SAD

My previous blog describes what SAD is, and how it can affect you. Also, I explained the highlights of how to treat the disorder.  What you don't know, is I have suffered from this disorder for more than 10yrs.  2013 was my time to change my life. I'll be 41 in March, and if I don't change my ways? Well, we all know that after 40? It's half of your life over, on average.

Don't place anymore chemicals in your body than necessary. Fresh fruits, and vegetables are healthier and happier way to change. Since the beginning of this year, I have incorporated water aerobics 3x a week, with every morning starting my day with Slim & 6, stretching. Before bed is a hearty cardio workout, then it's sit down, relax and take Beauty Control charge! I've been sleeping better. My mind is more focused at work. It feels so much better! It can be the same for you, but you have to be dedicated!
Don't give in to Drs, and take antidepressants. Why place another chemical in your body. Boost your mind and body instead.  Start your workout today, and contact me today for your Beauty Control.

Do You Suffer from SAD?

SAD: Seasonal Affect Disorder....a type of depression that affects a person the same season every year.
Affecting people from ages 15 to 55. What are the causes? Lack of Sunlight. Lack of sleep-wake cycle & other circadian rhythms. Causing decreased Serotonin, a chemical in the brain that affects our mood.

How does this affect your health? Tend to eat more, and the craving of more carbs. Therefore, increased weight gain. How to work through it? Regular exercise, and more daily activity during day time hours. Whether you like to walk, ride a bike, or swim. Increase of daily exercise decreases SAD from affecting your life.

Take charge of you! Don't let something like SAD affect, or remotely slow down your life. Take charge and create a whole new YOU!

Beauty and You

Why Beauty Control Spa? First, let's begin with why is it important to protect your skin? From the sun for starters. Do you have sun spots? Would you like to rid them from your skin? BCSpa can do just that. The Mayo clinic suggests that any facial treatment you use have at least an SPF 15. All BCSpa products have at the minimum, SPF 15. Next, and very important! Do you smoke? Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. BCSpa facial treatment works on the outter most layers of the skin to increase blood flow and collagen. To reduce those wrinkles caused by smoking. Do you wash your face twice a day? STOP. It's drying out your skin. With BCSpa treatment, you only wash your face at night, and use cool water to keep the pores closed throughout the day. Our products do not contain irritants like rubbing alcohol. BCSpa is all natural products that are not animal tested. BCSpa facial treatments keep your skin healthy and hydrated. Removes wrinkles, crows feet and aging spots. Order BCSpa today.

Apples? Really!

We have all heard the saying: An Apple A Day Keeps The Dr Away. Ok! But how and why? Things you may not know about Apples.

Bones: eating just 1 apple a day protects post-menopausal women from osteoporosis & can increase bone density. Apples contain phloridzin & Boron...

Asthma: kids w/asthma, drinking apple juice can reduce daily wheezing. Expecting moms, eating 1 apple a day can reduce the risks of your child developing asthma.

Prevention of Cancer: Lung Cancer reduced by 50%, Breast Cancer by 17%, Colon Cancer by 43% and Liver Cancer by 57%.... Are you going to start eating one Apple a day?

Peppers & Tomatoes This week?

Peppers provide 2/3 of Alpha & Beta Carotene, Lycopene, Lutein, Cryptoxanthin, Zeanxanthin, & ANTI-INFLAMMATORY Nutrients. I KNOW!  WHY DO YOU KEEP GIVING US THIS JARGON. To  help you better understand what your getting from your food intake. So, what is Zeanxanthin? A powerful, Natural Antioxidant that protects your eyes & helps our brain to be protected from free radicals. Zeanxanthin sharpens Central Vision. The more ripen the pepper? The more Vit.C you will receive. One cup of bell peppers RAW! Gives you 43.5% of your daily value in B COMPLEX & VIT. C? 195.8% of your daily diet.

So, what about Tomatoes? Remember, they are a FRUIT. Benefits? LYCOPENE! What is Lycopene? The most imporant antioxidant to fight cancer cell formation. It is NOT naturally produced in your body. No other fruit or vegetable has this much ability to carry Lycopene. One glass of tomato juice daily can keep a person healthy for life! Are you going to incorporate these into you daily living? I AM!

Weekly Goals vs Daily Goals

Setting daily goals are a positive, as well as weekly goals. I set my daily goals the night before. On Sunday, I have made it my goal to set up my week, and see how well I can accomplish these tasks. I believe it to be imperative to stay on track with good health, and promoting my business.

