LulaRoe: What do they stand for?

LulaRoe: What do they stand for?

Not many businesses are developed without someone having a reason or having a just cause in developing them. You should know that a reason "why" is enough to drive people to pursue many different adventures in life. I am fairly certain that most businesses were once the baby of someone with a dream, a desire, and a drive to succeed. This is somewhat how LulaRoe was formed. A woman had a desire and made it a reality. Luckily, she is sharing her reality as an opportunity.

DeAnne Stidham had a desire to provide for her family without sacrificing her precious time with them. This desire to focus on her family and provide for them was where her drive to create LulaRoe came from. All it took was for people to believe in her and she was able to take off with her business. After all, isn't that what we all want? We all want someone to believe in us and reassure all of us that we are capable of achieving our goals or dreams.

From this experience in DeAnne's life, believing in others is a large portion of what LulaRoe stands for. They believe in you and encourage you to be successful. Take a look at the mission statement of LulaRoe below.

How much more inspiration could a company pack in to one statement? They want you to have the freedom in your life to become successful; without sacrificing time with your family. If I had to say one thing that LulaRoe as a business is focused on; I would chose the word family. After all, the company is named after DeAnne's granddaughters. All of the different styles are named after people in her family. This signifies that she is focused on her family and LulaRoe strives to give you the time to focus on your family.

Knowing that this company will offer us the freedom to focus on our family, they will believe in us, and encourage us makes us both even more excited that we decided to join the movement.

What about you? Do you have someone that believes in you and encourages you in all things that you do? Have you achieved your hopes and dreams?

If you are lacking these things in your life, we believe in you. We encourage you to do what will make you happy in life and what will give you the freedom to focus on your family, goals, hopes, and dreams.

If you have a passion for fashion like us and want to know how you can join the movement, please contact us. We are here for you! And would love to help you take control of your future!

With lots of Lula-Love and Encouragement,
Emily and Mary Beth

My LulaRoe Promise to My Customers

My Promise to My Customers as a LulaRoe Consultant

In a world where fashion and your figure means so much to people it is hard to be comfortable in your own skin. I have struggled so much with who I am and being what I want to be. Growing up with extremely curly hair and being overweight the majority of my life was not easy, especially in school. Being bullied for those attributes the majority of my life made it hard for me to feel comfortable as me. I would pull my hair up tight in a bun to hide my crazy hair and I would hide in baggy clothes. Thinking that no one would notice me to much.

That was where I was wrong. I was frequently questioned about my race and belittled about my hair. Why was my hair such a big deal? Why was my race even a question? Why did this matter to other people so much? I often wondered all of these same questions and still to this day I feel like some of my happiness in my childhood was robbed from me by other children.

It wasn't until I was older that I realized what drives people to focus on traits in a person and use those traits to make them feel like less of a human being. People (kids and adults) that belittle others are doing this to make themselves feel better about their own faults. There is nothing that irks me more than for a person to make themselves feel better at the expense of others. This is not an attribute that any person should ever desire to have.

You may be wondering why I think that this is a vital part of LulaRoe. As a person that has struggled the majority of her life to feel comfortable in her own skin, it only makes sense that LulaRoe be a part of my life. LulaRoe is all about comfort and being who you want to be. Just like this, I want to encourage everyone to feel comfortable as themselves. You should feel that you can wear anything and that you are all beautiful!

LulaRoe offers a vast variety of prints and styles. There is something for everyone. Whether it is a wild print or a subtly solid, they got you covered. That is what I love about LulaRoe. I can be me in no matter what style or print I chose. I don't have to be the mirror image of someone else. I can be me in my car leggings or my favorite black Irma.

No matter what race, nationality, style, shape, or weight; you are all beautiful. Often our biggest flaws (or what we as a person view as flaws) are what makes us extraordinary and beautiful. If the world were full of mirror images of one person it would be a pretty boring place. Stop comparing yourself to everyone else. Stop trying to be like everyone else. Just be you and nothing but you. Do not by anything that is not you because someone else would buy it.

As a LulaRoe consultant I promise to never compare myself to anyone else and never compare my customers to anyone else. I want to lift you all up and encourage you all. My biggest hope is that at the end of the day all of my customers feel amazing and beautiful. That they all find that one piece of LLR that puts a smile on their face and gives them the confidence to just be who they are, not what they think they should be based upon others.

