Work From Home (Actually Anywhere)

I am going to share a secret with you. I had surgery last week Monday. I could not do anything for the week but rest and more resting. I had some complications and ended up being admitted to the hospital on Saturday. I spent my birthday in the hospital. I had a second surgery on Monday. I got paid on Monday. I got to go home on Tuesday.

What is so significant about what I just shared? If I had been working a 9-5 job, I might not have gotten paid. It is the beginning of the year. Most companies only give a couple sick days for the year. Most companies make you use vacation time if you have something like this or they make you go without pay. 

My husband and I work together. He works a lot harder than I do, but even he had to take some time off because of me. Guess what? We are not getting paid from his 9-5 job for the time he had to take off because of my hospital stay. The company he works for part time he did get paid from. 

This has become something we love. We build relationships. We help others achieve a better life from fruits, veggies and berries! We do work. Don’t believe anyone who tells you they have a work at home opportunity for you that is going to put hundreds of dollars in your bank account daily by doing NOTHING! If you see something like that RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! It is a SCAM. I will never tell you that this isn’t work because it is. However how much fun is it to talk to people all day long and work on relationships? To help educate and get people on a healthy path? 

Jack can not quit working outside of the home yet, but he will be able to some day. When we started this work at home position it was so we were getting money back from the products we were using. It didn’t take long for others to notice a difference in us though and start asking what we were doing. We had not planned on this becoming a business for us. We had planned on it being products we used and money we got back monthly from becoming a VF. There were other plans for us that I didn’t know about. 

Since joining this company we have moved up three levels. It may not seem like a big deal to some but for (me) us it is a huge deal. I have been involved in just about every work from home company there is out there. I have never made it off of the ground floor. I always invested way more money into the company than the company ever invested in me. This company is different. You don’t have to go far. You can just use the product. You can choose to become a VF for the money you get back from your product. You can also choose to help others because you want to help educate others about health and you want to build relationships! That is what we ended up doing! It was the best choice we ever made.

Do you have a desire to help people? Do you just want enough to make a vacation fund, house payment, or savings account? Do you like helping people get healthy? Do you like educating and learning yourself? Do you like developing relationships (because meeting the people on this team has been amazing in itself, but reaching out to new people and developing those relationships has been amazing!)?

Maybe you don’t want to work from home but you are looking for answers to help you and your health. We can help you with that as well!

God has been amazing to this family. We have had our hard times, we still have hard times. At the same time He has been amazing to us. He has placed this company, these people in our life right when we needed it.

Do you see that “Benefits Package”? It isn’t anything I have ever seen before from any of the work at home companies I have been a part of. Not only that I haven’t seen it before but I have never felt as if the top position was attainable. 

This company is about giving. This company is about teaching. This company is about health and wellness. This company cares not only about their employees, but those who are trying to change their lives by living the business and those who are just customers using the products to change their lives.

Are you ready to work from home? Are you ready to change your life? Talk to us because we would love to help you! 

Reach out and tell us about what you have tried before? Why didn’t it work? You have to love what you do, you have to love the products you are talking about and using! These are whole food based nutrtion, is that something you can get behind? 

We would love to talk to you! It is work, I won’t lie to you, but it is so worth it! To have the freedom to be with your children, your family, your spouse. To have the freedom to build relationships and work with others in regards to something you love. To have the freedom to work your business when you can and when you want! To be able to build up and bring in an income to help your family be free! 

I hope you reach out because this has changed our life and we would love to help change yours!

Supplement vs. Nutrition Labels

Have you ever really thought about what the difference is between a supplement and nutrition label? I never did until recently. 

I did a lot of reading at the FDA website and online in general. The FDA has a lot of words and codes and graphics and examples. However some of it was a bit difficult to understand but overall I had a general understanding.

I started out by just going and looking for the difference in their definition. So I went to my favorite dictionary website, Merriam-Webster. I looked up Supplement first and found that it is something that completes or makes an addition to. Then I looked up Nutrtion and found that it is the act or process of animals or plants using food.

Our family used to take supplements. We all had vitamins we took. We all had probiotics we took. I knew we were not getting the nutrtion we needed from the foods we were putting into our bodies. I knew that since my husband and my youngest two kiddos barely touched fruits, veggies or berries that we were not helping them. So we turned to gummy vitamins for the kids and myself. We got my husband multivitamins. We added things like Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin B, Calcium and the list goes on.

