Pump Up the Jam!


Awesome picture, right?

I spent last week in the beautiful city of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. I wish I could say it was solely for pleasure, but darn it, there was some business to do at the Indie Business Mastermind 2017.   I was with these awesome, rad ladies in learning how to relax, refine and refresh.
How did I do that?
First, I spent some totally relaxing time by going snorkeling:


We did our own catch and release program of taking pics of the conch shells we found and then tossing them back into the ocean.

Then, I tried my hand at zip lining!
     

After all of that relaxing, it was time to refine.  What do I mean by refine?  I learned to set goals and acquired the skills to reach what I want to do this year.



Regardless, of what we do, it's a great thing to set a goal with explicit ways on how you want to reach them, whether it's growing your business or wanting to buy a new car!  They are all goals and they are all attainable.  Write down your list.  Mark a date that you want to have it finished.  Research and find what you need to help you with your goal.  Is it learning new social media?  Checking out car fax for the safest ride?  Then, do it!



The third item is Refresh.  Man, do I feel refreshed and ready to go after hanging out with these, smart, powerful, playful, dynamic women.  I was lucky in that I had a goal to attend this trip.  I put it on my calendar, put money away into my savings each month and did it!  You can too.  I know you can!



What are you going to do to RELAX, REFINE AND REFRESH?   I'd love to know.  Email me at shop@rockthebathbar.com , post in the comment below and tell me.  Or post it on tmy FACEBOOK page.  I'll be your accountability buddy to make sure you're staying on course!

I Want My MTV!

Happy New Year!
2017 started out a little sad as my youngest kiddo, who turned 19 last week, has flown the coop!  She is spreading her wings and ready to take on the adventures ahead of her!  My original company After the Rayne started when she was born, and it seemed ironic that those doors shut on December 31st.

But, like they say when one door shuts another one opens and here I am with - 
Rock the Bath Bar - The New Wave of Clean - Awesome Artisan Soaps

                                                 Rock the Bath Bar - The New Wave of Clean - 80's music inspired soaps

The 80's for me was high school, colored hair, spandex pants and parachute jumpsuits!  The movies were The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and anything directed by John Huges!  The music was awesome from Punk, New Wave, Valley Girl (like, oh my Gawd!), Hair Bands and even Debbie Gibson!

And, the fashion!  Who could forget the fashion?   I had my black and white vans, bandanas wrapped from the knee down and oh yes, the Pat Benatar headband!
You think I'm nuts, but guess what Allure magazine has to say about the 80's?

I am so happy that it's making a comeback!  It never left my closet!  Now, I wasn't that weird chick walking down the street with everything from the 80's, but I do enjoy mixing the old with the new.
That's how I've always been and I'm not going to change now!
Rock the Bath Bar - the New Wave of Clean - Awesome Artisan Soaps is an awesome bath + body experience and I can't wait for you to go on this totally rad ride with me!  I am the lead rocker/dancer at this party and I'm going to blast the roof off!
LET"S ROCK!!!
