Water is a resource that is becoming more and more of a concern for lack of it, or how tainted it is with chemicals…

This is another resource I absolutely love – National Geographic’s  The Green Guide. Wonderful information and educational tidbits.

For instance, are you aware of how much water is used for our food? It’s not so much of what we use personally in our home (although that does contribute some) – but for food processing!

Here is a informative and fun quiz to take to see what your general H2O usage is, and what you can decrease in use to conserve more.

Watch this video- it’s an eyeful! It will REALLY get you thinking about the food you eat and how it’s processed, not to mention the chemicals used . I think I am going to look into growing my own garden now for sure .

This past week-end was Shaklee’s annual Global Conference and it was something to see and experience. People from China, Malaysia, Japan, Mexico, Canada, and of course the USA were there.

We really are becoming a global society and what will that do as our world gets smaller and smaller.  Will there ever be one leader of the world? Ha – just a thought … It was amazing to see these countries represented!

I’ve only been a Shaklee distributor for a short time and this year I really got wrapped up in the excitement – how can you not ( if you have ever gone to any live conference you know what I mean).

The theme of the conference this year was “The American Dream” and the new “Dream Plan” to help and inspire Americans to dream again after so much has been taken away – employment, savings, and so on. Interesting and oh so timely because I wonder what’s happening to the American culture? Never before in history (maybe during depression years) has there been such mistrust, lives disrupted financially,  and a sense of doom and gloom.  But today as I watched the Sunday news – “This Week with Christiana Amanpour” (she’s excellent) and one of her guests said we (Americans) were beginning to live in a culture of hate, pointing the fingers, blaming others, and so on.

Do you think so? I don’t really want to believe that, but times are hard. So, it was interesting that the theme of this conference was tapping into what’s happening now (which is smart marketing)- scary. But, you can always look at your class as half full or half empty, right? Then  out came the overall message of a preventative health movement for the future.  I buy into that as an RN, and with my own health in mind as well as my family’s – this conference was playing my song!

I think I have mentioned that many illnesses can be prevented and I agree 100% with this philosophy.  I believe in the Shaklee products (yes, I use them- my hair stopped falling out after using their shampoo)especially after the Landmark Study they did about 2 years ago. They mention it in the video below.

So, my post today is to shamelessly share with you a company I absolutely love and am proud of. I am very honored to be part of the Shaklee family.

Let me just share with you the new products released at the conference too. And they have totally redesigned their compensation plan which I am not going over here because I am learning about it myself!

Products:

1. They just released the FIRST approved FDA label claim of a “cholesterol reducing” natural product containing sterols. Sterols come from plants, nuts, grains, and block cholesterol in the GI tract from being absorbed into the bloodstream where it clogs the arteries. What happens is the cholesterol passes as waste. Very nice alternative to Lipitor/statin medications that have side effects.

2. Vita – D3. Current research shows that many Americans are deficient in vitamin D which is VERY important for our heath, bones, skin.. In fact strength training and vitamin D3 strengthens bones – very significant for the aging population, and children as well are not getting the VD they need.

3. Get Clean Water Pitcher. Now you can have clean, drinkable water for 365 days and ranks higher in screening out pollutants such as lead and a multitude of other chemicals. This pitcher is certified to do this where other leading brands are not.

There’s a whole bunch more news, but I shall spare you! You can always go to the website and check it out. They are upgrading it so I don’t know if you can access it yet. You can email me too at info@leslynotes.com if you have questions.

Watch the video to hear about the Shaklee difference.

And on the News …
