It's my duty to inform you!
MSG is sometimes hidden in food with labels that say "No Added MSG,"
"No MSG Added," and "No MSG"
Imagine ORGANIC Free Range Chicken Broth
Ingredients include "natural flavor" -- and Imagine doesn't tell what is in the "natural flavor" and/or provide an analysis of the amount of processed free glutamic acid in their product. Did you know that MSG can be disguised as about 14 different names? How about 'hydrolized soy protein"?
Manufacturers are acutely aware that many consumers would prefer not to have MSG (1) in their food.(2) Some manufacturers have responded by using "clean labels," i.e., labels that contain only ingredient names they think consumers will not recognize as containing MSG -- names such as "hydrolyzed soy protein." Others advertise "No MSG," "No MSG Added," or "No Added MSG," even though their products contain MSG.
Most offenders are small processors who are possibly being misguided by the FDA, the USDA, and/or consultants. Hain and Campbell's, both large companies, are among those who have been alerted to both the deception that they are perpetrating and the illegality of what they are doing, yet continue with what the FDA has termed deceptive and misleading labeling.
Placing "No MSG," "No MSG Added," or "No Added MSG" on food labels has been deemed by the FDA to be false and misleading under section (403)(a)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act when the label also lists any hydrolyzed protein as an ingredient since it contains MSG."(3) Thus, to advertise "No MSG," "No MSG Added," or "No Added MSG" when there is MSG in a product is illegal. BE AWARE!
Back to training... only 3 days left and sadly, I'm not ready for this! But I will keep plugging away... "ain't no stoppin' us know" is the song playing in my head.... have a great day!

One Step at a time...
Completed another day in my training schedule for the big 5K Turkey Trot I told you about in yesterday's blog. I've eaten really healthy today - a few ounces of my XanGo and a slice of 15 whole grain toast for breakfast (yes, I had coffee with skim milk and agave nectar - I am NOT giving up my coffee!) and lunch was a delicious Morning Star Farms Garden Veggie burger with 15 wholegrain bread, a little mustard and ketchup, a dill pickle and glass of ice water with lemon and of course, my XanGo again! I am ready to go!!! I'm determined to do this! It's not about the time I do the distance, it's about the distance and the commitment for me! I am GOING to see this through AND be healthier for it. I'll just keep on truckin'... thank God for my supplements that keep me going! Stay tuned tomorrow for an update....until then... Blessings to all...

Did someone say TURKEY?
thank God for my new "ELEVIV"or I wouldn't have had the motivation, focus or energy
to make this change (more on THAT, another time!)
They say every 7 yrs we go through a metamorphisis and it's true.
I'm 'kickin' it up a notch as Emeril would say (speaking of food) check out
my friend's blog FoodNetworksFanatic page - YUM!)
I'm making big steps to improve MY quality of life. Better food choices, 'cleaner' & "greener"
products for my skin and body AND exercise - thus the change - I'm steppin' out of my box and
I'm training for a 5K Turkey Trot here in Cape Coral, FL on Thanksgiving Day!
Getting in shape; (which at 53 isn't easy after 6 yrs of slacking off!)
Been training for the last 8 days ago and I'll do it! I'll be blogging about
my progress and photos up until the big event! Come back and check out my blog
to cheer me on (I need all the support I can get!)
We MUST take care of ourselves INSIDE & OUT - be good to yourself... I am!
stay tuned....

the excitement mounts...
If you have been on the slow track it's time to jump and ride the wave of excitement! With Glimpse as the ONLY non-toxic - COMPLETELY - non-toxic skin care! No one else has this patented formula.... I love the way the gel cleanser feels on my face and the spray toner is like spraying water on my face in a fine mist... it's not heavy, or oily or clingy or drying...AND after my makeup is on I spritz it again and it sets my makeup and gives my skin this youthful glow... people see my face and say, WOW, you just glow and look so refreshed..what are you doing? Aahhhh....and best of all.... it's nourishing my skin instead of absorbing harmful cancer causing chemicals that are in even the brands that say, "organic, mineral, all natural" - BEWARE of those..read every ingredient - you'd be shocked if you knew WHAT those ingredients do to you body once absorbed! Thank God for GLIMPSE! try it today... contact me...

