Party In Your PJs!!!

I really do LOVE going to direct sales parties, they can be such a good time and I love learning about new products and business opportunities.  The trouble with parties is the consultant conducting the party for the hostess always needs bookings, because that is how the business customer base grows.

I LOVE Pampered Chef for example, but I just don't have that many friends who have time to break away and spend a few hours at my home checking out cookware so that my consultant can grow her business and I can earn hostess credits for a new ice cream scoop or one of those $100+ skillets I want so badly.  And to host I need to clean, cook etc to be ready for the party.

Recently I attended a party, in my PJs, from my dinning room table!  It was awesome because we learned all about the products, the hostess earned credits and goodies, there was a prize drawing, and the consultant made money!  In fact everyone in attendance was sitting at home in PJs sipping their favorite beverage.  It was hosted as an event online on Facebook!  Now if you had told me  this idea a year ago I would have thought you crazy, but these are different worlds and require different, creative approaches.  Sure there are book parties but those are not as much fun at all.  But this was a blast!

Naturally I looked into this concept and found that one of my direct sales/party plan companies does them so I am inviting ALL of my readers to attend this event on Friday night, 8/2 at 9pm EST.  It's FREE!  You party right there in your PJs (or whatever you are comfy wearing to the party).

You simply log on to Facebook, RSVP that you want to attend and then show up at 9pm this Friday on the event page.  You will need to refresh the page to keep up, but trust me when I tell you that this is one of the coolest ways you will attend a party.  And someone attending is going to be awarded the hostess credits to use as 'her/his party' and someone else will be winning the prize drawing.  So, come on over, RSVP then be sure to show up back at the event page at 9pm for the party to be eligible to win!  And you too can book a party this way and host your own PJ Party with me so you can earn hostess goodies!

Spiders? Repel Them Naturally!

Anyone who knows me knows that I do not care for spiders one bit.  Even though a friend once told me that when I kill a spider, the spider spirits are coming after me.  I wonder at times if he was kidding or maybe had a few wires crossed?  Either way, I'm NOT catching them and letting them go in the wild to return to my home.  I will kill them, BAM!

I much prefer to have spiders just stay away, and recently learned of a non-toxic, natural way to keep spiders at bay.

Lemon Essential Oil is a natural spider repellent, because, as research indicated, spiders 'taste' through their feet and do not like citrus one bit.  This likely leads folks to believe the myth that lemon furniture polish works, but that is only due to the surface being slick. Once it dries they will return.  But the lemon oil will last up to a week before you need to spritz areas again.

Get a clean spray bottle and mix one quart of water with 1 tablespoon of Lemon Essential Oil.  Always shake well before spraying to mix the oil with the water.  Now periodically spray around the laundry room, around windows and doors, anywhere spiders might be hanging out.  The better the quality and purity of the oil, the better it will work.  I recommend SwissJust Essential Oils as they are 100%, pure pharmaceutical-grade. 

Lemon Essential Oil is a benefit to humans too!  It lifts your spirits, inspires, improves your focus and can release unblocked energy.  It can help create a cheerful, positive environment. Not to mention it smells fresh and tangy.

Featured Essential Oil ~ Lavender Oil

As I have started menopause, aside from the hot flashes, the insomnia was driving me bonkers.  Waking every hour at night, then unable to go back to sleep was taking its toll on my work performance. 

I found the Lavender Essential Oil while paging through my consultant guide.  Here are some of the benefits of this oil:

• Tension release - great for when you are anxious like a doctor or dentist visit.
• Also helps if tension tends to bring on migraines and headaches.
• As a sleep aid, it helps promote restful sleep.
• It is great when you need to sooth sunburns, a minor skin burn, insect bites and other itchy skin due to allergies, eczema.
• Works as a mosquito repellent.

 Awesome isn't it?

I started by putting a few drops on a tissue at night, and inhaling the aroma as I placed it over my face.  I also found a few drops on my pillow case were helpful, as that tissue would float away in my sleep.  I sleep deep, relaxed and wake refreshed now. 

My dog, a cute little Yorkie, gets a dry patch on her back that itches.  It not only soothes that for her, she also smells good!

Stop my my SwissJust site to purchase Lavender Oil and experience the benefits!

From Skeptic To SOLD!

When a friend of mine began working for the SwissJust company, I was skeptical.  Sure I had "heard" about essential oils and alternatives to taking medications to treat everything from a headache to warts, but never really "believed" it would work.

One of my favorite book series, The Earth Children Series, by Jean M. Auel, often referenced healing properties in various plants, and again while I found it awesome in theory, I never really imagined it was real.

A few years ago I tried chamomile tea, the Sleepy Time Tea, from Celestial Seasons.  I was very surprised to find that it really worked! I was relaxed and drifted off to sleep easily.

So back to SwissJust...I was more than a little skeptical, so when my friend sent a set of "Just Favorites" to sample I set out to prove it was a bunch of hoopla.

That lovely plan backfired.  Not only did I discover that these oils work and live up to the claims, I loved the products so much I became a consultant.

One more way I can help other women not only LOOK it, but also FEEL Marvelous!
