Almost There

Have you ever worked so hard for something in your life to only find yourself only an inch from reaching your goal? We have a saying in Shaklee..."everyday is a new day." Really, you never know what you might find in the day. I am about 500 points away from my goal in Shaklee and I am very confident that I could make it today! I know it seems like a long shot but I have worked so hard for this and I'm not letting it go!

I have to send out a huge thank you to my upline Lauren. She is always so supportive and keeps me motivated. I truly couldn't have done it without her. I have had my good and bad days. I have had days where I have wanted to give up! But she pushes me to my limits.

I'm know today is going to be huge. But I can't do it without the love and support of those around me!!

Let's make today HUGE!

Update of Rash

Hey I know you all are dieing to know what is going on with Ben's rash!

Well, with much time spent going to the doctor and rubbing lotion on him a hundred times a day we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Poor child! I am interested in learning about eczema and how it relates to asthma!

Last week I took our 3 month old to the Chiropractor. It's not something I would have done before having a more healthier and conscious life style. But because I sometimes get tired of taking them to the doctor and getting the same answers I wanted to see if this would help. The chiropractor was very much a health nut and I loved it. But because I am at home mostly now I can't afford to make trips there every week so we are going to try and go every four weeks. Since I have taken Isaac I have noticed he has been sleeping a lot better at night! Because he was a csection baby things aren't always squeezed out like they should be; such as their sinuses and so forth! I am hoping to eventually take Benjamin and get all of our kinks out! I would love to make it a whole family affair!

Shaklee is going awesome! We just added another person to our team, Amy! She is about 5 months pregnant and is so passionate about the products! It's awesome to share something when you try is for yourself and you get so passionate about it and SHARE it with everyone! That is what I love about this industry! I'm not in it to make money but to help people and the money is truly an added bonus!

This world isn't like God intended it to be! There is a nutrition/excercise business in my city and they ask thought provoking questions like "is it okay to give your child (18 months and younger) sugar and junk food type things?" WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I would say that I'm guilty of such a thing and because of that my child knows what sweets are! That isn't a good thing. It's like he can smell those things from a mile away. The reason it is bad that he knows what those things are is because they are not natural things for our body. That is why a lot of us are obese is because our bodies don't know how to process that sugar and frankly we don't know when to stop eating them! Because they taste so good doesn't mean they are good for our bodies or our little ones.

Until next time. Join us on the journey of a lifetime! We are making our lives healthier one step at a time. Because we are only human!!!

Sensitive Skin

What detergent do you use for your sensitive skin? Last week I had some extra laundry detergent that I used before I switched over to Shaklee. I thought I'll just use that up! It was a huge mistake. My son broke out really badly and it cost us a trip to the doctor and a prescription cream. I can't believe the huge mistake I made and now my little boy is suffering.

So I'm curious, I realize my son has sensitive skin but what exactly is in the detergent that is irritating his skin?

Here is the laundry detergent I used and the label on it

Did you read the effects of the detergent if your child swallows it, inhales it, or if it gets into their eyes? I'll post this section again.

Ingestion: May cause transient gastrointestinal irritation.
Eye Contact: May cause mild, transient irritation.
Inhalation: Transient irritation with prolonged exposure to concentrated material.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
Ingestion: May result in nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea.
Eye Contact: May cause stinging, tearing, itching, swelling, and/or redness.
Skin: Prolonged contact with concentrated material may be drying or transiently irritating to skin.

It can actually irritate your intestines and cause diarrhea and just about any other significant illness we would die to keep our children from.

This is why my child's mild form of eczema turned into an all our viral breakout!

Can you imagine what this is doing to all of our skin? Just because it smells good doesn't mean it's a wise choice. Especially when we use this on our little ones. I made this mistake once and I won't do it again.

Sometimes we use convenience over common sense. We think because something costs less that it is better for our kids and environment. Have you considered something may seem like it costs more? But with Shaklee our products last many many months! Not just our detergent! A lot of you buy in bulk and that is the approach Shaklee has. A 32 or 64 ounce bottle of Shaklee detergent goes along way!

Please email with any other specific products you have questions on. I will do my best to research it!

Commitment and Success

I often like to this of my Shaklee business the same way I think of a marriage. Sometimes when things are "rough" that is when your commitment comes in. Not everyday of marriage is a "walk in the park" and not everyday of Shaklee is a breeze. To build a business you must work hard for the things you want. No one ever said building a business was easy but someone did say "work hard for something you want." And I want to be there for my kids and husband so badly that I'm not letting anything stand in my way. The awesome things about Shaklee is that you set your pace and the goals you want to achieve. The products are amazing, the compensation plan is priceless, and the owner of the company is a man of integrity!

