Staying Cool...
It’s
hotter than blazes here in Arizona – but after the cold winter
we had this year (we are wimps with the cold) I swore I would
never complain about the heat. I’ve been spraying the filters
in my air units with the Eucalyptus Oil to keep me and my
brood of animals healthy…it’s almost like taking a sauna,
without the expense. Also – for healthy tips, read my article
on Eucalyptus Oil located in the
archives. It includes an inexpensive recipe with
pure eucalyptus oil mixed with distilled water to help kill
dust mites. We offer all kinds of suggestions for staying
healthy and fit..
The latest
greatest news is that our
“Spunky Spa”
collection made it’s debut today. You have to see
the cast of characters, and products - Crabby Girl
Cramp Relief, Drama Queen Boo-Boo Balm,
Personal Trainer Nail Strengthening Gel , T-Zone
Tune Up and lots more. Our Lemon Shea butter smells
good enough to eat - as with our therapeutic line of
products, we will carry on with highly concentrated,
rich products and know you will love our new collection.
The instigator behind the labels and titles of products
is Traci at
The Creative Concept, who never ceases to amaze me
with her creativity and imagination. Traci is also
working on several other sites for me, including the Spa
line. We’ll keep you updated..

Friends on the
Web:
My friend Maggie’s site,
Together One Step Closer, just opened and we
hope you will take a look at it. Traci of
The Creative Concept built the site and it’s
so beautiful.
Maggie
has a complete line of cancer awareness products,
including her very own line of “Angels with
Attitudes” tanks and sweatshirts – lots of
awareness jewelry items, and even men's shirts! Maggie’s
favorite Planet Earth Remedies™ products are
available with her
personalized label on them. If you are in the San
Diego area, Maggie will be working
Hillcrest CityFest on August 14th, so if you see
similar products like mine and a banner that reads
“Together One Step Closer” STOP and take a look. My
largest customer clientele is in San Diego area –
and it’s not too often that the products make it
over there! The pricing is the same as
on my site, but part of the proceeds go to
charities Maggie is involved with.
