                                                     JOURNEYS MOTHER PELLET LOTION

I found this website about a month a go which is www.journeysmother.com
I originally bought the Journeys Mother Lotion Bar and loved it but the owner of the company ( Jackie ) also sent out to me a few of her 3 quarters of an inch heart shaped Pellet Lotion.  It is the same exact product but instead of being in a soap bar form  it  is in  these heart shaped pellets.
I love love these little heart shaped pellet gems.
You just take one out rub it in your hands which melts instantly with the warmth of your hands and you just glide it  onto your skin and let it sink in to quench  the thirst of your dry parched skin.
It is like a miracle worker
She even has travel sizes of these little gems which is great just do not put them in your pocket because they will melt.
They have 4 different scents to choose from and their scents are not over powering it is a nice light fragrance.,,
almost like a light  summer evening breeze frolicking throughout   your skin

She is just coming out with a new product which is these heart shaped pellets in a all natural sunscreen
( Fabulous ) perfect timing for this time of year.

These heart shaped pellets are not on her website as of yet but you can call her and let her know that you would like  to try some and she will give you prices on this
You will not be sorry I think this product will rock for the summer time especially because it is all natural
Jackie's mobile number is 201 952 1470 and once again her website is www.journeysmother.com
You have got to try out her pellets and her sunscreen pellets they really work for a fantastic quenching moisturizer for the skin that is all natural.  As the professionals say only the best will do and this in my opinion is it in a  heart shaped pellet.   Your skin will give you a big thumbs up.



Thank You

                  NEW BLOOD GLUCOSE METERS FOR YOUR DIABETES CARE IN THE US

There are a couple of new blood glucose meters that have just come in the market for the US for your Diabetes Care Management
The first one I wanted to let you know about is the IBG Star Blood Glucose Meter.     This meter I like a lot I got this one for my son he is a Type 1 Diabetic that I have a hard time getting him to test his blood sugars.  I found this meter on their website and kept on trying to have our insurance company get it for him.   i finally bought it for him it is so new that it is not in stores yet and most health insurance companies do not have it in yet
It was launched in the US in the past month.
What I like the most about this meter is that it attaches to your iphone and you can have it stay there or you can take it off and when you put it back on it stores the results that you had when it was off the Iphone.
You have all your results right there and if you are having a doctor's appointment coming up or if you are having a problem with your blood sugars that you  need to have your doctor see the results so that he or she can help you manage your Diabetes better you can instantly down load your results and send them to your doctor by email.
The website for the IBG Star Meter is www.ibgstar.us and their telephone number is 1855 424 7827
On their website you can fill out a form to get a discount on test strips.  The cost of the meter is 76.00 and right now the only way to get this meter is to go the website www.walgreen.com or www.diabetescareservices.com  
I did call our local Walgreen's Pharmacy and they were able to order it for me.
My son loves this meter he says that it is so easy and it is kind of fun to use.  He says that the only draw back is that it does not come with a case for it.  I called the company today and they said that they are working on getting a case for it but for right now they do not have one

The next meter I would like to talk about is the Accu-Chek Nano this is the newest meter from Accu-Check.  It is samll sleek and is incredibly accurate for results.  I like it becuase it has a back light which makes things a lot easier when you are testing in a spot that you could stand some light while testing .
the websit eis www.accu-cheknano.us and their telephone number is 1866 775 2016
I have not received this meter yet but I am supposed to get one shortly so I  will let you know about it then
They are giving out free meters for this one

The last meter I want to talk about is the one Touch Verio IQ this is the newest meter for Life Scan One touch meters.
This meter tells you the patterns that you have with your blood sugar results .  It will notify you of these patterns on the blood glucose meter so that you can talk it over with your doctor to make changes to help with your diabetes management.
At this time they are not offering free meters they are offering a 30.00 coupon to use towards the meter,  the meter cost around 70.00 and the strips are 40.00 but once again you can sign up for a discount card for the strips and they will take off 20.00 so the strips for 50 strips will cost you 20.00
You can call the Life Scan One Touch Site Verio IQ site at the following number 1 888 567 3003

                                    MORE GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS FOR SKINCARE

I just found a few more websites for gluten free skin care products that I have tried and really like.
The first one is at the website www.charcoalhouse.com, when you are there you will see some catalogs for different products I went for the soaps and tried a few and really liked them they are super moisturizing and really lather up quite nicely.  I tried out the Unscented  Charcoal soap , the Charcoal Milk Soap and the Charcoal Lavender Soap , all of them I really liked very much .  My skin was soft supple and felt rejuvenated.
The Charcoal soaps and different products are supposed to be great for skin problems even some medical centers use charcoal for skin infections and problems of the skin.  I got the Charcoal Salve for my husband he has a spot on his calf that never goes away that is dry and inflamed.  He has tried this and it looks better now.
The soaps are like I said super moisturizing and a rich lather but they do have the color of charcoal for the lather but if it works who cares and it is supposed to be great for your face and supposed to help out with any wrinkles you might have.  .  

