SLIMALUMA™ is a potent appetite suppressant

2010-08-15T20:37:00.000-07:00

SLIMALUMA™ is a potent appetite suppressant. Controlled clinical trials on SLIMALUMA™ have clearly demonstrated that it suppresses appetite.

Have you ever heard of Caralluma Fimbriata? How about Slimaluma? No, well you are probably not alone. If you have you are probably pretty familiar with what is being called the latest fat buster.
Caralluma Fimbriata is essentially a vegetable of daily use in tribal India. Indian tribals chew chunks of Caralluma Fimbriata to suppress hunger when on a day's hunt. This succulent is used amongst the labor classes in South India to suppress appetite and enhance endurance.

When we eat, the nerves from the stomach send a signal to the hypothalamus in the brain. This is the part of the brain that controls appetite. When the stomach is full, the hypothalamus signals the brain to stop eating. When a person is hungry, the hypothalamus sends a signal to the brain that food is needed.
SLIMALUMA™ inhibits this hunger sensory mechanism of the hypothalamus. The Pregnane Glycosides contained in SLIMALUMA™ by interfering with the signaling mechanism and creating of a signal on its own, seem to fool the brain into thinking that the stomach is full, even when the person has not eaten.
SLIMALUMA™ has also been shown to promote fat loss and weight loss.
This is because SLIMALUMA™ inhibits fat synthesis by blocking the formation of Acetyl Co-Enzyme A and Malonyl Co-Enzyme A, which are the building blocks of fat synthesis.
SLIMALUMA™ also increases burning of fat by the body. This makes more energy available to the body and makes the person more active and lively. It's a well known fact the muscle cells burn more calories than fat cells. So when more energy is available to the body, muscle cells burn energy faster. Muscle Cells are heavier than fat cells but they are also denser than fat cells. So they occupy lesser space and consequently the person appears more compact and trimmer, compared to before.
Slimaluma is pretty expensive, but you know what? You get what you pay for. With Slimaluma you are getting something that has worked for centuries. I highly recommend supplements with Slimaluma!

My Name is Lisa and I'm an Animal Lover........

2010-08-01T15:46:00.000-07:00

I have a huge soft spot in my heart for animals especially dogs. They are my family. The first picture is Buddy and Gracie, my 4 year old Golden/Mix dogs.

I try to give them the healthiest life ever. I did not get them from the Human Society but from a home where they had 27 dogs. They were not cruel or abusive to the dogs at all but they also couldn't care for them and keep them healthy & give them the attention they need and deserve.

I am a huge believer in the Human Society. I have donated alot to them in the past year and try to give more and more. The next step for me is to give some of my time as a volunteer to at least help the dogs feel less afraid during their stay there and give them the attention they deserve and love that they always give to us. I live in Arizona and often go on the Arizona Human Society website to see what events or up coming. They are having one on August 14th their 12 annual Pet Telethon. Maybe you could take some time out of your day and log onto the Human Society in your area and see how you could help out the animals that don't deserve the hard lives they have been living.

Take Care,

May 5th - Cinco de Mayo

2010-05-04T18:45:00.000-07:00

Lisa and I have spent a great deal of time in Mexico. In fact we lived there for 2 weeks of every month from 2006 through 2008! We loved it there and loved the people and culture. We thought we'd give the real reason that Mexico celebrates Cinco de Mayo. It's actually celebrated more in the US than in Mexico and my opinion is that it's really just an excuse to drink.........a lot!!!!

Cinco de Mayo is a date of great importance for the Mexican and Chicano communities. It marks the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla. Althought the Mexican army was eventually defeated, the "Batalla de Puebla" came to represent a symbol of Mexican unity and patriotism. With this victory, Mexico demonstrated to the world that Mexico and all of Latin America were willing to defend themselves of any foreign intervention. Especially those from imperialist states bent on world conquest.

Cinco de Mayo's history has its roots in the French Occupation of Mexico. The French occupation took shape in the aftermath of the Mexican-American War of 1846-48. With this war, Mexico entered a period of national crisis during the 1850's. Years of not only fighting the Americans but also a Civil War, had left Mexico devastated and bankrupt. On July 17, 1861, President Benito Juarez issued a moratorium in which all foreign debt payments would be suspended for a brief period of two years, with the promise that after this period, payments would resume.

The English, Spanish and French refused to allow president Juarez to do this, and instead decided to invade Mexico and get payments by whatever means necessary. The Spanish and English eventually withdrew, but the French refused to leave. Their intention was to create an Empire in Mexico under Napoleon III. Some have argued that the true French occupation was a response to growing American power and to the Monroe Doctrine (America for the Americans). Napoleon III believed that if the United States was allowed to prosper indescriminantly, it would eventually become a power in and of itself.

In 1862, the French army began its advance. Under General Ignacio Zaragoza, 5,000 ill-equipped Mestizo and Zapotec Indians defeated the French army in what came to be known as the "Batalla de Puebla" on the fifth of May.

In the United States, the "Batalla de Puebla" came to be known as simply "5 de Mayo" and unfortunately, many people wrongly equate it with Mexican Independence which was on September 16, 1810, nearly a fifty year difference.

Over, the years Cinco de Mayo has become very commercialized and many people see this holiday as a time for fun and dance. Oddly enough, Cinco de Mayo has become more of Chicano holiday than a Mexican one. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated on a much larger scale here in the United States than it is in Mexico. People of Mexican descent in the United States celebrate this significant day by having parades, mariachi music, folklorico dancing and other types of festive activities.

Hope you enjoyed educating yourself about Cinco de Mayo. Salud!!! Roger and Lisa Booth of Good Living Products, LLC

Who Says Long Distance Love Can't Work?

2010-04-24T17:02:00.000-07:00

We thought you would enjoy this story

By Monique Jessen, Tonic

No distance is too far for Rodan, the lovesick stork.

Making the trip from South Africa to Croatia every spring, the male bird travels 13,000 km to see his beloved female partner, Malena, who is disabled and unable to fly, reports Britain’s Metro

The loving storks cozy up, mating and raising their new chicks (they have produced 32 offspring so far) and teaching them how to fly. Rodan then departs to spend the winter months in South Africa and returns on exactly the same day, the following spring.

Locals in the small village of Slavonski Brod in Croatia thought crippled Malena would almost certainly die when she was shot by a hunter in 1993, but thanks to the Vokic family, whose roof she lives on and her ever faithful partner, Rodan, she has survived for over 17 years.

Reunited again last week, Rodan was more eager than ever to see his love, arriving two hours earlier than usual. “It was clear they were pleased to see each other,” said one local to the Romanian Times. Stjepan Vokic added, “He knows he needs to return home because Malena is waiting for him.”

The storks have become so famous in the village that it’s not only Malena that waits anxiously for her partner to return, local residents and reporters gather round to welcome the tired bird home, every March.

Lets hope the couple’s little chicks will be just as loyal and faithful as their Papa!

Didn't that just make you smile!

Earth Day April 22, 2010

2010-04-21T18:33:00.003-07:00

Ways to Green Your Earth Day

1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
It sounds simple but it really works. Get in the habit of incorporating the “three R’s” into products you use on a daily basis. This process can have an effect on what you choose to buy. It also affects how you use and dispose of things you already have. Recycle your household waste.

