Now you see it – now you don’t

I know I’ve mentioned before that my husband Bob is a cancer survivor. Well, one of the medications he was on for quite a while was Coumadin, a blood thinner. One of the side effects of this drug is that you bruise so easily, his arms are always covered with these horrible blood spots – sometimes quite large, and if you accidently hit them, he bleeds.

Well, he decided to try Watkins Petro-Carbon Salve on them to see if just dabbing it on helped. Guess what? They’re gone! It took about a week, but his arms look magnificent now! It’s really a great thing to see my husband’s confidence come back when wearing short sleeves – he doesn’t look like a big bruise anymore.

Watkins Petro Carbon Salve comes in two sizes, one for your bathroom and one you can keep in your pocket. Try the link on the right, “Buy Watkins” and give it a try, I’m glad I have it!

Bees!!!!

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009 | Author: Barb

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!

The Power of Pure

Sunday, May 17th, 2009 | Author: Barb

My husband, Bob, had cancer, or has cancer – I’m not sure how it’s stated now. He had/has Stage IIIB lung cancer, but his entire left lung (along with the tumor) has been removed. Every six months we go back to the Surgical Oncologist, go through the entire ritual of tests and hold our breath – so far, so good.

Anyway, the radiation, the chemotherapy and the multitude of pharmaceuticals that have run through him has changed his body chemistry. I mean think about it. All that stuff – while it may cure you, changes you. He gets this “red mask” anytime he washes his face. Plain old soap, over the counter cremes, lotions, aloe preparations, aqua pure – all of it – red mask. His eyebrows flake!

In our new quest for health we’ve turned to Watkins. You may have heard of their products – the vanilla, the cinnamon, the black pepper – they’ve been around since 1868. Well, they have a line of skin care products – all with natural botanicals. We have the lemon cream. It smells so good – if it were food – I’d eat it! My husband has started using this on his face (it also has shea butter) and it’s magically disappeared! Not to mention that he smells so good, the dog can’t stop licking his face!

We were so impressed, we started selling their products. If you’re interested, please click on the links provided and explore the products. There is something for everyone, from cooking to cleaning, from laundry to skin care, from supplements to spices – natural is better. We’re associate 383996 – so, please use us for your purchases!

Also, feel free to comment – I love the dialog!
