"SEABREEZE"

A serious dilemma...

2010-02-17T06:11:00.000-08:00

If you doubt that we ALL need to change our personal care products to natural, non-toxic, chemical free - and yes, Glimpse is all of those, then you need to watch this link to this video because I was shocked and appalled at what I saw
http://video.yahoo.com/watch/6431545/16676271

I've been bewildered about why people do not pay attention. Why they "think" the US Govt protects us.... the personal care industry (cosmetics, etc.) are NOT regulated - doesn't that scare you? It does me and I'm doing something about it. I'm NOT selling you anything - I'm merely trying to educate you. Don't be blind...watch this video from the link above and you'll see why I'm so passionate about educating everyone -- young and old.

Post Thanksgiving thoughts...

2009-11-27T06:34:00.000-08:00

A great day was had by all. Many things to be Thankful for. One of the things I am thankful for is people who read this blog. There are so many things that I want to accomplish and so many topics to cover. I feel truly blessed that I constantly update my own knowledge of what is healthy and what is not so I can share it with my readers. We're all busy but it's important to know what is fact and what is fiction. So on that note, I would like to share a list of books that I think are crucial for EVERYONE to read so they can make better choices. "gorgeous Green" by Sophie Uliano... "Beauty to Die For" by Judi Vance and "Not Just a Pretty Face" by Stacy Malkan. Do yourself AND your children and those you love a favor by reading any one of these.... together we can make a difference. Blessings to all!

A halt in the trot...

2009-11-25T11:14:00.000-08:00

We all set goals for ourselves. Some big, some small. I could have come up with a thousand reasons why I am not ready for my 5K Turkey Trot tomorrow but then I would would choke on my turkey dinner tomorrow. Sad to say, I've fallen short of my goal - something I'm not very proud of. I am not ready to do this race tomorrow. Life got in the way and things took a turn and I am pulling out of the race. One thing is for sure though... I know that next time I set a goal this big I MUST set it more than 3 1/2 weeks before it is to occur. Being human sometimes means admitting when you're not up to snuff. I feel good though knowing that I can give my body the rest it needs right now and then come back even stronger. Anyone out there who has fallen short of a goal (no matter how big or how small) cut yourself some slack.. I am! At first, I thought, how could I have let this happen and then I realized that I'm human and we all have inadequacies. I'd rather pull out knowing that I'm unprepared rather than go ahead and possibly get injured. So for that recognition, I am "truly grateful" this Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

It's my duty to inform you!

2009-11-23T04:53:00.000-08:00

As an advocate of natural health and what you put in and on your body directly affects what happens to your health, I feel compelled to alert people about this. Since Turkey Day is approaching, you should know that not all labeling of food is in your best interest.
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!

training interrupted but ok

2009-11-17T13:13:00.000-08:00

Well training for my 5K has gotten a bit interrupted. Had to have an MRI done today on my breast but I am confident that it is nothing. I take all the necessary supplements to assist with good health. In fact, this new Pericarp Oil is truly like 'liquid gold' because it takes inflammation down so quickly... and the healing properties are amazing! Put it on a bruise and it's gone in 3 days! Unbelievable! So training continues tomorrow and the race is a week from THIS Thursday! I hope I am ready.. I will be. These tests of late have really made me think that taking care of my health is the most important thing. Take time to smell the roses, take a stroll on the beach, enjoy the dolphins playing, let the sun beam down on your face and the wind through your hair. Enjoy life..it's important. Life is good... stay tuned.. blessings to all.

Unlucky Friday the 13th?????