2. Green Your Garage

Chances are you’ve got more than a few items sitting in the garage that you don’t know what to do with. It could be:

Household cleaners

Paint/paint thinners

                                  Batteries
                                  Old sports equipment
                                  Car care products

3. Create a Compost Pile
Earth Day is in late April. Winter is over and gardens are in bloom. One of the key ingredients to your perfect garden will be nutrient-rich fertilizer.
Luckily, you can make your own fertilizer and reduce waste at the same time. This is known as composting. You just mix raw food scraps from your kitchen with leaves from your back yard and water.

4. Buy Recycled
You likely already do this without knowing it. When products are recycled, this material is used as the main ingredient for new products. So buying recycled content creates a market for recycling. Most times the packaging will be labeled if it is recycled content, so keep an eye out.

5. Party Smart
Late April is also a great time for parties. But parties can generate a lot of waste. Here’s a few tips for an eco-friendly party:
Set up recycling bins for plastic bottles
Buy large quantities of food and drinks to reduce packaging
Encourage guests to bring their own glasses and/or plates to reduce waste (there will also be less confusion about which drink belongs to each person)

6. Take Advantage of the Weather

Depending on where you live, this time of year has some of the nicest weather. Try opening windows instead of running the air conditioning and/or heater. This will also save some money on your energy bill.

Nice weather is also a great excuse to drive less. Walking helps your health and is better for the air.

7. Use Water Wisely
Saving water around the house is important because it is a limited resource.
Here’s a few easy ways how:
                                                      Take shorter showers
                                                      Put a filled bottle in your toilet tank
                                                      Reuse water around the house, such as
                                                      using cooking water for plants

8.Ask a friend to go with you to a farmers’ market, and buy local products when possible. A huge amount of energy goes into transporting goods from where they are produced. Stuff produced closer to home uses less of that energy.

Well that was just a few ideas on how we can be green. There are so many more ways that we can help our environment stay green.

Support Your Local Animal Shelter

2010-04-10T19:12:00.000-07:00

Lately I have been thinking more and more on how I can help give to our local animal shelters and what timing to find this article. I sure have a soft spot in my heart for animals. My two dogs Buddy and Gracie are a huge part of my life and I try my best to keep them healthy and happy and give them the best life ever.
Please take a minute to read the article below and see if you can help out.

There's a place in your community where the hungry are fed, the homeless are sheltered, and the abandoned are provided care. It's your local animal shelter, which provides comfort and care for unwanted animals.

You can do a number of things to help your local animal shelter.
Your shelter also offers many other services for pets and their owners—and even for people without pets. To do all this, it relies on support from people like you. Here are a few ways you can help animals, especially at your local shelter:
•Give a little bit. Donate food, old blankets, towels, or other needed supplies. Contribute to one of its special programs.

•Lend a hand. Volunteer your time. Bathe and groom the animals, walk dogs, or play with cats. Stuff envelopes for a mailing. Help publicize an event.

•Find that special someone. Choose your next pet from your local shelter, which has many wonderful dogs and cats, in different shapes and sizes, just waiting for a permanent, loving home.
•Help spread the word. Tell your friends about your shelter's services. Promote animal safety and responsible pet ownership.
•Be a responsible pet owner. Keep current identification on your dog or cat at all times. Spay or neuter your pet. Always keep your dog or cat properly confined or supervised. In addition to the basics—food, water, shelter, and veterinary care—give your pet lots of love and attention.

•Vote for the animals. Support legislation to protect animals. Contact government officials and urge them to support pro-animal legislation.

•Be a hero. Report animal cruelty and neglect as well as injured or stray animals. You may prevent suffering and even save a life.

•Teach your children well. Instruct children in how to care for animals properly and how to treat them with kindness. Set an example by doing the same.

Take Care,

Easter Lily History...

2010-03-31T19:51:00.000-07:00

Native to the Ryukyu Islands of southern Japan, and the islands of Okinawa, Amani and Erabu, Easter Lilies were introduced to England in 1819, and brought to America during the late 1880s from Bermuda.
History, mythology, literature, poetry and the world of art are full of stories and images that speak of the beauty and elegance the Easter Lily. For many, the beautiful trumpet-shaped white flowers symbolize purity, virtue, innocence, hope, and life.

According to Roman mythology, Juno, the queen of the gods was nursing her son Hercules, when excess milk fell from the sky. Part of the milk remained above the earth and created the group of stars known as the Milky Way while the remainder fell to the earth creating lilies. Another tradition has it that when Eve left the Garden of Eden she shed tears of repentance, and from those remorseful tears sprung up lilies.
The pure white lily has long been closely associated with the Virgin Mary. In paintings, the Angel Gabriel is pictured extending to the Virgin Mary a branch of pure white lilies, announcing that she is to be the mother of the Christ Child. Legend holds that when the Virgin Mary s tomb was visited three days after her burial, it was found empty except for bunches of majestic white lilies.

Often called the "white-robed apostles of hope," lilies were found growing in the Garden of Gethsemane after Christ's agony. Tradition has it that beautiful white lilies sprung up where drops of Christ's sweat fell to the ground in his final hours. Churches surround their altars and crosses with masses of Easter Lilies, to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and hope of life everlasting.
Whether given as a gift or enjoyed in your own home, the Easter Lily serves a reminder that Easter is a time for rejoicing and celebrating.

Have a Happy Easter,

Finding Your Joy - Be Happy Every Single Day

2010-03-29T20:00:00.001-07:00

Being happy doesn’t come naturally to everybody.

Choose happiness every day.

Our lives are rich with potential sources of happiness, but sometimes we become victims of negative thinking because we believe that focusing on all that has gone wrong will provide us with the motivation we need to face the challenges of survival. When we choose to focus on what makes us happy, however, a shift occurs in the fabric of our existence. Finding something to be happy about every single day can help this shift take place. The vantage points from which we view the world are brought into balance, and we can see that being alive truly is a gift to be savored. There is always something we can be happy about—it is simply up to us to identify it.

On one day, we may find happiness in a momentous, life-changing event such as a marriage or the birth of a child. On another day, the happiness we experience may be a product of our appreciation of a particularly well-brewed cup of a tea or the way the sun shines on a leaf. If we discover that we literally cannot call to mind a single joyful element of existence, we should examine the cause of the blockage standing between us and experiencing happiness. Keeping a happiness journal is a wonderful way to catalog the happiness unfolding all around us so that joy has myriad opportunities to manifest itself in our lives. Writing about the emotions we experience while contemplating joy may give us insight into the factors compelling us to resist it.

Happiness may not always come easily into your life. You have likely been conditioned to believe that the proper response to unmet expectations is one of sadness, anger, guilt, or fear. To make joy a fixture in your existence, you must first accept that it is within your power to choose happiness over unhappiness every single day. Then, each time you discover some new source of happiness, the notion that the world is a happy place will find its way more deeply into your heart. On this day, find one thing to be happy about and let it fill your heart.

Find your inner joy today!!

Find Out Why It's Easy to Be Green

2010-03-24T17:30:00.000-07:00

Here is an interesting article on a few things we can all do to be green. Easy stuff for sure.
by Denise Austin

Simple Steps

Have you "gone green" yet? There are many steps you can take to give back to the environment so we can all continue to enjoy our beautiful planet! Doing something positive for the environment is not as hard as it may seem. Here are a few simple ways you can show our planet your love — and save money and calories too!

