Wanted to try to get another BLACK FRIDAY deal to Wanted to try to get another BLACK FRIDAY deal to Minky Couture for any of you who missed it back in November or were hoping to use it again!

.
If you need a Baby Shower Gift, Wedding Gift or want something for Easter or even Mother’s Day, this is the best deal!
.
🌟Use code MELEA55 to get 55% off any FULL PRICED ITEMS at TheMeleaShow.com/MinkyDeal
.
👉🏻55% off is the same discount they offered in November for Black Friday! So I’m freaking out that they are letting us have it again for a few days.🤩
.
And YES! You CAN use this code at a Minky Store location if you have one nearby. So if you’d rather shop in person, do that!👊🏻
.
These are literally one of the best gifts ever, people obsess over them and they are the softest blankets ever made! Once you have one, you will understand the hype😉
.
Prices will vary depending on the size, thickness & style you pick. But whatever regular price you see, our code will take 55% off of that at checkout.
.
For example, for their CLASSIC colors & prints:

👉🏻Infant sizes are reg $79
(✨Only $36 with our code!)

👉🏻Travel sizes (36x60) are reg $129 (✨Only $59 with our code!)

Code won’t work on anything that’s already on sale or marked down. But I’d still check out their sale section in case you happen to see a great deal on a color/print that you want!
.
Hope a bunch of you are excited about this random Black Friday Deal! And hopefully a bunch of you can take advantage of it.

We just focus on trying to get a date night in every single week instead! It’s been such a good thing for our marriage. And we swear by it!

👆🏻THE equation if you want to travel more! A 👆🏻THE equation if you want to travel more! And it’s the formula we used to make it happen for our own family!
.
I’ve been getting a lot of messages asking how we afford to travel so much.
.
Well, #1, it’s what I like to spend my extra money on😉 So I’m always saving up for the next vacation!
.
And #2, we definitely would not be able to afford our vacations if we still were in debt.
.
👉🏻BTW, I know some of you are thinking that all of our trips are sponsored. They aren’t. It’s actually pretty rare for us to have sponsored trips because I prefer to have full control over my vacations without brands telling me what I can and cannot do or say. All of my most-popular Travel Tips YouTube videos with millions of views are NOT sponsored. So yes, we do pay for most of the trips you see us go on and share!
.
🌟We got out of debt in 2011 because I KNEW there was no way to live the life we wanted if we had debt, then created new debts to take care of the old ones….it’s a vicious cycle, hard to get out and you pay thousands & thousands of dollars in interest!
.
🌤But it CAN be done!🙌🏻
.
🌟The only way to get out is to:
👉🏻Create a debt elimination plan (we did a “Snowball” plan)
👉🏻Get you and your spouse on board with the plan! 💥👆🏻IMPORTANT PART
👉🏻And follow the plan even when it sucks and you hate life and can’t afford to do anything fun for awhile!
.
🥵12 Years ago, we had over $32,000 in credit card debt, student loan debt, loans, etc. I remember feeling like I was drowning.😩 If you have debt right now (other than your home and/or cars), you might be feeling the same way.
.
🙏🏻I PROMISE YOU it is worth the pain once you are out!! It took us 18 months to do it!! And I’d go through that hellish struggle again to be where we are at now.
.
Whether you want to travel more or just be financially independent to do the things you’ve always wanted, this formula will make it happen for you! And it’ll make sure you have money for emergencies that pop up as well.

