I have a confession...

Basically what I want to say is too long for Facebook so I figured I would put it in a blog post. I really hope my friends and family especially those that already tried Plexus will read through to the end. I started plexus a couple of months after having my second baby. It worked very well and very quick and without much effort on my part at all. I lost about 20 pounds in two months and no idea how many inches because I didn't measure. About that time I started posting on Facebook. I grew a team quickly and had many customers. My third month in I was making enough to cover half of my mortgage and only a few months later I was able to cover the entire thing. This was such a huge blessing and before I had even been in Plexus one full year I was able to go from full-time down to part time and then down to PRN working three days a month. Staying at home with my kids was the only thing I ever wanted but we had to have enough money to pay the basic bills.

       Unfortunately because everything happened so quickly I honestly did not know anything about the products or the business side o unfortunately because everything happened so quickly I honestly did not know anything about the products or the business side of Plexus. All I know is that it was working. Because of that many of my customers eventually quit buying and many ambassadors quit buying and trying to work their business because nobody was having the success they wanted or expected. My team has definitely suffer because of that, and so has my check. In October of last year plexus did a Contest to win a free iPad. I wanted it so bad I started posting and emailing and really working my business the best I could but as soon as I won the iPad I kind of fell back again using my kids my pregnancy and moving all as excuses. But that is all they were excuses.

So I am here today to apologize to any of my customers and any of my ambassadors that weren't successful and didn't have my support like they should have. I am trying to get back on track and really help people I have the tools to help people from many different ailments and places in their life they don't want to be. Despite my lack of growth I know the plexus products work and they have worked for me and for many many people. I have seen testimony after testimony after testimony of people whose lives have been completely changed because of Plexus. The masses need these products. And now that I know so much more about the products and how they work I feel I will be able to better assist people with their goals and including myself. Thanks for reading all the way to the end I really am here to help people please message me or call me if you have any questions.

Miss Em you are as sweet as can be and I can't wait to see your personality coming out, however you can stay tiny a little while longer! 

Mayzie Audrey Struska

Mayzie Audrey was born March 16, 2015 at 2:15am after about 10 hours of labor. We headed to the hospital on Sunday March 15 in th afternoon to get checked out because we though my water was leaking. Unfortunately for moa it wasn't and they planned to strip my membranes and send me home since they thought I was only 1cm. The doctor went to strip my membranes and realized I was actually 5cm and after stripping my membranes my contractions picked up so they kept me. Emerson was still up high and not engaged so they let me labor awhile and then started pitocin to try and get her to come down before they broke my water. They were afraid to break my water with her still high for fear of a prolapsed cord. After several hours and increasing the pitocin a ton, she still hadn't come down and I had only increased to 6cm. So I opted for an epidural before breaking my water. Literally seconds after the epidural was in the doctor broke my water and out came tons and tons of amniotic fluid. The nurse, doctor, and anesthesiologist all commented on how they had NEVER seen that much fluid. Well 30 very painful minutes later I had gone from 6cm-10cm and my epidural was only working on the right side. I didn't feel any pressure to push so we waited another 30 minutes to let the epidural wear off a little so I could maybe feel to push. It's amazing how much pain you can feel without feeling the pressure to push. 30 minutes was too long to try and wait it out so I opted to try pushing. I didn't even get to start pushing before her head was already starting to come out. Two contractions and two pushes later and "little" miss Emerson was here with a head full of super dark hair weighing 9# 4.5oz and 20.5in long. She's perfect and healthy. 

Hadley and Brinkley came to meet Emerson later in the afternoon and were completely smitten!!! 

One year with Plexus!

I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated about Plexus and my progress. Plexus has changed my life completely!!! I love it and willl do it for the rest of my life! I've lost around 35# and gained so much freedom. I have more energy, I sleep better, and feel healthier. I've overcome an addiction to Coke a Cola and have learned to make healthier choices. I've also supplemented my income. I started Plexus while working full time. (Three 12 hour shifts a week) I first cut down to part time, then PRN 2, and now PRN 1. That means I only have to work 3 shifts a month!!!! Do you have any idea how awesome that is??? I LOVE staying home with my girls while still making enough money to live life! This product, company, comp plan, and other ambassadors is more fantastic then I could ever explain on writing! I looke forward to taking this opportunity to the next level. Right now I'm making enough money with just Plexus to pay our rent and utilities each month. 

Brinkley is One!!!

I am so late on writing this post but better late than never! Brinkley turned one March 4,2014! What a year it has been with so many changes. Brinkley has been such a wonderful addition to our family! A little bit of a surprise but totally worth it!
