30 Day CO Fitness Journal Release – Stuff we Make

AHHHH! I’m so excited guys! They day has finally come. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to tell you about these bad boys. And now they’re here! They’re finally available in our shop!!!
I’ve worked so hard on these 30 day journals. I’ve been working on these since last year trying to get them just right. My goal for these journals were to make them…

  1. Affordable
  2. Portable
  3. Good quality paper so I can use my permanent markers on them
  4. Functional and helps me achieve my goals
  5. Pretty to look at

So let’s just get to it. Here they are!

These babies come in single sets and sets of 3. Each journal has 38 pages and are saddle stitched. It starts off with a monthly goal setting page and then breaks down into weekly and daily pages. I hope these will be useful to you just as they have been for me. It’s helped me stay accountable, organize my thoughts, and set tangible goals.

These journals are really a big part of me and I’ve put a lot of myself into these journals. I’ve tested them, figured out what worked and didn’t work for me and I really hope that others will find them useful. I hope you guys enjoy! If you use one please use #COfitnesjoural and #COproductlove so we can see how you’re using it!

The iPhone 7 – Stuff I Like

I’ve been waiting for this day to come! Tomorrow, hopefully, I will be the proud owner of an iPhone 7 🙂

You guys know how much of an Apple Fangirl I am. Yeah, I said it. I don’t care 😛 I’ve got almost everything that Apple sells – an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Macbook Pro, 3 Apple TV’s at home..see what I mean?

I’m really excited for this phone to release. Mostly because I can upgrade without having to wait thanks to Tmobile lol. But also because a couple specific reasons. As an entrepreneur, I can’t live without my phone. I know everyone says this but honestly it’s the truth.

  1. My phone gives me the freedom to leave my office and still be able to conduct business. This is extremely important to me especially because at Ninong’s I manage a team of almost 15 people. If I need to go buy groceries or run an errand I can see what the sales are like while I am away in real time.
  2. I use my iPhone to take all my product photography and (of course) manage my social media. Needless to say this is an extremely important source of marketing. I can’t tell you how much growth we’ve experienced with the help of Instagram alone.
  3. I can communicate via email with clients and vendors while on the go. As a business owner I have a laundry list of errands I need to run and things I need to buy. In my opinion, email is THE way to communicate professionally with fellow colleagues, vendors, and customers. Text just doesn’t cut it for me. Having my email at my fingertips is great because I can check it throughout the day or while I’m sitting in the car (don’t worry Charlie is driving) so I don’t have 100 emails by the time I get back to my computer. Not only that, but having things in writing (even virtual writing) is very important.

If you follow me on Snapchat or Instagram (@cartel_co) you’ll find out if I’m able to get my phone tomorrow lol. Wish me luck!

Holiday Release 2016 Part 1 – Stuff we Make

I can’t believe this year has gone by this quickly. At the beginning of the year I told myself that I would really hard to stay on a retail calendar and have my holiday cards ready by the summer this year. But nope. Life got in the way again. So here I am, releasing them now that the summer is come and gone lol!

The holidays are my favorite time of year. No matter how old I get I try to keep it just as magical as my parents made it for me growing up. It was the perfect balance of twinkle lights, gifts, Santa, family, friends, and the whole reason for the season – the birth of our Lord. I never realized that getting older would make it more difficult to keep the magic alive. What with angry shoppers, people stealing your parking spots at the mall, working extra hard and some times longer hours, putting up the Christmas lights ourselves, digging through the garage to grab the dusty ornaments and decorations, and the stress of finding people the perfect gift. You can’t really be surprised that the spark of Christmas spirit isn’t as bright compared to when I was a kid. But nonetheless, I’m always determined to make Christmas as special as I can. 🙂

I’m really excited to share the holiday card designs for this year! For the next 3 weeks I’ll be releasing the different designs we have for this year’s Holiday line. Starting with these 2 bad boys.


Both cards are available in single cards and boxed sets. They’re available in our shop now and are 25% off until September 30th, no promo code needed. 🙂