An amazing discovery...
Men & Women, 18 yrs and older - I am very pleased to announce a revolutionary product ....as always with me, it's ALL NATURAL. There is NO other manufacturer that has this - NOR will they have it - we have 4 patents on it and it's not even released yet! On July 20, 2009 a new product (name being withheld right now for privacy until launch!) that FINALLY addresses the #1 Reason people visit their doctors offices -- S-T-R-E-S-S!! Did you know that 'hormones' address things in the body like stress, fatigue, weight gain, cognitive abilities, etc.? People think hormones are just estrogen and testosterone but they are NOT. There's much more to them than that. If you're fatigued, stressed, depressed or just feeling blue, difficulty sleeping, lack of energy, foggy thinking, hormonal imbalances (and yes, THAT means MEN's hormones too!!) weight gain, etc.. well then stayed tuned because I have been in the test market for 4 weeks and holy cow! NO SIDE EFFECTS!!! DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH ANYTHING YOU CURRENTLY TAKE...and TONS of SCIENCE TO BACK IT UP!!! Most participants in the study have experienced remarkable results within 4-5 days!!!! if you have other questions, I'll address them and you can contact me directly if you'd like at SeaSunset428@aol.com. You won't want to miss this!! AND, reasonably priced.. so contact me and I'll let you know how you can start to FEEL BETTER NOW!!!!

We're back!
I recently did a demonstration for some women on the Glimpse Skin Nutrition Products and it was so surprising to know that not 1 of these women were even aware that #1 your skin is your largest organ and what we put on it is DIRECTLY absorbed INTO the blood stream; and #2, that chemicals so toxic like those found in garage floor cleaner and antifreeze were found in their 'everyday' personal care products EVEN put into their foods, like "ice cream"! My husband brought home some ALL 100% natural ice cream (who brand name shall be omitted for obvious reasons but it begins with "B")... and when I looked at the ingredients it listed one as "propylene glycol"!!! THIS same ingredient is found in hair shampoos, hair sprays, AND ANTIFREEZE!
SHOCKING! You will NEVER find that in Glimpse or any other XanGo product because we believe that "green" "clean" and "natural" are things that the public WANTS & DESERVES for their health! So before you eat that ice cream or cookie, or rub things on your skin, please read the labels and see what you might be 'absorbing' is actually healthy. Stay tuned for an update on "why the breast cancer rate" is HIGHER than ever DESPITE years of 'so called' research.... hmmmm...food for thought on that one! Til then, take care and become "aware".
Blessings,

Be an educated consumer...please!
AND they don't seem concerned! That scares me that we live in the richest and most educated country in the world but we are ignorant as to 'what' we are doing to our health. Please read the back of your personal care products (this does NOT just apply to women) and see what's in them. We are absorbing all of these chemicals repeatedly daily into our largest organ - the SKIN - and we are making ourselves very sick. Over time they accumulate and cause terrible things to happen to our bodies. With Glimpse, you can rest easy knowing that NOTHING is harmful to your body. It actually nourishes the skin. Please go to www.glimpsebeforeandafter.com and view all the photos and stories of people this amazing product has helped with rosacea, acne, burns, melanoma, psoriasis, etc. Get educated.... you have the power!

It's all about YOU...

It's becoming more and more apparent that the Health and Wellness industry is getting to be closer and closer to the norm and not the outlandish. People are looking for more alternative methods and that is why Glimpse and it's companion juice, XanGo, are two of the best alternatives to chose. No hype, just hard scientific facts. Take a look at what people are saying and the pictures speak a thousand words:
For the past 8 years acne has had a grip on my life. I've tried glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, chemical peels, facials, microdermabrasion, masks, serums, creams, pastes and powders (just to name a few). I earned a license in Esthetics, removed all metal fillings from my mouth and have drastically changed my diet numerous times in hopes of uncovering the secret to my skin problems. Thousands of dollars and many years later my breakouts are still persistent and unpredictable. Social isolation, a feeling of hopelessness and many tears are just a few of the side effects associated with chronic acne.
The first time I tried Glimpse was on a day like most others. I examined a moderate breakout around my mouth and jaw line along with very dry cheeks. I started using the product on a Friday morning and to my amazement started seeing results within the first 24 hours. My skin felt calm, nourished and for the first time in a long time...it felt GOOD! Today my skin has no flaky dryness and my breakouts have cleared by approximately 85%. It has only been 4 DAYS!!! That's right, today is Tuesday and I am filled with joy and excitement. I am thrilled with my results and simply can't wait to see what the future weeks and months will hold for me and my skin. Thank you Xango for keeping health in mind while providing the most effective skin care product that I have ever used!