Carry your own bags. Invest in solid canvas bags you can take

with you on your weekly shopping trip so you don't have to
use paper or plastic. Some stores even offer a discount if you
bring your own bags.

Bring your own bottle. Instead of shelling out a buck or more for a bottle of water at the gym, fill up an aluminum water bottle at the fountain. Keep a mug or glass on your desk at work to refill at the cooler.

Pack your lunch. Cut down on restaurant take-out packaging by bringing last night's leftovers for lunch in a washable container. You'll save on calories, fat, and sodium, too!

Ride your bike — or walk! Save on gas and reduce emissions by biking or walking to work or to run errands. Public transportation is an environmentally friendly option as well. If you must drive, at least combine your errands so you can do them all in one trip. You'll save time too!

Wear a sweater. Turn the heat a few degrees lower in the winter — and a few degrees higher in the summer — to save energy. Stay warm — or cool — by dressing for the season.

Sort your garbage. Set aside paper, magazines, aluminum cans, and plastic and glass bottles for recycling. Contact your sanitation department to find out about pickup options or where to drop the recycling off. In many states, you can recycle bottles and cans at local supermarkets — and get back a deposit for each one!

Make your own gifts. For birthdays, holidays, and other occasions, create unique gifts at home instead of buying something (typically with disposable packaging) at the store. Bake or cook a special treat, give a nice piece of clothing or jewelry that you haven't worn in a long time, or write a poem on a homemade card — it's really the thought that counts!

Make it an Earth-friendly week! Try one of these suggestions on two days in the week ahead — or come up with more ideas of your own to protect the environment. The possibilities are endless!

1. Use cast iron pans instead of non-stick.
2. To avoid chemicals leaching into food, go easy on processed, canned or fast foods and never microwave plastic.
3. Buy organic, or eat vegetables and fruit from the "Clean 15" list.
4. Pregnant women should use iodized salt to combat chemical interference from the thyroid.
5. Seal outdoor wooden structures. Order a test kit to find out if your wooden deck, picnic table, or play-set is leaching arsenic.
6. Leave your shoes at the door. This cuts down on dust-bound pollutants in the home
7. Avoid perfume, cologne and products with added fragrance. Search for personal care products that are fragrance-free, or check the products you're already using.
8. Buy products with natural fibers, like cotton and wool, that are naturally fire resistant.
9. Eat low-mercury fish like tilapia and pollock, rather than high-mercury choices like tuna and swordfish.
10. Filter your water for drinking and cooking.
11. Learn your personal body burden. Take a step-by-step tour of your home to learn the toxic truth about how household products contribute to your body burden of industrial chemicals.

We can all work a little bit every day to do our part in keeping God's Earth green!!

Kissing 101

2010-03-12T08:51:00.002-07:00

"How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said." ~Victor Hugo

Written by: Wendy Strgar of Good Clean Love
As a purveyor of love products, I have had my fair share of conversations about kissing as the gateway to intimacy. A little kissing know-how goes a long way because nothing will doom a relationship faster than a bad first kiss. Some of this is a biological imperative, because kissing is the human form of long standing mammalian behavior of smelling our mates to determine compatibility. The human art form of kissing has developed over millennia when our ancestors believed that the kiss united their souls, as they believed the spirit was carried on the breath.

The key to a good kiss comes from the power of your intention, which is translated as attraction and love for the beloved. Even the most technically skilled kissers often fall short when their kiss is insincere. Many people never learned the basics of a good kiss, in part because kissing is more an art than an education. A good way to approach both is to compare it to the art of a meaningful conversation. In fact if you think of kissing as a way of communicating in ways that words can’t come close, the subtlety of good kissing technique comes clear.

Being prepared for a kiss begins with basic oral hygiene. Kissing with onion or garlic breath is an immediate detractor, so brushing the teeth or taking breath mints or gum, is a fundamental. The three primary elements that turn on a kissing conversation are breath, lips and tongue. Although it seems like stating the obvious, breathe through your nose while kissing and let your slight pulling back to take a deeper breath help slow down and connect you while you kiss. Although a racing heart and gasping for air is not uncommon during intense kissing it can be a little off putting at the beginning of the interlude.

Whether the intended kiss is just a little peck or inviting a longer conversation with an open mouthed kiss, the way you hold your lips is critical. Our lips are covered with thousands of nerve endings and have the ability to communicate soft opening as well as firm control. Experiment with softening your lips even for a short kiss and see how that changes the dialogue. Hard kisses with tight lips can be overwhelming even in the midst of serious passion. Soft open mouth kisses invite your partner into a dialogue, which is the goal. Feel for her response. Open-mouthed kissing can teach you a lot about opening to relationships: about how to avoid forcing things, as well as giving both partners the opportunity to be active participants choosing their unspoken words.

The agile tongue can speak volumes in a kiss. Unfortunately, many people think the French kiss is as simple as basic insertion of their tongue in the mouth of their partner. Nothing can kill a kissing mood like a sloppy tongue in the midst of a tentative open-mouth kissing conversation. Consider the tongue like a diplomat, and just like in a good conversationalist, use the tongue judiciously to communicate interest, curiosity and intrigue. A light tongue tracing the lips, quick darting meeting of tongues in the center of open lips is incredibly exciting and will open the conversation to new levels.

Discovering the art of kissing takes time. The patient kisser has the time to experiment and demonstrate their sensitivity and understanding. Rushing in and trying to take control of the kiss screams amateur and pushes people away more often than pulling them in. Developing the artistic capacity to communicate without words will not only enhance the physical intimacy that you share but you will be surprised at how much safer and more open your verbal conversations will become.

Thanks Wendy! A great reminder that we need to pay attention to those "intimate" kisses! Remember - practice makes perfect!

Guaranteed Weight Loss!!

2010-03-07T18:16:00.001-07:00

A man calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.

The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.

She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.

The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."

Without a second thought, he takes off after her.

A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.

The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.

On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program.

The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning and beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.

She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me."

Well, he's out the door after her like a shot.

This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck.

So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised.

He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program.

"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."

"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."

The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads,"If I catch you, you are mine!!!"

He lost 63 pounds that week. ;-)

Hey! Finally something that really works!

Smile - it's good for you,

Here is a product line that we carry from Herb'n Organics. I wanted to share this interesting article on products that we use day to day and don't realize what harm they can be causing. I personally use all of their products and just love them. They clean amazingly, smell great and healthy for the environment and your family!

It's all around us, often disguised in pretty packaging, catchy commercials and attractive coupon offers in your Sunday paper. "It" is all of those many products we use in our everyday lives to get things clean. Consumers are becoming more conscious. The term "clean" is thankfully being redefined by many people who have personally experienced the dangerous effects that common household chemicals can wreak on our bodies and those of our families. In that light, here is a Top 10 on some products you should permanently cross off your shopping list:

1. Non-stick cookware
2. Plastic Bottles
3. Conventional Cleaning Supplies*
4. Chemical Insecticides & Herbicides
5. Antibacterial Products
6. Chemical Fertilizers
7. The Non-CFL Lightbulb
8. Air Fresheners
9. Flame Retardents
10. Plastic Shopping Bags

Bleach & Ammonia: Asthma Triggers in the Classroom

CDC surveys have detected a dramatic increase in childhood asthma across the country in the span of just a few decades. At present, nearly 1 in 10 children has asthma in the U.S. Nationally, asthma is the leading cause of missed school days due to a chronic illness. Many ingredients in conventional cleaning supplies cause asthma in previously healthy people, according to the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics (AOEC), the leading international body concerned with the link between chemical exposures and asthma.

