Earth Day

So many activities for Earth Day are happening today and all week.  I am posting a link to 2 videos regarding cleaning products causing asthma.  Get Clean by Shaklee is green, safe and works.  Basic H2 is the reformulated version of the Basic H that Jacques Cousteau used (twice as strong).  When green was just a color, Shaklee embodied it.  Use safe cleaners, protect the earth and your in-home environment!  Save the landfills from containers of cleaners and save emissions from the transportation of all those products.

Shaklee Get Clean® Is One of "Oprah's Favorite Things!"
On November 20, 2007, on her famous "Favorite Things" show, Oprah described the Shaklee Get Clean Starter Kit as "the perfect gift for someone who likes cleaning and also likes to help the environment." Millions of loyal Oprah viewers have seen the video clip.

EARTH DAY

April 22, 2010 is the 40th Earth Day.  Many countries and people celebrate Earth Day, and the Green movement is still ongoing.  What are you doing to promote healthy living and sustainable practices in your neighborhood, family, workplace or city?  You can recycle, use CFL bulbs in your fixtures, energy efficient appliances and reusable shopping bage.  Plant trees and shrubs and use native plants in your garden whenever possible to cut down on watering.  Continue to spread the word because there are still those who don't believe in global warming (even though the glaciers are melting and polar bears are drowning because there is less floating ice for them to rest upon; even though weather is more violent and storms larger than before).  Yes, the earth goes through natural weather phases and warming/cooling trends but with all the over-population of the earth and carbon emissions, man has contributed greatly to global warming and the speed with which it is overtaking all of us.  Don't be fooled - every little action counts.  Do what you can to keep the planet green.  There is such a thing as finite resources - have you ever run out of sugar or bread?  The planet can run out of oil; water aquifers can be depleted and never restored (think Florida).........
Be kind to yourself because of your actions, big or small.  Green up your living space, and outdoors use sunscreen (after getting your 15 minutes of Vitamin D unprotected, put on the sunscreen)!
Here is an Earth Day short video from last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWlRuIiRrIs

Mobile payment systems gain traction - San Jose Mercury News

In this fast moving, electronic world, there are great innovations to make life more entertaining, easy and exciting. Now we can look forward to tapping our cellphone to make payments for goods. I welcome anything that makes transactions faster and seamless. With consumers looking to the internet for facts and consumer information, it is a serious consideration of how to separate fact from fiction (Snopes anyone?) and reputation vs. hype. That is why I use Shaklee products and share them with others with my online Independent Shaklee Distributor store. Shaklee has a long environmental history, high scientific standards, a stellar reputation, and offers and are products for the whole family that work and are guaranteed.

Looking for Natural Nutrition?

In 2006, Shaklee Corporation marked its 50th year with a continued commitment to producing top quality products, to environmental citizenship, and to ongoing philanthropic endeavors. Founded on the philosophy of offering products in harmony with nature and good health, Shaklee adheres to the principles that were established by Shaklee’s founder, Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee. Ingredients must be as natural as possible and ingredients must reflect the most recent scientific and technological advances. The major priority for Shaklee is to use natural ingredients in the products whenever possible.

Shaklee defines "quality" as meeting or exceeding the highest standards in the industry, from product conception to market entry. A team led by Jamie McManus, MD, Chairman of Medical Affairs, Health Science and Education, is comprised of nutritionists, chemists and food scientists, who are involved in all stages of new product development and the continuing evaluation of existing products.

Shaklee is a leader in research, has powered numerous athletes including Olympic medalists, has provided NASA with a re-hydration drink for the astronauts for their re-entry to Earth's atmosphere for years, and was green before it was popular to be called green. The company philosophy includes Always Safe, Always Green and Always Works.

August 11


Will it be sunny for my birthday today? Hmmmm, it is the Pacific Northwest after all, but we are in the sign of Leo, ruled by the sun! C'mon, sun! Still catching up on mail, email, news, etc. Have to go back to my corporate job tomorrow but had fun while I was off this past week, mingling with my Green friends, seeing my daughter.
Even though everyone thinks it rains here all the time, I get tan, even through sunscreen. I do try to keep SPF on my face but absorb some rays and Vitamin D from sun on arms, legs, hands for 10-15 minutes and then put sunscreen on them. I have a slight tan, good for living so far north, just from hanging out in yard and garden. Speaking of SPF, I use the Enfuselle SPF 30 because: 1) it is proven to not break down in sun, 2) it protects against UVA and UVB, and 3) it has triple-patented Vital Repair+ complex which makes your skin feel great. Under my makeup I use the AM Repair which is SPF15. And....speaking of Vitamin D, apparently all people in North America who live north of Atlanta do not get enough from the sun, wow, that's a lot of people.

Raining


After about 2 wks of very hot dry weather in Seattle it is now raining. Left hot weather a wk ago to go to St Louis for the Shaklee conference - it is very hot and very very humid there -sunny skies but heavy air. I'm glad to be back in the cooler less humid part of the country. The rain might green up our grass because it looks like straw right now. In our flower garden pictured here, we use organic fertilizers, including Shaklee Basic H. This year it looks a bit different as we have tomatos and squash planted near the building. We water with the hose so we can target areas that need it.
