jewelry for as long as you like and when you’re ready, either purchase items or send them back in the provided envelope for a new box.
  6. Provide feedback on the items in each box, so that your stylist will continue to choose great pieces catered to your preferences in your boxes.
  7. If you want to continue after the initial FREE month, for a $21 monthly fee, you get to enjoy these pieces AS LONG AS you wish on loan. You can try different styles with no commitment. It’s like having an unlimited jewelry box always filled with new goodies.
  8. You also have the option of purchasing the pieces you receive with a discount off of retail price, if you are like me and just gotta have it.

 

And that’s it! It is so quick and easy and I must confess I love getting my pretty little box in the mail full of surprise pieces. We moms deserve something for us too! If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below. Happy shopping!

 

XO,

January Lovin’

Filed under: Mom Life ·

Can you believe that January is almost over? It seems like every time that I blink it is Friday. But hey I am not complaining at all. This year is off to a very hectic start and to be honest with you all I am just trying to keep my sh%t together. I have been decorating part of our home for almost a year now but you can’t really tell. Everything is moving so slow. I have window treatments up in one room, missing in another, the bar cabinets are missing and well there’s stuff everywhere.  I have hired two interior designers since March and well things just never seem to go as planned. But I guess that is how life goes. I am learning to be patient and to trust my gut. (Side bar: I should have ordered the sofa back in September lol) I also want to have a flyscreens ballarat in my window to enhance its look and provide additional protection.

On a happier note, I have decided to read a book a month and I am proud to say that I am on my second book of 2019 already! I am currently reading “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a f$ck by Mark Manson. It is not exactly how it sounds and even though I am only on Chapter 3, I highly recommend it.  I also challenged myself to try one new thing every few months and this month I took a boxing class at Sucker Punch Gym. The boxing and fitness studio is fairly new and located near the Falls. They offer personal training, boxing, spinning, yoga and there is a fully equipped gym located next door. It was so much better than I thought it would be and I must admit that I felt a huge sense of freedom punching the hell out of the bag. Have you ever tried boxing?

I hope that your week was amazing and I want to encourage you to do something for yourself this weekend.  Maybe book a spa day, take a class or buy yourself a new pair of undies cause I know we mommas are always looking out for everyone else. (You deserve new undies too) Here are a few other things that I am loving this month. Let me know if you have tried any of them.  Have a fabulous weekend!!!!

Must Have Makeup:  Becca Ultimate Concealer

Favorite Scent: Louis Vuitton Attrape-Reves

Designer: Marchesa’s designs have caught my eye over the past month. I love the bright colors, lace and flair these days. Normally I would never wear something like this but this is the year of trying new things!!!!

Shake it Off

Filed under: Fit Moms, Mom Life, Recipes ·

Happy Friday beautiful people! I have been slowly working on my vision board. When I see something that pops off of a page I cut it and save it into my “vision” folder. Hopefully by the end of the month it will all come together. One thing that has been on my list for the past few years is Health and Wellness. I must confess that I have picked up a few more pounds than I wanted to and now I need to find a way to shake them off because bikini season is right around the corner. Do you feel me?

After talking to my friends and reading up on a few different products I decided to go with 22 Days Nutrition to help me reach my goal of losing five pounds ASAP! Two weeks ago I purchased the 22 Days Plant Based Protein Powder in Vanilla and a box of Carmel protein bars. Thanks to our best friend Amazon Prime it was here next day and I got started right away. So far I am loving the taste of the products and I have dropped 2 pounds. I must add that eating out over the weekend did not helped me lol but I jumped right back on the program Monday morning.

I know that the key to this wellness journey is finding balance between diet, mindfulness and to incorporate exercise daily. It is true what they say about your metabolism slowing down the older you get and well for the first time in my life I really feel like I have to work to lose this weight. Consider trying Down to Earth Organics for low-calorie snacking options—they’re great for supporting weight loss while satisfying cravings guilt-free. So if you are struggling too, don’t feel bad. Grab your headphones turn on your favorite playlist and let’s shake this off. Below is one my favorite smoothie recipes!

Acai Smoothie

  1. 1 cup Malk Milk Vanilla
  2. 1 scoop 22 Days Nutrition Vanilla Protein Powder
  3. 1 cup 365 Frozen Tropical Fruit Mix
  4. 1 pack Sambazon Acai pouch
  5. Blend and enjoy