* Asthma affects 1 in 4 school children

* Asthma is increasing in prevalence especially in young children below the age of 5

* Asthma can kill if left unattended

* Asthma is a major cause of childhood admissions to hospital

* Recognize the signs of Asthma: lethargy, tiredness, decreased motivation and inability to concentrate,
ear and stomach aches
School children spend a large part of their day inside classrooms cleaned with chemicals that can cause or exacerbate asthma, and breathe in a complex set of indoor air contaminants with lungs that are still developing.

Longevity Drugs May Be Coming

2010-02-27T14:00:00.000-07:00

Here is an article from Time Magazine talking about one of our top selling products at Good Living Products.

Resveratrol

Elixirs of youth sound fanciful, but the first

crude antiaging drugs may not be so far away. To date, two compounds have sparked scientists' interest: resveratrol, a substance found in grapes, red wine and peanuts; and rapamycin, first isolated in the soil of Easter Island. Both compounds seem to work in animals to mimic the biological response to calorie restriction, an imperfectly understood technique that extends life span in lab specimens, including yeast, mice and, most recently, rhesus monkeys.

Resveratrol is currently available as a dietary supplement. A drug formulation of resveratrol is now being put to a more rigorous test, in clinical trials as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes and cancers. The company behind the drug, Sirtris Pharmaceuticals (bought by pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline in 2008), is touting that compound and two others — chemically unrelated to resveratrol but targeting the same pathway — as drugs that battle aging-related diseases.

Rapamycin, the other big candidate, has one clear advantage over resveratrol: it's already FDA approved as a drug — but as an immunosuppressant. Don't expect it to be rolled out to the masses as a miracle drug just yet though. Rapamycin leaves users susceptible to infection — at least in the doses typically used today — and has other harmful side effects too.

How Do You Handle Your Anger?

2010-01-24T18:27:00.005-07:00

I wanted to share with you a great article I found on Bitterness. This sure caught my attention and I can unfortunately relate all to well. I found it very helpful and definitely is something to read often to remind myself that its okay to let things go and move on. It's unhealthy to hold grudges for sure.

Bitterness

It is natural to feel resentment or anger when life does not unfold as expected. We consciously or unconsciously anticipated one experience, and we grieve for the loss of it when the universe puts something else in our path. Most of the time, we work through these feelings and they pass. Occasionally, our anger and resentment do not fade and are instead transformed into bitterness. Bitter feelings allow us to become perfect victims in that we no longer feel obliged to work toward healing and choose instead to identify with our pain. Yet as unwholesome as bitterness can be, it is also a natural element of our emotional palette. When we acknowledge that it is okay to feel bitter, we reconnect with our hurt in a constructive way and can begin the process of working through it.

The nature of bitterness is rooted in the fact that the pain we feel provides us with a rationale. We may feel that we deserve to embrace our bitterness to its full extent. And to be bitter is, in essence, to cut ourselves off from all that is positive, hardening our hearts and vowing never to let go of our hurt. But just as bitter feelings can be self-defeating, so too can the release of bitterness be life-affirming in a way that few other emotional experiences are. When we decide that we no longer want to be bitter, we are reborn into a world filled with delight and fulfillment unlike any we knew while in the clutches of bitterness. The veil it cast over our lives is lifted, letting light and warmth touch our souls.

Divesting yourself of bitter feelings can be as simple as truly forgiving and moving on. Even when your bitterness has no concrete object, you can forgive situations too. Healing pain can be challenging but may be easier if you remind yourself that you are the only entity truly affected by your emotional state. In time, you will discover that letting go of your bitterness frees you to initiate the healing process and allows you to once again celebrate the possibility of the more wonderful life you deserve.

I hope you found this helpful because I sure did.

Lose Weight Naturally and Enjoy Life.

2010-01-05T21:17:00.006-07:00

The news is quick to circulate how millions of people are obese and even more are overweight. The chances of carrying too much body weight on one frame are also big news. What is frequently forgotten, however, is the solution to lose weight easy and safe. With constant pressure from doctors and manufacturers to slip a pill into the mouth and swallow your weight issues away, natural weight loss plans are growing rare.

Prescription and easily available slimming products are not safe. The prescription medications have a laundry list of potential side effects and many are worse on the body than obesity. These medications often work while they are being taken daily with rebound weight gain happening once the prescriptions are stopped. I have personally tried these and found the side effects unbearable.

Natural supplements to reduce weight can be very dangerous. Supplement products are not approved by the FDA, that means the ingredients are not checked for safety and the claims of weight loss are just claims, yet not proven. Many “natural” fat loss supplements include large amounts of caffeine, which can lead to nausea, vomiting, jitters and heart problems. None of the supplements from Good Living Products contain caffeine or the "natural" caffeines" like ephedra or ma huang!! All are natural, organic and contain no fillers.

Natural Weight Loss, Without Drugs

Natural weight loss promotes the inclusion of healthy foods that fit within the food pyramid. These foods need to be carefully chosen to ensure the correct number of fruits, vegetables, grains and proteins are eaten with each meal. Many western diets are rich in simple carbohydrates like potatoes, pasta and bread but contain very little complex carbohydrates which offer extended energy and high fiber content to promote good health and help to lose weight naturally.

In addition to choosing the right foods, the right portions for weight loss need to also be relearned. Over the past few decades, portion sizes have grown dramatically. The increase in portion size is almost parallel to the increase in the number of people suffering from being overweight or obese. While there are many different portion size tricks, the easiest is the deck of cards. One portion of food should be the size of a deck of cards in both thickness and area. Moving portion sizes can often trigger natural weight loss.

Exercise is the golden child of natural weight loss, but this necessity also falls into the most hated part of losing weight. Exercising takes time and dedication, which most people have more than enough of. But, the pain and embarrassment associated with gym time often leaves people feeling like they are being stared at or too sore to walk the next day.

Weight Loss From the Inside Out
A diet rich in processed, fatty foods can lead to two ends – probiotic levels will fall and the colon will be sluggish and there will be no weight loss. The most beneficial way to commence a natural weight loss program is to begin by cleansing the inside of your body and restoring good bacteria levels. Colon Cleansing is getting very popular nowadays in the weight loss circle and for good reason. When the colon isn’t working right, the body will ignore good, natural weight loss to occur. The body is one unit and all-over body health is important to a natural weight loss process.

Good Living Products carry both colon cleanse products and probiotics. Our products are all natural and contain no magneseum starate or other artificial fillers. Many are also certified Organically Grown.

Let's make 2010 the year that we make the commitment to live healthy!!

Be Well,

New Year Quotations

2009-12-31T17:35:00.006-07:00

Here are a few Quotes I found to be interesting. I think you'll enjoy them too.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to. ~Bill Vaughn
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. ~Bill Vaughan

I'm Dreaming of a "Green" Christmas!

