What's in YOUR Pantry (worth swapping out?)

Powerful pantry swap outs. Something we could all benefit from!

These days, our food isn't giving us the same nutrition it did about 40 or more years ago, when we didn't GET SICK as often as our families might, or the food we ate wasn't processed and fast, and nutritionally lacking in value.

I'd added the video of Brooke Thomas, whom I've started following a bit, because it IS important to examine the food we give our families and because OUR family is so highly aware now of anything that is NOT gluten-free, it's second nature to me.  

I can't NOT share good tips, right? I hope to help some of you, if you happen to be looking for some easy ideas of how to slowly incorporate new staples into your pantry.

Watch and then also READ THIS ARTICLE that accompanies the video. It also has a great "staple replacement conversion chart", which people like ME really need to rely on!  Let me know if you think this was helpful!

Why Choose? Why Now?

A quick WHY I do what I do. I started using Shaklee's products 3 years ago. I started with one product, which gradually turned into 2 -3 products, which then made me realize I knew SO many people WHO COULD benefit from the healthy effects ALL their products have to offer. They are unlike any ohter company in the market; they were the "first" multivitamin, the only company that NASA went to for "Astro Ade"; the only company that will send you back research backed by science of HOW their products work. Their stringent testing policies are so tough, I'm assured that nothing toxic will enter any of the products I use. Our "junk" pile is used by other companies.  I could go on and on. But I will share this video of a mom who uses Shaklee, and decided to also Share it with others, like I do.
This month alone, you could make $1255 in bonus money, just by signing up with our $599 pack and then signing up 3 more people at the same level. That is a HUGE profit right off the bat, and I have a team that will hold your hand and help you at every step.  Plus, you get almost a $1000 in Shaklee products, your own personal website for 6 months, and your own discount and training.  It's an amazing feeling to hear someone tell you: "you know what, your products really DO make a difference!"
Check out the special that was extended into March!!!!! You can't go wrong- any purchase that comes to 50PV or more, and you get automatic free membership + a free canister of our 180 Cafe Latte!! That's a heck of a value right off the bat!

And WHAT does 50PV look like??

Time to Detox? Let's get you started on the Path to a Healthier YOU!

Detox, EVERYWHERE! I know it's a hard decision on how to change your health, and stick to it. Did you know that about 92% of people fail on their New Year's Resolutions? Well, I have an online group that wants to HELP YOU stick to that resolution. After Jan. 4, I will have video clips to SHARE with you of REAL PEOPLE who have used our 180 program and had real success. REAL people, not "beach body" type people who start with the "before" picture (where they stick their stomach out) and then "after picture" where they are sucking in their stomach and have lost an ungodly amount of weight in just a short time. THAT is not "real life". Chances are, diets or detoxes like that are unhealthy and you will yo-yo and gain all that weight back and then some.

 

Our program is designed to change your habits, change your mindset and take about 90 days to start losing INCHES, but not muscle.  It's called 180 because a typical program that is successful should take about 90 days to lose the weight and then 90 days to MAINTAIN that weight loss (in the REAL WORLD of eating!!!)

 

A typical day on the 180 Jumpstart & Flat Belly Detox 15-Day Challenge!

 I invite you to join me on this group challenge for 15-days (or longer if you wish to) with daily checklist for accountability. You will have SUPPORT, personalized if you wish, recipe suggestions (with pictures and feedback), and exercise tips and suggestions. 

Official start date is January 7th, but... some people are already starting,  so you can join in at any time, as soon as you order your products.

 

Here's the link for our private FB group. see Files section for detox program details: 180 JumpStart & Flat Belly Detox 15-Day Challenge

You will also need the following products to help your detox:

180 Tea*

180 Smoothee*

180 Snack Bars*

Herb Lax*

Raw Veggies

Organic lemons for your water

*Indicates a Shaklee product.  This detox is specifically for Shaklee products

 

 

 

 And check out this amazing deal: 

 Yep, I will personally (out of my own pocket) send you a free min-blender.  MY own money, not anyone else, or the companies!

