Exfoliate Time
This is one of my favorite skincare products. For years I suffered with dry, cracked skin. At times I would scratch it to death!! I tried all kinds of moisturizers and nothing worked. A friend finally told me why!!! I needed to remove all the dead skin cells from the top layer so my pores would open and the products would absorb into my skin. This sugar/salt scrub that is packed with vitamin C and E is wonderful. My face and body have never felt better. Without exfoliation our products are not working effectively. This is heaven in a jar!!!........ |

If you are anything like me you are always finding time to be loving and helpful to others but very seldom take the time to do something for yourself. Well ladies, this must stop today!
For Mother's Day my kids gave me a box full of bath salts, scrubs, lotions and all sorts of pampering "staycation products". I allowed myself the time and am so thankful for this gift!!!! This is going to become a habit for me from now on!
We spend so much time stressed!! This week I am giving everyone an assignment.
Pick a night, any night you choose. Make a vow that you are not going to watch any television. Turn off all computers, telephones and devices.
Run a hot bath, add your favorite bubbles or salts to the water. Shut the light, strike a flame to a candle and close your eyes and relax.
These definitely are my newest favorite things. I hope you will take my advice and try them too!!!

LOVE YOURSELF
If money and time weren't an issue, what would you really like to do?
If money and time weren't an issue, what would you really like to do?
Is there something listed above that you wished you had more time to do?
Life gets busy and stressful and I feel to honestly love yourself we need to take time to do things we are passionate about. Sometimes it helps when you get away and lose yourself for a little while.
Pick a word! Any word! If you do not see something interesting on this list than choose a word of your own.
All that is required is that you care enough about yourself to be absorbed in something for you!!
What gives you pleasure that you have not allowed yourself to experience in a while?
Whatever it is, can you give yourself permission to indulge this week?
Promise yourself you will begin!
Give yourself permission to love and care for yourself as much as you do everyone else!

Trick Yourself into Saving Money
Buying things when they’re on sale is a great way to avoid overspending. But unless you are diligent to take the difference between the regular price and the sale price and actually deposit that into a savings account, are you really saving money? Nope. You’re just spending less. And you can “spend less” right through your entire paycheck.
While being careful to keep spending under control is admirable, it’s easy to fool yourself into believing that you’re a money-saving genius, when in truth you’re just spending all that you earn, wishing you made enough money to save some of it.
Getting started with actual savings—and by that I mean money that is put away into a safe place—can be difficult if you have a spending habit, a small budget or some of each. The way to remove the pain is to trick yourself into thinking you’re not really saving that much. Check out these tricks and get started today.
Call it a bill. This may sound silly, but just go with me here. Create a new monthly bill that you are obligated to pay and call it “Paying Myself First.” Make it look like an invoice of $5, billed to you. I don’t care how little money you earn or how poor you believe that you are. Anyone who really wants to start saving has $5 they can devote to the effort. Put this tiny bill at the top—ahead of the rent, food or phone bill. Your smallest bill will soon become your favorite.
Save all $1 and $5 bills. Whenever you get a $1 or $5 bill, save it. Make this your new personal rule. You do not spend $1 or $5 bills. Ever. Just find a cool place to stash them and don’t look back. You are going to be amazed how quickly your savings will add up–especially if you receive tips in your job. Can’t do both denominations? Then start by saving $1 bills.
Save all coins. This could be an alternative or addition to saving paper currency. Think this couldn’t possibly turn into anything useful? Think again! In just one year my hubs and I saved more than $1,100 in coins. We were shocked because it was so painless. Try it but make sure you are diligent. The rule: Do not spend coins, period.
Make payments to yourself. Once you make that last car, credit-card or other payment, celebrate lightly, then just keep making the same payments every month. But instead of making them to the finance company or bank, make them to yourself—straight into your savings account. After all, you’re used to not having that money to spend, so don’t change anything. Tricky, no?
Coupon savings. As you leave the supermarket so proud of yourself for all of your coupon savings, make a note of the exact amount you “saved.” Now really save it by depositing that exact amount into a savings envelope, drawer or account.
52-week challenge. This is cool. You’ll need a yearly calendar to pull off this trick. Look at each week’s placement in a year. Now save the number of dollars during that week that correspond to its placement in the year. For example, the first week in January you save $1 because it’s Week One. Second week in January you save $2 and so on. By the end of January you will have saved $10 ($1 +$2 +$3 + $4=$10). Then the first week in February you must save $5 because it is Week 5 of the year. Continue without fail throughout the year and you will have saved more than $1,000. You don’t have to wait until January to get started. Just figure out where you are right now in the year, and save that corresponding amount.