It is a time to reflect back each week, and set the goal a little higher, or lower. Why do I say lower? Sometimes, when setting goals, we set the bar too high for ourselves, and we don't think that it's unreachable, until that week is up, and we are looking back. What would have been a more attainable goal? You are disappointed that you didn't reach the goal. Don't be disappointed. Observe the set, reassess, and notate a more attainable situation for you. One of my goals this week, is to plan my Open House Beauty Control Spa party. It's a broad goal, that can be a daily accomplishment. Also, plan my weekly diet with adding more fruits & vegs, + get my whole house involved in the fun of planning healthy meals for this week. Enjoy your day. Love to all!

One Week.....

One week of using BC Spa, and I'm soo happy with how much of a difference I see from the first pose to today's pose. It may not be as visible to you, as it is to me. Or people who see me every day. However, the change is evident. Not only that!

My eating habits have changed, and I feel really good! I have more energy, and I wake up feeling refreshed, and energized. Anyone that knows me....knows that I was NOT a morning person. I'd wake up hateful, and it would take at least 3 hours for me to wake up. That would include at the least 4 Mt Dews, and several cigarettes. Just to wake me up. I never ate breakfast. In the field of Nursing, who has time. In my world? I didn't. However, I have reassessed that, and there is plenty of time! Final thought.... Reassess your life. What's good, and bad. Do you want to change you? If you do? Keep watching my blog, order your BC Spa from me today. Just $75 to get started. You receive everything + get your items at a discount. There are other options. I'm all about saving $$. It just make cents.....

Begin The Weekend!

It's been a great first week to the New Year. Goals for the weekend are to stay motivated, portion control and focus on you! How? If you haven't ordered your Beauty Control Spa products, maybe you have questions? Blog me or google me. We can chat and answer your questions, + get you started.

Find a local farmers market. Pick up those bright fruits and vegetables, if you haven't done so already. Not everyone likes their fruits and vegetables RAW! I do, but a tip to my progression this week. I placed fresh blueberries and strawberries into plain yogurt. AWESOME! I was full from lunch to dinner off of 1cup.

Finally, focus on you! 15min a day of stretching, 30min of a good Cardio workout 2 hours after dinner. Right before bed I use my complete BC Spa treatment, because this is my time. It's relaxing, and places you in a tranquil setting. You find yourself sleeping better, & waking up more focused, full of energy.

Carrots In Your Diet?

First impressions of you are made by the look of your skin. The color, texture and how your skin flows, explains your mood and health for that day. Hmm. Never thought about this until yesterday. My doctor told me that my skin was glowing and he hadn't seen me look this good in over a year of treatment. Okay!

Carrots contain Beta-Carotene! Great for eyes and skin! Keep something in mind. Beta-Carotene is found in orange and dark green vegetables. Carrots are an easy, fun snack. Did you know they are packed full of antioxidants, alpha & beta Carotene, Vit C. Cyanidins, & Leutin. All this giving you healthy eyes: inside & out. Carrots contain Flacrinol-a natural pesticide to prevent fungal diseases. Carrots produce a natural anti-inflammatory that prevents red blood cells from clumping, keeping your heart healthy! Last, Vit.A! Flushes your body free from toxins!  Add Beauty Control, and Healthy Eating, right here.

Oranges Improve Skin & Health?

One Orange a day, does all this? We have all heard about collagen. However, did you know that collagen improves skin tone and color? Remember, collagen is for firmer skin, and the prevention of early aging. I know! Your asking...What Can 1 Orange Due for my complete body?

Oranges provide Vitamin C, A, &B! Contains Antioxidants(hence skin), Flavonoids, Pectin, Synephrine, & Liminoid. Ok, so big words, and what does it still mean! It means that if you eat just 1 orange a day, you can boost your immune system, reduce the risks of Cancer from the mouth to the stomach, reduces cholerosterol production, repairs & rebuilds genetic damaged sperm, & lastly the prevention of constipation. Will you start eating just 1 orange a day? I know I have started. What about you?

Goals!!

Goals! What are they today! I went to the store yesterday and purchased all fruits and vegetables in the colors notated from my previous blog. For me? It's making that change happen, and it won't happen just by talking, it's doing! I'm doing. What about you?

