So we have a super exciting video today. I literally am so excited. So let's jump in. Back history is to why this transpired. If you didn't know, prior to my career moved to human resources, I was a human resource manager for about three years. I was an entrepreneur. I was self-employed. I owned several coffee shops, both in fitness facilities in the VA hospital, local to my area, as well as several drive-through coffee shops where you drive up, order your coffee and head on your way. I've always been passionate about being self-employed, having my own business, being a small business owner. I've always been passionate about that as well as supporting other small businesses. We try to buy takeout from local restaurants. I try to support small businesses both on Etsy, on Amazon and online in general when I'm purchasing products. My ornament for this year's Christmas tree, several of the Christmas gifts that I'm giving. I've always just been a big proponent of not only being a small business, but supporting a small business. When I revisited my career into human resources, it was great. It was nice to have that steady income after transitioning out of coffee shops and being self-employed for 12 years. But it just wasn't where my passion lied. Don't get me wrong. I do love human resources. I love helping others, being that pillar for the employees in good times and bad times, but it just wasn't where my passion lied. And that's what kind of prompted me to start my YouTube channel. And here we are today. I'm a YouTuber, I'm a real estate agent, and once again, I'm an entrepreneur. I'm also passionate about helping others. Hence why I have a YouTube channel and a Facebook group. And if you didn't know, part of my Facebook group involves challenges. We do quarterly challenges where we make goals, we track those goals, we have Zoom calls. And it's just a great way to stay on track and a little bit of extra motivation in reaching your goals every single month, every single quarter. And in fact, with the four challenges every year, you can constantly be in a challenge mode and have that extra support and motivation in reaching your goals. I'm also someone who's passionate about planning. I'm a list maker, like I've mentioned. I'm someone that uses several planners. I have a content planner, a day-to-day planner, a real estate planner, and a calendar that I use during these challenges to track my goals and to have a visual of whether or not I've reached those goals. And what we do is we put stickers on the calendar spaces when we reach our goals. So that's just kind of a fun way. It's a motivation to pop a sticker on there at the end of the day if you've stayed within your calories, done your exercise, had some self-care, drank your water, whatever your goals may be. That's a great way to have them visually in front of you that you've met those goals. So I've always been passionate about having something in front of me visually to see my goals. Hence my 2020 vision board and soon to be my 2021 vision board. So as I prepared to move into 2021, which hopefully my friends is a much better year, I wanted another visual source to track my progress, to track whether I stayed within my points or calories, to track whether I really invested in a little bit of self-care or maybe my workout every day, did I drink my water? I wanted a way to be able to track all of that. So being the entrepreneur that I am, I developed my own product to do just that. I made this self-care calendar. You guys, this is my dreams and passion coming to fruition. I am so excited about it. I made it in reasonable size. It's the size of an eight and a half by 11 sheet of paper. I made it comprehensive no matter what your goals are. Maybe you're not losing weight. Maybe you're maintaining. Maybe you're thinking about starting an exercise routine in the new year or maybe you really struggle with getting in your water or even self-care here and there. This calendar encompasses everything you need to reach your goals, whatever your goals are. This little baby right here is my love. The love of my life, my passion in my hot little hands and I'm so excited to share it with you. Each month is color coded with a background that's seasonally appropriate. So January has kind of snowfall fall. February is hard. March is St. Patrick's Day. There's a little bit of holiday or seasonal cheer on every single page. You'll notice on the far right, there is a column for you to write down your monthly goals. We don't all have the same goals. Some of us are in maintenance. Some of us are in weight loss mode. Some of us aren't doing anything weight related but we have other goals like drinking water or getting in a good workout. So you can write on the right hand side whatever your goals are. It can even be financial goals, household goals, personal development goals, whatever your goals are. There is an adequate space for you on the right side of each month to write out your goals. I also included a motivational quote each month because I think it's important, again, to have a visual reminder of why you're where you are in your life. What are you trying to achieve? And that little bit of extra visual motivation to get you there. In each day of the month, you'll see some little check boxes and in the bottom right-hand corner of the calendar you'll find the legend of what those little symbols mean. What I included in this calendar were four of the main things that are goals for most people whether they're on a weight loss journey or not. Number one is self-care. Are you doing a little bit of self-care every day? Maybe that's just enjoying a cup of coffee in your robe, on your couch, with your kids. Maybe it's actually painting your nails or taking a bubble bath or even cleaning up your kitchen or your home to make it feel a little bit more tidy and organized. Whatever your version of self-care is, it's important