Hi everyone,

We are still at The Ex in Toronto and I have to say we have talked and met some really nice people!  I would like to thank all of you that made a purchase yesterday and I sure hope your enjoying your tea.

We were asked a very good question yesterday:  What makes your product better than the competitions?  Well.. quality for sure, but its more than that, it’s knowing when you leave or have purchased something from us you are empowering yourself and others to take care of themselves.  We know you will like your purchase and so you will share your experience – hence giving people the permission to know that it’s ok to take of yourself.  It’s a must.

FYI a few benefits of tea

• high in antioxidants (antioxidants are those little guys that fight the free radical guys, and those guys cause illness, cancer, skin conditions etc.  so we need the good guys!)
• aids in weight management and weight loss
• reduces stress levels within your body
• helps to relax and improve quality of sleep

Have a Great Day!!!

Hello everyone,

There is so much to blog about, but what I want to start talking about is my personal struggles with self-worth which reflects in my weight and skin and of course life choices.  Since my separation from my marriage of 10 years, 4 years ago I’ve grown quite a lot!  It was my shall we say, “a not so good marriage” that became my biggest blessing.  I say this because the darkness that surrounded my life forced me to see the light.  Once a person reaches bottom there are only 2 choices left, succumb or fight.  I chose to fight, and in this fight I learned more about myself, who I want to be, what’s important to me, why I make  the choses I do etc. etc.  I can’t say I’ve reached total ease with myself yet, I still fall, but I do not reach the bottom anymore. I like to consider myself a work in progress!

My purpose in sharing this tidbit of my life, and I will be sharing much more, is because I want people to know the reason for The Me Store, it’s name and why we picked the slogan Me -Taking Care Of Me.  I realized that when I wasn’t taking care of myself inside and out I was only trading kindness, in a sense I was keeping score.  What do I mean?  For instance:  I would always say to myself/partner or just vent to friend about another that here I am doing all of this for them and they do not return the same treatment.  I even do things I don’t want to do for him/them.  Sound familiar?  What was I doing? Ultimately trying to change them when really I was the one who needed to change.  It’s a real big blow to realize the change I was so desperate to see in others was in direct reflection of the changes I needed to make for myself.  I was putting my happiness/ validations / confidence in other peoples hands, and because I was doing this I was always getting hurt and feeling used hence the trade, I would do with the expectation of  feeling  validated / happy / confident.  This wasn’t working!  I NEEDED to change.  And so I am forever changing and growing personal awareness.  You can too!  I believe in people and the power they have within themselves if they choose to.  So back to the first sentence why The Me Store?  Because I need ME to be whole and full to not only get through this life but to enjoy it.  I want me to be the best me I can be internally, externally, and inspirationally.  And because I want this for myself I want this for everyone, I want to empower people but mostly women (not gonna lie, lol) to take charge of their lives, take care of themselves, know they are worth it, and most importantly know you can believe in you like you have believed in others.

If my story is of interest stay tuned I will be sharing my roller coaster weight loss journey that I am soooo still on, and more…..

Thanks for reading!

Have a wonderful day and stay true to you.

YOUR SKINCARE

Hi everyone!

Just want to share some information with you about using our skincare.

Firstly just know that what your skin does not need it will not absorb, so when choosing which one is right for you, don’t panic!  Our African Shea is an excellent all around face cream and can be used on almost every skin type.

*Application is the most important part, apply to a freshly cleaned face, just out of the shower/bath or after you have thoroughly washed your face.  Skin needs to be damp even on the wet side for full absorbtion.  We don’t want it sitting on top of your skin as this will only feel greasy and will attract dirt and pollutants creating further damage to your skin.

Have a great day and be you naturally and unapologetically!

The Me Store Team

Hello,

We want to start by introducing ourselves.  I am Tamara and my partner is Carolyn, we are a mother daughter team.  You can see our intro video on our facebook page, instagram and twitter pages (use the links at the bottom of our homepage).

We decided to start a blog so we can share our research, and our own personal journey/story.  We are sure you’ll relate and share in our stories!

The Me Store is all about you really, I have learned that if your not happy, your not taking care of yourself and your quality of life is, well…..for the most part, terrible.  Lord knows I’ve been there and won’t deny still take a trip to that unhappy place from time to time.  I can say that now at least I don’t stay, just visit.  It is important to us that you value yourself enough to take care of yourself in everyway, internally, externally and inspirationally.  When we feel good about ourselves we feel good about others, we empower others, we give and serve without expectation or keeping score.  Self Love = Love for All.   This is how we came up with our name, The Me Store – Me Taking Care of Me.  Everything starts and ends with you, so take care of you!

So wether you are looking to lose weight, fight an illness/disease, or just plain be happy with yourself we have something for you.
