Shaklee National Conference 2012/2013

I know this post is a bit late because the Shaklee National Conference was over almost 2 weeks ago, but hey, better late than never ! Hehe.

So Mr. Sunshine and I attended the Shaklee National Conference 2012/2013 on June 8 at Sunway Resort & Spa. It is an annual event to celebrate all the achievers (Star Achievers, as Shaklee puts it) of the previous 2012/2013 cycle. :)

Apart from the awards ceremony, there was also good entertainment and inspiring sharing sessions from Presidential Master Shareeza (my great grandma in Shaklee, hehe) and Master Law Chu Hian (ex-NTV7 broadcaster who beat cancer -  I can't believe he's 50 years old !).

Mr. Sunshine and I were recipients of an award too that day, Alhamdulillah. No words can express my feelings when we walked up the stage with our trophy ! Congratulations to all my sisters in Shaklee who received the same award. Funny how all of us were so excited queuing up to receive our awards. Hehe.

My rock ! Thank you for continuous support, sayang ! :)

My Ummi in Shaklee is so awesome she received 9 awards ! Yes, 9 ! She is now based in Miri so that goes to show that distance doesn't matter, you can grow with Shaklee no matter where you are.

My Ummi, Senior Key Coordinator Nadiah Suhaidi, who's currently preggers. :)

My 'anak', Hajar, who managed to come that day. :)

It was such a memorable event, overflowing with positive energy. So exhilarating !

I vow to make next year's National Conference even more memorable and I want to see my 'anak-anak' walk up the stage too, InshaAllah ! :)

soda pop.

Hi all. :)

I just had to document this.
This is going to be hard to believe but I HAVE NOT HAD A CARBONATED DRINK SINCE APRIL !
Woohoo !
I consider this a huge achievement because prior to that I was downing Coke Light (and going to McDonald's) AT LEAST once a week. :(
Even Mr Sunshine is amazed that I can live without Coke Light. Haha.

This is a decision I made based on the increased frequency of my cold sores, I did some research and I found out that an acidic diet contributes to cold sore flare ups. Although Shaklee products helped in decreasing my cold sores severity and duration, they were still popping up more frequent than usual.

Plus, I don't want my daughter to gain the habit of drinking soft drinks too !

Photo credits to Google.

I used to stay away from sodas until I was in UiTM, and that was also when my insane love affair with McDonald's started. I used to study every day at McDonald's during examination week, imagine that !

So basically I have been avoiding fast food and most importantly carbonated drinks. If  I do go to a fast food joint (which is pretty rare these days), I'll skip the soft drinks. :)

I am so frickin' proud of myself.

Ok bye. :)

two babies and a wedding.

Hellloouuuu all !

HAVE YOU MISSED MEEE ?

If you have, here is a looong pictorial post of the recent important happenings in my life plus a little update on my darling Khayla. :)

January

Mr. Sunshine and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary by going out for a simple movie and lunch date at One Utama. :)

Alhamdulillah. I love you so much, sayang. Meh saya nyanyi sikit, "No one, no one, no onneeee, can get in the way of what I feel for youuuu !" :D
Happy Anniversary, thank you for the oven ! I promise to bake and roast more often. ;)

My best friend, Akhir, gave birth to a healthy baby girl on her birthday ! Awesome kan ? Syukur Alhamdulillah.

Qaireen Alisha is the given name. :)

February

One of my sisters in-law got married on the second day of Chinese New Year. Alhamdulillah.
2 down, 2 more to go ! Hehe. Saja nak bagi Syahieda stressed sikit, muahahaha.

The newlyweds just after their solemnization ceremony. :)

We had cute badges on the day of the reception ! I'm the KAKAK PENGANTIN okayyy. Walaupun kakak, tapi maintain muda ok. Haha.

♥ ♥ ♥

The other sister in-law and I goofing around. :D

The siblings in grey. Oh FYI, I sewed the lace on my baju kurung on my own ! *pats own back*

Mum in-law sayang !