🐒Disappeared for a week to go to Costa Rica for 🐒Disappeared for a week to go to Costa Rica for the first time! We didn’t plan the trip, since it was a trip Brady earned for President’s Club from his company @ranliferealestate. But we had a great time and now have a bunch of tips for anyone who wants to go to Costa Rica one day! So I thought I’d share them below👇🏻
.
 🌟COSTA RICA TIPS POST #1:
.
1- We flew into the Liberia Airport (on the West Side of Costa Rica). There is another Airport, San Jose, (on the East Side), that is another option. Depending on where you live, prices and flight times will be drastically different. So price check BOTH airports when planning your trip!
.
2- On a future trip, I would plan 2-3 days up in Arenal and stay at one of the Hot Springs Hotels up there. Travel from either Liberia or San Jose takes HOURS…so you can’t really stay there and do the cool Arenal Volcano, waterfall & wildlife hikes up in Arenal without traveling 2-3 hours each way on an excursion!
.
3- We stayed at the Secrets Papagayo Resort in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It is a really nice adults-only hotel! BUT it was far away for a lot of excursions we wanted to do. So again, I’d research the excursions you want to do FIRST before booking hotels so you’re only traveling 30-45 minutes to do an excursion vs 2-3 hours each way.
.
4- We did do some fun excursions through a company called Royal Service Tours. 2 locals run it and they were great because we were able to customize our excursions and do things some of the bigger tour companies did not offer or even mention! Plus, it was CHEAPER than the same exact tours other companies were offering!🙌🏻 So you know I loved that too! 🌟They have 5-star reviews on Trip Advisor if you want to look them up for your trip: @royalservicetourscosta 
.
💥Got a few more Costa Rica tips on my next post! So go read that.👉🏻
.
Thanks to RANLife Real Estate for such a fun trip!
.
💥🏡And don’t forget, if you’re in Utah and need someone to help you sell or buy your home to MAKE SURE you get the best deal, Brady can help you do that. Just message me if you want to talk with him 😉 You know we are both all about getting you guys the best deals!

If 1 + 1 is NOT equaling 2, that is a huge sign th If 1 + 1 is NOT equaling 2, that is a huge sign that something in your body is not working right!
.
And I WISH someone would have told me this years ago.
.
After having kids (gaining 65 pounds with Devyn and 40 with Rockwell!🤯) nothing worked to lose the weight, to build muscle or get in shape.
.
It didn’t matter how hard I worked out, how perfect I ate, how low my calories were….what worked for everyone else didn’t work for me. And I couldn’t figure it out!
.
So I ate less like every “fitness professional” was spouting, worked out harder, tried every fad diet out there and was literally KILLING MYSELF because I knew 1 + 1 should equal 2. But for some reason, my body wasn’t doing what it was supposed to do.
.
Finally, a nutritionist said to me “I’ve never had a client eat so perfectly and have such horrible results. Something in your body isn’t working right. You need to get your blood work done and hormones tested.”
.
Until then, I hadn’t even thought that there could be something broken inside my body on a chemical or cellular level! I thought there was just something wrong with “me” & that I just had to “work harder”.
.
I found out my body stopped making testosterone after my Hysterectomy (my blood test literally didn’t register Testosterone in my body at all!😳) I had metabolic resistance syndrome (insulin resistance), food sensitivities that were doing all sorts of things to my body…Plus having endometriosis and no longer having a gallbladder made things even harder for my body to function normally.
.
Now every time the “math” doesn’t make sense, I know  there is something off or something not working right in my body that needs to be figured out!
.
God created our bodies to work a certain way. So if 1 +1 is not equaling 2 for you regarding fitness or your health or how you feel or how your body is supposed to function, it SHOULD.
.
It’s crazy to me that at age 40, I’m now in the best shape of my life! And I FEEL the best I’ve ever felt!
.
I could have spared myself a lot of pain, depression and frustration if I could have learned this sooner. So I’m hoping that sharing this can help some of you!❤️
.
Anyone else going through this right now??🙋🏼‍♀️

Until then, I hadn’t even thought that there could be something broken inside my body on a chemical or cellular level! I thought there was just something wrong with “me” & that I just had to “work harder”.
.
I found out my body stopped making testosterone after my Hysterectomy (my blood test literally didn’t register Testosterone in my body at all!😳) I had metabolic resistance syndrome (insulin resistance), food sensitivities that were doing all sorts of things to my body…Plus having endometriosis and no longer having a gallbladder made things even harder for my body to function normally.
.
Now every time the “math” doesn’t make sense, I know  there is something off or something not working right in my body that needs to be figured out!
.
God created our bodies to work a certain way. So if 1 +1 is not equaling 2 for you regarding fitness or your health or how you feel or how your body is supposed to function, it SHOULD.
.
It’s crazy to me that at age 40, I’m now in the best shape of my life! And I FEEL the best I’ve ever felt!
.
I could have spared myself a lot of pain, depression and frustration if I could have learned this sooner. So I’m hoping that sharing this can help some of you!❤️
.
Anyone else going through this right now??🙋🏼‍♀️
