A life worth living!

Hello my loves! So…One thing I have a very difficult time talking about…is me.  However, I have learned over the years that we are put here on this earth for a reason. I believe that whole heartedly. I believe we go through the things we go through, our struggles, or trials…our “giants” if you will, so that we can help someone else, who later may go through the same, or similar situation.  Having said that, let me introduce myself.  My name is Carolyn Goldade. I have a saving relationship with my Lord, Jesus.  I am married to a wonderful man of 11 years. He is the greatest thing that has ever been mine!  Together, we have been blessed with two adopted sons.  My oldest is 15 yrs old. We adopted him 4 years ago, and my youngest is 13 yrs old, and we adopted him a year ago.  I have recently moved to the beautiful state of Washington from St. Louis, Missouri.  (My honey is from WA.)

My journey begins about 11 years ago. I was married in June of 2000 and three months later I went to the doctor expecting to hear the wonderful news of being pregnant! Instead, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS. Since then, I have been through a whirlwind of situations. From miscarrying, to an adoption of twin girls falling through, to a separation and possible divorce from my one and only….to straightening life out, becoming a foster parent, repairing my marriage, and adopting our two sons, throughout which I gained over 100 pounds and found myself at my heaviest.  I was depressed, hated myself, and really didn’t care about a whole lot around me with two exceptions; I loved my Savior, Jesus Christ, and I had a tremendous passion for life.  Those two things pulled me out of the pit and I started to see a whole new world. I started really researching PCOS and discovered it was almost the sole reason for everything I was going through. I had no idea that my body was the enemy, and I had a choice. I could go to the doctor (which I definitely encourage if needed) and be put on all this medication that I have heard so many people complain about, or I can take back control of my body, as much as could anyway, and really change my life. I got down on my knees, cried out to God, and then went to my cabinets and pantry and threw out all the “junk” in my kitchen, and then went to the grocery store. 
It’s been a slow process, because let’s face it, organic-all natural, living can be very expensive if you don’t know what you’re doing. (And I didn’t at first) I am however learning. I have lost 25 pounds, and would like to lose quite a bit more. It’s an adventure, a roller coaster…a journey of my very own.
I then started to really see the benefits of what I was putting in me. These were the benefits of a healthier lifestyle, from the inside out. Then, I saw someone “like” Moody Sisters on Facebook. Honestly? MOODY is the story of my life! PCOS is just that….a pancreas disorder, resulting in cysts on the ovaries, resulting in MOOD SWINGS! AND I love cats, haha. So, I checked these girls out! I ordered my first product and I was so skeptical. I have tried EVERYTHING! I have tried everything from your lower end to your extremely expensive skin care line. Everything was an epic fail! I ordered products from Moody Sister’s in February. I used them for the first time February 14th, and I made a promise to myself that I would never go back.  Let's face it! Moody Sisters is affordable and I am most certainly worth it! I have been using Moody Sister’s ever since and my skin loves it!
I have said way too much, and will now leave you to your day. Thanks for taking the time to read my bio, and I simply cannot wait to meet all of you who already LOVE Moody Sisters Organic Skin Care, and introduce their wonderful skin care line to those of you who are skeptical. Those who are sitting there wondering, “what is going to set this skin care line apart from all the other skin care lines I’ve tried in the past.” Well…hang in there with us, and I promise you, you will NOT be disappointed!
Much Love!

All about Terra!

::waving from North Carolina::
A "hey y'all" would be most appropriate here!

My name is Terra and I am one of the new writers for the Moody Sisters blog! I'm so excited to have this opportunity.

A little about me...
  • I am a SAHM to 3 boys (Keaton is 4.5 years, Benjamin is 3 years and Caedmon is 1 year)
  • I have an amazing husband, Zach, who works full-time and is also in Seminary completing his M.Div.
  • I am working towards my certification as a birth doula (one birth away...any day now!)
  • I love to bake/cook
  • ...I have a horrible sweet tooth
  • We love music in our house, something is always on Pandora or the iPod (and if my older boys have a say, it's Johnny Cash, hehe)
  • I love sports (hubby could care less) ;)
I have always been 'into' green living (the best I could at the season of life I/we were in), but I really became passionate about it after our oldest son was born. We started cloth diapering when he was 9 months old and it was all 'down hill' after that ;) I have slowly been making changes throughout our home, replacing cleaners and paper products with those that are more environmentally friendly. I discovered Moody Sisters as I started making changes to my personal care products and have fallen in love.

I do not claim to know it all! I am totally not perfect (In fact, I'd be so embarrassed for anyone to discover products that I still use on a daily basis that should be replaced with those that are so much better for me!) I'm excited to be able to learn more and share with the readers and fans here about what is in conventional products, why they are not so good for us and the alternatives that are available through Moody Sisters.