 

And....once you start the 180 program, you are eligible to win weekly prizes when you enter your info into the 180 app. on a daily basis. FRIENDS OF MINE have won some AMAZING things, plus a few of them were finalists in the competition and were flown to San Francisco and treated like royalty! Can't wait to share the video of that! (soon! It has to be after Jan. 4)

 

Yep! True!!!!  And........there are MORE AMAZING THINGS to share come January 4, with our new deals that will be happening! SO EXCITED!!!

 

Let me help you start the path to a better and healthier life!!

How to help your SKIN not itch!

SO much to share but in the meantime....check out these pictures!!!!

 

 

  Check this out- this child (on top) had unexplained welts/rash on his face, and after suggestions, tried the products listed on the picture, and look how great he looks! This is exactly why I love that my girls' are on these products! Safe and they work (healing from the gut on out!)

These products also help with reflux/colic, you an BATHE your child in the same cleaner (Basic H) that you clean your home with (I do!), as well as your pets, and they alfalfa also helps adults with arthritis (ME, ME!), bloatedness, and hay fever !

 

SO Many benefits to using products that are comparable to "real food" as ours are. Dr Shaklee was a chiropractor and believed that  man should "do unto others what you would want done to you". Well, as a parent of a child who has sensitive skin issues, I would want to know about these products. I therefore cannot NOT tell you about them, because even if you know ONE PERSON in your life who MIGHT benefit, why not try them? If you do NOT like them, you get your $$ back. Pretty simple!

 

Small actions of changing things one day at a time, can lead to a change in the entire health care system! Imagine not having to go to the doctor because of issues like this? I haven't had to in over a year! It's pretty darn amazing!

 

Message me on how to get a deal on these products! Happy New Year, and my recap of the holidays to come!

 

How does YOURS compare? As well as some cold/flu helpers!

Have you ever tried this? Worth a shot for the next cold/flu, in addition to other key nutrients.

As for those key nutrients....here are my favorite IMMUNITY boosters............

 

 

And how does YOUR Children's Vitamins or PRENATAL compare?  Click to enlarge, and if you have questions or think your vitamins are fine....make sure they dissolve in water. Check THIS out to prove that I'm not making this us!

 

 

Losing my .....HAIR? Is this you? Tips on this!

I'm not sure about YOU, but I've never been blessed with long, thick locks of hair. Maybe you were, but find yourself losing more hair as you age. Or, you've had children and your hair was once thick and luxurious while PG, but now, you cry when you shower, in fear of losing your gorgeous locks?

Well, I wasn't blessed with the thick hair, and I've always been jealous of thick hair, and when I was PG with both my girls, one of the few perks that came along with that was my HAIR was so much thicker and delightful to work with!

Alas, the babies came out, and so did my 

HAIR!  I find I almost have a receding hair line (thanks, Dad? since my brother got the same hair line, but he lucked out and also inherited my dad's thick mane of hair ~~ grrr!)  

Part of the reason I became a Distributor for Shaklee was the nutrition I could TELL was really, truly working in my body. Not only did my energy increase by tenfold when I started the Vitalizer, but my hair and nails eventually followed suit. You see, just taking this vitamin for a MONTH didn't magically help/solve all my health problems, just like sickness and breakage in your system doesn't happen overnight. It takes TIME. Time to BUILD UP and I'm oh-so-happy I invest in these products I'm' about to share with you-because PEOPLE: they really.do.work!!!!!!!    

My nails grow like gangbusters, and according to one of my stylist friends, yes, the Vitalizer also has Biotin in it, which is essential for STRONG HAIR!  NO WONDER I've seen such dramatic improvements this past year!

The following is a TRUE story shared with me and others for the purpose of HELPING OTHERS!  The true meaning behind Shaklee and it's 58 year old company is "sharing": sharing the options of HEALTH with others, because true health and beauty come from a stable base of nutrition.  Without that, you are liable to fall apart (hair included!)