12 Things You Need to Remind Yourself of When You Wake UP
- Today can be great, but only if you make it so. – Why do we
often feel so powerless? Because we convince ourselves that we are.
We wait for things to be given to us – entitlements. But in life, there
are no true entitlements, and the truth is that if you want something then you
need to make it happen for yourself. You need to work for it.
Whether or not today is a great day doesn’t depend on the weather. It
doesn’t depend on your “mood” (that’s also within your control). It
doesn’t depend on anyone else. If you want to have a pleasant and productive
day then choose to have one. It’s all about your perception
and what you choose to believe and do. - There is a lot you CAN control. – There are plenty of
things in life that are out of our control, but don’t let this fool you into
believing that your life as a whole is out of your control. The reality
is, the life you are living is almost entirely by your own design. You
have made many little choices along the way that led you down the road you’re
currently traveling. Saying that your life is out of your control is a
copout – it’s what other people want you to believe so that they have an easier
time getting you to do what they want you to do. - You do not need anyone’s constant approval. – The need for
approval is like an addiction. If you base all your actions on the
approval of others, ultimately you find yourself running in place, sacrificing
your own happiness. Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s
pocket. Learn how to say “no” to people and obligations that do not add
value to your life. Your time on this planet is precious. As the
saying goes, “What you do today is important, because you are exchanging a day
of your life for it.” Don’t wait around for someone else to give you
permission to live. (Read Awaken the Giant
Within.) - Complaining is useless unless you can suggest a solution. –
Do not be a constant complainer. It doesn’t help you and it certainly
doesn’t help your relationships. If you do not like your current
situation, work towards changing it, but don’t just sit around complaining about
it. Complaining will only make others nearby not want to be around
you. Be someone that looks at the positive aspects of situations.
And if you do find a problem that needs to be addressed, be someone that
suggests a solution. The bottom line is that you will never get to where
you want to be by complaining about where you are now. Each step in your
life is preparing you for the one that comes after it - Success is a lifestyle, not a result. – We all want to
achieve success, but we need to remember that success in not a specific
achievement. Success is not crossing over some arbitrary finishing
line. It’s the ability to fight the good fight day in and day out.
Success is strength – the strength to keep pushing and to keep living your life
on your own terms. Success isn’t an end result. It’s a state of
being. You don’t win success. You are a success every day - The fact that you haven’t given up is a success in itself.
– It may give you little comfort to think about how you’re still waist deep in
the struggle, but the truth is you are one of the strong people with the guts to
keep at it. Many people give up before they even begin, but not you.
No, you wake up every day and get things done. You crawl inch by inch
against the current because you refuse to give up. You refuse to accept
mediocrity. You refuse to listen to others when they tell you that you’re
not good enough. You’re still in it, fighting the good fight.
(Marc and I discuss this in detail in the “Goals and Success” chapter of 1,000 Little Things Happy, Successful
People Do Differently.) - In every tough situation, kindness must be attempted first.
– People may make ugly comments. The airline carrier may lose your
baggage. Another driver may cut you off in rush-hour traffic. These
situations will happen daily. The question is: How are you going to
respond? Although your first response, like many others, will be to get
upset, why not try a different approach? Anger in these situations never
solves problems. People are far more likely to respond aptly to
kindness. And you can be kind and be firm at the same time. Get your
point across without sacrificing your integrity. It’s the only response
you will not regret later. - Bullies and energy vampires are not worth worrying about. –
We sometimes allow the wrong people to take up too much space in our heads and
hearts. We meet energy vampires and bullies regularly – especially when we
live in a big city or work in a large, cutthroat corporate environment.
These individuals will try to get to you – they will try to influence you and
become a part of your life because they find their own life to be mundane.
They already poisoned their own lives and now they are looking to poison
yours. Don’t let them get to you. - If someone hurts you, don’t take it personally. – Truth be
told, if someone hurts you, chances are, they have been hurt themselves.
So do your best to never take anything too personally. Don’t let
compliments get to your head and don’t let insults get to your heart. Most
people can only give others what they have received themselves. All your
actions and words should come from a place of love, but not everyone will be
loving in return, and that’s OK. As Miguel Ruiz explained in his book
The Four
Agreements, when you do not take anything personally, you
liberate yourself. You can open yourself to the world, freely, and not
have to worry about the judgments of others. - Your focused presence matters. – While modern technology
can be life-changing in many beneficial ways, there is an aspect of this
technology that greatly interferes with our lives and relationships. Do
not be so addicted to a screen that you miss out on the opportunity to enjoy
real life unfolding in front of you. Learn to disconnect. Learn to
slow down. Give people your full and undivided attention. Do not
seek mindless stimulation on a screen for no reasons, and refocus on nurturing
real human connections. - Good things in life end too soon when they aren’t
appreciated. – This isn’t to say that appreciating what you have when
you have it comes naturally – our minds tend to consider the possibility that
the grass on the other side is greener. But we need to mindfully remind
ourselves that life isn’t about constantly upgrading things. To live a
happy, fulfilling life we have to learn to appreciate and love what we
have. If you fall in love then do your sincere best to
nurture your love. Don’t wait for things to end before you start
appreciating them. - Today is a blessing. – Think about how many people die
every minute of every day and you’ll begin to realize that waking up in the
morning is a blessing. We don’t live in a world of perpetual peace, but
one laden with bouts of chaos. On top of this, accidents do happen and
people get severely injured and die because of them. Getting another day
to breathe, to experience life, and to do something meaningful is the greatest
gift one can receive. Make today count!
I just finished this book and fell in love so I had to share it.

