It is so easy to get caught up in the chaos of motherhood and business - and lose control of our own health, especially around the holidays. Without your health the chaos of business and life is overwhelming, exhausting and draining. The more we bury our own need for balance and health the less effective we became in all aspects of our lives.
Men and women across the country have a mirror image battle shared by others. Rather than beat yourself this year change some habits to keep your New Year's resolution in 2011.
Wake Up Call What is your wake-up call? Are you ignoring it while it rings off the hook? We all know what to do to get healthy. It is just a matter of taking action.
First Step The very hardest step is the first step. How many times have you thought about getting your life under control? You might have excuses a mile high that kept you from changing our habits; you are too busy, too tired and too overwhelmed. The last thing you want to do was add another commitment to your life. You probably also did not want to commit to something that will set you up to fail. Who wants to lose weight, only to have it come back and bring more friends along?
In recent years we have been working to correct false information that has spread on the internet. Now the main stream media has picked up the false information about the cosmetic industry that is being spread by special interest groups. Honestly, whether it is a blogger or traditional method we should expect more research from the people who share the "news."
After watching a short commerical this clip is one of the few examples in which the media actually allowed a guest to offer a rebuttal.
TODAY reached out to the International Fragrance Association about the claims about the dangers of some beauty products made in the new book No More Dirty Looks. Here is the statement they issued in response. Unfortunately, this just appears on their website and didn't get the kind of airtime that the false information got, but at least they printed it.
Recently white tea tincture (extract) was listed as a “must have” ingredients in the anti aging and anti acne products on the market along with rooibos tea extract. The use of such a wide range of teas in cosmetics has caused some confusion for the consumer and quite a bit of excitement for the cosmetic formulators and chemists.
White tea is rare and expensive. Green, black and white tea are all processed from the same bush called Camellia sinensis. White tea only uses the finest leaves from each bush and is picked early. The tea leaves and white colored buds are slightly steamed and then mostly sun dried using a minimal amount of processing. Because the tea has been hardly processed it contains high levels of antioxidants.

I love borders, borders of states, countries, time and imaginary lines that serve as worldwide dividers like the equator. I have stood with one foot in Italy and the other in the Vatican; one foot in Ireland, the other in Northern Ireland. My family has driven miles out of our way to cross the Artic Circle in Finland, the Continental Divide in Colorado and borders around the continent.
With each crossing, I imagined all that separates the two sides. Sometimes the things that divide one side from the other seem so small and insignificant that it is hard to determine the differences. And other times the border divides economics, language, politics, religion, culture and history. Today I still hold my breath momentarily when I cross over a border.
At Essential Wholesale we are committed to cruelty free testing methods. That is why we use human volunteers who love to be on our panel instead of caged animals who have no reason to ever apply a cosmetic. We never use irritants in our formulations and we thoroughly test in house before we send samples to our volunteer panel. We are looking to create an even larger list of volunteers to use on a regular basis.
Are you interested in joining our panel of volunteers that pre-tests our new formulas? All samples sent out to our panel of volunteers have been pre-tested in the lab for safety and preservation. We use our panel to evaluate whether our new formulas are winners or not.
If you want to have a voice in the new products we put out sign up today on our blog. For every product we put out we use 20 outside volunteers along with our in house volunteers. With every product we send out to our volunteers we send an evaluation form. In order to stay on the list we ask for a quick turn-around time on our evaluation forms. It is fun, free and gives you a voice in our product line. To join our panel please leave a comment and we will get in touch with you.
Keep signing up because we are looking for plenty of volunteers. We will only use 20 per product, but we launch hundreds of products per year.