to do a little bit of that every single day, whether that's big or whether that's small. So I created a check box each day for you to check off whether you performed a little bit of self-care. To the left of that box is a knife, spoon, and fork. Did you stay within your calories, your points, your macros, whatever it is that you're tracking? Was your food on point? And if it was, go ahead and give yourself a check in that box as well. We all know that weight loss happens in the kitchen and fitness starts in the gym. So you can't out-exercise a bad diet. So it's important to have your food in check whether you're losing weight or in maintenance mode. Right below that, you'll see the water droplet. Did you drink your water? Whatever your water goal may be. As you know, my water goal is a gallon of water every day. That may not be your goal. So in that right hand column under my goals is where you'll write down what your water goal is. And if you reach that every day, give yourself a check. And lastly, you'll see the muscle icon. And that is whether or not you did intentional movement. It doesn't have to be a workout. You don't have to run a mile, a marathon, jog around your neighborhood, just some intentional movement. Maybe it's a 10-minute walk around your house or walking out to get the mail and then taking a little extra time to yourself to walk down the road. Whatever your version of intentional activity is, it's important that we get about 30 minutes of that every single day. And like I said, it doesn't have to be a workout. It's just intentionally moving our body, maybe elevating our heart rate a little bit and just getting up and moving around. So if you did that, give yourself another check mark. And remember, your activity goal is going to be different than everybody else. And that's why I included, again, that space for you to write down your individualized goal. And lastly, there's some extra space above all of that every day for you to write down what you're doing that day, whether it's an appointment or something that you have to keep track of. That space is for you to use as you'd see fit. Basically, use this as not only your planner, but also a self-care calendar, a goal calendar, a weight loss calendar. It's literally everything rolled into one. That's what makes it so exciting. I wanted something that was simple, that was easy to tote around. I mean, this is literally thin, made of a heavyweight paper. This is something that you can keep on your desk, keep in your car, wherever you need to have a visual reminder and a calendar to plan your life, that's where this comes into play. It is the perfect size. It's lightweight. If it's in a laptop bag, a backpack, whatever it is that you take with you, you can slip this calendar right in there and have it with you at all times. The importance for me when creating this was to make it all-encompassing. Something that was your planner, your self-care, your fitness, your weight loss, whatever it is that you're shooting for, I wanted this calendar to have everything that you need. So you don't have to go out and buy several planners. You don't have to buy $50 or $60 planners, two or three of them to really track everything going on in your life. It's important for us to make health and lifestyle easy. And if we have it all in one place, that's easy. So you're probably wondering how you get a hold of this calendar, how much does it cost, and what's involved in getting one of these in your hot little hands. I wanted to make getting the calendar to you easy. So what I did is added a link on my Jen Clayton Nutrition website. It's attached to a payment processing system that's safe. All you have to do is order the calendar directly on my website. It will be shipped to you free of charge. The price actually includes shipping. I personally decided to ship these calendars myself. Not only because I wanted to make sure that you received them, I wanted to throw a little extra something in the packaging and make it personalized. Thank you for supporting the small business that I've created and to give you just that little bit of a personal touch. So I will be doing all of the shipping, but the price for the calendar includes that. It is only $15 and that is for the custom self-care, weight loss lifestyle planning calendar for 2021. It makes a great gift for someone on a healthy lifestyle journey or someone that just needs a little bit of help getting in things like self-care and a workout and staying on track. It's an affordable, thoughtful gift to give to someone who's on a healthy lifestyle journey. I'm so incredibly excited for this calendar. It is my dream come true when this was created. And I wanted to let you know, in addition to the calendar, I have another little something, something up my sleeve. And as soon as it is ready to go, of course, I'll be sharing that here with you on YouTube, on my Facebook group, on my Instagram. So make sure that you follow me on Instagram and that you're also part of my Facebook group so you don't miss that exciting announcement when it comes out as well.

Number one, for your love and support of my channel. Number two, for being my friends. You guys are literally my friends and I love you so much. And most importantly, thank you for supporting me with this calendar. It would mean a lot to me if you supported my small business, ordered yourself a calendar. Maybe gave one as a gift, whatever the case may be for you. It's not something that's going to give me a lot of income but it is something that was important for me to share with you. And as my community, we all have the same calendar. So when we're talking about things, when we're sharing experiences, when we're posting in Facebook or on Instagram, you can share your calendar and we all have the same one. We can share our goals, we can support each other and again, you're supporting a small business.
