Your Skin and Your Health

The skin is the largest organ of the body and accounts for about 16 percent of a person’s body weight. It is flexible, waterproof, and covers the entire outside of the body. It performs several important roles, including acting as a barrier, regulating influence between the outside environment and the controlled environment within our bodies, as well as providing assistance to the liver, kidneys, and intestines in the removal of waste.

In addition, because so much importance is attached to our appearance (and therefore the skin), any skin problems can also have a major psychological and social impact on the person affected. This makes it vitally important to support skin health on an ongoing process.

For many years, people have made use of synthetic ingredients and chemicals in skincare and cosmetics. Nowadays, people are becoming more proactive about their health, and there is an increasing demand for pure, natural products for skincare and cosmetics, as well as an awareness of the importance in supporting skin health via systemic support.

WATKINS PRODUCTS             The natural way

Being an organ of the body, the skin should not be seen in isolation. In fact, skin health and vitality is best achieved by pursuing systemic health. Following a healthy diet and exercise routine helps to support the body as a whole and can have excellent results on skin health if adhered to regularly. A good night’s sleep is also one of the best tonics you can give your skin, as all the cells of your body are rejuvenated while you are sleeping.

Remember that anything that affects your liver will affect the appearance of your skin, as your liver and skin are closely linked in their efforts to purify and cleanse the body. Cigarettes, alcohol, recreational and prescription drugs and even unhealthy, fatty fast foods can all contribute to a sluggish and unhealthy liver, which will in turn affect the health and appearance of the skin.

Natural remedies have an excellent record in the maintenance of skin and systemic health and are well worth exploring in a quest for skin support. 

Alternative to Vioxx

On Thursday, September 30, 2004, Merck & Company Pharmaceuticals announced a worldwide recall of Vioxx, a top-selling arthritis and pain medication drug. This recall was based on evidence that showed an increased risk of heart attack and stroke after 18 months of use. Millions of people take either Vioxx or a similar drug, Celebrex, for relief of arthritis pain. Although there is no recall on Celebrex at this time, its similarity to Vioxx has raised concerns among health professionals and patients.

Watkins Linimax® contains glucosamie. For over 25 years, physicians around the world have prescribed glucosamine for joint discomfort.

Watkins and the Wise Woman

There are many options for home-based business these days. Some are good, but most are really bad choices for a variety of reasons.
The purpose of this is to not run down one company or another, but to share with you several reasons for considering Watkins Incorporated as your choice for a home-based business.

I recently began my Watkins Business and have quickly built a part-time business that will one day grow into a full-time income while working just a few hours per week and I have also met some wonderful people and made some incredible new friends that I would have never come into my life.

What led me to choose Watkins over many home business opportunities I reviewed were the following attributes and personal criteria I seeked in the company I wanted to represent:
Watkins has an outstanding reputation for producing quality products.

The company was founded 143 years ago in 1868.

Watkins has a strong management team that truly cares about its associates.

Watkins manufactures a huge line of fantastic products, 350 in all.

The products Watkins makes are traditional products for the home, family and personal use that every household uses. (This is very important, because so many times you see one-product companies and companies that make products that are difficult to sell because no one uses them regularly, or no one has ever heard of them).

 Watkins makes detergents, window cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, vitamins, diet products, lotions, hand creams, insecticides, natural supplements, and hundreds of other products every American or Canadian uses at home.

Watkins has an outstanding compensation plan.
 (You can literally begin earning money during your first week in the business.)

Watkins uses a network marketing business model, so you can build a six-figure income in 3 to 5 years if you introduce others to Watkins, as you earn residual income from anyone you introduce to the business, and anyone they sponsor as well.

Watkins offers a money back guarantee on every product it manufactures.

 The company is great about standing behind its product line.

Many families have relatives that have used Watkins products all their entire lives, so you don’t have to waste a lot of time educating your customer base about Watkins.

Watkins offers all associates an online e-store (join in January and get a special offer)to sell products online, but also accepts orders by phone or mail as well.

Watkins has never had a single product recall in its 143-year history. Thus, manufactures all products it makes according to very high standards.

You do not have to quit your job to begin a Watkins business.

You can operate a Watkins business under 10 hours per week and still build a successful Watkins business.

You can pick and choose the hours you work, thus time flexibility is a very valuable asset and reason for joining Watkins.

Watkins product quality meets such high standards and its products are so good that customers quickly become Watkins lovers, making repeat orders easy.

Watkins training, through both Watkins and the Watkins Summit Group, and support from my group... It's a Family Affair past n present will teach you many ways to market Watkins products.If you want to learn more about the Watkins home-based business opportunity, click this link.