Do you know what I noticed when we took them though? One of the biggest things was that our urine changed color. It would be a bright yellow most of the time about 4 hours after taking the vitamins. So what did that mean? Was my body not really using the vitamins I was spending money on? Why was I spending money on something my body wasn’t fully using? When I asked my doctor what was going on, basically it came down to I was urinating out what my body could not absorb. That caused me to question some more things, like if I am supposed to be getting so much of my vitamins from the supplements since I am not getting them from my food, and yet I am now taking the supplements to help me get what I need, but I am urinating enough out to change my urine color, how much and how often do I actually have to take the supplements to get what I need?

At the time though none of those questions stopped us from using them. We kept on using them because we felt like we were missing something. We felt tired and draggy and we just know there was something we needed to be doing.

I knew now the difference between supplement and nutrition. However I still didn’t know what allowed a company to put a nutritional label on packages verse putting a supplemental label on packages. That is where the FDA really came in, since they are the ones who set the standards.

I kept on reading and one of the biggest things was I kept on seeing that the DSHEA considers dietary supplements as food but it really isn’t food. They have to use supplement facts label if the supplement has: vitamin, mineral, herb, botanical, amino acid, dietary substance for use by man to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake, or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract or combination of anything listed above. (Woah, got it out). 

It comes down to the fact that even though foods have these items in them naturally, if you are breaking apart the foods to extract out the specific item, or breaking apart the original form, it is a supplement. You are not keep it in the natural state and you are breaking it up to create a substitute, to supplement the body in a different way. Yes it is considered food,  but since you are breaking it apart and creating a different form than what it started as, you can not use a nutritional facts label. 

Why do we do that? Isn’t the form that these vitamins come in naturally the best way to consume them? I have a few theories on why it has taken place but since I didn’t reasearch that I will keep my speculation to myself. 

What is a way to get more nutrtion from foods? Eating plate after plate of fruits, veggies, berries? I wish I had the money to do that. At the same time foods currently do not have the same amount of nutrtion it used to have. 

In order for a package to have a nutrition facts label what must it be made up of? In other words, if I pick up something from the store that is in a package, what are the requirements for it having a nutrition facts and not a supplement facts label on the package. It is really simple. So simple it is completely mind blowing! It has to be food.

Now go back to January 2016 when I was really feeling like we were throwing money down the toilet with the supplements we were purchasing. I personally wanted to feel better and was being told the only way to do that was to take medication A, B, C, and on. 

My friend, Dana has been using these capsules for a while at this point. She had been on them almost 8 years. I had heard about them many times. I had looked at them so many times I had lost count. I always came to the same conclusion, they are so expensive! So I would dismiss them and go on. As we approached February 2016 I saw a few things she was posting and was feeling a bit defeated. How in the world could I afford to eat 10 cups of spinach, 8 oranges, and so on each day? Not only how could I afford it, but what was all of that going to do to my body? Between all my awesome diagnoses and then having Factor V Leiden and having to limit my vitamin K because of the anticoagulant I was on (warfarin/Coumadin), I had a heavy weight in my chest. I was really feeling as if there was nothing I could really do.

Jack and I talked and we decided that we were going to give these fruit, veggie, and berries capsules a chance. I mean what if it actually worked for me? What if it helped the kiddos? What if it helped Jack? We had already tried so many things, why not give whole food based nutrtion a chance?

We decided to join the virtual franchise they offer. It had never crossed my mind to start another business. I wanted to avoid it. I was enjoying what I was currently doing. Jack thought why not join for the money back we will get on our orders. You are right, that really does make sense since we were ordering for more than one person. So we enrolled in the VF and placed orders for our family. Before I had even been on it a month, others at church started to notice a difference and see a change. That was pretty darn amazing. When you have someone come up to you and say, “I don’t know what you are doing but your changes are amazing and I want whatever you are doing!” – welcome to the new business! I had my first sale and I wasn’t even trying. 

That is life changing! 

You know one of the other things I noticed taking all these fruits, veggies and berries every day? My urine wasn’t changing color! My body, my families body was actually taking and processing and using all of the nutrition we were putting in it! How cool is that? I find it fascinating. We were not wasting our money by peeing excess out because our bodies were using it all! It was so worth the costs!

When it is broken down by day, the cost isn’t that bad. Plus our family is currently (and was from the beginning) taking advantage of the Children’s Health Study that the company participates in. That is up to four years of free products as long as Jack and I purchase ours! I am all for getting free products. While I feel it is well worth the cost that we would be paying for the kiddos, I did grow up in West Michigan and have a bit of that Dutch in me. When we finally broke it down, it costs me less for our capsules than to juice five oranges! How crazy is that?!

Are you looking to change the health of your family? It can be financial health as well as physical and emotional health (because when your physical and financial are balanced those emotions level out so nicely). 