I love my fitbit wristband activity tracker and wear it almost every day. For me trying to reach a new challenge is so much fun. I hardly notice the bracelet on my wrist and love the end of the day when I go onto my computer and see the success chart. I enjoyed this article which I read in the USA Weekend magazine and thought it would be nice to share with friends. Its a quick article and who knows, after reading it maybe you will want to look into purchasing an activity tracker too.
Fitness bracelets -- Get in step with technology
The Doctors, USA WEEKEND JUNE 6-8, 2014
They monitor your movement, heart rate and blood pressure, calories burned and sleep quality. Some even alert you if you've been inactive for too long.
Fitness wristbands are all the rage, and for many, they inspire healthy changes. These high-tech devices — popular models are made by Fitbit, Jawbone and Nike, among others — can serve to increase awareness, according to some experts. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of these activity-trackers:
Ignore it at first.
That's the best way to establish your baseline. Just slip on the wristband and go about your regular routine for the first few days, to help you see how much activity you typically get, suggests the Mayo Clinic.
Give yourself goals.
The trick is to start small so the goals are attainable and then improve in increments. Say you want to walk 10,000 steps a day, but your baseline is 2,000. Try to add 500 steps a day for a week, suggests the Mayo Clinic. After you meet that goal, add a little more until your reach your target.
Check out the charts.
Many devices chart or graph your data on a mobile app or website, which makes it easier to follow your progress and can offer some insight. If you see your exercise levels are highest in the morning, but stop past 6 p.m., that may motivate you to take a quick walk after dinner.
Share your stats.
Some wristband technology lets you connect with fellow users so you can encourage and root for each other; others have websites where you can challenge others and compete. Some thrive on that motivation; but even if you're more private, talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.

Avocado Shake

I blended it in my GNC smoothie maker and it was DELICIOUS! I feel like I had a big bowl of chocolate pudding for breakfast. It was so rich and the avocado gave it a creamy texture. Please give it a try and let me now how you like it. CocoaVia also has great snack bars so to obtain more information about them please visit their website www. CocoaVia.com

at the same time, you want them to be healthfully delicious – then you’re in the right place!

You can have fun with the basics or be a little adventuresome and throw in a few of our favorite smoothie additives for extra nutrition, either way it’s still good!
Why are Smoothies such a good Healthy Choice?
This drink option is an excellent choice, because through a smoothie, you are able to consume far more fruits and vegetables then you otherwise would through the Standard American Diet.
The sad truth is most of us do not consume an adequate amount of fresh produce daily, but the good news is that can be fixed, and it can still taste yummy! Typically, a healthy diet contains many different fruits and vegetables
in the raw form. What better way to consume them than in the form of a smoothie?
A healthy smoothie contains any type of produce like berries or pineapple to spinach or kale. These antioxidant-rich foods will definitely keep your smoothie interesting!

