Club Watkins
Hi, my name is Barb and I’m a food addict…
Hi Barb! Yeah, I’m going to have to admit it. I LOVE food. Live to eat vs eat to live. I spend about 75% of my waking hours thinking about what I’m going to eat, when I’m going to eat – it’s crazy! Luckily – I’m a healthy eater. I can make the most wonderful, clean, nutritious meals – it’s no wonder I love food. I’m an excellent cook! Last night we had company and my husband went to town, wings, poppers, fries, weenies wrapped in bacon – what?!? Where’s the salad? Where are my healthy green vegetables? I told our company that my husband was very happy they came as he doesn’t get the chance to eat like that… So, I waited until everyone was done and snuck into the kitchen to make something I wanted to eat. I made a delicious, creamy polenta and to season it I added Watkin’s Organic Chicken Seasoning, so good! I went out to the garden, picked a zucchini and a green pepper – sliced them up and sauteed them in olive oil with a little Watkin’s Garlic Liquid Spice then when they were properly carmelized served them in a bowl over the polenta. I know I’ve mentioned that I’m losing weight – 40 lbs so far, and it’s amazing to me that I can eat so much and still lose weight. You have to make a committment to yourself to get healthy. Be a food addict like me! Take a minute to go to the “buy Watkins” link on the right, don’t forget – Independent Associate #383996!
Bees!!!!
Well, I know I was going to tell you about the 2009 Seasonal Assortment – but first I must tell you what happened last night. I was weeding the flower beds – beds I’ve had for a very long time, when one stubborn weed just wouldn’t come out. I yanked, yanked, yanked – then an overwhelming buzz came over me. Ouch! Ouch! I was being stung by what felt like a million bees! I ran towards the house screaming, “help me, help me” – my poor husband came flying out of the house – I’m batting at my head, stamping my feet – yelling, “get the hose, please – hose me off!” Well, my husband, who’s had cancer and only has one lung moved like the wind and was hosing me off – I’m still screaming, ripping off my clothes (not necessarily a good thing) and trying to get the bees out of my hair – when I hear my husband going into a breathing attack! Horrible! I’m upside-down under a stream of water telling my husband to breathe through his nose, trying to get his breathing under control, finally – it’s working. What a mess we are! Anyway – I’m on fire – crying my eyes out – the worst pain I’ve ever felt (I’ve had three sons all by natural childbirth too!) I can’t take it!!! I found 7 stings on my body and one in my head. Okay, I’m becoming calm – but those stings were like jabbing fire! My husband, the man who saved my life, says “put this on it” – this was Watkins Petro-Carbon Salve. I’m like, “what? I’m dying here” he said, “trust me.” How can I not trust the man who saved my life? I open the tin, get some of that grease on my finger and gently dab it on the spots. Wait, what just happened? It’s going away?!? I’m telling you, swear to God – the pain went away. I was amazed. Totally. I still have some swelling but that pain is gone. I know I’ve recommended products in the past, but you seriously can’t go wrong with this. Click on the “buy Watkins” link and get some, it’s worth the $ 4.99!
Shopping Day!
Well, it happens once a year – the Fall/Holiday assortments become available! I can’t tell you how excited I am! Now, you know I’ve subtly hinted around in each of my posts about Watkins products, duh? Well, today I purchased the 2009 Seasonal Assortment! Loaded with gifts for giving, new mixes and seasonings – and Pumpkin Butter! OMG, who doesn’t love that? You take a nice, toasted whole grain muffin, warm from the toaster of course, and spread some Pumpkin Butter on it! I’m telling you – it’s the Holidays! Honestly, there’s a Lemon Soap/Lemon Lotion set in a wire basket that someone’s getting for Christmas! It constantly amazes me that the products I love, eco-friendly, natural and affordable can be delivered to me in no time. If you do anything for the holidays, bake, give gifts, decorate, anything – I urge you to go to the “buy Watkins” link and just browse. You won’t be sorry! I can hardly wait for the package to come and I just placed my order! Don’t worry though, as soon as I get that package – I’ll be on to tell you about it!
Money in the Bank
I don’t know about you but, because I can, I log in to my bank account daily. I’m afraid I’m not a traditional “balancer.” I look, think about what’s coming out – then determine what’s left and go from there. Every now and then I think about making spreadsheets, being more proactive vs. reactive – but, then I don’t. Oh well.
Today, a surprise! Watkins put money in my account! I didn’t even remember that it was coming! Through the month, my mother had a Living Naturally Party and her friends went wild over it! Mom even had others call her after the party was over to add orders. That kind of excitement was enough for me. I had totally forgotten that I was making money too!
Having people be interested in the products, the memories they invoke and the excitement generated from the new items is contagious. Word spread through Mom’s neighborhood and she’s having another party this month. She even has some of her friends just logging on to the website and making their own purchases!
I guess I’ll have another surprise next month! If you’re interested in having your own surprise, click on the “sell Watkins” link – go ahead, have the life you deserve…
Pizza! Pizza!
I have to tell you – I was so excited when I got my first bag of Watkins pizza crust mix (whole wheat of course!) It was so easy to make – add water, knead, let rise. I went out and picked banana peppers, green pepper, red pepper, fresh basil and some roma tomatoes. I sliced all the peppers so thin, did a chiffonade on the basil and did rounds of roma. The crust spread out on my pizza stone so nice. Then, the Watkins garlic grapeseed oil – just a thin layer – I put all of the veggies on, sprinkled a little freshly grated asiago cheese and some 2% shredded mozzarella – :15 minutes later I had a pizza you would’ve paid $25 for at Pizza Fusion!!! Unbelieveable!
I can’t tell you how glad I am that Watkins is here for us all. Gourmet, affordable and organic. It’s so important to feed your body the fuel it needs.
Have I told you lately that I’ve lost 40 lbs? If that’s not incentive – what is? Follow me people! To good health!

Be Your Own Boss!
If you were your own Boss, would you expect a lot from your employees? I mean, think about it. If you controlled your own destiny, would you (the Boss) sit back and say – take the day off, you deserve it! Well, of course you do deserve it, but people who run their own companies expect a lot from their employees and they should! When you run your own company – you have to be just as tough on yourself – you have to expect results! I’m not the best boss of me. I need to work harder. I have to find the right words to inspire you to want to achieve your dreams! Watkins can make that happen for you! Trust me! I’m a boss! Okay, not the best reason – but think about this – Watkins has been around since 1868, providing quality spices, flavorings, oils, home remedies – you name it! They have an excellent product, who wouldn’t want to sell that? The best thing about it is – you don’t really have to sell it – you buy it, you inspire others to buy it, you use it, you want others to use it – people love this stuff! A lot of times, just the name evokes memories of a long gone era – gives you the feeling of security. Makes you want to cook! And clean! Okay, maybe not clean – but it makes you realize that providing the safest home for your family is important. It’s also really great to realize that while you’re providing eco-friendly products, promoting health, supporting overall well-being – you’re earning money! It’s a win-win-win-win situation. You can be Healthy, Wealthy and Green.
