A Night Out

Let me make a confession- I love barnes and Noble. Love, love love. While the prices for the books are too high for my paycheck, I love the smell of it- there is just something about bookstores, don't quite know what it is. It also helps that I got carmel apple cider- perfect for cold weather like this.

Am I wearing Mialisia? Of course! I wouldn't leave the house without my jewelry! More often than not, jewelry can make or break an outfit.  

What do you think?

I am also wearing boot bling, 

I just love how a simple necklace can spice up a plain boot!

In these pictures I am wearing Simplicity, broadway, and Primary Squares. I personally like Primary Squares for around my ankle because it is a small and simple necklace- and I don't have to wrap it around my boot several times!

Thanks for sharing your night with me!

Labor of Love

For the past four years (since I've graduated basically) I have been on the hunt for a job that I love. In this economy, jobs can be few and far between. Now finding a job that you love? That is even more challenging.

Last May, I was told about a fabulous opportunity- Mialisia Jewelry. While I had never been in direct sales, I knew this was a job I could do. How did I know this? Because I have sold it before! Blingtime gave a me a chance to see how the interchangeable jewelry concept sold- and they went like hotcakes. Women loved the concept and had fun picking out their own designs.


I've found one job that I have enjoyed, but what about two? While the idea may not seem likely, it is possible! I recently landed a job at a library working as a library assistant. And let me tell you- I actually look forward to going into work- something that I am not used to!

So this labor day, I am celebrating work- the work I am doing, and the fact that I love it!



What sort of jobs are you working on? Do you enjoy them or is it just another paycheck?

Join me in my labor of Love celebration!

The Juggle

Life is all about juggling your tasks, the punches that the world throws at you, and trying not to grow crazy when your body only gives you four hours of sleep.

So how do you juggle moving, starting a new job, starting a new business (Mialisia), and repainting the room you are moving into. Let me just say that these past few weeks have been a little crazy (and I still haven't unpacked- room and house is CHAOS!!!).

A pic of my living room

So if you have noticed that this blog has been neglected lately, that is why.

I am still dedicated to Mialisia- to the jewelry, the concept, and changing the way women wear jewelry. I believe this company has the potential to make me a lot of money. I have faith that if I put in the work, I will be rewarded.

What crazy things has life thrown at you?

How do you deal with it?

Billy BeeLicious Market Payson Boutique Craziness

This was my first Boutique/Event/Trade show by myself and selling Mialisia! Let me tell you, it was a whirlwind- no seriously, there was a lot of wind!

Pack it all in!

The car...oh the car- it was so packed! Who would have thought that a table, canopy, large chalkboard, long mirror, jewelry, jewelry holders- oh and lets not forget the person in the backseat!- chairs, and all of the other crap necessary to put on a trade show- would fit in my little Versa. But somehow, I managed it!

The Packed Car

Set Up

It quickly became apparent that this was not an ordinary trade show, but a little event. However, since it only cost $25, and this was my first trade show by myself, I was ok with it. It also became clear that one table would simply not be enough. Especially when we put up the canopy and the table- now looking a lot smaller than I thought it would.

So after some thought, I sent off my helper, Nat, in search of a new table, fabric, and magnets. Once she had left, I got to setting up my little table. 

Since life has chosen this time to be crazy, I had not had the chance to design my table. If I had, I might have noticed it was a little too small.

So I had an idea- why not use a chalkboard to showcase our Fashion events and our Designer opportunities? 

It wasn't until I tried writing on the chalkboard that I realized how much this wouldn't work- at least with my handwriting.

When Nat got back and saw the chalkboard, her words were- "Oh my."

What do you think?

I think it is safe to say my career in chalkboard writing is over.

And this is what it looked like when Nat was finished with it-

It looks great, right?

Overall, setting up went ok- except for the fact I got a paper cut and had to ask for a band-aid to stop the bleeding. 

Whoops and ow.

The Finished Display

(more or less)

Doesn't the Green Clothing Donations frame my display nicely?

Presentation!

As I already had previous experience selling the VersaStyle Jewelry with Blingtime, I didn't think I would have any problems with presenting the jewelry and the concept to people. But when my first customer can up, I found myself stuttering, bumbling over the words (I was the bumbling bumblebee). I couldn't get the words right, I was shaky, and unfocused.

