Body Prosperity Review

The book Body Prosperity by Marilyn Jenett Founder of Feel Free to Prosper is for anyone who has ever thought they wanted to change the way they looked and learn to be at peace with their body.


I am a very firm believer that we do create what we have by what we believe. How many lottery winners have you read about and they all said they knew they were going to win. I have heard that so many times from not only lottery winners but people that enter sweepstakes.  If you what something to change than you have to do something different. A saying that I have told the kids a lot is - A fool is someone that wants something different but keeps doing the same thing and expecting something different. And most people including myself want to look different and get rid of extra weight but keeping doing the same thing - Dieting! And I know that calling it a different name of a diet isnt really doing anything different. That is why most everyone has been on so many different called diets and still are not where they want to be. 


Did you know... Every word we speak, every thought we think, and every emotion we feel is recorded in the subconscious mind. Through repetition or with enough faith or emotional impact, the subconscious will accept our words as a command and will create subjectively and also attract and magnetize circumstances, conditions and persons to ensure the manifestation of our “order”.

Even words spoken casually can bypass the conscious mind and drop into the subconscious and take root. It has been said, “the subconscious mind cannot take a joke.” Seemingly harmless expressions, if accepted by the subconscious, can produce undesirable results in our lives.

Something to think about...How many times today have you said aloud or to yourself, even casually, “I can't afford…”

Excerpt from Lesson One "The Spoken Word"   Feel Free to Prosper  another book and program  from Marilyn Jennet



I will update in a few days if I see any change after applying these principles.

Castle Baths Review and $25 Giveaway

I recently was able to go on an awesome $25 shipping spree at Castle Baths. They have a great selection of  Natural Baths, Spa  and  Pet  - Products with Purpose, Pampering, Beauty and Hope.

I spent a lot of time with Crystal as we tried to pick just one item from the huge selection of Bath & Body Collectios ~ Spa Gift Baskets ~ Spa Skincare ~ Anna Natural Pet products.   I finally decided that what I wanted to get was a combination of body and soul. I picked the Meditation Blends. There is also Gifts for Clients ~ Energy Blends ~ Relaxing Blends ~ Annointing Oil ~ and more. I picked the Prayer Body Wash and Prayer Body Lotion Mist Spray. I was really drawn to the reminder as I am so busy with 6 kids. A perfect time for me to take a few minutes for myself in the evening or first thing in the morning. And while I am relaxing in the shower or tub without any kids around. I can also put my thoughts on being thankful for all that I have and Who I give the credit to for it. I can also use it as a remind for taking the not so great things that come up and take it to the Lord in prayer before putting the mom hat back on and facing the day. I also think this would be a terrific gift idea for anyone that is facing any problems. To give as a reminder to that person to let them know you are praying for them and to add to a gift basket. The body wash is very nice and lathers up nicely. I like the soft smell of the body lotion mist.

There is also great products for Your Pet like the 3 pack Doggie Shampoo Bars in Aloe, Oatmeal, Lather or Honey.  Each Bone is original size and shape and texture of a real dog bone! Each bar offers a great shampoo bath for your dog or any dog lover. There is also pet shampoo for dogs and cats ~ gift sets ~ stain remover ~ and grooming powder.

Stanley Seagull by Cathy Mazur Blog Tour



Victoria is just really starting to get into books and listening to the stories. So I was happy to be part of the blog tour and to read it to her.  You can follow the blog tour at Stanley Seagull and read all the great reviews that are on the tour.




Meet a young seagull named Stanley. Follow him as he wanders far from home and tries to find his way back. Join Stanley on his journey as he learns how humans affect the balance of nature.





Victoria sat and listened to the complete story and had a comment about the bright colored pages and animals.  Each page is filled with great illustrations so that even those to young to read can find a story in the pictures.  The story is filled with excitement and action that  Daniel and Christopher joined in the story time. It teaches children that there can be a problem if you choose not to listen and get caught up in having fun doing something. And it also shows them that you can fix that same problem if you work it out and find the answer you need.

The release date is June 2011 and has 28 pages.



























I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.comhttp://www.tomoson.com/?code=BOTTOMe722740bb91c5694c21f2c3a5b05b131">Tomoson.com>. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Skoy Review and Giveaway

One person is going to win  a pack of multi use Skoy Cloths.


