Last year finished up very nicely. Everything was pretty laid back, both at work and at home. I decided to jump fully into selling Essante Organics, which means that I created a Facebook page to talk about all the wonderful products they are making; my page is called Quintessential Organic Living.

DetailsA few years ago, while I was still a newlywed, I really started looking towards the future. Specifically, I started having visions of the kind of retirement that I want to enjoy with my husband, my soulmate.