After the third time I bumbled, my friend talked me through it. After that, I was able to focus, and work on my speech. We even made a sale! One lady got so excited, she wanted to buy the jewelry I was demonstrating. Guess that goes to show how wearing jewelry, can really help sell it! Origonally, I was going to have her fill out an order form, but we didn't have a huge number of people, so I decided to give the jewelry to her as is. We sold Isis and Stacie, and I couldn't be happier to part with them!

Isis from the Nile Collection

Stacie from the Contemporary Collection

Enter Wind

Throughout the day, the wind steadily picked up, growing in intensity by the hour. Around one, the wind started knocking things down. My displays were not meant to withstand such force, so a few tumbled down. I think people were worried about the jewelry getting broken, but I took that opportunity to tell them this is a more sturdy product than your average jewelry and that it should be fine. I also may have mentioned the limited lifetime guarantee ;) 

Around 2, the wind really began knocking stuff over. At that point, I took the displays down. I didn't want my jewelry to fly away with the wind, so I put them flat on the table. 

I had told several of my customers that I was doing a raffle if they signed up for the e-mail list, so I quickly shouted into the wind- "For those who signed up for the raffle, we will be doing it now!"

A couple of people started milling over, but there was still a couple of people who I knew entered and wanted to win, so I gave a shout out again. 

Suddenly, people who hadn't signed up wanted to. Who didn't want free earrings? 

I was surprised to see how excited the women were over this. Simply getting earrings had them saying- "I really want it!" And, "Why did you shout out? We had a better chance earlier!"

Even with the wind, the excitement seemed to be building. Women who were manning other booths had abandoned theirs to come to my little raffle. In that moment, I knew giving away one pair of earrings was well worth it.

I took the chest, shook it up, and had Nat pick one. The girl who ended up winning had signed up last minute. She picked the Hazel Daisy earrings.

Hazel Daisy from the Sunset Collection

After that, it was a rush to take everything down. The wind was getting stronger, and it looked like a storm was coming in. I also didn't think staying was worth losing any product. 

It was a good thing we started packing up because not long after, the wind came in stronger force, and started to blow our canopy away! Needless to say, we quickly dismantled it and put it away.

Nat isn't sure of the wind

Me and the Dismantled Displays

Well that's my story of the crazy, windy day I had. Most wouldn't call that day a success, but personally, I think it was. It may have been a small success, but I gained experience, confidence, and got the 'awkward first date' out of the way!

The Awesomeness of Team Diamond

The team I am on is amazing. They are so supportive, helpful, and share all of their secrets. This truly is a business where you are taken care of. You are not left in the dark.

Also on our team is photoshop experts. Because of them, I have some awesome photos to share with ya'll!

Just remember...

The Road to Success

Often, when the word success is brought up, people think it is a simple path. Realistically, I didn't think so, but subconsiously, I did.

As I began working with Mialisia, I have been surprised to find the path to 'success' to be a windy one. I have tried various things, working with SEO, passing out flyers, and talking to friends. I have hit several failures while doing this. Most would give up by now, and sometimes I feel like doing the same.

However, I believe in Mialisia. I am in love with the jewelry, and the concept. I believe it will go places, and I want to join in on the fun. Also, I have amazing bosses (aka, my Aunt and Uncle) who are willing to help anyway they can. Who give me advice when I need it, and help me with my Social Networking.

The road to success, happiness, fulfuliment, is and will never be a straight path. You will hit speed bumps, run into rivers, and hit a jackrabbit or two. But if you keep the goal in mind, you will find the strength to move on. Take a leaf out of Dori's (from Finding Nemo) book "Just keep Swimming."

Reason 1

Why you should join Mialisia- Top Ten Reasons

Reason 1- Amazing, jaw-dropping Compensation Plan

Mialisia is offering a compensation plan unlike any other; with more than 6 levels of growth, 35% of all your sales, and promotion incentives.

Whenever I tell people about our plan, their eyes pop. They are so shocked to hear that you can make 35 percent of all  your sales! Most companies do only 25%, with the highest at 30%. Mialisia is raising the bar with this one, and taking care of their consultants. It is no wonder that we have surpassed the expected number of designers weeks before launch!

