Creami Draw Alert!

July Bari Swag Giveaway
(This is the $1 per entry giveaway)

Drawing will be 7/16 on the a.m. Live at 8 a.m.

Ninja Creami Month

Good morning friends!
I’ve had many message me asking when I would resume our monthly drawings… I missed May and June… BUT I AM BACK!

NINJA CREAMI ALERT

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:

As the entries come in via Venmo, PayPal, Chime, Applepay — I add your entry to a google spreadsheet (I try to update daily)
you then can see the spreadsheets daily and you will be assigned a number for each entry… (know your numbers… winners are picked during a Live using a google number generstor!)

(NO ONE WILL EVER CONTACT YOU THAT YOU HAVE WON— AND NO ONE WILL EVER ASK YOU FOR CC INFO- these are scam artists— you always contact me via messanger with shipping info only!)

ALL entry $$ goes toward prizes… you can see the entries daily on the spread sheets… you can see who is assigned to each number you can purchase one number for one dollar or 20 numbers if you prefer— I know I have some big gamblers in the group! 💙

AGAIN ALL $$ received goes to the prizes… it’s very simple for you to look at the spreadsheet and see how much money has come in and see the value of the prizes.
Many think that I profit off of this. I DO NOT! I do this for my group members… (my original hopes were to get some lucky people to win a Creami machine that could not afford one…)

****you do not have to participate in this.. ****

If you choose not to, you do not have to make any type of comments, just scroll on if you are not interested!!

Many of my group member love this and wait monthly for it!

I have been doing this for about 6 years now, you can go back, you can look at previous posts— you can find previous winners who have posted all of their winnings. This is not a scam, and again, every penny that comes in goes toward prizes— the amount of Ninja CREAMIs rises as the prize amount rises, if I get enough entries, we’ve done as high as 17 creamis in a months time… just depends on the month!

You do not have to be present to win, winners will be posted under the feature tab on all groups… You can also go back and you can watch the replay of the live. If you look under the events tab it’s usually up for 30 days!

As we do every month, it is $1 per entry— you can enter 1 or multiple…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️each if my subscribers recieve 1 automatic entry paid by me- i add these on the last day⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
All entries will posted daily on a google spread sheet which I update daily… on the spread sheet you will be assigned a number — the winners are picked with a random number generator on live… you are entering for the main prize—
A Ninja Creami protein ice cream maker!

(Best kitchen piece for those struggling to get in your protein… protein icecream for the win)

Good luck to all!

Cucumber Salad💙
I'm a huge sour cream buff so you can see why I love this one...
You start with 6 large cucumbers peel them... Then use a mandolin and slice them thinly...
If you like onion slice in half a vadalia onion thinly...
Mix well... Now put about a quarter cup of salt on these... And refrigerate ... For at least an hour...
Then pour into a collander ... The salt pulls out the water from the cucumbers... Now pour over these white vinegar... (Still in the colander) kind of rinses the salt... New let drain for about 10 minutes... Then press down...to push out any liquid...
Place them in a Tupperwear container and add about a cup of sour cream... Mix well then 1/4 cup of vinigar... 💙💙💙 taste it... If it needs salt add a bit... Enjoy... These are my fave. Summer side💙💙 enjoy!

Let Them hoodies💙

I just filled a huge order of let them swestshirts- I do have a few extra.
I have four peach hoodies with the white writing. I have two peach hoodies with the gold writing and I have four white hoodies that you could possibly pick the color you’re interested in for the writing… all in XL

$25 plus shipping -
If you are interested private message me along with your address I can put it into pirate ship figure out an exact total for you and I can get them out as soon as possible.

If you are curious and you do not know what the “let them theory” is— it is an amazing book by Mel Robbins.
I actually have the book I have sent it now to three people. I ask that if you’re interested in getting the book you can comment below— (comment ID LIKE THE TRAVELING BOOK) - I will pick a new person and send the book out this week as well.
I just asked that you read write a little something in it and send it back to me so that we could continue its journey and see how far the book will go.

LET THEM
Are you familiar with the “Let Them” theory?

I’ll tell you the older i get the more I am okay with accepting the “Let Them” in my own life and relationships.
Even family can mistreat and disrespect you.

This is something that took me a very long time to learn. I used to tolerate a lot because I didn't want to lose people. I learned the hard way if they were really my people they would never treat me like that. Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being repeatedly disrespected.