Pengantin baru with 'pengantin sentiasa baru'. Hehe.

Mr. Sunshine drove Khayla and I to Johor Bahru where we stayed for a night. We went to Puteri Harbour Family Theme Park and Khayla absolutely enjoyed herself at the Little Big Club where she played to her heart's content and got to meet Barney, Angelina the Ballerina and Bob the Builder. She was particularly ecstatic to get to met 'Ani' (Barney !). Hehe.
I would totally recommend bringing your child(ren) there.

Hellouuu Barneyy !!

March

Mr. Sunshine and I attended a Shaklee Product Workshop last Saturday at Ayer Keroh. After listening to nutritionist, Celine Lim talk about all of the Shaklee products benefits and safety, I feel like consuming every single one. Falling more and more in love with Shaklee !

With Master Iffah Anuar. :)

With Master Shareeza. :)

My sisters in Shaklee. :) (It's so obvious that I've gained a couple of kilos in this photo, sob sob sob)

We're CERTIFIED Shaklee Independent Distributors yo ! 

And yesterday, Linn finally delivered a healthy baby boy ! I am a proud aunt and I can't believe my little brother is a father now !*happy tears*
Alhamdulillah both mother and baby are well. :)

Assalamu'alaikum world !

Awwwhh !

Khayla is 18 months now, Alhamdulillah. 
She's experimenting with a lot of new poses when we ask her to smile for the camera. Hehe.

Looks to the side and smiles.

Presses her cheeks against others and smiles.

Squashes people's cheeks with hers.

I shall call this Khayla's sexy pose, hahaha.

She is expanding her vocabulary pretty well I would say, Alhamdulillah.
She know's how to ask for water, "Nak air (pronounced as air = angin), nak nak, jom !".
Says "nanak" when she doesn't want something.
Says "akut" when she's afraid of something, will want to "wosh" her hands when they're dirty.
She's very generous with hugs and kisses. "Ag, Ag !" (hug)
Loves to "des" (dance) ! Looks for her "owel" when she needs to bathe, says, "nak uwa" when she wants to go out, says "oat" (kasut) when she wants to put own her shoes. Points to my handbag and says, 'bag, bag" before we go out or get out of the car.

Says "awuwu" when we say I love you to her. :)

A = apul (apple), awwoh (Allah)
B = ball
C = tat (cat) - she's afraid of cats.
D = dog

Can count from 1 to 3 then stops and continues with 8, stops and then, tennn ! Hehe. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera ! In a nutshell, she's quite a talker !
Alhamdulillah, it's such a blessing to see her develop and grow up so beautifully. *happy tears*
Time for a sibling ? Haha, InshaAllah, if there's rezeki. :)

Okay people, time to finish packing up parcels for my dear customers and then I must get some shut-eye.
Goodnight.
Assalamu'alaikum. :)

october fever.

Quick update.

Khayla is well now, Alhamdulillah.
She fell sick twice this month, actually. First in early October, where she had fever and spots all over her body. The spots disappeared after a couple of days.

Spots all over !

The second time was last week. This time was a terrifying experience because there were two instances in which my baby turned blue !

She had gotten so used to getting her temperature checked.

Nebulized with Combivent at Hospital Selayang. Yes, she's sucking on her pacifier, because she was asleep.

If you can notice her hands are of a slightly different colour than the rest of her body. They were blue. She was 40 degrees at this time. :(

Her fever got extremely high -reaching 40 degrees. :'(

But Alhamdulillah, she's all better now and her appetite's improving.

Hari Raya Aidiladha is tomorrow ! Am gonna try to make some rendang tonight. Haha.

Before I end, check out these before after pictures of my acne scars !

All thanks to Shaklee !!

Selamat Hari Raya ya'll !
Bye !

WAHM

Hi all.