Beautiful Idaho

During the 4th of July, I spent the time in Idaho with Family. I also tried to make time to remember how our country was founded; to remember the sacrifices made, the lives lost, and the freedom gained.

While I am not the best photographer, here are a couple of pictures from my journey.

Reason 2

Why you should join Mialisia

Reason 2- Be apart of the beginning

It isn't often you get asked to join a company and then start your own business. The odds get even smaller if you are invited to join before the company launches! Joining in now can make you more money, get you more sales, and place you closer to the top. Trust me- this is one opportunity you do NOT want to miss out on!

Reason 3

Why you should join Mialisia

Reason 3- Receive Weekly Training Calls

Why you sign up, we don't just give you your party pack and say- good luck! You will get weekly training calls from Dave and Trish Nabrotzky. You will receive updates on the company, give you advice, and help you with your business!

Reason 5

Why you should join Mialisia

Reason 5- Your own website

When you join Mialisia, you get your own website. When you purchase the $499 kit, you get the website (normally $50 a year) for free.

With your own website, prospect designers can find answers to their questions, find pictures and videos to the jewelry, and even apply.

When the company launches in July, customers will be able to purchase jewelry online from your website. This gives you your 35% and allows you to make money while you sleep!

Reason 6

Why you should join Mialisia Top Ten Reasons

Reason 6- Live the American Dream

The American Dream, a phrase often thought of around the world, but what most people may not realize is this dream can be hard to find. Building your own business can be time consuming and costly.

But with Mialisia Jewelry and Home Parties, you  are able to start your business with a lot of the work already done! You don't have to come up with a new idea, it has already been created! All you have to do is sell the product. Sounds like a dream- right?

Review of Jewelry

When I pulled the jewelry out of the demonstration kit, I was surpised by how light it was. Most jewelry is either heavy, or somewhere in the middle. Another thing I noticed is the quality of the metals. It appears to be sturdy, strong, and yes, shiny. I am very happy with these pieces and am very excited to start selling them!

Not just a Jewelry Blog

Instead of just posting about Mialisia Jewelry, I have decided to share some inspirational quotes, funny pictures, and videos of things that move me. If you are a follower of my facebook page, you are already aware of this idea.

I hope the things I post on here will be helpful, insightful, and in some cases, give you the giggles.

Let's start now-

Reason 7

Why you should join Mialisia

Reason 7- Become a Founding Designer.

When Mialisia told designers that the first 500 people would get the title 'founding designer', they were overwhelmed by the response. Since then, the head of Mialisia has decided to extend an invitation to those designers who apply before July 20, 2013. Instead of only the first 500 people getting the title, now everyone who applies before the company launches gets one!

This shows that the company does listen to it's employees. The President, founder, and maters want to make us happy. It isn't often the head of the company changes some of the rules to make an employee happy!

Don't delay! Apply to become a designer today at design.mialisia.com

Reason 8

Why You should join Mialisia- Top Ten Reasons

Reason 8- You get your own kit

While the designer kits may cost money, they also become a central part of your business. Though it may already be self explanatory, having your kit at home parties can be immensely helpful for selling Mialisia Jewelry. Since this is a hands on type of jewelry, it is helpful to hold, fiddle, and play with. Women can also make new looks by putting different pieces together you hadn't though of before.

Reason 9

Top ten reasons why you should join Mialisia.

Reason 9- personalized training. 

Team diamond holds weekly training and opportunity call meetings. These help you to stay on board with the company and learn new things.

Often, you will get emails with updated information, new pictures, and information about upcoming meetings.

If you choose to join team Sapphire, I will become your head trainer. I will give you personalized training, help you with SEO, and get you started with your business.

Reason 10

Over the next ten days, we will be going over the top ten reasons why Joining Mialisia is a good idea. And why joining before the company launches is even better.

Reason 10- Make money while you sleep

How can I make money while I sleep? The answer is simple- with your very own website. Once you join Mialisia, you get a website (it comes with the $499 package or $50 a year) with your own username. Whenever someone buys jewelry from your website, you get 35% of the profits. How great is that?