2009-12-21T07:45:00.000-07:00

As our family completes our holiday tradition of making ornaments for a gift exchange and putting up our tree – the day seems almost magical with the big white snow flakes falling outside the window - well, not in Phoenix AZ but we're dreaming a little. Hot chocolate simmers and the cookies are in the oven, completing the picture. Focusing on the spirit of Christmas and what it means to be with family, give to others and recycle, reuse and reduce is what we aim to do.

Here are some eco-friendly tips for a joyous and happy holiday season, from our home to yours:

Give. Host or attend an alternative gift fair where you give to charity in someone else’s name. Your local United Way might have some ideas to help support this or may even be participating in an alternative gift fair for your community. Either way, you can give and donate your time, items or money toward human service agencies this year. Every dollar counts!

Resale. Shop resale and give gently used or “like new” gifts and invite the entire family to do the same.
Save Money. A programmable thermostat will help save energy and money – who doesn’t like that as a gift?
Less is More. The children will be receiving fewer gifts and ones that are either useful, can be used long term and if possible not plastic.
Twinkle to a Minimum. Fewer lights, which mean less energy, wasted. We don’t need outdoor lights twinkling and it just boosts are electric bill.
Reuse. No new holiday decorations. I have tubs upon tubs of decorations and it’s time to purge and donate some of these. No need for new ones.

Purge. Toys…the children have to many. To help the children make room for new toys I want them to go through and decide which ones they do not want and we will donate them to charity.
Recycle. Make sure that as you add the gifts to your life that you clean out your closets, cupboards and garages and give what you don't need to Good Will or other agencies that help others in need.

Have a Blessed Holiday - Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all - Roger & Lisa Booth of Good Living Products

Why do we get kissed if we stand under the mistletoe?

2009-12-13T18:28:00.007-07:00

Here is an interesting article I found about the Mistletoe. Hope you enjoy, it's interesting.

Since ancient times, the mistletoe has been one of the most magical, mysterious and sacred plants of European folklore.

The ancient Druids considered the mistletoe to be a sacred plant and believed it had miraculous powers which could cure illnesses, serve as an antidote against poisons, ensure fertility and protect against the ill effects of witchcraft. It was also believed that the mistletoe was an aphrodisiac or a sexual symbol.

From these strange beliefs has come the modern-day custom of hanging a ball of mistletoe from the ceiling and exchanging kisses under it as a sign of friendship and goodwill.

The tradition of smooching under the mistletoe descends from the customs of several different cultures. For instance, exchanging kisses under the mistletoe was a tradition of Greek festivals and marital ceremonies. If a couple in love exchanges a kiss under the mistletoe, it is interpreted as a promise to marry, as well as a prediction of happiness and long life.

The Anglo-Saxons associated the powers of the mistletoe to the legend of Freya, the goddess of love, beauty and fertility. According to the legend, a man had to kiss any young girl who, without realizing it, found herself accidentally under a sprig of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. Guys would pluck a berry when they smooched the girls and when the last berry was gone, there would be no more kissing!
In France, the custom linked to the mistletoe was reserved for New Year's Day: "Au gui l'An neuf"--Mistletoe for the New Year.

Today, kisses can be exchanged under the mistletoe any time during the holiday season.

Did you know?

Although the mistletoe is considered to be the seed of love, the common name of the plant is derived from the ancient belief that mistletoe grew from bird droppings. This strange belief was related to the ancient principle that life could spring spontaneously from dung.

In ancient times, people observed that mistletoe appeared on a branch or twig where birds had left droppings. "Mistel" is the Anglo-Saxon word for "dung," and "tan" is the word for "twig". So, mistletoe actually means "dung-on-a-twig". What a strange meaning for a plant that is supposed to bring love and happiness!

In Scandinavia, mistletoe was considered a plant of peace, under which enemies could declare a truce or warring spouses kiss and make-up. Whenever enemies met under the mistletoe in the forest, they had to lay down their arms and observe a truce until the next day.

Today's custom of using mistletoe to decorate houses at Christmas is a survival of European beliefs and traditions. In Europe, branches of mistletoe were hung from ceilings to ward off evil spirits. In some countries, they were placed over house and stable doors to prevent the entrance of witches.

We Love Our Wine - Even If We Can't Afford It

2009-12-06T10:32:00.002-07:00

Lisa and I love our wine and thought you might like this article. It's been fun to see the popularity of wine increase in the last several years. We love both red and white wine as well as some great varietals that we have discovered in our home state of Arizona.

Funny how even a deep recession doesn't seem to be able to mess with our wine drinking. Lisa and I haven't stooped to boxes or jugs yet.......but you never know what the future holds! It's all a part of Good Living!!

Here's the article:

Cheers! Salúd! Clink, clink! However you toast, Americans will be tipping their glasses this holiday season. According to new research from Mintel, two-thirds of survey respondents (67%) say they partake in wine on holidays and special occasions while at home. Another 58% drink wine at home with dinner on an ordinary night.

The wine market has grown 20% from 2004-09 despite the recession; however, shattered consumer confidence caused a 3.2% decline during the height of the financial crisis in 2008. As consumers begin to see signs that the worst of the recession is behind them, Mintel forecasts the wine market will stabilize and increase by 2.1% in 2009.

“Despite the recent decline, the future of the wine market looks bright, at least for moderately priced segments,” says Sarah Theodore, Mintel senior food and drink analyst. “Value wines have helped consumers rethink their perceptions about wine. Domestic wines have proven to be somewhat recession-proof as unpretentious, economy-priced wines are fuelling recent sales.”

How does wine chalk up next to its alcoholic beverage counterparts? So far in 2009, nearly half of survey respondents say they drink beer compared to just more than one-third who drink imported and domestic wines (47% vs. 35%). Only 17% claim to enjoy champagne and sparkling wines and even less drink port, sherry and dessert wines (7%).

Sarah Theodore notes: “As wine finds its way out of the recession, it might be taking on a new form. The down economy has given impetus to boxed wine. Marketers have an opportunity right now to really play up the benefits of this type of packaging and finally eliminate its ‘cheap’ image.”

Nearly one in five respondents appears to be status-conscious when it comes to drinking boxed wine. Consequently, 35% of those aged 21-24 say they would drink boxed wine at home, but not serve it to guests, compared to 19% of all ages. In addition, 35% of 21-24 year old wine drinkers believe the wine brand they choose reflects their status to friends, compared to only 14% of all ages.

Easy Workouts At Home

2009-12-01T22:18:00.006-07:00

Who loves going to the gym? Who has the time? Here are some benefits of working out at home and some exercises I do at home.

No wasted time driving to and from a fitness club
No waiting in line to use the equipment
Workout on your schedule, rather than just when the health club is open
No expensive monthly membership fees or long-term contracts
Motivation to workout as you pass by the equipment every day.
Being comfortable in your own home if you don't like to work out in a club with lots of people

While some people religiously hit the gym for a workout, it is not possible for many to do the same due to varied reasons. But this does not mean it should stop us from taking care of our health and fitness and not workout. I understand it is not possible for everyone to set up a gym in their home. So to help you out here are some easy workouts / exercises that can be performed any time at home. Also another great option is home video workouts. If you need motivation and don't have a workout buddy then just follow the video and they will keep you going.

