Mother's Day Gift Shopping Guide (which is the BOMB!)
My Perfect Semi-Skinny Margarita recipe (which is a Cinco de Mayo party HIT)

Mother's Day Gift Shopping Guide

I have a friend that is the best gift giver in the world and she curates my gift guides by finding things that people love...

You are going to LOVE this Mother's Day Gift Guide and one of the things I'm super excited about is the instant photo printer for under $70 that I'm going to keep in my RV so people can print photos on the fly and post on a bulletin board...fun right?

Simply answer the quick question about yourself so we can serve you better and download the 24-page shopping guide:

Perfect Semi-Skinny Margarita Recipe

I love margaritas on a hot summer day but the sweetness and calories can be a bummer! There is a restaurant in San Diego called Casa De Bandini's and it serves the perfect skinny margarita. Last night I tried to mimic their recipe for a luncheon I'm hosting today and I think I did it even better...woot!

Perfect Skinny Margarita Recipe

As you can see, I tried LOTS of ingredients and used the best taste-tester I know (my hubby) as the judge:). Let me know in the comments what you think?

List of Perfect Skinny Margarita Steps

step 1

Cut a lime to wet the rim of your glass and dip in tray of course salt or Tahine (which is my favorite)

step 2

Pour 1/4 cup white tequila, squeeze a whole lime and a whole orange in the glass

Use a big squeezer and get all the juice from a lime and orange in your glass.

step 3

Pour in a teaspoon of agave nectar to sweeten and cut lime flavor

I like the Herradura brand which you can find in the alcohol section of your store.

step 4

Secret Sauce = Serve with shot of Grand Marnier for guest to pour in themselves... Cheers!

This is what makes this margarita "semi-skinny" but gives it GREAT flavor and is a hit with your guests, so enjoy.

Seriously, the Food Network did not even have a skinny margarita recipe so I had to do a ton of research and tasting to get it just...PERFECT! I promise you will love it, as well as the gift guide above. Much love to all Mothers!

Happy Mother's Day and Cinco De Mayo!

I hope you enjoyed the gift guide and margarita.

What can I say Audra. You were the very first staging company that I selected when I started my staging business back in 2017 and here I am still. One of the reasons I selected you, there were many, was "hands down" all of the resources you provided. I am a resource queen myself and you totally spoke my language. Since then, I have taken your Color course and most recently E-Design. I must make a confession here, even though I absolutely love my successful vacant staging business, I am secretly having a love affair with everything color, design & redesign.

Thank you for opening up some many wonderful opportunities within this industry for so many of us and for having a huge positive impact on my life. I look forward to 2021 and seeing what is on the horizon for you and your next award winning innovation.

Warm Regards,

I have been staging/redesigning for 20 plus years, Audra, your program/training has really fine tuned my business. I have been a little "accidental" because when you love what you do, and people love what you do, business comes without much effort. With the business plan, Black Book, marketing and numerous other checklist my business has become much more streamline, not to mention a greater bottom line.

HSR is the most comprehensive staging training I have come across. The ability to go at your own pace combined with the most detailed training sets anyone up for success. I feel extremely prepared to take my business to the next level.

I am thrilled that I have found this community and decided to bet on myself. Thank you Audra!!

If you are even considering taking this course, it must mean you love home design. STOP HESITATING! I was and am still blown away by the attention to detail, the amount of useful materials, and just the pure natural skill Audra has as an instructor. Bonus: She knows all about marketing and does not skip a beat on informing you of all of the many outlets/opportunities the staging world has to offer. With her help I was able to start my licensed business, Home Buzz Staging & Redesign in beautiful Palm Springs, CA. I grew up near the Coachella Valley & have even expanded my services to my home town of Joshua Tree. I started staging in WEEK ONE of this training! I was able to go in with a ton of confidence knowing that HSR and Audra had my back. I've already been successful in this business while staging vacant, occupied, and vacation rental homes. Airbnb staging and redesign is my absolute favorite! I can't wait to explore all of the other staging avenues! Thank you, Audra!!

This training has been truly amazing. I have spent many years helping other start their business in the real estate industry and I began to notice that the ones who didn't start with the cornerstones to build thier business are the ones that struggle to succeed. This training did just that! It helped me design my business to represent me while also giving me the direction on how to get the ball rolling the right direction and keep the momentum going.

I highly recommend the HSR Staging Course! There is no way I would have ever taken this step without all the know-how Audra provides, in addition to all the forms necessary. I love that the program is go at your own pace, and Audra is so relatable! Thanks so much!!
