STOP! It's JAMmer time!

I hosted an online Jamberry party earlier this month with a fellow SLP, and I instantly fell in love! I am so in love with Jamberry that I became a Jamberry Independent Consultant!

You may or may not have heard of Jamberry Nails by now. If you haven't heard of Jamberry already, now you must be thinking, "what are Jamberry nails?" Well, they are super cute heat activated vinyl wraps that adhere to your nails (as well as gel, shellac, and acrylic). Jamberry nail wraps last up to TWO WEEKS on your fingers and up to SIX WEEKS on your toes! You can't beat that! They are extremely convenient, safe, AND adorable! You can choose from over 300 designs for yourself here!



I highly recommend hosting an online Facebook party to have fun with friends, learn about all of the amazing Jamberry products we have to offer, and earn free products for yourself! The hostess rewards are unbeatable! Plus, I do most of the work. You just have to simply log onto Facebook, comment on posts, participate in games, and spread the word about Jamberry. The best part of this is that you can sit comfortably at home while you earn free rewards!


I'm getting married and starting grad school this year, so Jamberry is an amazing opportunity for me to make some extra income. If you're interested in becoming a consultant, please join my team! You will be in very good company... many other SLPs are part of the Jamberry family!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at cmyers@mail.usf.edu or message me on my Facebook page. Don't forget to like my Facebook page to learn more about Jamberry! If you're interested in browsing all of the designs and products now, here's the link to my website: http://christinenorato.jamberrynails.net/

Since I've Been Gone...

This post contains Amazon Affiliate links for your convenience!

I have been absent from my blog for WAY too long, so I wanted to share the (exciting!) reasons with you. Many things have changed since my last post! My high school sweetheart proposed after 8+ years together... I am now an engaged woman! Our date is set for November 14, 2014, so I have been keeping extremely busy planning my wedding. I have gotten a lot done in less than three months including saying yes to my dress, booking our venue, photographer, DJ, and caterer, and starting to design our décor.

During spring break, I received a letter that I had been waiting to receive for what seemed like forever...


I GOT ACCEPTED INTO GRAD SCHOOL! It was such a feeling of relief and excitement when I opened that email. I plan on getting a post together for next week on the graduate school application process, what I did, and what you can do!

I have also been swamped at work! My school is a pilot school for a new evaluation that our district wants to adopt, so between that, tutoring before school, IEPs, trainings, working on my inquiry project (more on that later) and meetings, I have been desperately seeking time to blog. The kiddos and I have been working on some wonderful activities, including our Springing into Speech crafts!



My artic kids were excited to make flowers to brighten up the speech door, and they didn't mind practicing their sounds to do so! They really enjoyed coming up with spring themed words with their sounds in them. 





My kindergarten classes have been working on living/non-living things, and my PK classes were learning about plants at the same time. I read Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert to my language groups last week. We then made some pretty cute flowers... If you take a close look you'll see that the roots are the kids handprints! They loved this, and they all did an excellent job labeling their plants!


So now that I am back to blogging regularly, I am back for good!