Walking (this is our favorite)

Walking, jogging or running happens to be the simplest and cheapest kind of cardiovascular workout. This can be done in the neighborhood parks, in your neighborhood or along trails.
Walking briskly for 15 to 20 minutes is the best way one can initiate exercising.
It is convenient compared to other home workouts.
Trick is to begin slowly and then steadily increase the stride and fasten pace.

If you have a walking partner, he /she will keep you motivated. And don't forget about your dogs they will always be up and ready to go with you. What a great treat for them too.

Push-Up Exercises for Anybody

Lie chest-down with your hands at shoulder level, palms flat on the floor and slightly more than shoulder-width apart, your feet together and parallel to each other.

Look forward rather than down at the floor. The first contact you make with the floor with any part of the face should be your chin, not your nose.
Keep your legs straight and your toes tucked under your feet. Straighten your arms as you push your body up off the floor. Keep your palms fixed at the same position and keep your body straight. Try not to bend or arch your upper or lower back as you push up.
Exhale as your arms straighten out.
Pause for a moment
Lower your body slowly towards the floor. Bend your arms and keep your palms in fixed position. Keep body straight and feet together.
Lower body until chest touches the floor. Try not to bend your back. Keep your knees off the floor, and inhale as you bend your arms.
Pause for a moment. Begin straightening your arms for a second push-up. Exhale as you raise your body

Squats for the Legs
Squat happens to be a great at home exercise.

Position feet about shoulder-width apart.
Keep your torso straight. There should be a slight arch in your lower back.
Now begin movement by bending the knees.
Lower your body / go down only till you feel comfortable. If you are able to lower yourself till both your thighs stand horizontally parallel, do so.
Now using the power in your legs, push yourself steadily back up to the starting / original position.

Initially one can opt to use a bar to grip while doing this exercise for balance. Stop using the bar when you get stronger with squats.

Crunches for the Abs

Lie down flat on your back. Your knees should be bent and your feet placed comfortably on the floor.
You can choose to hold clasp your hands either on your chest or behind your head. Just make sure that you do not pull on your head.
In the simple crunch, you are instructed to just roll the upper torso upward.
Hold for few seconds at the top of the movement and squeeze hard.

To boost effectiveness of crunch exercise, you can instead push your chest and head up towards the ceiling keeping your lower back flat onto the floor.

Just a few tips and workouts that I have found and have used and they really do work. With the combination of working out, eating right and vitamins you are heading down a very healthy path. Please check out our website @ www.goodlivingproducts.com/ for more healthy ideas.

GOOD LUCK!!

An Enjoyable – Guilt Free Thanksgiving

2009-11-25T08:56:00.012-07:00

Thanksgiving is all about abundance or more often, overabundance. But, it doesn't have to and shouldn't have to be that way. The Thanksgiving holiday is the start of the "seasonal seven," the average amount of weight usually gained during the holiday season. To many, the addition of the holidays to the mix of our daily lives can be overwhelming. Stop, take a breath, and evaluate your priorities during this time of year.

Here are some planning tips that hopefully can help you stay fit and healthy during your Thanksgiving weekend. Focus on the small tweaks that can have a big pay off.

 Get up a little earlier - Yeah, it's a day off, but doing things in the early morning doesn't lead to excuses the rest of the day. Take a walk - you'll feel better

 Drink Water - Many times when we are really thirsty, we reach for food. By keeping hydrated, you will eat less and it will give the stomach that full feeling.

 Eat less, but more often - It's about portion control throughout the day. This keeps the metabolism burning. When Thanksgiving dinner comes around, you won't gorge on everything in sight.

 Pace yourself - Thanksgiving dinner is not a contest on who can eat the most the fastest. Take your time eating. This is a time for more family interaction. Put the fork down every so often and enjoy the time together.

 Remove some fat - Yeah, I know the cooked turkey skin taste great, but remove the skin from your turkey portion.

 Play some games - Set time aside after your Thanksgiving meal for fun. Don't take the usual post-meal nap. Take a walk after your meal - fight the urge to take a nap.

 Limit the sweets and pies - Use portion control and don't put yourself over the edge. Eat to feel full, not engorged!

We spend a great deal of time planning and stressing over the Thanksgiving meal. This year, plan ahead and make your Thanksgiving a Healthy, Happy one.

We are grateful for each other, our families and you - for having an interest in us. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!! - Roger and Lisa Booth of Good Living Products.

What Did Your Dog Eat Today? Here's a Possible Solution

2009-11-04T06:11:00.001-07:00

Hello again, I wanted to share with you a new toy I found for Buddy and Gracie.

I don't know if your dogs are the same as mine but they are very distructive when it comes to their toys. First thing to do is find the squeeker and tear it out.

Then there is the stuffing all over the floor and in the back yard. What a mess! Not to mention what gets in their stomachs............

Then I found some Eco Friendly Dog Toys that are an evolution in style, in concept, in color. In an age of disposable everything, this line of sustainable American made dog toys stands the test of time. 100% Recyclable Zogoflex toys and Fabric Toys utilizing fabric and stuffing made from recycled soda pop bottles - gives each toy a life beyond one bite. From the mouth of soda pop consumers to the mouth of your dog...these products live on! And I don't have to worry about what they have eaten because they can't eat these toys, all they do is play with them. Isn't that they point?

2009-10-25T15:16:00.009-07:00

About four years ago I was watching a TV program on how Americans were giving to a new program called Kiva. The show caught my attention. I promised myself then and there that if I started another business that I would make giving to Kiva a part of what we do as a socially responsible company. So when Lisa and I started Good Living Products in July of this year we made giving to Kiva a part of our business plan.

Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.
Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend to unique entrepreneurs around the globe. They do this by allowing you and me to invest in low income people with as little as a $25 investment.

The people you see on Kiva's site are real individuals. When you browse entrepreneurs' profiles on Kiva, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when you get your loan money back, you can re-lend to someone else.

Here are some of the people that we have loaned money to.

Teresa is the proud owner of her own in-home daycare business in Massachusetts.

In her home country of Ecuador she was also a businesswoman. Ten years ago she came to the United States to start something new and it was natural for her to pursue a business of her own.

Jairo came to the United States from Colombia 24 years ago after the loss of his job and with 500 dollars he started his own office furniture business.

Michael is the owner of CineCipher, a multi-media videography company located in the San Francisco Bay Area. He works with small businesses and non-profits to help them tell their stories.

Mrs.Thida Rous and her husband, Mr. Chinda Duk have been selling flowers and bananas for twelve years they live along the Tonle Basac River, a tributary of the nearby Mekong River, about fifteen kilometers from Phnom Penn, the capital city of Cambodia.

These are real people with real needs. Please feel free to join us as we all try to make our world a better place. Join our Kiva community at http://www.kiva.org/team/good_living_products.

Asian ColeSlaw

2009-10-16T06:13:00.000-07:00

I am always trying to find and easy and healthy dish to make and I came across this one that I would like to share with you.

Asian ColeSlaw

It is obviously made with cabbage which is full of nutrients including vitamin C and indoles, important cancer-fighting compounds. In addition, red cabbage also contains anthocyanins, the purple pigment with strong antioxidant activity commonly found in blueberries. In the winter months, cabbage is an abundant nutritional resource when other fresh produce is either expensive or unavailable. This recipe calls for a lot of salt, but it is used in this dish to soften the cabbage. Then it is thoroughly rinsed off so the recipe doesn't provide too much sodium. This coleslaw is colorful and makes a delightful accompaniment to any meat, fish or vegetarian main dish.