We are all beautiful! No matter what anyone ever says to you or tells you, YOU ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL! Don't let harsh words of another tear you down or kill your spirit. Always be true to yourself and as a LulaRoe consultant I will always see the beauty in everyone.

With Lots of Lula-Love,
Emily Eden

I think I can, So I did! How this translates in to LulaRoe.

I think I can, So I did! How this translates in to my LulaRoe business!

Friday (5/6/16) I graduated from college with my Associates of Arts degree. This is just the first step in the degrees that I plan to obtain. You may be wondering why did I wait so long in life to go to college? I say WHY NOT! It is never to late to get an education. I don't care how old you are or what you have going on in your life, it can be done.

It wasn't always easy and there have been many times that I wanted to give up. Instead of running from my education I embraced it. There were times that I wish it wasn't there. Of course I had ups and downs. If I said I didn't, I would be lying.

For instance, when I was in the hospital receiving a shot because the baby in my tummy failed to grow after being conceived a mere 4 weeks earlier(2014). In this horrible time of losing a child I focused on school. I sat in that hospital bed and wrote a paper for one of my finals. A whole year later I would be on that very same floor delivering my 4th beautiful baby. Still, I was studying for another round of finals (2015). Another year later (2016, this year) I spent two months at my mothers caring for my younger siblings while she was in the hospital with my step-father. I still did not give up. I persevered.

How did I stay positive? I knew that this degree was the first step in getting a higher education. That this was the beginning of a new part of my life and that only I have the power to change my destiny. I am the one that wanted to change things and I knew that this was what I needed to do.

So take it from me...It can be done! As long as you believe that you can do it!

How does this intertwine with LulaRoe? If I have learned anything thus far, it is that this is the exact positive outlook that you have to have with LulaRoe. You may hear other consultants say "The clothes sell themselves," "If you don't do well you can return your inventory for a restocking fee if it doesn't sell," or even "You can sell your inventory to another consultant at wholesale."

While all of this is true, did you ever think about how these phrases translate to all of us "Lulababies"? (Lulababy = Consultant/Sponsors term for a woman/man that signs up under them)

I will tell you what it says. It says that we can be negative about the outcome of our business before we even begin. I know that this is not how I want to view my new business. Yes, I and all other Lulababies need to know that there is options if things don't work out. However, I think that we need to start out more positive about our new businesses.

Yes, LulaRoe is a personal business endeavor. It is not another MLM company or another "pyramid" scheme. It is a legitimate business where you own your own inventory and your sales are up to how you operate your business.

In talking to anyone that is interested in submitting their application focus on the positive! If they ask "What if it doesn't work out?" You can mention these options, but you need to refocus on the positive.

My sponsor is amazing like that! She is positive and focuses on the positive. I love that about her! Yes, I had my doubts. Who wouldn't, with such a huge investment? However, instead of being negative about everything, try being positive!

Tell yourself that you can do it. Encourage yourself and all those around you. You may be quite shocked at the outcome!

Only you have the power to change your future. Nobody else. Just you.

Use the power of positivity to encourage yourself in all things that you do! And you will be able to accomplish great things!

With Positive Lula-Love,
Emily Eden

LulaRoe: The Wait is On and So is the Remodel!

Lula Roe: The Wait is On and So is the Remodel!

Its been a while since I updated everyone on my queue wait and the remodel!

I have been working diligently on my Lula-Lounge. Currently there are muscles that I didn't know I even had that are hurting. Have you ever had sore muscles in your bottom? I do now and that is not fun!

First thing accomplished was replacing the broken/missing ceiling tiles. While the husband accomplished this task I pulled up the carpet on the steps. Yay, thousands of staples said no pliers and flat head screwdriver ever! I was proud that I only walked away with one puncture from a staple. Go ME! The bad news is that the person I bought the house from was a professional painter. He painted every wall, trim, and ceiling in the house with this not so desirable paint color/technique. UGGG! Anywho, there is overspray on every single step. Looks like I just signed up for a major sanding job.