Want to see what your website will look like? Simply visit mine at design.mialisia.com. You will notice that it has my contact information at the top of the page. This allows customers and future designers to get in contact with me. Once the company is launched, people will be able to purchase jewelry from that website.

I am so looking forward to getting paid to sleep!

Team Sapphire, my team, is still looking for designers who want to make some money and change the way women wear jewelry, to apply simply visit my website at design.mialisia.com.

The Uses of Opportunity Calls

When I first heard about Mialisia, I was instantly interested. However I was in need of more information; I wasn't about to spend a lot of money on something I didn't know much about. Fortunately  one of the four Masters in the company is my Aunt and Uncle, Trish and Dave Nabrotzky.

Phone Calls

A couple of hour-long conversations later, I felt I had a better handle of what Mialisia was all about. But I still listened to the opportunity call hosted by Arianne, another Master. It was great to hear from Annelise Brown, Founder and CEO, and to hear her story.

How you can Listen In

If you are reading this and wondering how you can have to chance to hear from a Master, simply comment on this post or e-mail me at mialisiadesignblt@gmail.com. Opportunity calls are held a couple times a week and hosted by several different Masters.

If you are interested in Mialsia at all, then listening in to one of these calls would most likely be your best bet!

Mialisia Our Story by CEO Annelise Brown

Annelise Brown, CEO and Founder of Mialisia, tells us her amazing story about how she thought up the patent pending hooks.

I Have a Dream

Everyone has a dream, to have children, to be a teacher, or to live on a tropical island. My dream is simple, to be financially stable. It has been a difficult dream to live up to, especially in this economy.

There is Hope

While that dream is still a long ways off, there is now a light at the end of the tunnel. When my Aunt told me about Mialisia, I was exstatic, yet cautious. I wanted to believe I could become financially stable by working for Mialisia as an independent designer, but it sounded almost too good to be true. Making thirty five percent of your income? Hiring people to work under you and then making a percentage of their income? And how can you average at one thousand at a house party?

But I had faith, and put in my application.

I have not regretted it. Since then, I have worked hard on Mialisia, it has given me a purpose, a goal. A way to be able to pay my bills and to enjoy my work. How often to people get to say they like their job? Let alone love it? Now I can, Mialisia has been a blessing in my life.

Readers, if you are on the fence at ALL about Mialisia, it is time to jump into the pasture. There is greener hills on the other side. There is money to be made, friends to be found, and opportunities to be had.

Trust me, you do not want to miss the opportunity to become a co-founding designer!

Choose the right path.
You will find it
Well worth the Journey

Welcome to the Team

Dave and Trish Nabrotzky welcome you to their team!




Team Diamond, one of the four teams lead by four masters, is lead by none other than my Aunt and Uncle. They are a hard working, family loving, always ready to listen team. Dave and Trish are the happy parents of six children. Trish's favorite thing is her job, motherhood. While this job is often a 24/7 gig, she is willing to take some time away from it (and her own sparse free time) to work on Mialisia. To me, that shows how big this company can be.

Dave used to be the proud co owner of a multi million dollar construction company. He essentially sold the company to go onto bigger and better things, like creating a new business of his own. When he had investors interested, Sean and Annelise Brown walked in with this idea. Abandoning all his other projects, Dave dived into the project. Dave is also a Pastor at his church.

If my Aunt and Uncle can find the time for Mialisia with their busy schedules, then I would strongly recommend you do to! This is one opportunity you do NOT want to miss!

Mialisia Compensation Plan

If you missed the historic meeting at Thanksgiving Point, we will be posting some videos from that conference. In this video, Sean Brown Talks about the compensation plan.

Mialisia President - 2013 Prelaunch

A message from Sean Brown, President of Mialisia Jewelry. In this video, he talks about the company and the benefits of joining.




Sean talks about his wife, Annelise and how she has spent the last three months designing jewelry. The audience was even able to see her work. I was impressed with several pieces, and am ready to show them off!

Sean also discusses how most companies start out from the basement and hire as they can afford it. While that is often the American Dream, there is also room for mistakes. What Mialisia is able to do is hire people who have the experience and expertise to help them avoid those mistakes. Mialisia can do that because they are well capitalized (they can afford it) and have excellent investors.