We are a husband and wife who work together. We are changing the direction of our families life. Do you want to take control of your life? Are you someone who loves health and wellness? This is the perfect work from home business for you. This is the perfect get your family healthy company for you!

You do not have to join in order to purchase. You do not have to purchase in order to join. 

I would love to talk to you. This company that has a nutrition facts label on ALL of their products has saved our family! Could it be the way to save yours?

Resting Heartrate

Really excited to share an update with you! I am just about at the 3 month mark on Juice Plus and my resting BMP is dropping!

So back in 2015 in June/July I was exercising but not eating the greatest.

In November I was eating better (had surgery at end of July) but not exercising.

In March of this year I had made some major changes in lifestyle but it still wasn’t doing much for my resting BMP.

Now on March 13th we added Juice Plus+ to our daily plan and just under 3 months later my resting BMP is at 66!

I have had even more exciting things happen in those three months but they are going to be for another day!

What do you think wholefood nutrition can do for you? What do you think fruits and veggies can do for you?

To be honest I wasn’t really sure what it would do for me and lowering my heart rate wasn’t one of the things I was even hoping for! Most of the things that have been happening in the past 3 years and now 3 months have been huge bonus’ for our family!

I just get so excited!

Healthier Snack Options

The last 24 hours have been crazy. My father in law had an accident last month that required emergency neck surgery. 

He spent until this past Friday in hospital and rehab.  

Since being home he has been having some breathing issues. Last night they got bad enough that him, my mother in law and myself went to the ED. They ended up admitting him and thankfully today he was able to come back home. 

I’m glad I was able to go and help. It throws you off of your normal schedule but I would have it no other way! 

So when I got home last night (or I should say this morning) I was hungry. I probably should have just gone to bed but instead I grabbed an apple. 

There are a lot of options for healthier snacks. Fruit is great. Even raw veggies are great for a snack! 

You can also make your own “ice cream”. I use frozen fruit, but if water and Juice Plus Complete powder. 

You can also buy ice cream. Tonight I tried Yasso. It is yogurt and it was mint chocolate chip and it was AMAZING! I’m so glad I bought it tonight. 

There are so many options for healthy treats or snacks. 

How can you take your usual unhealthy treat/snack and make it healthy for you?

Have Some Fun!

Life can be totally stressful and sometimes you just need to have fun! 

A few days ago a friend helped me figure out Snapchat. We have been having a great time since then.

Tonight though has been seriously funny. It has been a couple days of stress and dead ends. So tonight we have been playing on Snapchat!

Don’t want to end up looking old and wrinkled like this family? Make sure to get your daily dose of Juice Plus in!

Hahaha 

I have found a new obsession! Put some joy and silliness in your life, it helps keep you young!

Sunday Night Party

Sunday night on Facebook I will be attending a Tower Garden Party!

This is great for anyone and you will so much. Let me say though that this is AMAZING for anyone who especially lives in COLD climates! Live in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Colorado, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, or any other place. How about New York and you live in a small apartment or even a large apartment but no green space to make a garden.

I am so excited to be able to do this here soon because I am super excited to have FRESH GROWN, LOCAL (how much more local can it get if it is grown at my home!?!) fruits and veggies!

Really it doesn’t matter where you live! This is truly the most amazing thing I have seen in a LONG time!

Want to learn about it? I hope so because it is so amazing…

Make sure you contact me before Sunday night because I am dying to add you to this!

Knowledge is Power

A while ago I was talking about how important it is to be knowledgable about how the “Schools” of aromatherapy work. Basically if you want to know what I was speaking about just go here. The basics here is not talking about actual aromatherapy schools that you would take courses at to become a certified aromatherapist. It is talking about how essential oils are divided by the method you follow with using the EO’s.

Yes there are schools where you take courses and you can become a certified aromatherapist but even before you take courses at one of those it is of vital importance to know the three schools of aromatherapy!

Most of the schools you take courses at are teaching you in the viewpoint of the British methods of aromatherapy. Which then also teaches us what?

If people are not fully educated and don’t understand that there are differences or don’t realize what the real differences are, you can’t understand why some people are writing or making statements the way they do!

Make sure you take the time to educate yourself! Make sure you take the time to understand the difference between British, German and French methods of using essential oils. Make sure you take the time to learn that most schools that you would get an aromatherapy license from is taught in the British method. That means most articles that are written and tell you not to use the essential oils neat or digest them do so because they do not believe in it. They are not using pure therapeutic essential oils.

Beware! Knowledge is Power…. The more you education yourself the better it is when someone asks why such and such article says not to ingest this oil or that, the better it is when someone asks you why YOU apply essential oil’s neat when such and such says…
