You say you want a Resolution!!!

Barb — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 01:04:40 +0000

CHOOSE HEALTH! That’s it. It’s a new year what better resolution can you make but to “choose health?” Whether it’s the food you eat, the supplements you take, the cleaning products you purchase — choose health!

I’ve lost 41 pounds – that’s right 41 LBS! You can do it – choose health. When you look at your food choices – pick the healthy ones – go organic. Stop putting toxins and chemicals into your finely tuned machine. Use supplements that will enhance your choices, homeopathic remedies that keep you safe – not alter your body chemistry.

When you clean your house – use organic, green, earth-friendly, love yourself products! No carcinogens, artificially colorings, POISIN!!! Choose HEALTH!

Everyone wants to be Free!!!

Barb — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 13:34:06 +0000

It’s true. Free is another one of those words that really makes you think – what is “Free/Freedom?” For me, it’s that feeling you get when you know anything is possible. For me, freedom has a lot to do with success – I strive for financial freedom.Taking a vacation, just picking up and going – seeing something in a store that I just can’t live without and being able to buy it. Knowing that I have the ability to do anything without restriction (as long as it’s legal of course!) whenever I want. So, how do you become free, achieve freedom? Well, if you’re like most of us you have to work at it – try your best every day to reach the apex of your career, to find that Zen moment when you can say, “I’ve arrived!” I’m still working at it – but I know I can do it. I received a great email today from a couple of my upline leaders, Fran & Dave Daisey – I’d like to share it with you:

“To realize the fullest potential of Watkins/Summit Group you must continuously grow your knowledge, polish your attitudes, expand your view of the world and reinvent yourself. This brings us to one over-riding conclusion. For you to become highly successful in Watkins you must become fully responsible and totally accountable for your success. You must become self-directed, self-motivated, self-starting and self-navigating. You must develop an unyielding level of self-determination. Believe that you can take charge of your destiny and you will change your life. Recognize that the YOU who got you to this point in your life is not necessarily the YOU who will be capable of achieving your dreams. You must create a different YOU for a different tomorrow! This may require some serious personal re-inventing but YOU CAN DO IT!

Watkins can’t make you successful – only you can. The Summit Group can give you all manner of support and guidance but it can’t make you successful. You may have an excellent Sponsor but he/she will not make you successful. You and only you can achieve success and create wealth in your life. Achieving success and building wealth begins by creating a new YOU!”

I’m going to do it. YOU can too! The holidays are coming soon – I’m already hearing ads for Christmas, stores are already stocking and preparing for it. Watkins products align perfectly with the seasons – gifts, spices, treats, baking supplies – I’m going to make it happen and anyone who wants to join me – click on that “Sell Watkins” link to the right - WE can do it.

Okay, now I know I’m always blogging about Watkins – it’s true. I believe in the company and I believe in The Summit Group, which operates the sales force. The Summit Group is making a tremendous offer to those who have been thinking about joining – it’s the cherry on the sundae – an exciting FREE training program. This program is usually offered for $139 – but if you join in October – it’s FREE. I’ll say it again, if you join Watkins during October, you’ll get all of the usual benefits of being an associate, and all the free training and support our team offers. But even better, right now you can get our $139 set of training CDs from our recent conference for free (you just pay $9.95 for shipping and handling). It’s almost eight hours of extra training you can listen to in your car, at home, on your computer, or transfer to your MP3 player. This can help you earn income with our team faster than ever before, especially since we’re currently in our most productive time of year. Between your membership ($39.95, Club Watkins!) and the training set, you get almost $180 value for less than $50. Would you like me to help you get started?

I’ve been using all the products from the Seasonal Assortment – they’re excellent! You’ve read about the pumpkin butter, the gift sets, lip tints – everything – and you can join the club before the holidays – training thrown in for free.

G-20

Barb — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 23:05:07 +0000

I don’t really know too much about the G20, however you look at it though, I live north of Pittsburgh where the G-20 will be next week. I know there are many good things and many bad things that come from this event. I only recently learned that 14 cities turned down the opportunity to host – but Pittsburgh jumped at it.

One of the events this year will be a dinner for the 20 world leaders and their spouses at Phipps Conservatory. Phipps Conservatory is one of the most green botanical gardens in the world. Their display of over 19 indoor and outdoor gardens and ecological environments is second to none. They take living naturally, and eco-friendly to a new level.

I had the privelege of volunteering there this past Friday, to wipe down railings, brick walls, signs, benches and light fixtures. You can’t imagine the beauty in that place. I urge you to click the link on the right and at least visit their website.

I am so inspired by their pledge to sustainability and green living. Every product we used to clean with was green, and environmentally friendly. every utensil in the cafe, all the plates, glasses – compostable.

I can make a difference with Watkins, you can make a difference. Make the pledge for sustainability and buy products that will save our environment. It doesn’t matter what else the world leaders will talk about at the G20 – as long as well all buy into a greener way of life!

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!

All Purpose – What does that mean?

Barb — Mon, 25 May 2009 12:02:06 +0000

First of all, who wouldn’t want to be categorized as “all-purpose” – you would be all things to all people. Well, since I’m a Mom – I think I’m “all-purpose”.

Watkins has an All Purpose cleaner – part of their Living Naturally line, it’s made with: Purified Water; Coconut-based surfactant; Natural Lavendar; and Rosemary Oil. That’s it! Not tested on animals, no harsh chemicals – and it smells so good. I’ve been known to clean a lot more frequently now that I have this. It’s true…

In comparison, I pulled up a data sheet on Formula 409 (what I used to use) and here is the second ingredient: ETHYLENE OXIDE (SUSPECTED 2A HUMAN CARCINOGEN BY IARC; CONFIRMED ANIMAL CARINOGEN BY IARC & NTP) — What?!? Human Carcinogen? Animal Carcinogen? What would our dog Achilles think of this? Now I don’t know who IARC is, but if they suspect it’s bad – it probably is. The data sheet also explains that safety goggles and proper ventilation should be maintained during use. Now, I’ve been known to do a few weird things – but if my family came home and I had goggles on while cleaning, they might commit me…

Watkins All Purpose Cleaner comes in different scents: Aloe & Green Tea; Lemon; Orange Citrus; and Lavender! It’s very reasonably priced – and it also comes in a concentrate for easy refill!

I’m beginning to think that All Purpose should mean that you can use it for anything and never be worried about the health and safety of your family and your pets. Oh – and that it should smell good too! Well, I have to go clean – I want to use up the lavender so I can get the Aloe & Green Tea!!!

Happy Memorial Day!

Living Naturally

I constantly worry about eating right. Our bodies are complex machines that run on fuel. Like any machine, the purer the fuel – the better the performance. Buying organic, might be more expensive out of the pocket – but, boy does it make life easier in the long run. Have you heard the expression “clean eating?” Fresh flavors, starting with whole products – nothing from a package. It’s what I strive for. Did you know if you shop the perimeter of your grocery store – you’ll automatically make better choices?!? I’m also a big supporter of Watkins Products – in fact, I’m a Watkins Consultant! Talk about a work-from-home job that I can truly support!

You can view all of the Watkins products – including the environmentally friendly cleaning and home care products @ www.watkinsonline.com – don’t forget – I’m associate #383996 – I’d love to hear from you – feel free to contact me!

The Power of Pure

Barb — Sun, 17 May 2009 19:22:11 +0000

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!