SKOY cloth is a ...

100% biodegradable

Absorbent

Re-usable

European-made

Clean

and Fun…

Multi-use cloth


The SKOY cloth is a fabulous, absorbent, biodegradable and natural multi-use cloth. Our re-usable earth friendly cloth is perfect in your kitchen, bathroom, and on most surface areas in your home or office. SKOY cloth can be used in place of your sponge, wash cloth or paper towels.

It is a European made product and 100% biodegradable because it is made from a natural cotton and wood-based cellulose pulp. SKOY cloth is a chlorine-free product using water-based colors and inks. After an independent composting test, SKOY cloth broke down completely within 5 weeks.

The SKOY cloth is a durable product due to the reusability factor and can last months. Using a SKOY cloth is equivalent to using 15 rolls of paper towels in an average home. With the high cost of paper towels, as much as $2 per roll, SKOY cloth is the obvious choice for your wallet and the environment.

The SKOY cloth has an absorption factor of 15x its own weight. As a result, producing the most superior cloth product available. Imagine using 15 sheets of good-quality paper towels at once… This is how a wet SKOY cloth will feel in your hand.

The SKOY cloth is long-lasting because of the wash ability feature. It dries quickly, so it is not a breeding ground for bacteria. Have you ever used your sponge, then smelled your hand and it reeked of horrible bacteria? That will never happen again if you microwave your SKOY cloth regularly. It is also dishwasher and washer/dryer safe. Cleaning your SKOY cloth will keep it healthy and germ-free. 

The cool and unique designs will make cleaning fun!

I handed one to Robert and Michael as they were cleaning the kitchen. I just told them to clean with it and see what they thought. Both of them said they liked the cloths and that they really absorbed a lot of water. They also both said that they were better than using a sponge because when cleaning the food cleaned right off of it. And that with a sponge stuff would stick to it and make it hard to keep cleaning with them. The cloth is easy to clean and sanitize in the dishwasher anytime you want to clean. I also like that when the younger kids wanted to clean up a mess there was not a puddle of water because with a sponge they would forget to squeeze out the extra water that would stay in it.




In response to inquires from local schools about raising environmental awareness through fundraising, Skoy has created a fundraising opportunity.

How it works

Skoy provides fundraising order-forms and a few product samples for show (see pictures to the right). Once the fundraising period is over and all order-forms tallied, the fundraising committee will submit their order. Skoy will ship out within 10 business days from payment receipt.

The product

We have created a customized print for school fundraising, which we combine with 5 regular colorful Skoy cloths into to an unique 6-pack, see picture to the right.

How much does my school get?

The children will sell each pack for $10, of which $4 will go to the fundraising. Consequently, the school will purchase each pack for $6. That is a 40% gross profit for your school!
If shipping is required, the school is responsible for the shipping cost — if you want to use Skoy’s shipping service then the cost is $0.15 per pack.

 





To Win -

I will be contacting the winner directly so an email is required to be contacted. One comment per entry but the mandatory one must be done before other ones count. Open to the US. I will pick a winner on October 5th  with random.org. Contest ends October 4th  Midnight Central time.

The
Scrap4Treasure program is the ONLY indepth and interactive guide that teaches you the safe way to Find & Recover Scrap Gold, Silver, and Platinum. By following our precious metals recovery guide you will unlock the secrets to safe methods of scrap gold, silver and platinum recovery.



I was given the program to review on how to get started. And finding out how to make money with scrap and how to find it. It starts out very detailed and includes information on how to safely get started. Robert is also very interested in learning how to start this and has been reading every word and it is written in terms he can easily follow.  There is detailed description of equipment that has gold and silver. And videos of how to find, locate and remove the scrap4treasure.  I really like the part that describes the four parts of metal and a quick test to determine what type. This is a very indepth start to be able to make extra money from scraps that you may have or can find from flea markets to trash dumpsters. As it steps you from finding items with metal and how to remove the metal. It also helps guide you on how to sell the metals you have recycled. And I am sure that both Robert and Michael are going to start working on making money with these ideas from scrap4treasure. This is something that anyone can get started doing from teenagers to seniors.