Ingredients:

1 medium head green cabbage
1 medium head red cabbage
3 tablespoons sea salt
3 large carrots
1/4 cup minced scallions
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Dressing:
2/3 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons dark-roasted sesame oil

Instructions:
1. Discard the outer leaves of cabbages. Cut heads in quarters; remove and discard cores. Slice cabbage thinly or shred in a food processor. Layer the cabbage in a large bowl with the sea salt. Toss to distribute salt evenly and let cabbage sit for 1 hour to soften.
2. Meanwhile, peel the carrots and grate them into thin shreds.
3. Drain off any liquid produced by the cabbage and rinse the cabbage well in several changes of cold water to remove excess salt. Taste the cabbage; if it is still too salty, rinse it again.
4. Add carrots to the cabbage and mix well.
5. Whisk the rice vinegar, brown sugar and sesame oil together in a small bowl.
6. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and mix well. Let chill. Garnish with minced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

We Make Lovin' Fun (And Green!)

2009-10-02T15:16:00.008-07:00

Is there such a thing as "green" or "eco-friendly" sex products? You betcha!

Medical Studies support the fact that an active sex life leads to a longer and happier life. We are all about longer and happier lives!

Using green products that can both increase libido and enhance sexual experiences have a far reaching affect on your overall health and well being. Benefits include:

Stronger immune response
Better heart health
Reduction of chronic pain
Lower incidence of depression
Decreased fear and anxiety and have a greater
sense of well-being

We think those are some pretty strong reasons to both enjoy and look for ways to enhance our sexual well being.

So, why does our company carry eco-friendly sexual enhancement products? Keep reading.

Lisa and I met Wendy Strgar in Anaheim at a Natural Products show about 4 years ago. She was just starting her company called Good Clean Love and was demonstrating a product - no not that kind of product - it was one that you put on your lips to make kissing more enjoyable (not that we needed that - well, maybe we all do). We were impressed with her and impressed with her company, her philosophy and her products and decided then and there that if we started a company or bought one in the natural products industry that we wanted to carry her products. So, here we are. Lisa and I started Good Living Products and we are proud to carry the Good Clean Love line.

Personal favorites are the personal lubes - the Lavender Rose and Cinnamon Vanilla in particular (do we have you blushing yet?) If you're going away on a weekend trip let me recommend the Weekend Get Away package, a little lube, a little oil and...... well, you get to make up the rest of the story.

The products are all natural, organic (95%). We like to say that they feel good and make you feel good for using them. Wendy says that "going green never felt so good". We would have to concur.

Is it about sex? Yes, but it's more about making your love, and your love life more sustainable. Don't be afraid to add a little spice to your love life. And if you're going to do that be good to your mother - earth that is.

Have fun and it's okay to smile!

Some Tips On How I Create My Good Health

2009-09-26T19:21:00.002-07:00

I try to get enough vitamins in my diet which I believe is key when it comes to staying healthy. I eat enough healthy grains, fruits and veggies, and lean protein to get all the vitamins, but sometimes everyday living doesn't make it too easy to do! Working long days and starting an online business at home takes up alot of my time, which makes planning and cooking a well balanced meal hard to do. Besides the fact that we sell them, supplements are a good way to boost your vitamin and mineral intake.

Here's a list of some of the supplements that I take on a regular basis. I have invested in a good, complete mul tivitamin for women. Multivitamins usually have most of the basics but I also include vitamin A, vitamin C ( I take chewables when they are available because I have a hard time with swallowing tablets), viatmin D, and vita min B. You can often find these vitamins with the appropriate doses available for different age groups. An additional calcium supplement, especially for women, can support healthy bone structure. I also take a vitamin E supplement to help support my healthy heart.

I hope you liked learning little about how I try my best to stay healthy. Stayed tuned for more tips later. Thanks for reading - Lisa Booth of Good Living Products.

God vs. Satan - Good vs. Evil - Organic vs. Processed

2009-09-22T22:53:00.007-07:00

This laugh brought to you by Good Living Products

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower, and spinach, green, yellow, and red vegetables of all kinds; so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's and Krispy Kreme. And Satan said, "You want hot fudge with that?" And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "I'll have another with sprinkles." And lo they gained 10 pounds.

And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane, and combined them. And Woman went from size 2 to size 10.

So God said, "Try my fresh green salad."

And Satan presented crumbled Bleu Cheese dressing and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them."

And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut shrimp, butter dipped lobster chunks and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man's cholesterol went through the roof.

God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds.

And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And man and woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition.

Then Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats and added copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite.

And Satan created McDonald's and the 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then Lucifer said, "You want fries with that?" and Man replied, "Yes! And super size' em!" And Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

And Satan created HMOs.

Amen

A History of Birthday Gift Giving - And a Couple of Ideas

2009-09-10T22:12:00.014-07:00

No matter what age, everyone enjoys a little special attention on their special day – their birthday! Typically, it calls for a celebration complete with balloons, a cake, and gifts from family and close friends. While we engage in these birthday festivities, do we ever stop to think where the traditions really began?

The first known birthday celebrations began among the Egyptians with parades, circuses, and gladiatorial events – all complete with feasts that sometimes lasted for days. Romans celebrated the birthdays of their gods with parades and chariot races. Mortals were not encouraged to celebrate their birthdays in Rome. Germany introduced the tradition of birthday cakes about 200 years ago. The cake itself was filled with gifts that predicted the recipient’s life in the upcoming year. For example, if the slice of cake contained a ring, it symbolized impending marriage. A coin guaranteed riches throughout the next year. If the cake fell while baking, it ensured impending doom to the one celebrating a birthday. Today, various countries celebrate birthdays in unique ways.

In the United States, the traditional birthday ritual calls for giving gifts to the one celebrating his special day. Selecting the “right” gift depends on the individual, his interests, and how well you know him. Instead of purchasing the “same old” thing, add a unique twist to your birthday gift selections this year and watch out for the positive feedback!

From a family tree planner to a family history wall print, a gift of genealogy is a great pick for assisting the recipient learn about his family heritage and get back to his roots. As some of us get older this becomes a very special gift.
Create a scrapbook of special moments throughout the past year. Include photos from family events and keepsakes that are important to the event. Recapture these moments by journaling the story of the event and quotes from participants. Embellish the pages with stickers, captions, and other items that will enhance the memories for a long time to come. This is for the more "crafty" of us but can be a special gift that will always create a memory.
Choose a selection of classic books to either add to or start a collection. Several choices to get you started include The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Canterbury Tales, Wurthering Heights, Jane Eyre, The Scarlet Letter, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Great Expectations, Tom Sawyer, and The Catcher in the Rye. A personal favorite of mine is About A Boy
For a woman choose from several great Spa Gift Baskets from Eclipse Spa's. Yes, this is something we carry - trust me - they make an awesome gift.
Purchase baskets from garage sales and gift shops. Fill them with homemade or gourmet jars of pickles, jams, food mixes, and/or fruit. Again for the more crafty of us but substitute the homemade pickles and jams etc with other items that fit the person that you are giving the gift to.

No matter what the occasion, pay attention to what the gift receivers interests, likes and dislikes are - people are always telling us what they want. We just have to listen!