So here is the story a fellow Distributor shared, with the intent to help YOU: If you have any questions further related to this, please comment or email me and I'll try to get in touch with someone who can provide the answer.    Read away:



HAIR LOSS: Hair loss is caused by a hormone imbalance, heredity, aging, or seasonal shedding. We shed hair in fall & spring just like the animals (we're animals) shed their coats, then new hair grows in. Actual hair loss will slow down or even stop when the hormones are balanced. Heredity and aging cannot be stopped, only slowed.


I am a stylist, salon owner, certified Hair Loss Specialist and have been in the beauty industry since 1987. I found this solution through many experiments, extensive training and research. Before finding Shaklee, I recommended another company's supplements and hair loss products. They were okay, but Shaklee has produced the very BEST results. That's why I am now a Shaklee Distributor.

The Thyroid regulates all hormones. Stress is the most often culprit of hormone imbalance, followed by poor nutrition. In order to slow and/or stop hair loss (except seasonal) the only thing I have found that works is: Vitalizer + Stress Relief Complex + GLA or Menopause Complex + Prosante System (the whole system: NOT just shampoo or just the scalp treatment) used daily as recommended on the label.

Exercise and brushing the hair thoroughly each day will increase circulation and make hair grow faster. Protein (180 or ESP ; Energizing Soy Protein) & Biotin (in Vitalizer) taken daily will strengthen weak hair that is prone to breakage, nothing more. Biotin MUST be combined with Folic Acid & Niacin in order to work (all in Vitalizer).       And FYI - a Vitalizer purchase also entails you to FREE MEMBERSHIP at any time with Shaklee, to gain access to the member pricing.

Just had to share after cleaning my grapes today..........

It's amazing to me that for less than $12, you can get this all purpose cleaner with literally "over 1000 uses!" Unbelievable.

I use it to:
as a bubble bath with my girls (helps with irritated and sensitive skin)
wash my dogs
clean every surface of my home, including stove and windows, tubs, floors, etc
wash my car, inside and out
cleans grills

cleans up lipstick like magic
ant deterrent (safe!)
my plants flourish with this on their leaves
can wash clothes and as a shower gel!
could use for shampooing the carpet
the list goes on and on and on and on...............................

Because of changing my cleaners to this brand, my girls have had ZERO complications with asthma and we haven't used our nebulizer in years!

Get rid of the Nasty Bugs - with our Basic G!

Cold and Flu bugs? I've already talked about wanting to be healthy with nutritional supplements! And I've mentioned the cleaning products, but this season, MAKE SURE you have our Basic G in your home as well!! I send the wipes to school with Keifer, keep some in my bathrooms, use them in the pet area  and I use them in my car!! Door knobs and light switches, anyone?

 

GET RID of those nasty little bugs that hide everywhere!

 

Why do I love them? 

 

The wipes are great for quickly wiping off the most often-touched areas,  and I use Basic G for big jobs.  Like floors, pet stains, and bathrooms.  

Yep, Basic G is our Germicide product. 

 

So why are these better than your average disinfectant?

• Cleans
• Deodorizes
• Free of bleach and alcohol
• Gets rid of Fungi (mold) & viruses
• Kills 99.9% of E. coli and salmonella bacteria
• EPA registered
• Basic G is super concentrated 1 quart make up to 64 gallons.

 

Remember, I'm only offering SPECIAL pricing through me until the end of the week (HALLOWEEN TREAT!!).

Message me NOW on how to get these products in your home. 

 

And our Basic G is now on the MN Approved Products for In-Home Daycares. Yep, we are "official" in our job!

Not sure about YOUR mutli-vitamins!? Research shows......

This is great news for anyone wanting to the charge of their own health and their children's health:

Child multivitamin research published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that supplementing children's diets with multivitamins improved their brain function, cognition and mood in a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled. Another study with men found that study volunteers in the multivitamin group did better on stress, mental health, and cognition tests. Let’s not forget the ladies! Yet another study found that women who got the multivitamin supplement had improved moods and they felt less tired while doing better on cognitive tests than the women who got placebos. IMO, spend the extra money on a good brand.