2009-11-13T12:34:00.000-08:00

It's Friday the 13th and it's not the unlucky day everyone thinks it is! That's a myth.. it's about being grateful for what you have right now! Luck is simply "your own thoughts" being inacted and manifested...I just spent 2 1/2 days in Orlando and we are SO lucky to have been able to travel whenever we want to! Since I am still training for my 5K Turkey Trot race I incorporated some training into our little excursion. I started out my day with a good healthy breakfast, pink grapefruit, coffee (told you previously NOT giving up my one cup of morning coffee! LOL!); a delicious slice of my homemade quiche. Took a hot shower to get ready for the day since it was CHILLY out and I finally tried my new goodies that I ordered - the brand new, toxin free, chemical free personal care products XanGo just came out with "Juni" ..... I LOVE this new Shampoo (I've got naturally curly hair and it was terrific on it!! The normal frizz I would get if it were damp, rainy or humid did NOT occur while we were at Sea World - it just didn't frizz up!!) The conditioner was delightful and I LOVE the new vegan-body-bar - all have a hint of lavender (naturally) and I felt SO CLEAN!!! I can't describe it, but the clean feeling my hair had was 'different' from using regular shampoos with all those chemicals. It felt clean and light! Then we left for our day at Sea World and since I couldn't do a "power walk" I figured that walking ALL over SeaWorld would be the next best thing! Walked we did - from one end to the other! We were there for 6 1/2 hrs so I got PLENTY of EXERCISE! saw the dolphins - fed them - how extraordinary THAT was! Touched the sting rays - ick - they felt slimey. Saw several shows and was mesmerized! At the shamu show, they acknowledged all the Veterans in the audience since it was Nov 11th - Veteran's Day - and it was so moving it brought tears to my eyes and those around me! The day was wonderful but exhausting. So stay tuned for my ongoing training and journey to good health...God Bless...

One Step at a time...

2009-11-09T11:03:00.000-08:00

Well hi everyone!
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?

2009-11-08T12:43:00.000-08:00

Okay everyone, been gone for a while but now I'm back and better than ever!
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...

2009-08-04T11:50:00.000-07:00

Hello friend!

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...

News and update!

2009-08-04T11:48:00.000-07:00

WOW! watch this wonderful video by Beverly Hollister, XanGo on our amazing Pericarp Oil and an update on our wonderful XanGo Goodness Meal Packs feeding starving children worldwide - 600,000 children to date have been fed!

An amazing discovery...

2009-07-06T11:02:00.000-07:00

Been gone for a while because there's just been so much going on - so my apologies - but I assure you, it is WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD!!!
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!!!!

GOT WRINKLES????? Check out the Clinical Test results on Glimpse!!

2009-05-16T06:55:00.001-07:00

Well if you haven't been following the trends lately then it's time to take a look! The health and wellness industry is pushing hard and fast and about to make yet another mark and continues to soar to new and incredible heights! How about a mineral makeup that actually delivers results AND is REALLY NATURAL? You've seen the mineral makeup category all over the place with names like L'Oreal, Maybelline, etc. BUT have you ever "LOOKED" closely at ALL the ingredients? Well I have and it's scary to see what else is in all of those products. Well, XanGo, who has brought us the incredible life-changing mangosteen juice AND GLIMPSE, the first "nutrition for the skin" with truly ALL natural ingredients (www.glimpseskincare.com) is now about to launch their mineral makeup in the next few months! STAY TUNED!!!! Check out the clinical test results below for Glimpse!

In addition to various dermatological and safety testing, these third party clinical tests focused on anti-aging performance and results while using Glimpse daily. Testing was conducted over four and eight week periods for varying U.S. populations age 35-60. Here are some of our most exciting results!

HYDRATION:
After four weeks, 84% of participants showed an increase.
After eight weeks, 90% of participants showed an increase.

SKIN TONE:
After four weeks, 80% of participants showed a more even skin tone.
After eight weeks, 90% of participants reported more radiant skin.

WRINKLES:
After eight weeks, 80% of participants reported diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

HYPER-PIGMENTATION:
After four weeks, 60% of participants showed a reduction in the appearance of hyper-pigmentation.
After eight weeks, 100% of participants reported improvement in the brightening of dark spots.

We're back!

2009-04-16T06:37:00.000-07:00

We are back on line! We apologize for the many days without the blog but we experienced significant technical difficulties with our domain! All fixed and raring to go!
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,
Paula

Be an educated consumer...please!