Another great website for dry skin is www.journeysmother.com This is a lotion in the shape of a soap bar.  It is not soap but a super moisturizing bar full of deep moisturizers to give your skin a pick me up, this is for people  if you have skin like mine ( Lizard Skin ) it has really helped.  You just place the lotion bar  on the dry areas of your body  and the warmth of your skin melts the lotion onto your skin which is great you do not have a drooping drippy mess to rub into your skin . You  just have a thin layer to smooth into your skin with no residue, your skin drinks it all in.
They have 4 scents to choose from one of them of course is unscented and they even have it that you can custommize your own bar of lotion .  You have the choice of three different butters to put into it then you have a choice of three different carrier oils to put  into it then lastly you have a choice of 3 different essential oils to put into it.  I was just thinking about it and with this you could easily make up your own insect repellent in a bar of lotion for when you  are going camping or beaching at the sea shore just look up what scents the insects do not like for essential oils and you can make up your own insect repellent knowing what is going into it maybe even a repellent for your pet's skin issues. It goes onto your skin very easily and smooths into your skin right away I love the product very  much and it is labeled gluten free.  She also has Lotion Pellets which are little hearts the size of a half of an inch that are in a little bag which is great if you want to bring to  some where yo are going to or if you are traveling for a day or two and want to bring some lotion with you.  It is the same concept you just place the little heart in the palm of your hand rub together and smooth over your body.  She does have traveling Pellets which are in a little tube she does say on her website do not put this in your pockets it will melt

Another website i like is www.moondancesoaps.com I like these a lot also they have a foot powder that is out of this world it smells so sweet and nice and it is all natural.  I had thought about getting it for my husband but I think I use it more then he does .  The ingredients in it are Cornstarch, Baking Soda , Arrowroot Powder, Kaolin Clay, Sage, Chamomile, and Tea Tree  Essential Oil..  The soaps are all natural  and their prices are very reasonable and they make great gifts

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

                                               NATURAL REMEDIES FOR SKIN CARE

NATURAL LAUNDRY DETERGENT

Carve down your favorite bar of soap , I myself love the natural home made ones but as they say whatever floats your boat
Put the shaved soap in a small container and set aside
When you are ready to do laundry all  you have to do is take  out your container of shaved soap and take out 1 table spoon of it then take out 1 table spoon of Washing Soda which you can find in your local grocery store in your laundry aisle, then take out 1 table spoon of Borax once again will find it in your local grocery store in the laundry aisle this is now your detergent mix together and put in your washer.  If you wold like a scent just put in a teaspoon of your favorite essential oil more or less to soot your needs and this is it.  If you would like a fabric softener add a half of a cup of baking soda .

AGE CORRECTOR FOR THE FACE

Prim rose Essential oil just take a few drops of Prim rose oil and massage into clean hands and onto your face
I also like a product that is all natural from Loving Naturals , the website is www.lovingnaturals.com she has an anti aging cream that is out of this world all I can say is that it works

NATURAL MOISTURIZER

Coconut oil I love this product it works for so many things I use it as a moisturizer a hair gel , and it helps out with fly a ways with the hair.  It also is great for having extra shine .  Just rub a small amount of coconut oil in your hands then onto your hair or what ever you need for some deep moisturizing and deep conditioning

TOE NAIL FUNGUS AMONGUS

When you are in the beginning stages of a Toe Nail Fungus you  can use Menthol Ointment on the toes this works I use a natural one from Skinners Vaprorizing Salve I know last year they were giving out free samples of their product .  I love it it also helps out for minor aches and ;pains from muscle soreness and minor joint pains.  The telephone number for skinners is 1877 475 7416, the website is www.skinnerssalve.com  This product also helps  out with bruises, stuffiness  in the nose from colds or allergies, it also helps out with scratches and insect bites.

                                     MY FAVORITE GLUTEN FREE SKINCARE PRODUCTS

TEETH AND GUMS

I know this week I let you know about the Tooth Soap which I do love but I found out afterwards an  even better product that is also all natural and even better for your teeth.  This product is Herbal Tooth Powder by Luscious Garden website www.luscoiusgarden.com
This product is going to look like a charcoal colored powder and it is going to be gritty but the result in a word amazing.
It is  made out of a whole bunch of herbs that really will help your teeth and gums and best of all it is cheaper then the Tooth soap and cheaper for shipping.  I wish I found this out first.
Your breath will be so fresh and your teeth will look so good and so polished.
I truly love it I know i said this about the Tooth Soap and at the time I did feel that way but if I find something even better I am going to let you know about my experiences with a product.  This product is also supposed to last you for three months and I think the product costs 12.00 and I think it was 2.00 for shipping so for a product that works and looks and feels great and it will last for three months this is great.

MAKE UP

I love the products from the website www.all-gluten-free.com
She also have products for skin care and for for household care so you have everything in one spot which is great.  she also has which I really love an all natural nail polish which to me is great to have an all natural nail polish wit6h no chemicals to it that looks great and you know what you are putting on your nails is not poisonous .
I also work for Mary Kay my website is www.marykay.com/thegcats their mineral make up is outstanding it really hides  any imperfections in your skin.  The moisturizer I also love very much it makes my skin feel soft and supple

I just found a natural website for house hold care formulas which I really love .  I do not work for them but they are really so nice and they really work
The website is www.preferredorganics.com and the product that I really like on this website is the Luv My Laundry it smells so nice and cleans so well this will become your go to product for laundry care.  I have not ried yet the other products but when I do i will let you know what I think about them.