Contact me if you would like to know more. With clinical scientific studies you know you are getting the best ones in the market.  I immediately felt a difference with this Blister strip of nutrients- within a week!  If you don't feel a difference, 100% money back!!! No worry!

Don't get SICK! Help is here!

Don't get SICK this winter! All I've heard from friends is how SICK everyone is! I've been good (knock on wood) and so has Keifer. Kyla caught a cold but has managed to hold off the fever and lethargy, with just a cough that sounds worse than it is making her feel.

We are loading our immune systems with the products that are all natural and have nothing artificially added: we are providing a "basic" framework of health and then I'm adding some immunity products for me and Keifer on top of the basics.  Without a basic nutritional foundation, HOW can your body defend against germs attacking it?

And just how am I doing this to help our health?

Our Children's chewable, the Incredivites have Lactoferrin, which is found in Mother' s Breast Milk, and is clinically proven to fight the flu. Yep. My K2 takes them- 2 a day. Keifer used to as well, until she started the adult vitamin- Vita Lea, which is a great, solid basic multi vitamin. I alternate her days with the "with iron" or "without iron" formula.  She takes that because she takes other swallow able vitamins- including the probiotic (which is the equivalent to 2000 cups of yogurt, and is so good for your immune and gut),  Vitamin B, which is "the happy" and "energy" vitamin, and Vitamin D, which is also great for your immunity. I also give her our OmegaGuard, which is pure pharmaceutical grade, to ensure she has 1) no more eczema or itchy skin (it works! I have testimonies of my friends and daughter!), and 2) it helps her brain!   I finish filling her little pill box (yep, she has her own) with the Immunity I formula, which many of my teacher friends swear by. 

 

 

Me? I take the BIG guns. I take the Vitalizer strip, which has ALL the above vitamins, plus some C, and carotenoids. It has it all in one blister strip, which in the end saves me $$ and space! It's so easy to toss in my purse.  I love this- plus it ensures free membership (and $$ back if you're not happy with it!). I can personally guarantee you're going to FEEL the difference within 5 days; I did. Now, IF I forget to take my strip in the morning, I feel like I'm missing something, or I wonder if I'm getting sick!

 

I also take our NutriFeron product- which is the BIG guns I mentioned. It contains Interferon, which is actually given to people with cancer. It helps balance your immune system so it's "just right".  I have allergies and had a poor immune system: with these products, I'm amazing people with how healthy I've been the past year and half!  I had a friend tease me years ago about how sick I always was. Now, I'm proving to people that these products WORK!

I also swear by our Vivix: our *newly* patented, all natural product that literally *!* slows aging at the CELLULAR level. Yep, you get sick: this will help your cells HEAL, and then replicate into healthy NEW cells!  Global cutting-edge research in the fight against cellular aging and years spent in partnership with leading scientists have culminated in Vivix—a scientific breakthrough from Shaklee.  Only Vivix contains both resveratrol and a proprietary phytonutrient blend. This phytonutrient blend harnesses the powerful antioxidant properties of rare muscadine grapes and has been shown to be 10X more powerful than resveratrol alone in slowing a key mechanism of cellular aging.*

The stories I could share with you about people using Vivix and having amazing health challenges suddenly improve or heal, could take hours to share. I'm not kidding. If you know me, THIS is why I got into sharing Shaklee: the products we have ARE AMAZING.    And not only does it heal sickness, it heals your skin , dramatically improves your memory, helps you sleep, helps inflammation in your body, helps athletes recover faster, and helps your eyesight.  My skin has never looked better (along with our skin care products, that are actual vitamins for your skin), this product has done amazing things to help.

 

 

So don't wait until you are SICK to pick up that computer or phone to call or message me: start laying the framework for YOUR health now. It takes years to break down your health, and it doesn't magically improve OVERNIGHT. It will take a few months to slowly build up your immune system, so I hope you will let me help you decide what  is best suited for YOUR needs. Message me now, I won't share them here, and let's talk!