History in the making...
I have to share my incredible experience with you. I'm going to warn you right now that this Blog will have nothing to do with my normal blogs. This blog will be long, so get a cup of coffee or tea or glass of wine and settle in because the story is extraordinary.. well...at least from my perspective.
Never in my life have I ever experienced what it would be like to actually 'see' a U.S. President up close or even remotely, but the opportunity presented itself to get tickets to see our new President, Barack Obama. It started Sunday evening when we went for a drive to the Harborside Event Center in Ft Myers, Florida to see 'where' we might park the 'next' day when the tickets would be given out. To our surprise, there were already 100 people camping out for the night. We looked at each other and said, 'let's do something completely crazy and wild (for Us) and go back home, pack up warm blankets and clothes, the puppy and come back and sleep on the sidewalk in line with everyone else. We did and we made our spot. At first it felt very odd to plunk our things down on the dirty sidewalk, crammed in with all these strangers; it gave the eerie sense of what homeless was about. But then once settled, it was the opposite. It was about people coming together for a cause, for a chance to experience a piece of history and soon we were making friends with folks who just wanted a piece of the same dream we did. The evening was serene. Everyone chatting with total strangers. Our puppy, Lily making friends with folks which engaged us in conversation with folks about how long they had been there waiting. For some, it was the start of perhaps the beginning of new lifelong friends. People sharing pizza that was being delivered all throughout the night with people they didn't even know. People giving change to those who had to run back to fill the meters where they left their cars. Different types of Music playing from boomboxes and even some live music from people with their guitars. Even a young man who wrote and recorded his own Barack Obama song about change. Laughter and discussions overheard from everything to their personal journey of why they came to wait for tickets; to exchanges of the weather; where they were from originally and where they lived now. No one moaned and groaned about their personal plights of unemployment or economic disaster. No harsh words, no negative energy in the sea of people. No griping about the cold or the long wait. Nothing. The atmosphere from all those people camping out was so positive; the streets filled with energy so electrifying it could have lit up an entire city during a power outage! We slept very little as the conversations carried on through the night. The music continued but got lower and lower as the hours passed, but still no one slept more than an hour or two at a time. Finally, the sun came up and the energy of everyone continued despite the lack of sleep, no food, no coffee - just brimming with excitement and anticipation to see if you would be the one to get your tickets since they were limited.
WE DID IT! We survived 12 hours on the cold sidewalk, bundled up tight (for Florida, yes it was cold and windy overnight in the 40's) but we got our tickets. We went home, crashed and waited for the next day when we would actually SEE the President!
Tuesday morning we showed up at 8am and the line with ticket holders was already SO long. We stood in line waiting more than 2 hours BEFORE the doors opened to let us in to SIT for another 2 hours before the President arrived. Everything was calm and well organized. Security check points were quick and then much to our amazement, we were ushered up to the section to the left of the podium and stage. There we were - 6 rows from where the President of the United States was going to stand! To say we were excited was an understatement! We settled in, looking around and now seeing a few of the faces we had 'spent the night with' and we engaged in more conversation about how we "all cleaned up pretty nice"! We exchanged names and phones numbers so when it was all over with we could exchange stories and photos as well.
The moment arrived. The announcement came... "ladies and gentlemen,... the President of the United States of America... Barack Obama!" OMG - the cheers were so loud they were deafening...the sound of Hope and Encouragement had taken on a life of their own! He was so gracious and charismatic. His smile lit up the room! He gave his speech on the Stimulus package and why he had come to Florida. During his speech he was handed a piece of paper and announced to us all that he was just notified that the Senate had just PASSED his Stimulus package. He then took open questions. He turned toward the section I was in and my arm was flailing, hoping he would pick me to ask him a question. He said, "I'll take the question from this lady right here." His was facing me directly and said, yes, you right there..." So I walked to the end of the row and the lady with microphone was right there and THEN the President said, "actually I was pointing to the lady right there, way behind you but you are making me feel bad since you jumped right up, I didn't even see you, but I PROMISE, that since you got up and were so excited, I WILL come back to you and let you ask your question because I'm sure your question is a good one." Feeling somewhat humiliated I slumped back to my seat. The people around me said, "he'll call on you again, you watch"... I wondered and thought to myself, will He really do what he said? And... HE DID! He took the lady's question behind me, then went to a guy and then said, "Now I'd like to go back to the lady who I promised I'd go back to"! HOLY COW WAS I HONORED... The President KEPT his promise.. this spoke Volumes to me!!! He is a man with great integrity and honor and commitment to his word. I went to the end of the row, and took the microphone. I did not quiver or shake on the OUTSIDE but on the inside my heart was racing faster than the winning car at the Indy 500! I said,"thank you Mr. President for taking my question and by the way, I am just tickled pink that you came here to visit us!" He laughed and thanked me. I said, "my question is this... your Stimulus package totals to about $850 BILLION dollars and I know that you have earmarked alot of that for individual states for special projects, but are there any provisions within that package set aside to give back money to the people; I mean individual checks to the american family, the taxpayers?" He said "YES". He went on to explain how he was going to go about it. I went back to my seat, remained standing and the President stood and looked directly at me while he answered my question. I was so impressed by his warmth, his graciousness, his integrity and his honest, precise answer. I had been so excited I realized I had totally forgotten to identify myself and where I was from! But nonetheless, I had my day in the sun... experienced my 15 minutes of fame... I was there having the experience of a lifetime.. For the first time in my 52 years of life, I was standing not only observing the 44th President of the United States only in office for less than 30 days, but I had spoken to him directly and he to me... For me, THIS was a life changing experience and one I will not soon, if ever, forget. I feel truly blessed and very grateful for the opportunity and thank God for this moment in history.