2009-03-31T13:54:00.000-07:00

It always amazes me when someone comes up to me at a Trade Show and when they see the table full of products like antifreeze, motor oil, floor cleaner, etc and they are next to toothpaste, tooth whitening products, shampoo, soaps, expensive perfumes & colognes, shaving cream, etc. with a sign in between them that says: "WHAT DO THESE PRODUCTS HAVE IN COMMON?" that people have NO idea they contain the same chemicals!
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!

MAGAZINE endorsement...

2009-02-27T09:21:00.000-08:00

So exiting that the mainstream publications are recognizing "GLIMPSE" in the recent articles. YOGA Magazine, Issue 73 has a great article on our products, "XanGo & GLIMPSE" recognizing them as 'inside/outside nutrition for the body and skin! Womans World magazine also has recently written an article on the amazing results of the SuperFruit, "the mangosteen" for the body and skin.. The trend is organic and natural and as we mentioned in earlier blogs, be careful about these buzz words, because NOT all organic and natural products are created equal. You can however, rely 100% on these 2 products as they deliver exactly what they say... the results have been amazing... the critiques are astounding.. it boggles me when people say, "Why should I care what I put on my skin"? DUH...because it our LARGEST ORGAN of the body, YES, your SKIN is the largest organ and what you put ON it, is absorbed direcctly into your bloodstream and goes right to your other organs to deal with - your liver, pancreas, gallbladder, etc. So be kind to that temple that God gave you.. treat it with respect... try Glimpse (or XanGo) today! Contact me for how!!! You won't be sorry...til next time... cheers,
Paula

It's all about YOU...

2009-02-16T14:02:00.000-08:00

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!

Head out of the clouds....

2009-02-12T13:47:00.000-08:00

I have to say that being able to talk to the President of the U.S. 2 days was a thrill beyond my wildest dreams so I'm getting my head out of the clouds 2 days later and getting back to what I love most...educating people and getting the word out there. I went looking for a natural, organic shampoo the other day and while in the HEALTH FOOD store, I had to read the labels of 14 different shampoo bottles BEFORE I found one WITHOUT a chemical in it! Boy did this make me mad!!! Here I am in a HEALTH FOOD STORE, where I THINK I am getting 'natural' stuff only to be shocked to find I'm not! Has this ever happened to you? My point to this is that THAT is why I am SO passionate about what I do.. to let people know WHAT I feel to be some of the best products out there - like GLIMPSE, 3SIXTY5 & XanGo! REAL, honest to goodness "natural" products that do the body GOOD! No fillers, no toxins, no junk..nada, zip, ziltz! Believe me, I won't put anything in the mouths of or on my loved ones unless I'VE tried it and see results first hand myself. So please, if you or someone you know could benefit from ridding their bodies of their aches and pains, go to my website www.THERIGHTJUICE.net OR if they want to rid acne, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, fine lines, wrinkles, saggy skin, or just feel and look 10 years younger, have a look at the pictures on this blog below... you'll LOVE what you see. People ask me, "what do you use on your face?" I just say, "I've been GLIMPSED".

History in the making...

2009-02-10T16:06:00.000-08:00

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....

2009-02-08T05:51:00.000-08:00

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 using

14 days later without make-up! AMAZING!

See for yourself....

Make a list of all your personal care products and then go to this website and find out for yourself..
ARE YOUR COSMETICS SAFE?
http://www.cosmeticdatabase.com/
Type in the ingredients of whatever products you are using to find out if they are safe. You will be shocked! Then we'll talk! I found that several of the products my own daughter was using were causing several health problems!

a gentler way to healthy skin

2009-02-06T11:04:00.000-08:00

Ladies and gents (because this product IS geared to both sexes - men LOVE this as much as women do!)... if you are truly looking for something REALLY natural AND good for your skin...then you really need to see the pictures listed for you...From birth, everything that is put on our skin is crucial to development, so WHY would we put toxic chemicals on our babies who have no education and can't fend for themselves? And more to the points, why would we as ADULTS when we have so much access to education, continue to make such poor choices and feed our bodies more and more toxins?
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....

