OK, so I have to bragg a little!! Most of you know that I suffered from migraines on a daily basis (4+ days per wk.).  I was ran over when I was 12, and have had headaches and migraines regularly ever since....... In August, I started taking Shaklee Stress Relief Complex and since then (3 months) I haven't had one single migraine!!! I have had a few (three to be exact ) headaches since then, but, I just take an extra stress relief complex and rub Shaklee Herbal Blend Multi Purpose Cream on my forehead and it goes away!  This makes me super excited!!!   Life is a whole lot better living without daily headaches and migraines!       Stress Relief Complex Relieves Stress in as Little as 30 Minutes Stress Relief Complex helps relax the body and mind, and promotes alertness while enhancing the body's ability to adapt to everyday stress.

Itchy Skin

Image
Many people who know me (outside of my family), do not know that I have a skin disease - Prurigo Nodularis .........or I simply call it - Itchy Skin! "Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a skin condition in which hard crusty lumps form on the skin that itches intensely. PN may itch constantly, mostly at night, or only when a light brush of clothing sets off a round of severe itch. For many, itching only ends when the PN is scratched to the point of bleeding or pain. Once PN set in full force the end is similar, and it may last years.  In many patients, the true cause is never found. Treatment is difficult. Due to the intensity of the itch patients often go from doctor to doctor looking for relief. No one treatment is always effective and several treatments may need to be tried.  Intralesional steroid injections  sometimes help those not improved with the usual treatment of prescription steroid creams, antihistamine creams, pills, and anti-depressant pills." I have struggled with t

Shaklee Basic H - 1001 uses

Image
A List of Uses for Shaklee Basic-H  Since there are over 1,001 uses it has been difficult to compile a complete list. So, here are a few to start! First, how should Basic-H generally be used? The genius of Basic-H is that it makes water, the “universal solvent,” penetrate dirt and grime more quickly while then rinsing away easily and leaving no toxic residue. Intensely concentrated, Basic-H’s cleaning power is unleashed when it is diluted in water to the strength required for the cleaning job at hand (spot-test first). GENERAL USES FOR BASIC-H2 and Basic H the Classic  CLEANING JOBS: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to a quart of warm water WINDOWS, MIRRORS: 2 to 4 drops to a pint of water FLOORS: 2 tablespoons to 1 gallon of water BASIC-G AND BASIC-H CONCENTRATE: 3 Cups H to 1 Cup G (this mix will be diluted in water as needed) OTHER USES FOR BASIC-H Some of these uses are not approved by Shaklee. You can see their official ways to use Basic-H and

Cry For The Children

    The story below is long, but good.  Saying 'NO' to abortion is something that is close to my heart! You see, I was that scared pregnant 17 yr. old, whose family and friends rejected. I went as far as to call an abortion clinic - (although I was raised in a christian home, and I knew it was wrong, I didn't feel that I had many options.) However, the baby's father was in jail at the time I found out, so I mustered up the courage to go to a Right to Life center. The lady there was so kind and sweet, not judging or harsh. ............She made me feel loved. I left the center, with a pink baby blanket, knowing for sure that I was going to keep my little baby, no matter what! Today, that baby girl is my beautiful 10 year old daughter. An artist, and a budding classical pianist! And, the best big sister ever. I couldn't imagine my life without her! "Hi, Mommy. I'm your baby. You don't know me yet, I'm only a few weeks old. You&#

Go Big Book Review

Image
GO BIG by: Cory Cotton Rating: 5 Stars I'll be the first to admit, I wasn't thrilled when I first received this book - you see, I am so NOT a sports fan! And if I had to pick the one sport I hate the most it would definitely be basket ball! However, before I even finished the first chapter.... I was hooked! This book isn't as much about sports, but rather about how to make your own GO BIG idea work!  My husband and I have recently became Shaklee Independent Distributors and we are wanting to GO BIG!  Not only do we want to both work from home and set our own hours, we also want to go on all the awesome FREE trips, drive a FREE car and live the Shaklee Dream - all while helping others - You see, we want to GO BIG! The book is broken up in to 5 sections which are the principles 'Dude Perfect' uses - Get Excited, Own It, Blink Later, Inspire Others and Give Back.  Get Excited about what you do.  Fully embrace your vision - Own It! 

Weeding God's Way

Image
I was out weeding one of my many perennial beds today (a normal, regular activity for me), when I started thinking........  "Weeding is God's way of making my life look good, so other's can see Jesus in me!"  It doesn't matter how big (proud/puffed up) I get, or how pretty I am.  If my life is full of weeds (bad habits, discontentment, or sin), no one can see that I am a born again Christian!  You see, my beds always have tall, airy grasses, bright, pretty blooms and sweet, heavenly smells, however, when the flower bed is full of weeds, you never see the true beauty of the flowers. The weeds take away from the appearance, just as sin takes away from our Christian witness! I mean, think of it, you never see an article in a gardening magazine where the picture is a bed full of weeds! No! The gardening magazine wants their readers to see the beauty of the flowers. -Just as God wants others to see Him in us! I think I may need to do better at pulling som

Milking Nigerian Dwarfs and a Milk Stand

Image
So, this past week, I started milking our Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goat aka 'Jelly Bean'! It actually went very well. She didn't try to kick at all, but she does however try to lay down, while on the milk stand.... (not sure what that's all about!) And speaking of milk stand..... my handsome hubby and daughter spent an evening and built me one.... it is top of the notch and I love it! We are using the 'Once Daily Milking' schedule by The Homestead Prairie So far, I really like this schedule.....  I separate mama and babies at night, milk after morning chores, and then let them be together all day.                                      ........and am planning on sticking with it! . Since our goats are dwarf sized.... there is no need of big buckets or jars! I have a small stainless steel pail that I keep ice water and vodka (yep, you read that right - hubby wasn't too impressed) and keep it in the freezer. (the vodka keeps the ice water from freezing).