Let them be upset.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you,
Let them ignore you.
Let them be "right."
Let them doubt you.
Let them not like you.
Let them not speak to you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.
Whatever it is that people want to say about you, let them!
Kindly step aside and LET THEM.

The hard truth is they know how much they are hurting you. They just simply don't care. They did it knowing it could cause them to lose you. They did it anyway. People that love you care about how they make you feel.
The end.
Let them go.

There will be people that would rather lose you than be honest about what they've done to you. Let them go.

The lack of respect was the closure. The lack of apology was the closure. The lack of care was the closure. The lack of acountability was the closure. The lack of honestly was the closure. Let them go.

Make the decision to no longer sit at tables where you might be the topic when you get up. Let them go.

You can still be kind. You can even still love them deeply. But do it from the distance they created in their words and actions. Access to you is a privilege they have proven they can’t be trusted with. Let them go.

You don’t need to tell your side of the story. God already knows. Let God fight the battle for you. Let them go.

It’s taken me a long time to get here. Sleepless nights, countless tears, managing a range of emotions filled with anger, disappointment, confusion and deep hurt. Lots of self reflection, self preservation, deep prayer and seeking wisdom from those much wiser than me.

If you are struggling with this please know you are not alone. We will never understand why hurt people hurt people. But we can do the hard work to grow ourselves. Because healed people do in fact heal people.

Don’t you dare let them steal your joy.
Don’t you dare let them steal your light.
Don’t you dare let them steal your peace.
You are in control of that.

Hold tight to what you can control and release your grip on what you can’t control…..

Let them go. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Simply grab yourself one apple of your choice —core it, clean it , chop it up.

#1 Taco Tuesday Recipe

Taco Cups 💙

Throughout my 8 year journey I’ve probably made these 500 times! It’s one of my favorite Taco Tuesday recipes… and I repost it often because we always have new people joining us!

Taco Cups...🌮🌮

Line your cupcake tins with 2 WONTON wrappers... (you will find these in the produce section refrigerated by the tofu)— a serving is usually 5-7 you are eating 1 — the carbs are minimal!
If you want them, super crispy, put them into your cupcake tin and pre-bake them for about 10 minutes. You’ll get them even more crispy than just filling them and baking.
I like to fill mine with refried beans, cheese, taco ground meat (turkey or beef) Then another sprinkle of cheese...
Bake for about 15 min at 350!
Top with your favorite taco toppings... I use my muffin tin to make bigger ones for my kids they love them too... you can use several wonton skins or 1 eggroll skin in the bigger muffin tin... 💙💙 (just be careful the eggroll ones are high carb numbers)
I also life using the carb smart street tacos rather than the wontons!
Enjoy your Tacos today!

Crustless Pizza
Or
PIZZA CASSEROLE

Fridays in my home have always been pizza night!

Pizza Casserole... make it YOUR Own...
I see so many at 1,2,3,4 months... complaining I WANT PIZZA... the best part of the pizza is the toppings...
In a 9x13 dish... or smaller if your cooking for 1💙...
Layer pizza sauce... (or whatever sauce you love... i know many of you love RAOS... I usually make my sauce... but for the pizza casserole I buy pizza sauce in the can... tastes more like pizzeria pizza...)
Layer sauce... then YOUR favorites... I saute some onions and mushrooms...
I put a Layer of that... then a layer of my meats... I usually do sausage, bacon, and pepperoni...
Cook the sausage and bacon and drain the grease...
(I'm a Supreme lover) then drizzle some more sauce...
today I added a little cottage cheese for the creamy factor-,it melts right in, you can't even taste it!
Then top with mozzerella and pepperoni slices... sometimes I throw on a few black olives💙
Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes. Check every 10 minutes until it looks bubbly💙

New find!
Mission Carb Balance Pitas

Yum! Great Pizza vessel or Hummus💙
I put my little pizza together and I put it in the oven at 400° for about seven minutes perfection the crust is nice and crispy super yummy!

Again, to my friends that are in high loss time. If You’re trying to lose as much as you possibly can, you maybe just had surgery, you’re in that first year to year and a half , please stay away from the net carb idea.
This is a great pizza alternative if you’re in your maintenance phase💙 If you’re early on and you’re craving pizza, make the pizza casserole bypass the crust for now until you get to your maintenance - not because you cannot have it, but because you should make things as easy as possible for yourself- stick to low carb while you’re trying to lose💙 it works!