In this video, you can also see the audience- well over a hundred people.

Business Opportunity call tonight! Get a chance to hear from Dave and Trish Nabrotzky, one of the four Masters from the company!

The Perfect Job

Most kids knew what they wanted to be when they grew up. The either wanted to be a teacher or a cop. Me? I wanted to be a Dolphin Trainer at Sea World.

While that dream has yet to be realized, I did go off to college, in search of getting an education- and then a job.

A Degree

I started off my college career a little early by normal standards- apparently most 13 year olds didn't dream about starting college- I still faced the same problem. What to major in.

Liberal arts became the focus for my associate's degree, and I left the community college at 16. 

BYU-Idaho

Life got more interesting at BYU-I, and while I did enjoy my major, I still faced one important question- what would I do when I graduate?

Becoming a writer is a good idea, but writing novels takes time, patience, determination, and a little luck. Making money from it is a different matter.

So what job should I take in the meantime? I spent four long years trying to figure that out.

The Dark Ages

Being laid off from your first job can be difficult, even if it was in telemarketing. I won't even go into the next two- make that three. 

The next stop at finding the perfect job was an Internship as an editor at Cedar Fort. While I loved working there, it was also unpaid. I tried getting a job there, but the stars were not In Alignment for me.

Enter Mialisia

When approached with the chance to join Mialisia as a Designer, I immediately agreed, though I did have my doubts. I wondered how I could make a living selling jewelry; but I trusted Trish and put my best foot forward.

After being apart of the company for only a few short weeks, I can say that I now know how I can make a living selling jewelry. The compensation plan is uncompareable, the concept unheard of- except from their old line- and I was in the middle of it!

A chance of a lifetime

Right now, Mialisia is accepting applications from women- and men- who are interesting in becoming a founding designer. The spots are limited and filling up more quickly than predicted; it would be wise to act fast. Email me at mialisiadesignblt@gmail.com to learn more about this amazing company and how you can get on an opportunity call, held by one of the Masters of Mialisia. 

Trust me, this is one opportunity you do not want to let pass you by!

From Blingtime to Mialisia

Three years ago, Annelise Brown created Blingtime (the old line). It was hard work, full of trials, and not enough money to go around- but it was worth it.

The Idea

Annelise loved Jewelry, the only problem was she had too many to pieces and not enough outfits to wear them with. Then, one of her friends asked if she would share a boutique with her. Annelise decided it was a good idea to join in, but she needed to create the jewelry.

One night, when she couldn't fall asleep, the idea came to her. Instead of just one hook, why not two ("Why no one else thought of this, I don't know," said Annelise during the Historic meeting at Thanksgiving Point.) She spent the entire night working on her new project. When she went to the boutiqe with her friend, she sold nearly all of the jewelry she had made by hand- making 2,000 dollars. When she came home and told her husband this, they knew Annelise was onto something.

Getting Started

Starting a business can be one of the most difficult things; but Annelise and Sean knew if they kept at it, they could change the way women look at jewelry.

After accumulating many blisters on her fingers, Annelise decided to hire women to put together the jewelry.

It took off from there! But that doesn't necessarily mean that the dough started rolling in. Annalise and Sean decided they wanted to make Blingtime even bigger!

Annelise with all her Jewelry

Trying things out

Sean and Annelise tried several things to get their business going. They tried retail, and kiosks (like te ones you see in the mall) but they found it lacked the personal touch the jewelry needed. 

Then Mialisia jewelry and home parties was born! They found that the personal touch would be able to sell the jewelry- Home Parties. They found investors in Utah, and it took off from there! They asked Trish and Dave Nabrotzky to take over Blingtime so they could get started on Mialisia.

Creating Designs

How to Create New Designs

Creating new looks for women with Mialisia Jewelry can be fairly easy. With the patent pending hooks on each necklace, and extension necklaces, you can combine three pieces of jewelry to create a whole new look.

Do you have a plain tee that needs a little something to spice things up? Try putting on a scarf and mix an extension necklaces with a base necklace. Suddenly that boring tee is now your favorite outfit!

Me with Blingtime Jewelry

The use of Bag Bling

Putting jewelry on purses hasn't often been heard of, but with Mialisia, almost anything is possible. You can add these fancy blings to give your purse a face lift.