2009-01-31T10:43:00.001-08:00

How educated are YOU on your personal care products? What about the personal care items you use on your babies? As the mother of a 27 yr old daughter, I wish I knew back THEN when her precious little body was intrusted into my care about the dangers of what was 'absorbed' on her skin could have a detrimental effect on your development and health. It's not enough that we are Moms feed, clothe, love and nuture our children. It simply not enough that some of us have college degrees and 'think' we are educated. It's not enough that we try to do everything we can to protect them based on what we are 'told' is safe. For too long we have been lead to believe that because the FDA or the doctors, even the 'industries providing such products' are safe for our consumption and use. Here's why..... because it's a BILLION dollar industry for them so WHY would they tell you it was unsafe to put these dangerous chemicals and toxins on our bodies? Did you know that a MAJOR baby shampoo manufacturer claims that is tear free to use on your baby? But what they are NOT telling you is that the ingredients in that shampoo along with their body lotions are SO TOXIC to your baby AND you (in their adult products) that it can cause such things as ADD, ADHA, weaking of the cellular structure, premature aging, cause allergies of many kinds, be carcinogenic (cancer causing), disrupt hormones, damage skin function, thin the layers of the skin, developmental and reproductive toxicity???? Do I REALLY need to keep going? The list is VERY long. That's the bad news!
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!

You gotta' see this!

2009-01-27T14:37:00.001-08:00

For weeks now I've been telling you about the benefits of Glimpse toxic free skin care and now I want you to see first hand some photos that will just blow your mind! These photos were taken just a few short weeks after using the products. This woman did HALF of her face with Glimpse and walked around for these weeks with only half her face done... People see her, ask what she's done and WHAM she introduces them to Glimpse ... they can't wait to get their hands on the products themselves. If you like what you see, please contact me and I will be happy to introduce YOU to this product.
As you can see, Her skin is all wrinkled and sagged on the left side of her face in the picture below. She used GLIMPSE toxin free, all natural skin nutrition products on the right side of her face and LOOK at the difference! AMAZING!!!

Propylene Glycol? Butylene Glycol? What are these?PG)

2009-01-26T17:02:00.000-08:00

These are COMMON ingredients found in our skin care product and GUESS WHAT? They are also found in ANTI-FREEZE. Ask yourself why you would want to use these ingredients on your SKIN and in the engine of your car!! Both of these ingredients "penetrates the skin and weakens protein and cellular structure. The EPA considers PG SO toxic that workers are required to wear protective clothing and to dispose of PG by burying it in the ground!!! PG penetrates the skin SO quickly, the EPA warns against contact to prevent brain, liver and kidney abnormalities BUT cosmetic companies are allowed to put these terribly harmful products in your personal care products WITHOUT EVEN A WARNING LABEL. So if you 'think' that the FDA approves everything, you're sadly mistaken. And since the cosmetic industry is SELF-regulated, they can put whatever they want into our products and the 'buyer/user' beware! That's why Glimpse is such a wonderful alternative to your creams, toners, serums, cleansers because you can eat them they are so safe! THAT is not something you come across everyday AND they are results driven. Tune in tomorrow for some ingredients that are put in our personal care products that deliberately make your skin 'addicted' to get more of them.
As always, blessings and see you soon!

Do you have......?

2009-01-23T07:28:00.000-08:00

Do you have acne? Suffer from unsitely Rosacea or Eczema or Psoriasis? Liver spots? Sun Damage? Skin Damage from sunburn or scars? Aging spots or Aging Skin? Well then you should really take a look at GLIMPSE! Toxin free, chemical free... and a system of products designed for YOUR skin type. If you have Normal to Dry Skin, then System 1 would be right for you. If you have Combination Skin than System 2 is right for you. Both systems designed for the nutrition that your skin needs to heal and generate radiant, beautiful, ageless skin. Each system contains 4 products. Light, fragrance-free (you don't want to know what makes the FRAGRANCE in your products, but the words "animal urine" should say enough - YUCK!). A creamy cleaner in System 1 and a Gel Cleanser in System 2. Your toner and serum are the same in both systems and then moisturizing Cream or Lotion (again, depending on your skin type). All products are easy to use and go on light and airy..... they make your skin "FEEL" wonderful.. I did ONE side of my face and I could SEE the difference INSTANTLY.. amazing! I'm 52 and my skin has never looked better! Let me know if I can help you to look and feel healthier... I'm just a click away!
have a wonderful day! Make it extraordinary!
Paula

Antioxidants....