I hear a lot of excuses when it comes to building a Shaklee business. A lot of people are afraid they will fail. Well, I am with TEAM HOPE and we don't let people fail. The only ones who fail are the ones who give up on their dream. I spent 6 long grueling years being a college student and oweing 80,000 dollars and at this point in my life I have never been more successful or happy. I am where I need to be (at home with my kids) and being a mate to my husband. It's not fair for my husband to work in a society where he isn't valued for the hard work he does and I want to be his Proverbs 31 wife and be his help mate. My husband works hard everyday and I am so proud of him.

As conceded as this sounds, I am proud of myself too! Because everyday I wake up and I know my goal is to be home with my children. God has placed this business into my hands and it's up to me what I do with it.

Isaac is waking up :-) I'm so glad I get to be here to answer to him!

God has us in His perfect will and for that I am blessed and thankful!

Soooo Excited

Hey! I am so excited about all of this stuff going on in my life. I actually should be going to bed but I wanted to share a few Shaklee products and review them before night time!

CHALLENGE:
Every day your hair collects dirt, oil and pollutants which can damage the surface
and structure of your hair and increase stress on each strand as hair clumps and
tangles. Buildup of impurities and styling products accelerates the damage.The result
can be hair that is limp and dull, lifeless and hard to manage. Unfortunately, many
shampoos actually do more harm than good as they strip away essential oils, rough
up the hair’s surface, and sap the hair shaft of its strength and vitality.

ProSanté® Revitalizing Shampoo

ProSanté REVITALIZING SHAMPOO & PURIFYING SHAMPOO:
Two shampoos that work as a team to provide a personalized cleansing regimen for
every hair type.
Increases shine and bounce. Uniquely moisture-balancing cleansers allow
Revitalizing Shampoo to clean without drying, while Purifying Shampoo
removes residue without stripping.The result is a protected natural lipid and
moisture balance.
Improves behavior and balance. Revitalizing Shampoo infuses hair with
humectants to smooth the hair cuticle and pump up the volume. Purifying
Shampoo maintains healthy oil balance so hair stays flake-free, frizz-free, and
naturally bouncy.
pH balanced and safe for use on all hair types, even permed and color-treated hair.
No DEA, SLS or SLES. No harsh ingredients to harm the delicate surface of the
hair shaft or irritate the scalp.
Features Scalp Health Complex, a unique combination of 10 vitamins, minerals
and herbs that nourishes and revitalizes scalp and hair.


WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM ProSanté REVITALIZING SHAMPOO
& PURIFYING SHAMPOO?
Men and women of all ages and all hair types, even colored or chemically
treated hair
Anyone with thin or thinning hair
Anyone with damaged hair
Those with very dry scalp or hair
Those with excessively oily scalp or hair
Anyone seeking to avoid irritating chemical ingredients such as DEA, SLS or SLES
Anyone who has not seen visible improvements in their hair using a single
shampoo or even a combination of popular shampoos

My Review::
I ordered this this month to try and I have actually never gotten so many compliments as I have this week; on my hair. The scent of the shampoo is sort of flowery and it's so light and concentrated that it doesn't weigh your hair down. I've also noticed since using this product that I don't have fly aways and that my "color" is staying the color I dyed it and not some washed out color!

Why is Shaklee's shampoo so AMAZING?

Nature’s Gentle Answer:

ProSanté shampoos feature an extremely mild cleansing
system based on plant derived ingredients. This system lifts
out dirt, oils and pollutants without disturbing essential
moisture and without irritating the scalp. Each shampoo
also features the Scalp Health Complex, to nourish and
revitalize scalp and hair. As a result, they maintain the
natural pH and oil/moisture balance that encourages a
healthy hair renewal cycle and restores strength, shine and
resilience to your hair.

To gently cleanse and restore
youthful bounce and shine:
Revitalizing Shampoo
Balances scalp and infuses hair with humectants, helping to
reduce tangles and maintain moisture balance and sheen.
Each use leaves hair looking and feeling:
• Clean – Removes excess oil, dirt, and styling products.
• Strong – Doesn’t strip hair of essential moisture so
hair cuticle stays smooth and resistant to damage, even
while wet.
• Bouncy – Anti-static and non-drying so hair retains its
natural flex and resilience.
• Invigorated – Features Scalp Health Complex to
soothe and moisturize, leaving scalp feeling comfortable
and energized.
To deeply cleanse while protecting
natural moisture balance:
Purifying Shampoo
Provides gentle, thorough, deep-down cleansing to eliminate
dirt and oil buildup without stripping the hair or scalp or
damaging hair color. Each use leaves hair:
• Clarified – Frees hair of accumulated sebum,
environmental pollutants, and deposits from styling
products. Restores shine and enhances natural hair texture.
• Volumized – pH balanced to protect the hair cuticle and
guarantee body, lift, and luster.
• De-Stressed – Directly addresses environmental
challenges by protecting moisture and lipid balance.
• Flake-free – Features Scalp Health Complex to reduce
the appearance of oiliness and flaking, and help support
scalp’s natural microflora balance.
