Through God&#8217;s strength, they&#8217;ve built a family of individuals who feel women deserve to treat themselves and those around them to something special. That mission is at the center of everything they do as a company. \u00c2\u00a0They try to empower women and help them become a Proverbs 31 women. \u00c2\u00a0These are their core values:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Our_Values.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3831\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/life\/thirty-one\/attachment\/our_values-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Our_Values.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1650,1275\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Our_Values\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Our_Values-300x231.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Our_Values-500x386.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3831\" src=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Our_Values-500x386.jpg\" alt=\"Our_Values\" width=\"500\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Our_Values-500x386.jpg 500w, http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Our_Values-300x231.jpg 300w, http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Our_Values-388x300.jpg 388w, http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/wp-content\/uploads\/Our_Values.jpg 1650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anyway&#8230;after a year, I decided to host a party for my friend who sold it and I am so glad I did. \u00c2\u00a0It was so much fun. \u00c2\u00a0I just had a few snacks and invited some friends and we had a great girls time. \u00c2\u00a0Plus, since I was the &#8220;hostess&#8221; I got to ear some free products. I got a ton of products for FREE, just for hosting. \u00c2\u00a0I loved it so much, that I decided to join and become a consultant myself.<\/p>\n<p>Since I went part-time at work after having Harper, Jonathan has been working more and doing more freelance so\u00c2\u00a0I wanted to help out so he doesn&#8217;t have to do as much. \u00c2\u00a0This offers me an opportunity to help out financially and take some of the work off his back. \u00c2\u00a0Family is our number one priority and if one of us is working too much, they don&#8217;t get to spend as much time with family. \u00c2\u00a0This way we can divide it up and still enjoy our family.<\/p>\n<p>My goal with my new business is to do 3-4 parties a month. \u00c2\u00a0This not only will help us in our goal, financially, but also help me get out and meet some awesome new ladies. \u00c2\u00a0As women, we need those relationships with other women, we are built for that. \u00c2\u00a0I hope to get out of my circle of friends (and stop bugging them to host \ud83d\ude09 ) and meet new ladies who will want to host parties and have a fun girls night out (or in).<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in hosting a party or joining my team visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mythirtyone.com\/forney\" target=\"_blank\">my thirty-one consultant page<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0Or you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/bagtopia\/\" target=\"_blank\">join my Facebook group<\/a> to view giveaways and our monthly specials. \u00c2\u00a0Or you can simply <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mythirtyone.com\/forney\" target=\"_blank\">view our catalog online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I will periodically post some pictures of products on here and some of their uses. \u00c2\u00a0These products have so many uses, not just what its intended for!