I'm at home, taking care of Khayla who is down with high grade fever (highest recorded was 38.7 degrees Celcius, isk isk). She also had mild diarrhea yesterday. Been sponging her and attending to her crankiness. Hehe.

While she's asleep, I'm taking time to answer enquiries on my new found passion, Shaklee and their products and am also taking some orders. Alhamdulillah. Many are interested in the amazing Energizing Soy Protein
(which is on promo this month, by the way).

It feels good being able to share this with people. :)

Best jugak if boleh jadi WAHM (working at home mum).

Ok bye.

how i fell in love with shaklee.

I'm about to share with you something really special !

I'm sure most of you have heard about Shaklee. For those of you who haven't, Shaklee has been around for over 50 years and is the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S.  Did you know that they came up one of the first biodegradable household cleaners ever in the 1960s ? This is because they believe in keeping the planet healthier as well !

As a pharmacist, I care about what medication my family and I consume and I usually would research thoroughly about a specific product/supplement before purchasing it. That is why you don't see me taking any supplements (prior to this). Haha. None were up to my standards. Ecewah.

I have been searching high and low for a good brand of supplements (you can click here to read about why we need supplements) because I was constantly exhausted.

My typical day would start at around 0445 hours, preparing food for my daughter and/or Mr. Sunshine and I'd have to leave the house by 0630 hours and drive for about an hour (depending on the traffic) to work. After work, I would have to drive for more than an hour (two hours if it's during Ramadhan !) and I usually reach home just before 1900 hours. By that time, all I feel like doing is grabbing my pillow and going to bed. But I obviously can't because I have tonnes of house chores to do. On most days, ok maybe EVERY DAY, because I am too tired, I usually leave things to do to the next day and I get all stressed out, cranky and kelam kabut in the mornings !

After doing a bit of reading, I decided to give Shaklee a try three months ago.

With Shaklee, they guarantee that their products that are always (naturally !) safe , always works AND always green.
I started out with their B Complex, Vita-C, Vita-E Complex then I added their Vita-Lea Iron Formula and ESP-Soy Protein Isolate.
With Allah's grace, I now feel like an 'Energizer bunny' in the mornings and at night after I come back from work. I now have enough energy to get all my chores done before I go to bed and I wake up more relaxed and stress-free ! Wheee ! Alhamdulillah. To add to that, my skin doesn't get so dry so easily like before (provided that I drink adequate fluids), because I work in an air-conditioned environment and even my cellulite has reduced ! Yes, I have cellulite. Haha. Alhamdulillah.
Mr. Sunshine bears witness to the change I am going through, he told Lene, "Sebelum ini, pagi-pagi je nak marah, stressed. Sebab penat lah tu. Sekarang ini, pagi-pagi ceria je !". Kan dah kantoi, cranky in the mornings. Isk.
And he has noticed the improvement in my skin too, my cellulite skin is now more smoother. :)
Alhamdulillah.

I have fallen in love with Shaklee that I'm on a mission to get my whole family on it ! Haha.

Mr. Sunshine has been on Vita-Lea Iron Formula, B Complex, Vita-C and Vita-E Complex  for two weeks now and he says it has improved his energy level too. Alhamdulillah. He also claims he feels less hungry. Woot !
I've been trying to coax him to try the ESP, but he isn't interested in liquid supplements. Leceh, he says. T_____T

Oh, and I even started Khayla on Shaklee Meal Shakes especially for its natural fiber benefits. Alhamdulillah, her constipation problem which she suffered for (an agonizing) 6 weeks is gone now !

Sounds too good to be true ? You've gotta try them, to believe them. :)

I am planning get supplements for Daddy from Shaklee too. Since I've tried them and now believe in them, I have confidence to put Daddy (who has heart problems and is diabetic) on them too. Let's invest in health, people !

I am not sharing this not because I am a (new) Shaklee distributor, but I just want to share what is working for my family, with Allah's grace. Alhamdulillah. I am excited to let people feel The Shaklee Difference ! InshaAllah.