LOTIONS AND BATH PRODUCTS

I found this company about I guess it was about 7 months ago and I love it she makes the products herself and they are really great.  The website is www.soapysue.com
They are very economical and I just love all her products.  She will also make any scents that you would like her to make .  I asked her to make a Rosemary Mint   scent which she did and it is magnificent.  I love her Lotions they are great they really work with my dry skin areas.      My son's girl friend laughs at me with  all my natural products she says to me all the time come on EL see the light stop using the natural products.  I decided to get her some of the products from Soapy sue.  I purchased for her some natural soaps in Tahitian Musk and a couple of Bath Balms in the Tahitian Musk.  I gave it to her and she said well I do like the smell to it and after she tried it she said to me well that was really very nice thank you.
I converted her she now when she gets low with the soaps and balms asks me to get her some more which I gladly do.

I hope this helps you out in your quest for  not just gluten free but also natural products

Thank you

                                                                           TOOTH SOAP

Once again something a little bit out there but the newest craze for dental care is Tooth Soap
I saw this because I was looking for a more natural tooth paste.
I have tried a few and thought they were ok but i wanted something even more natural.
I found this product and it really excited me and it also was a little bit afraid at the same time.  It made sense to use this product for proper brushing of my teeth but it also I was  not sure if I was making a mistake.  After further reading about tooth soap ,,  I felt like I was making the right decision.  Countless people were talking about the benefits of ditching regular tooth paste and getting tooth soap.  They said that it was much more natural and that if you had sensitive teeth this would help if you had any dental issues at all this product could save you a trip to the dentist.
Countless customers said that they had gingivitis and it made their gums normal again.
After hearing all this and seeing that it was gluten free I was hooked .
I thought well it will probably taste really bad but when I got it it really taste ok.  .  Your moth and teeth just feel really clean.  
There are a couple different forms of this, you can get it in drops  which you would just put one to two drops on your tooth brush and brush away.  You can get it like a tooth past and this form you just put it on like a tooth paste, but you only use a pea size or you can get it in shreds .  This you just place 1 shred on your molars bite down for a few minutes wet your tooth brush and begin to brush, of  course rinse your moth when you are finished.  .
It comes n a few different flavors which is nice
I began looking for more natural tooth paste when seeing that a lot of times in articles they were saying that Flo ride is not good for you and that the other things in tooth paste are not good for  you either so this is how I began my search for a good natural tooth paste that would help my teeth and gums.
You will have to make your own decisions with this but for me I am really interested in this form of a natural product.  The ingredients in the tooth soap I bought are as follows Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Organic Coconut Oil,Coral  Calcium , Original Himalayan Crystal Salt Spring Water and essential oil.  I did the Spearmint  Flavor
There are many different websites for this I found this at www.toothsoap.com
You can go online and go to your search engine and put in Tooth Soap and get all the  information on Tooth Soap to form your own opinion

Thank You

                                                                        EARTHING

I just discovered this new process called Earthing.  I know some of you  are probably thinking this woman is out there well maybe I am but after looking into  this process I am convinced it works
When you have a chance go into  your web browser and put in Earthing and you too  will be amazed as much as I have been.
This is the process of getting back to Nature and quite possibly taking away the pain and inflammation in your body from chronic diseases like Diabetes like Celiac Disease and many other autoimmune diseases.
What you  do is quite simple you just go outside in the morning when there is due on the grass put your bare  feet into the grass and walk bare foot on the grass or  just sit with your bare feet in the grass for up  to 40 minutes.
Evidently there is electrical currents going through the ground that are good currents and you absorb those currents through your bare feet and they begin to work to rebuild your body
They say this process will lower blood pressure they even say to talk this procedure over with your doctor because you might have to lower your medications and it can lower blood sugars it can help you sleep better and it can take away pain.
They even say that this process will also make you look younger and feel younger not all bad for something that is free.  It also helps with losing weight because you  are losing the inflammation in your body so there is nothing for your body to hold the weight on
I have been doing for this for about a week now and love it, after I  am done I  feel more calm and I just feel less stressed.
There is a book on this called Earthing by Clint Ober Steven Sinatra and Mark Zucker it is really a great book and what do you have to lose.  It is something right outside your door and if it helps to make your body rejuvenate itself why not try  it.
They say in the book when you go to the Sea Shore and you walk  on the beach you  instantly feel better you think it is because you are at the shore and the sea air this is part of it the other part is that you have done the process of grounding yourself with nature the same way with what I am asking you  to try of course if you are a Type 1 Diabetic like me just watch where you  are walking so you do not get anything in your feet that might be harmful to your feet like sticks or other sharp objects.
Dr. OZ and Dr. Mercola have done shows on this saying how wonderful it is on your body.

Thank you
