Top Mineral Make-up of Choice

We all want to be healthier and to consume and use healthy products. Nowadays, we have to walk around with google on standby on our smartphones so we can research and understand the plethora of ingredients listed on labels. That is why I am a big advocate in researching companies and knowing your "suppliers" of the products you want to use. It helps take some guesswork out which saves us time, and ultimately money. Take make-up for example. With the exception of color additives and a few prohibited substances, cosmetics companies may use any ingredient or raw material in their products without government review or approval (FDA 2005). Whereas the European Union has banned more than 1,000 ingredients from use in cosmetics, the FDA has only prohibited 8 including chloroform and bithionol.This is crazy which prompted me to find a really good, low-no toxic mineral make-up. It is by Youngevity and has good pricing, offers great coverage as well as a variety of colors. Here is a video showing a makeover using the mineral make-up so you can see how good it is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oAZzrgnLoY. Let me know if you want to order some to try. They have some kits to get you started. You can shop now at https://jennscents.buyygy.com/90forLifeStore/en/makeup

Aromatherapy & Lymphatic System for Emotional Health


Importance of aromatherapy and lymphatic system in emotional, mental and physical health.
 
 

Aromatherapy is a powerful tool when it comes to emotional, mental and physical health.  Essential oils can offer a variety of benefits, and enable our mind and body systems to perform optimally. In emotional healing the body system that is most prevalent and in need of aromatherapy is the lymphatic system.

The lymphatic system is responsible for delivering good nutrients and oxygen to the cells, tissues and muscles, while taking out the “trash”. When it gets congested and stuck, an unhealthy terrain manifests, which may lead to a variety of differences within the body and mind. This stuckness may hinder neurotransmitters from sending complete messages, which delays or stops the body from responding appropriately. When we get stuck, our thought patterns may be more negative, repeat themselves like a merry-go-round and smother us from being present in the moment. This mental exhaustion can deprive the physical body from functioning at an optimal level, thus creating disharmony. And then the continual cycle of mind-body, body-mind circulates this conflict.

The lymphatic systems role in the olfactory process, is to allow toxic emotions to be eliminated and positive ones to flourish. Because essential oil molecules of a pure, unadulterated oil, resemble those naturally present in the body, they can make their way into any place, whether congested or not. They help create movement, which can decongest stagnant lymph and push out bad debris or waste. This process has been shown to boost and declutter immunity and increase productivity from all other body systems. Thus, leading us to a healthier mind and body communication, interaction and function, simultaneously.

The Power of Networking in Small Business

I started my business 13 yeas ago and I will say, one of the biggest contributors to my success was getting involved in the local networking groups.  It was a way for me to meet people, share what I love, and overcome my fear of public speaking (although this was a bonus, I would have never did it if someone time I'd have to speak in public, lol). Well, I've been mentoring some friends who are involved in the same direct sales businesses as me, and I thought I'd share our business topic of the month.

Here are my tips for successful networking -

Choosing a Network Group
  • Research and make a list of all of the network groups in your area, or in the area you want to be.
  • Attend each of the groups at least once to see if it is a good fit for you.  Some you may have to attend 2-3 times. The key to successful network groups, is that you attend every meeting and event.  You must be involved as these people will become your friends and your advertisers.  When they see you often, you will be top of mind and they will refer to you.  Must combine attendance consistency with group content.
  • At first, I would narrow that down to 1-3 groups so you can stay focused, not get too overwhelmed and participate.  Then if you find that the “social” aspect is equivalent to being in your office, and business is growing, you may want to be involved with several groups.  For me, it started with 1 leads/network group. Then went to 2, then 3 then 6.  I found that the socializing part took the pressure off, allowed people to ask me questions when they were ready (in a non-sales, non-threatening way) and I was always available.  And it was more fun that being stuck in an office. This helped me build a rapport, trust, credibility and confidence over time that people began to seek me out more often.