What if....

What IF you could find the fountain of youth? What if you could clear up your sun damaged or acne prone skin? What if your rosacea or eczema disappeared?What if you could start your baby's life out without chemicals altering the structure of their health? What if you found out that the so-called 'safe' things you were using were actually making the condition worse? Well, if you really want the answers to these questions, let me know and I'll show you how. Look at these rosacea photos before and after...and the second one, where her face turned very red for ONLY 1 hour after use is because the natural ingredients worked deep down at the cellular level and oxygenated the skin cells.. look at the end result and then 14 days later as well! REMARKABLE!!

Rosecea Flare Up BEFORE GLIMPSE

Immediately after using GLIMPSE face turns very red but for only 1 hours
1 HOUR after usingGLIMPSE
14 days later without make-up! AMAZING!

a gentler way to healthy skin
I'm part of a movement to help educate and enlighten people on the dangers of what's being allowed in our skin care/personal care products. Thank God for putting me in the right direction a few years ago to get myself educated and to help others see the light - so to speak. XanGo, Glimpse, 3SIXTY5 - whole nutrition for the body - inside and out... natural sources to give the body what it needs everyday. Let me show you.. contact me today and I'll send you some information. Blessings. Paula

How educated are you on YOUR personal....
The GOOD news is that Glimpse does NOT contain any of these harmful ingredients. It was developed because a woman wanted to leave a legacy after seeing her own mother die from Breast Cancer and she knew that it highly contributed to by the many personal skin care products she used over her lifetime. Won't you take the time to see what's in your products and then go to www.SafeCosmetics.org and compare what's in your ingredients against the list of where they range on the danger/toxicity scale. Then if you'd like to contact me and find out about Glimpse, I'd be more than happy to speak with you.
blessings. make your day the best it can be........SMILE!