My new favorite things....AEROSOLES shoes www.aerosoles.com I finally found a shoe that is not only comfortable but stylish. I highly recommend checking out their website and viewing all their great styles in sandals, flats, dress shoes and boots..Also read the information below describing how the shoes are made.....Im so happy that in my opion I found the best shoes at affordable prices too!!!!!
Aero Innovations
From our diamond-flex sole for shock absorption, to the continuous updates made in the foam of the footbed to enhance the cushiony comfort that Aerosoles is known for, we are constantly testing the newest materials to create a lightweight shoe that bends with the foot as it flexes to create lasting comfort.
We have also developed unique technologies that will only be found in Aerosoles. Let us show you what sets us apart.
Diamond Flex Soles
Our rubber composition soles with a unique diamond pattern are designed to actually disperse friction away from the foot making if feel like you're walking on clouds.
Cushioned Insoles
Comfort foam footbed and sumptuous padded insole soothe and paper your feet.
Sueded Sock & Lining
Breathable and super soft our footbeds provide a soft layer for your foot to rest on.
Diamond Flex Soles
Our comfort starts from the bottom up, and you will always know an Aerosoles shoe by our unique Diamond flex sole found on every pair. The design absorbs impact and disperses pressure with every step. These diamonds are designed to work like tiny shock absorbers. They soak up impact from the harsh ground. Eliminate friction - for a smooth, comfortable stride.
Heel Rest Design
A technology found only in Aerosoles. This custom design distributes your body weight toward your heel, and away from the ball of your foot. The result, superior comfort in both high heels and wedges so you look and feel great.
Stitch N' Turn
To create this seamless smooth design, we start inside out, stitching the upper to the flexible rubber sole, which has our unique diamond pattern. Then, we turn the shoe right side out and insert our extra cushioned footbed. The result is an ultra flexible shoe that cradles your foot in the utmost comfort.
Extended Calf
Aerosoles Extended Calf Technology gives boot lovers twice the comfort with not one — but two zippers. Close the second zipper and your knee-high boots fit like a glove. Keep it open and suddenly you’ve got an additional two inches of give to accommodate athletic calves, thicker socks or tucked in jeans.
Scored Sole
This special construction features deeply scored rubber soles that bend and move the way your feet need to go. The result? Ultimate flexibility. Superior support. And a soft cushion that protects you from the harsh ground.
Strobel
As you step, the front of your foot bends, so we create shoes that bend with you and offer ultimate flexibility in the toe. By stitching the upper – not gluing it – to a soft flexible insole we eliminate stiff, hard boards that other companies use. Then, we add a flexible rubber sole with our unique diamond pattern. You will feel the difference in every step
When I was diagnosed with high cholesterol I was searching and looking for ways to change my diet and lifestyle. I saw Kathy Freston on a talk show promoting her latest book, The Lean and I was so impressed by her that I immediately downloaded it to my kindle. It was the best decision I have made. It truly is a life changing book. Kathy Freston gives dieting advice but she also provides information as to why eating healthier is so important and does so in a fun, caring, heartfelt way.
I also recommend you sign up for her email "The Daily Lean" which provides words of wisdom along with more tips and recipes. She is a very inspirational author and I know you will LOVE her work as much as we do. Find more about Kathy Freston on her website www.kathyfreston.com
Wellness expert Kathy Freston lets readers in on her secret: losing weight doesn't have to be difficult, and it can last. With this book she shares the powerful concept of The Lean--a radically effective approach to positive change--with a practical 30-day plan to transform your health and jump-start weight loss in the most gentle, easy, and automatic way possible.
Read The Lean to get everything you need for a leaner, healthier you. In the book you'll find:

• Over 40 delicious, healthy recipes and meal plans

I highly recommend this book. As the back flap of the book says Delightful, enpowering, and moving, The Best Advice I Ever Got is the perfect book for anyone who is thinking about the future, contemplating taking a risk, or daring to make a leap into the great unknown. This book is for all of us, young or old, who want to see how today's best and brightest got it right, got it wrong, and came out on top. All procceds go to Scholarship America, a non profit scholarship and educational support organization founded in 1958 that has made it possible for students across the country to achieve their college dreams.
I personally find all the stories inspirational. Great Book!!!

To be healthy, wealthy, happy and successful in any and all areas of your life you need to be aware that you need to think healthy, wealthy, and happy and successful thoughts twenty-four hours a day and cancel all negative, destructive, fearful and unhappy thoughts. These two types of thought cannot coexist if you want to share in the abundance that surrounds us all. -Sydney Madwed