Network Group Content
  • You first need to understand the structure of the meeting.  In one of my groups, we went around the room and did our “1 minute commercial”.  For me at the time, I was promoting aromatherapy, so I would feature a different product or essential oil (just 1) every week. I found that 1 powerful opening sentence that describes who you are and what you do, then 1-2 sentences of content about the product you want to spotlight (not sell), then closing statement that drives action (like, “My name is...you can contact me via email or phone, and I look forward to helping people...”)
  • Make a list of group content topics so you are prepared each meeting to share in a confident, powerful, friendly and fun way.  You want to choose products or services that are combinations, unique, serve a specific purpose, that you can’t really get anywhere else. If I was to share information about the good mineral make-up I found, I use and now distribute, I'd say something like...
    “Hi, my name is Jennifer. How many people have or know someone who has a serious health concern? [I'd raise my hand] And if you or they could minimize their toxic exposure that feeds that health concern, would you do it?  [I raise my hand].  Well, did you know that studies show that in the morning women apply over 126 chemicals (in 12 different products) before they leave the house (also known as topical ingestion)? And that during their lifetime, women will ingest approximately 126 pounds of lipstick?  That could be your wife, mom, sister or friend.  Isn’t that crazy?  That was me until my friend and I found a solution that decreases the amount of "toxic topical ingestion", simply but switching what I was already buying, to a healthier source.  My name is Jennifer. If you’d like help switching what you use to something healthier, you can call or email me anytime.”

Getting the most of out network groups
  • Know what to say when people ask you, “what do you do?”.  “I am.... and I help people...”. You want something that states what you do, who you are and what type of referral you would like, all in one, non-sales-like sentence. remember, it's about building relationships, not just selling a product.
  • After you have become a group member, ask how you can be a featured guest speaker at one of their meetings.  Some groups allow 1-2 members to do a 15 minute presentation.
  • Ask to be a vendor at networking events, volunteer to work the “group booth” as this will bring you notoriety, and help people become familiar with you.  The more they see your face, and in a capacity of helping, the more they will feel comfortable with you.
  • Partner with other members for events, home party opportunities, speaking opportunities, referral network.
One of my passions is helping other health-prenuers realize their dreams. If you are looking to start and build a successful part r full-time home business, let me know.  We can chat about your goals and opportunities to make that happen. 

Have a super healthy and happy day!  :)

Natural Cleaning with Aromatherapy

Essential oils can be a powerful tool when cleaning naturally.  Cleaning green is not just a fad, but very important when it comes to our health - physically, mentally and emotionally. Chemical exposure has been scientifically linked to a number of health disorders, as well as mental imbalances and nutritional issues.

My natural cleaning journey began 13 years ago.  I was diagnosed with sever Crohn's, colitis, leaky gut and IBS.  I was a complete mess and barely could get out of bed everyday.  I had to take  sabbatical from my job, erase everything on my calender for the next several months, and do a complete overhaul on my life.  Cleaning green was one of the first places I started.  Who knew that being exposed to bleach, window cleaners, bathroom and kitchen cleaners, carpet powders and "fragrant" room sprays can put your body and mind into a tailspin?  I didn't.

After a friend of mine shared some astonishing chemical cleaning facts, and some healthy, natural cleaning substitutes, my life and health began to change.  My sinuses weren't stuffed up, my stomach wasn't rumbling and upset, my skin got better and hydrated, my mood changed.  All because of some simple household upgrades.

So, what was the secret?  Essential oils, baking soda, vinegar, liquid enzymes and a soap concentrate.  Yep, that's it.  Everything I needed to clean in just these simple, pronounceable ingredients.

Hopefully you can join me on April 11, 2015 at Harry P. Leu Gardens for my live class on Natural Cleaning with Aromatherapy.  We will talk about the benefits of cleaning green and share tips and recipes to replace those harsh chemical cleaners.  Here is the link to register - http://www.eventbrite.com/e/natural-cleaning-with-aromatherapy-tickets-15806711299.