So, last night I washed my face, with Beauty Control. This morning I threw my hair up, workout outfit on, and accomplished 15minutes of Slim & 6. It's my way to stretch out and get ready to do a 30 minute work out. What's my 30 minute workout? Just Dance 4! Yes! Love it, and I've got energy today that I haven't had in years! All I've known is work, work, and go and work some more. It's time for me! I showered up, only wiping my face, no products. My face is so soft! Download this app. It has a great way to help you accomplish your first set of goals. The app is called NutriSystems, and it's FREE! Pick your meals each day, eat what you love, and lets begin a great new 2013! Join me tomorrow for more tips. Everyone have a great day!!

Nutrition & Healthy Skin

Starting today is when you take charge of your life! Lets begin with the basics. Nutrition, begins with healthy food choices. Did you know that all fruits and vegetables with the colors Yellow, Green, Red & Orange, have certain antioxidants that help you in two ways. One, healthier looking skin, and it begins the cleansing cycle to the body, for weight loss. Yes! Weight Loss. Only the beginning!

I'm focusing today on skin care. Beauty Control Spa has a complete system that did you know? Erases away blemishes, wrinkles, and crows feet. This is a one time a day program. If you wash your face in the morning? Don't wash your face at night. Except to remove makeup. So, when I consult my clients, I explain to exfoliate and wash your face at night. When you get up the next morning, don't wash your face. This creates a loss of top layer of skin, that cannot rejuvenate quickly enough, and drys out the skin.

Follow me tomorrow for more tips! Contact me for how you too can obtain Beauty Control.

Happy New Year!

I've rang in the New Year with family, and many thoughts on how to make 2013 Independent Consultants....EVEN BETTER! Join me this New Year with excitement and joy to prepare to party, make a difference in people's lives with BC Spa, and not only enjoy the new smells that Scentsy offers, but the awesome Belgian Chocolate that Velata has to offer. There is so much I can offer to anyone dedicated to being their own boss. Or I can offer you great gifts and fun at your home with one great party.

However you would like to kick off your New Year? I'm here to help! Just ask. Love to all, and have a Great Happy New Year!

It's Time

The New Year is less than 24 hours away. What are you going to do to change things from 2012? Making 2013 your best year ever. How about more socializing? With Velata you can not only entertain your own family and friends, but you can add to your personal pocket. Why have your own business? To keep yourself in a social scene, and show everyone just how easy it is to have their own easy set up of Fondue.  This is an easy set up and clean up system. The Belgian Chocolate is gluten free, and it's as simple as pouring the chocolate into the fondue warmer. Turn on the warmer to low, and you not only have a non-scorching fondue, ready to serve your favorite chocolate covered items, mine is strawberries. Whatever your pleasure? This system is simple, and when you have some left over? Just place the lid on top, and place it in the fridge. When you are ready for more fondue? Place the container on the warmer, place the switch on high, until melted, and then turn to low for serving. More details and specials for January are available. Email or blog to set up your time to show off this awesome system...

Start today by asking me questions. I can answer your questions and get your starter package to you in 3 to 5 days. Are you ready! Start with u today!!

Today's Goal

Off today? Have some FREE time? Then make today, the day you go out. Today you need to speak to 10ppl. I say 10, because where do those 10ppl go, when your done explaining your business to them? They go and speak to 10ppl a piece. That 100ppl that just heard, or spoke about your business adventure.

My goal today is to speak to 10ppl about Scentsy, Velata, and BC Spa. With three businesses working at the same time, or simultaneously, I have to be selective. That makes 30 ppl that I need to speak to today. I've got my lists made out, and my business cards ready to go. What's stopping you today? Remember, your business succeeds, if you want it to. Determination is key. What's your goal? I know your asking, Michelle, what's your goal?

My goal? I have a wedding to plan, a certain honeymoon to take. Have a great day everyone!

Setting Goals

Today is goal setting day. Where do I want to go with my businesses, and which one do I want to focus on the most? Which one of my business's can I market easily an attain a goal? Should I give up one, or should I narrow the field to just one business? All this is being thought out and placed down into my Buainess journal. Yes, you need a journal to log what works, and what doesn't. You need to set you goals within reaching distance. Do not set expectations too high. If you set goals with high expectations, and do not reach them. Then you feel you failed. When in essence you didn't. You achieved many things, just out of sorts and in the wrong direction. That's how we lose our Independent Consultants. You are capable of doing this. You just needed guidance. I'm here to help. Brainstorm. Just let me know by leaving your comments. Have a great day! Think about what I said. Blog back. I'll respond.