2009-01-22T13:43:00.000-08:00

Did you know that antioxidants play a major role in the health and well being of your largest organ? Did you know that your largest organ IS YOUR SKIN? Well, it is and therefore you must pay attention to what you put ON your skin just like you should pay attention to what goes into your body. The Mangosteen Pericarp contains potent antioxidants that protect the skin against environmental damage. The Mangosteen Pericarp Fermented Polymeric Extract are 30 times more powerful than Green Tea and 40 times more powerful than Vitamin C. Plus the other pure botanical ingredients that work synergistically to energize, neutralize and balance the skin and those include the mangosteen, cucumber, grapefruit, orange, yuzu and lemon. The Bio-Active X3 Complex is cultivated in Japan through an innovative bio-fermentation process of the Mangosteen Pericarp peel. This amplifies its purity, potency and energy far beyond traditional science processes, multiplying the Xanthone efficacy. I would love to get your questions and also find out what YOU are currently using so I can show you if it is safe for your body or not. You only have one body... it's not a dress rehearsal, so take care of it...

Holistic experience...

2009-01-17T10:30:00.000-08:00

Hi again everyone,
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...
Blessings, Paula

It's pure and simple....

2009-01-14T11:03:00.000-08:00

Hello friends,
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.
blessings,
Paula

Clean, Green and best of all.....

2009-01-12T14:56:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone!

....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...
Blessings, Paula

Ingredients that may be affecting your health...

2009-01-07T06:59:00.000-08:00

Remember a few days ago I asked you to look at your personal skin care products? Even your BABY products....things that say they are safe to use are really wreaking havoc on your health and those that you love....even things in 'antibacterial' soaps and handwipes are dangerous - if these products have TRICLOSAN in them - BEWARE - they are Hormone Disrupters and pose a serious health concern. Recently a study done across the country on girls ages 11-18 and all the personal care products they use in the course of a day.. the blood work on all these young girls tested positive for a minimum of 11 hormone disrupting, cancer causing, dangerous chemicals. Ever wonder why so many young girls are getting the periods earlier and earlier? why so many new cases of breast cancers are showing up? Thyroid issues earlier and earlier? So many children with learning disabilities and ADD and ADHD? Here's just a FEW of the dangerous chemicals in your personal care products ... AHA, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, BHA, Beta - these 'thin the skin'; Alcohol, denatured - this is cancer causing and causes developmental & reproductive toxicity; Ethoxydigycol = hormone disrupter; mineral oil = causes premature aging (*NOTE: Baby Oil is 100% mineral oil!) These are JUST a few that you should be aware of... Glimpse products do NOT contain any of these and safe to use. Contact me and I will show you how you can use Glimpse to obtain results you've always dreamed of!
Have a wonderful day, keep smiling...
Paula

If you can't pronounce it.....

2009-01-06T17:51:00.000-08:00

Hello friends,
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!

A marked difference!

2009-01-03T10:22:00.000-08:00

How is GLIMPSE different from other products? Well, first of all and MOST IMPORTANT, there are NO TOXINS in it! That should get you excited from the git-go! Glimpse is the only product on the market today that contains Bio-Active X-3 complex - XanGo owns it! It has a unique bio-fermentation, cold-processing technology that far exceeds anything on the market. If it wasn't as good as it is, then WHY would 2 of the major Cosmetics companies one of which was Estee Lauder, ask to buy the technology from us? Well, here's the thing, if you knew what all these companies were putting IN your skin and beauty products, you would be SO angry... but let's not get into that just yet. Let's just discuss how truly careful XanGo was when creating this incredible, ground-breaking, category creator (again!) with Glimpse. Beverly Hollister, the creator of this amazing product, has spend decades to create these products that are ALL NATURAL, toxin-free, after she saw her own mother die of breast cancer from the thousands of chemicals over years and years being put on her skin through everyday products. It's finally here. We'll talk more tomorrow about what you will NOT find in GLimpse and how using it can turn your life around...ageless beauty... clear, healthy skin...
Have a wonderful Saturday.... cheers everyone... Paula

I'm here to help.