What makes it a Family Affair

Hi there ...I know I'm usually talking shop on my blogs but I'm going to start adding in things from the past n present (ummmm that sound familair) that brings joy and memories to mind

Maybe you can help me out today, cause I'm in need of ideas


My girlchild becomes a young adult this January and for her 18th birthday I'm at a loss for ideas on what to do for her.
Lacie Jae graduates this year and after graduation she moves into her new position as a dairy manager for some friends of ours and she will have her own home. She's a hard working girl, raised on our family dairy farm until we retired, her love is for the cows and of course throw the boyfriend Zack in there too. She milks for the farm now but after she graduates she goes full time.
Anyways, this little gal is down to earth, no fancy stuff but she does appreciate what she recieves in life, for her sixteeth birthday I really got her, when she was little we got her a electric car and she drove that thing everywhere, but her favorite drive was down the long driveway to grammies house, didn't matter what time of day it was or how many times it was, the trip to grammies in her car with her brother who didn't walk yet strapped in the seat beside her was a trip of determination for you see every trip meant grammie had a bowl of ice cream ready for their visit

So for her birthday when she was 16 I found one of those cars, the mechanics are work gave me some old keys and i put them in a card along with some roses and sent them to the schools office, of course her pals all knew what was coming next, we parked the little red car out front of the school put a big yellow ribbon on it and waited with camera in hand to snap the look on her face...ya, it was nasty what I did but did we laugh, and so did the principle, office staff and all her pals. The look on her face was priceless...don't worry she got real car later on...
So here's where I need your help..hopefully you got alittle look at how we play together,
I need something really inventive for this 18th birthday...now remember were down to earth people money is not the object...nor do I have any for that matter (who does these days and not to mention the fortune going out for Graduation things, good thing that only happens once heheehee)
Can ya help me girls? 
Here's my beautiful daughter Lacie Jae

Before You Decide....Know Your Vision

                      How Important is Vision in your Life?

                   Vision is the single most important aspect for

                     reaching our destiny in life.

                     “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

If you lack vision, several things happen: you lose your way, you lose your purpose, and you lose your passion - three critical elements to achieving your dreams and goals.

Before you start looking into any work from home business, sit down and commit your vision to paper, this will help guide you to the right business.

Consider the fate of Smith-Corona – what were they famous for? They pretty well had the market on typewriters. Then what happened? They lost their vision; they were content with typewriters, and in a nutshell, had no vision for word processing, and about five years later, they shut down. They lost their vision, and they lost their way.

Successful people in real life are people with vision. Steven Covey said, “successful people begin with the end in mind.” Wayne Gretzky said, “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it was.”

I certainly haven’t met anyone yet that hasn’t had to make the effort to succeed, unless you were Forrest Gump of course. But that’s not real life.

The reality is that when you let circumstances rule your life, and not vision, you go from failure to failure, from calamity to calamity.

                   Vision causes us to pursue our purpose.

                       So how can you create your vision?

          Start with what you want to accomplish in your lifetime…

· What do you want to Be, Do, Have and Give?

   · Where do you want to go with your business? Why?

·       What will it do for you, your family, and those you love?

·          Is there anyone you want to help that may have helped you?

·           Do you need to plan for your children’s education?

·             Do you want to be financially independent so that you

                 can donate your time and energy to a cause you love?

·                  Perhaps you need to get out of debt

                    or buy yourself a new safe & dependable car·

          If you woke up today and had all the money you needed,

                                   what would you do with it?

                          What would you do with your time?

Once you take the time to create your vision, stay close to it. Don’t let circumstances get in the way of your destiny, let your vision guide you to your destiny.

Start today..take hold of your life.... if you would like to know more about how I go about creating my vision....let's start here

   Please take the time and have the vision when deciding on your new business. I'm not after you just to get you to sign up for myself, I'm wanting to help others like myself who has asked herself what she just asked you above.

Don't go into a business just because its

inexpensive to get started, or everyone else seems to be doing this.

Make sure you have plenty of support and a great product with a excellent reputation.

Just click on the go button and see for yourself how a great income opportunity there is working side by side with me .

Take Care

It Doesn't Take alot of Reasoning

                                        It Doesn't Take alot of Reasoning                               

     The New Year is fastly approaching... 
         are you looking to change your life....

Be the person in charge of your life

 and spend your time building up your  success… How about starting right
                                         now and right here                                   
not someone elses.

 

Are you tired of being cooped up in an office all day,

your a stay at home mom but would love to earn an extra income for your family,

or have you lost your job ,

or would you be simply looking for a new line of work?

 

The truth is, the world is filled with opportunities and you do not have to limit yourself to the traditional type of work.

Take a minute here and look at just the few important reasons why you may want to consider a business opportunity that is affordable and anyone can start.

 1) A small business opportunity can help you to achieve your goal of owning a business of your own. You will be working on building a business of your own that will help you to secure your future and guarantee residual income. Why continue using your skills and experience to help someone achieve their dreams when you could be using them to achieve your own dreams? Instead of feeling underappreciated for the work you accomplish, you can take pride in what can accomplished. Don’t quit your job just yet, start your new business part time, a few hours a week will do. 2) The ownership of your own business can also help you to reach financial goals that a traditional job will not allow you to. Being employed by someone else simply means that your income is limited to the amount they feel your efforts are worth. Too often, this means that you will be underpaid for the amount of work you do for the company. The ownership of a business represents complete financial control over your profits. There are tax benefits also to having your own business. 3) Choosing a small business opportunity over a traditional job will also allow you to gain more experience in the business industry. By planning out your finances, product research, and marketing, you will gain valuable knowledge on how the industry works and should you ever have to return to traditional employment, you will find this experience can earn you a much higher income than you received before. It will definitely give you an advantage over other applicants. 4) This is not a get rich quick scheme. The American Dream is available to those that work hard and never give up. Abraham Lincoln once said, "Good things come to those that wait… But only those things left over by those that hustle".