And let me just set the record straight...Mastic Adhesive Carpet Glue is no joke. I am pretty certain that some evil genius invented it to ruin the lives, backs, and hands of those that encounter it. I can hear his devilish laugh "Muahahahahaha!" Really dude? Is all that really necessary?

The ugly maroon commercial grade carpet has been removed from half of the basement so that we can remove the glue. This is because there is "stuff" that inhabits the basement and I refuse to haul it 15 miles to a storage unit for a week or two while we DIY our floor. Back to that dreaded mastic... We have scraped it, vacuumed, scraped it, vacuumed, scraped it, and lastly vacuumed. Hence our muscles begging for mercy. We tried an adhesive remover on one small portion of the glue. Meh, it removed some, but definitely not the results we hoped for. Looks like we are off to the rental company to get some heavy machine that can get this job done.

Oh, the queue wait. I have been researching what business material I need to purchase and what I will need to set up the Lula-lounge. In the queue club group there is a lot of information on running the business, business purchases, and of course the wait. It is looking like onboarding is going to take a lot longer than I originally expected. There is a multitude of consultants signing up daily and this overwhelming number is slowing onboarding. With 150 onboarded a day it still looks like I will be 15 weeks getting inventory from the date I submitted.

I feel thankful that I have this time to get prepared, but not thankful that I have to wait so long. At this rate I will roughly get inventory in the beginning of August. Yay and not Yay, all at the same time.

Stay tuned for more remodeling and waiting.

Leggings Are Not Pants...or So She Said...LulaRoe

Leggings Are Not Pants...or So She Said...LulaRoe

Every person has a reason that they decide to do something in life. Why did I decide to sell LulaRoe? After all their number one seller is leggings and we all know that leggings are not pants. Or are they? 

First, you should know that I avidly believed that leggings are not pants. I would see that girl in the store with her fanny shining in those second coat of skin leggings and think "Leggings are not pants people!" Boy was I WRONG! 

What gives us the right to decide what clothing makes a person feel amazing? 
If it is a moo moo at the supermarket, but you feel like a million bucks...ROCK THAT MOOMOO! 
If it is those tight black leggings with your favorite tee...ROCK THOSE LEGGINGS! 

That is my why! I have always been overly self-conscious. Never in my life have I been that girl that could wear whatever she wanted and feel gorgeous. Hours have been spent looking in a mirror, changing clothes, throwing them on the ground, setting in the floor of my closet crying. Why does wearing clothing have to be such an important part of life? That question has crossed my mind a billion times. Now that I think of it, I don' think that any person is that girl! Everyone goes through the emotional roller coaster of what am I going to wear? Honestly, do you feel amazing in every piece of clothing you put on?  Didn't think so! You are not ALONE! No woman feels spectacular in every thing they put on. 

Then this magic thing happened. An acquaintance of mine added me to her LulaRoe pop-up boutique. I was excited to see what the buzz was all about. I thought "Pssshhhaa, these leggings cannot be that amazing." Again, I was WRONG! 

I got a pair of leggings and an Irma top. They arrived and I instantly was in love. My husband was all over me like white on rice. He loved how amazing the leggings felt, but was it just that he loved that about them? I have pondered what is it that makes him so attracted to me when I am sporting my Lula. Regardless of what pieces I am wearing. It could be my leggings, an Irma, a maxi, or even the coveted Amelia in my closet. What is it about LulaRoe? 

Then it occurred to me it isn't really LulaRoe. It is that when I put on LulaRoe I feel amazing. I am more confident no matter how chaotic the print is. I am comfortable in my own skin. And this vibe of confidence is infectious. Everyone around me seems to know that I am confident and comfortable. 

Do you realize how powerful that is? It is the difference in owning an interview, bossing a meeting, or making that sale. Confidence is connected to so many aspects of life that it is unreal. This is why I know LulaRoe is right for me. It makes me confident and that makes me feel like I can conquer the world. Why would I not want to share this confidence to be comfortable in their own skin with everyone? 

Now you know my why LulaRoe! Lets just end the negativity now...Leggings are pants. At least if you want them to be! 

If you have any why in the world, share it with me! I don't care if it is that warm fuzzy feeling you get from you pajamas. Tell me why you do what you do and what makes you feel confident! 

With Lula love and leggings for pants, 
Emily Eden