6 Steps To Great Looking and Feeling Skin!

2009-09-07T17:43:00.011-07:00

I have had very sensitive skin ever since I can remember, I need to be very careful on what products I use on my face from what I wash it with to applying any type of day or night cream. I have been using the Elements Skin Care line for over a month now and my skin has never felt so balanced, fresh and soft. Not one breakout or irritation. I use the 6 step program in the morning after I take my shower and in the evening when I take my make up off. My face has been very balanced since using the Elements Skincare Program, not oily or dry.

Here is the new Elements 6 Step Skin Care Program I have been using.

Step 1   I use the Facial Cleanser and it cleans and refines my skin
Step 2 is the Balancing Toner that uses herbal essential oils to restore my skin
Step 3 is the Normalizing Serum and it makes my skin feel rich and nourished
Step 4   I use the Lifting Eye Cream. At 35 I'm starting to see lines and this has helped to firm and nourish under my eyes.
Step 5 is the Moisturizing Day Cream helps to repair and nourish my skin, feels radiant

Put The Lime In The Coconut........Oil

2009-09-04T17:20:00.002-07:00

So, why should you try this stuff?

Why don't we start with the benefits like:

Promoting your heart health
Promoting weight loss when and if you need it
Supporting your immune system health
Supporting a healthy metabolism
Providing you with an immediate energy source
Helping to keep your skin healthy and youthful looking
Supporting the proper functioning of your thyroid gland

Coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid (MCFA).
Because coconut oil is made of primarily medium chain (and some short chain) fatty acids, it is broken down immediately for use rather than stored. MCFA aren't packaged into chylomicrons for circulation through the lymph like long chain fatty acids (LCFA). Instead, they are transported in the portal blood to the liver for conversion into energy. This quick conversion process may prevent weight gain as long as the calories consumed as coconut oil do not exceed the body's caloric needs. Coconut oil has also been found to speed metabolism and increase energy expenditure and is of great interest for its potential as a weight loss aid.

Coconut oil may prevent and alleviate disease.
Both research and clinical studies have shown that MCFA may be useful in treating and preventing diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis, virus-related dieases (mononucleosis, hepatitis C, herpes, etc.), gallbladder disease, Crohn's disease, and cancer. The smaller size of MCFA (compared to LCFA) allows them to be digested more easily, making them ideal for those suffering from digestive diseases. Coconut oil may assist in the absorption and retaining of calcium, thereby benefiting bones.

Coconut oil has antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.
Lipid-coated bacteria and viruses contain a lipid coat which encloses their DNA among other cellular materials. When consumed by humans, coconut oil disrupts the lipid membrane, killing the pathogens without damaging the host or harming health-promoting intestinal bacteria. The antimicrobial properties stem from the monoglycerides and free fatty acids (mainly lauric acid and capric acid) that compose coconut oil.

Need more reasons to start consuming coconut oil?
Pure coconut oil is easily absorbed, prevents free radical damage, and can improve the appearance of skin and hair.
With all the benefits that coconut oil can provide, it's definitely worth trying. And if all this is too much info to take in at one time or if you don't quite like the taste, we hear it makes a fantastic conditioner for your hair.

Chia Seeds - Diabetes, Omega-3 and Weight Loss

2009-08-30T12:23:00.003-07:00

It is not necessary that every on who is suffering from Diabetes will definitely know about the Chia seeds just because it is the best herbal option to control the blood sugar. The Chia seeds contain a high amount of Omega-3 Fatty Acid which is a very essential for our body. Our body can not manufacture it hence it needs to be obtained from external food. The acid is essential for the proper function of the brain and its development. The three kinds of Omega 3 acids which are alpha-Linolenic Acid, Docosahexaenoic acid and the Eicosapentaenoic acid helps the human body to reduce the blood pressure and the heart related diseases.

The high protein and lipid contents in the Chia seeds are also one of the many reasons why the seed is helpful for the diabetic patients. The seeds are a species of the mint family and are widely grown in the Central Valley of Mexico. The seeds were an integral part of the Aztec and Maya civilization. They used the seeds as the offering to their gods and used to have that in their religious ceremonies.

During the last couple few years the scientists were doing researches on the utilities of the seeds and were tiring to find out the importance of it. The extensive researches have revealed the true picture of the seed. The seed is very effective for the diabetic people as is controls the blood sugar levels in our body. Recently all the doctors are prescribing the Chia seeds and its by-products for the diabetic patients all over the world.

If you are suffering from high sugar level in your blood then you might go for the Chia seeds diets with your regular exercises and proper medications. You can do your part of research in the internet and learn more about the importance of the Chia seeds.

At Good Living Products we carry both the Chia Seeds and Chia Seed Capsules. All are Organically Grown and all Natural.

Our Dogs and Stiff Joints!

2009-08-27T21:34:00.003-07:00

We have two dogs, Buddy and Gracie (Gracie is in the front of this picture and Buddy is in the back). They are brother and sister - we got them free from the trailer park, but that's another story! You can tell they're brother and sister by their actions and actually by most anything that they do. Can't you tell by the picture! They are only 4 years old but my boy, Buddy, has had some issues with his joints. That can get me to worrying about him sometimes.

We have been giving him Hip & Joint Supplements for the last two years with some good success. He has improved a lot in his getting up, jumping and in his day to day getting around. However, the boy is smart and he doesn't like taking his pills. He even figured out how we were hiding them. We would give him the pills wrapped in cheese but he would eat the cheese and we would find the pill laying on the floor or hidden in the couch. We needed to find a better way - one that was smarter than Buddy.

Along came PetNaturals with their Hip & Joint CHEWS!! The were a God-send. Buddy eats them like they are a treat - because the look and smell like a treat!!! He will stand at the cabinet where their treats are kept and wait for his "treat". I have seen a dramatic change also in the way that he moves around and he's jumping and playing again with his sister just like they did when they were puppies. So far, we have out smarted our Buddy!

Feel free to check out this product and many more from PetNaturals of Vermont on our website, www.goodlivingproducts.com. Yes, I'm shamelessly plugging our PetNaturals but I feel strongly that they have made a big difference in mine and Buddy's life so I wanted to share.

STOP THE NOISE!!!

2009-08-25T16:18:00.000-07:00

This ad really takes the cake! We're a small company that is trying to sell quality products at fair prices. It's companies like this, or to be more direct, it's marketing like this that makes life difficult for companies like Good Living Products to sell quality products to good people like yourself. It's hard for you as a consumer to sift through the noise of the marketers that are out there. Now, this might just be an excellent product - it might just do what it says it will do but I can't buy that after seeing the way it's presented! Now, what if another product comes out that does the same thing - but it's marketed in a sane fashion. It's ruined! This product has tainted it already.

Case in point would be any Acai or Resveratrol products. There are so many scams out there that smaller companies with integrity can't get past the noise to get quality product to our prospective customers. The products that we sell are Organic, Natural and of the Highest Quality. But, so many people will never get a chance to find that out. Why? Because illicit, scamming marketing companies have tainted the products with their 'free product' ads and their false representations from Dr. Oz and Oprah.

We just want them to STOP THE NOISE so that we can provide the quality that you, the consumer deserves.

For a good laugh - check out the ad on You Tube. They banned it after the first play on MSNBC last night. But don't you dare buy it!!!