Holistic experience...
What do the words, Skin "nutrition", regeneration, pure, clean, simple, green, holistic, science & integrity all have in common? They represent the most highly regarded products called, "GLIMPSE". XanGo, the BILLION $$$ category creator of the original mangosteen juice, which has helped millions of people with different health challenges, has succeeded in creating another category creator with the toxin-free intuitive skin nutrition products. It's Dermatologist tested, Safe, clean formula, Botanical ingredients with Active Enzymes & nutrients, free of harsh chemicals and toxins with Gentle Cold-Processing makes it a revolutionary product of it's time. Did you know that in the U.S. over 1,100 of the ingredients used in personal care products have been BANNED in European Countries? But the United States continues to use those same 1,100 chemicals in OUR products and they are causing major health issues from from hormone disruption to cancers and other diseases. So now, we have available a U.S. Company, who is actually CONCERNED about Your health and well-being. Any age, any Gender, can use these products...
The Science and Integrity behind the products is phenomenal! A major cosmetics company (initials are E.L.) wanted to buy our technology and process.. THAT should tell you something of how GOOD GLIMPSE is!!) Simply put, Science = Xanthones... Bio Fermentation technology from Japan. BioActive X3 Complex, Cold Processing...
Regeneration = Supports cellular turnover and production of collagen
Improves tone and texture of the skin (in vitro studies)
3rd party studies with true science (clinical studies)
Antioxidants, Antibacterial, Anti-Aging... contact me today and I will get a sample today for YOUR skin type...
We'll see you tomorrow...

It's pure and simple....
In the past weeks we've been discussing what's real, pure and natural and what's harmful. I hope you have done some research and looked up your own personal care products and seen what the industry has been doing to your products that are directly affecting your health and the health of those you love. The wonderful thing about Glimpse is it's safety. With ingredients like Mangosteen Pericarp Oil, Mangosteen Pericarp Fermented Polymeric Extracts and Mangosteen Pericarp Fermented Acidic Extract you can be sure you are getting the very best of what your skin needs.
Stay tuned tomorrow and we'll go into more about what wonders of the earth are in Glimpse products which system could be right for you.

Clean, Green and best of all.....
....it really IS all natural! Please be an educated consumer and beware of all the hype of "natural and organic"...here's a fact I recently found out... did you know that as long as a manufacturer has 70% of natural ingredients the remaining 30% can be WHATEVER they want? Shocking! That means that 30% of 'whatever' can be detrimental to your health and they don't have to disclose it if they don't want to... That's where Glimpse comes in. It really IS all natural. Glimpse, for me, has made my 52 yr old face look more beautiful, glowing, fresh, than ever before! Decreased lines, firmness without stickiness, younger. I have never used a skin regime... I always just used soap in the shower, whatever soap was there! No moisturizer, toner - nada - that's! Now I take a whopping 2 minutes to apply the products and I am amazed! People keep saying, "what are you doing cause you face looks beautiful!" (and that's WITHOUT makeup!) So ladies,please let me answer you questions about it... you'll be glad you did. Remember.. if you can't pronounce it, you shouldn't use it! Stay safe...stay stay informed.. until next time...

If you can't pronounce it.....
I'm back... had a computer issue but we're back in full force!
Ok, if you can't pronounce it, you shouldn't put it on your body... in your mouth... on your hair...no place on your skin! Look on the back of all your personal care products! it's scary! Got that? I say this because so many harmful chemicals are in our personal care products that are cancer causing and dangerous to our health. That's why I love our new Glimpse products... they are toxin free, chemical free... natural and botanical... the mangosteen infused water makes them top of the line. They enhance your beauty naturally... makes you look younger..rids your skin of acne, rosacea, eczema (actually being aggravated BY the very prescriptions they give you to get rid of these skin issues, but more on THAT topic at a later date!)
Glimpse creamy cleanser, for normal to dry skin, allows you to clean your face without stripping the natural oils you need on your skin. The gel cleanser is for more combination skin and gives you clean skin and just the right balance your skin needs. Glimpse is called, "intuitive skin nutrition" because the body actually knows what it needs to give you the richest, glowing, healthy, perfect skin WITHOUT the harsh chemicals founds in other products. We'll have more details in the days to come about the other two products.. stay tuned... Here's to good health!