Trade Shows with Blingtime

Working with trade shows was both exhilarating, entertaining, and a lot of hard work. I soon fell in love with trade shows and the rush of selling jewelry.

Not just selling

My experience in sales is not that extensive, and I generally hate sales people, so I was hesitant to start. But I shortly found out that the concept and product would sell itself. I didn't have to worry about any sales tactics, people bought the jewelry on their own.

Learning how to demo

Talking in front of people without proper preparation isn't necessarily my forte, but perfection isn't necessarily something reached with practice. And the only practice I was going by talking in front of people. I learned how to rearrange jewelry from Stacie, the sister of Annalise- founder of Mialisia. To my surprise, it wasn't that difficult and easy to learn. I guess that means it is easier for customers to learn it!

Caramel Apples

One way to help pass the time is to get some Caramel apples from your local chocolate stand. Those apples quickly became a favorite of mine. Good thing I was making money working for Blingtime!

Trade shows and Mialisia

While the sister of the creator may not be there, designers will be able to attend trade shows. Trade shows can make more money than house parties, and can give you potential recruits.

A Historic Meeting

On May 23, 2013, Mialisia had its first ever meeting at Thanksgiving Point, Utah. At the meeting, the heads of the company spoke, introducing themselves, talking about how they joined the company, and their experience.

Trish Nabrotzkky

Trish started by talking about her favorite job, her children. She also tied in the fact that she and her husband traveled across the country with her six kids. Trish talked about how she got into the company, went to craft shows to sell the jewelry, and her experience with the old company, Blingtime. She emphasised her belief in Mialisia. That she wouldn't give up time with her kids for something that can't go big.

Dave Nabrotzky

Dave talked about his experience with working as a business man, being the father of six children, and his love for his wife. He mentioned that if you had told him ten years ago his future career choice would be to work with jewelry, he would have thought you were crazy!

Annalise Brown

The creator of Mialisia told us about her three year journey working with jewelry. She described how she got blisters on her hands, worked all night putting beads together, and her surprise when she made two thousand in a 6 hour period. I was surprised when she told us she only dabbled in jewelry, and now she has a thriving business.

Sean Brown

Sean showed us a few PowerPoint slides; giving us more information about the company. One thing that stood out was his word- Fashionista aka hostess. If you don't like the word- don't tell him!

Arianne Morgan

The audience was surprised by her excessive experience with merchandise, sales, and business. Arianne claimed that she is good at one thing- making money. She also admitted that she didn't often listen to and accept pitches about products. But the opportunity and the chance to make a lot of money caused her to take a chance and leave her job- one she has worked for 15 years. Arianne ended with, "If you have any questions, come up to me and we can talk. If you don't think this is a good idea, come up to me and we can figure out what is wrong with your brain."

Meeting the Masters

It was great to be able to finally meet with the people in charge of Mialisia. Not only was it a chance to learn more about the company I would be working and recruiting for, it was a chance to meet the people I would be working with.

What Does it Mean to be a Designer?

When I first heard my job title, I couldn't help but be confused. I am not designing Jewelry, I'm just helping people find new looks with the Inter-changeable Jewelry. It was then that I realized that is exactly what it means to be an Independant designer for Mialisia Jewelry.

Not Just a Sales Lady

Whenever someone says the word 'sales' most people have feelings of annoyance and irritation. As I often feel those things when thinking of sales, I was hesitant to sell Jewelry. I was then told that this isn't your average sales job. The product sells itself. Because of the patent pending hooks, there are endless possibilities to creating new looks. Because this product is generally unheard of, it has the ability to sell better than your average necklace.

Upon reflection, I realized this was true- as I had seen the jewelry sell itself with my own eyes. Working with the old line, BlingTime, I was able to attend trade shows to sell the jewelry. All I had to do was show customers how the product works, and they would take it from there. New looks would be created, and the pesky word 'sales' wasn't brought up.

An Opportunity of a Lifetime

Right now, Mialisia is the the pre-launch phase. We are working to hire consultants who are interested in working with jewelry, and making money. The compensation plan is unheard of and very generous. For more information, simply e-mail me (Breanna) at mialisiadesignblt@gmail.com