There is a lot of confusing information out there when it comes to "natural" and "organic" and I want you to educate you on how to separate the weeds from the chaff if you will. Not all organic and natural products are created equal. If you have question on certain products, contact me and I'll do my best to give you the best answers available and put you in the right direction of where to find things you're looking for. In the coming days and weeks, I will be detailing lots of products you're currently using and what's making you sick! It will be both an enlightening and disturbing bit of information you DON'T want to miss! Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year!

2008-12-31T11:52:00.000-08:00

It's a time for resolutions and change. 2009 is ALL about that in so many aspects. We will have a new President who will truly make a difference in all our lives.. the economy will thrive again and people's hearts and hopes will take on a new perspective. Dreams will come alive and be realized.
As this New Year approaches, let's embrace it with vigor and enthusiasm. Let's make better choices in how we live, how we eat and how we take care of ourselves in every aspect.

It's time to make our Planet thrive again with 'green' alternatives for our homes - the home with the walls and doors and the "home" that our Creator has given to us..... our bodies! We'll talk in the new year about HOW you can start making your "in-ward home" a healthy, pure temple again!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! God Bless...

What's in Your Bathroom Cabinet?

2008-12-30T05:34:00.000-08:00

Hello friends...and welcome back! Thanks for visiting...a few days ago I asked you to take a look at your skin care products and see what's listed on the back of them. Did you find things like, PEG's or Sodium Laurel Sulfates or pthalates or Dimethicone? How about Mineral Oil, Parabens? These are just a very small few but did you know they are DANGEROUS chemicals that are affecting your health?

GLiMPSE has NONE of these dangerous chemicals... it's a 'green', clean, toxin-free form of skin nutrition and there is nothing else like it on the market today! We've created it and own it! In the days ahead we'll be exploring what you do NOT want to continue putting on your skin and what you can do to obtain healthy, vibrant, glowing, skin.... Oh, and Moms, PLEASE stop using mineral oil products on your babies... you'll see in the weeks to come WHY you do not want these on you OR your sweet little angels!

Take my POLL and then tune in tomorrow for the answer.

Go out and make it a SPECTACULAR day!

Relief from Acne, Rosacea

2008-12-27T06:08:00.002-08:00

Remember Christmas Eve I posted what you might be using now just might be killing you? Well, sadly, it's true. The cosmetic industry (i.e. the beauty industry, skin care products, etc) is NOT regulated. So that means that they can put whatever they want in your products and you as a consumer have no control over it. The chemicals used in U.S. products are so detrimental to our bodies that they are wreaking havoc on our health. tomorrow I will share a few of the ingredients in your products that will astound you...I urge you to take a good look. Have a wonderful day!

Relief from Acne, Rosacea

2008-12-27T06:08:00.000-08:00

Have you been using 'chemical' beauty products to get rid of your acne, rosacea, etc.? Did you know that those things actually ONLY surpress the symptoms pushing them further down into the cellular level giving only the 'appearance' that they have disappeared? Are you ready to find out how you can 'eliminate' the 'cause' instead of surpressing the symptoms, and have clear, beautiful skin again? Stay tuned for my upcoming poll on the facts. I hope you all had a blessed, wonderful Christmas and wish you all the happiest of New Year. It WILL be a great one! We'll talk again tomorrow.... cheers, Paula

Pro-Active?

2008-12-23T04:52:00.000-08:00

Good morning friends,
Did you know that if you are pro-active in treating your skin (doing something 'positive' - not the product) WITHOUT chemicals, you can prevent and eliminate future problems - even reverse current ones? If you are uneducated about the chemicals and toxins in your current beauty products, then let me educate you. Stay tuned and tomorrow I'll give you a little insight in what you're currently using just 'might' be killing you. Your assignment is to go and look at your beauty products from your toothpaste to your moisturizer or aftershave (if you're a gentlemen reading this!) and then tune in tomorrow... Have a blessed day....and be grateful for this day!
