What is in a brand?
Last night I was flicking channels. As I did, I came across several skin product commercials. The more I watched the angrier I became.
The deception and sneaky marketing targeted at young adults, teens and aging women was blatant. It was all smoke and mirrors.
When it comes to skin and beauty products you really have to look beyond the brand and the flashy ads. The giant cosmetic companies spend millions on establishing their brand. They show you beautiful airbrushed models and hire big named Hollywood stars to endorse their products.
That is what is in their brand. Fluff and false beauty. Do you really think someone like Drew Barrymore really wears CoverGirl make-up? I highly doubt it.
The claims are equally outrageous. "Use our products and your acne will go away." You can substitute the word "acne" for "wrinkles," "blemishes," or "fine lines."
A little truth here ladies...acne and blemishes are related to what you are eating or not eating, how much sleep you are getting and how toxic the products you use every day are. No skin care product is going to "cure" your sleep habit or dietary problems. If you want acne to go away, eat nutritious food, drink lots of water and get enough sleep on a regular basis. Ditch high sugar beverages like soda and those wonderful flavored waters.
If you have wrinkles - news flash - you are aging. I have yet to see a product that stops you from getting older. You want less wrinkles - avoid long exposure to the sun, drink water and don't use harsh skin care products. Take good care of your body with an active fitness program and balanced nutrition.
Look behind the brand. The ingredients in the department store brands are doing more harm to your body than good. Just check out the Dirty Dozen (REFERENCING YOUR SITE HERE). There are carcinogens, irritants, and ingredients that cause birth defects in those products.
So, my advice to you, use the "big" brands sparingly. Shop the small boutique and hand made brands. These companies are much more likely to spend their dollars on high quality ingredients. A test of a good product is if you can read the label and pronounce all the ingredients listed.
A trustworthy brand is one which identifies which ingredients are organic and what percentage of the entire product is organic. You might not get a splashly label and their website might not be the most professional looking site. Most handcrafters are specialists in their product and not marketers or webdesigners.
Look behind the glitz for good ingredients. After all, only the product is what comes into contact with your skin. So next time you are looking for a good cleanser or a great lotion, skip the department store and go online. That is where you will find the best variety of non-toxic skin care products that are made with care by actual people who wear the products themselves.

National Donut Day
Put the donut down
Don't panic - just step carefully away from the doughnut.
Did you know that Dunkin Donuts Boston Creme donut has 280 calories. Almost half of them are from fat. You get 1/4 of your entire day's fat allowance in that one doughnut.
In addition you get 16 grams of sugar.
Combine that with a small coffee with cream and sugar and you now have 1/2 your day's fat allowance. Let's be real here - how many of you get the SMALL coffee?
Now I know just how good a doughnut can be. Today is national doughnut day so it is tempting to make the exception and have just one...
If you do break down and have one, make sure the rest of your day is squeaky clean. Eat at least two pieces of fruit, have a big salad and avoid soda.
Sometimes it is ok to cheat. If this is the only time during the year that you have a doughnut, you are probably a saint. If you are a regular doughnut eater, however, it is time to make a change.
Take our 500 pound gorilla challenge and get a buddy system to help take the fat off.
If you ate the donut, then you have to do the "time" now. Take the challenge and take off the weight!

Another Boring Day!
Are you starving for some excitement in your life? Does one day pretty much blend into the next with no real difference?
Do you spend hours idly watching TV or surfing the net?
You need a swift kick in the butt in a good way. You need someone to get you so excited about something that you can't wait to jump out of bed and start a new day.
You need a shot of energy that fuels you through your day and let's you blow away the hours.
You need me and I need you...or at least I need two of you!
If you are ready to make your days count, get your butt in gear and do some good in the world, and become supercharged, you need to email me.
I will let you in on an amazing project I am working on right now. One that has me thrilled to get out of bed and downright giddy. I have this stupid smile on my face as I write this.
I only want to work with two people on this project and I only want it to be you if you really want to make a difference in your life and a major impact on the world.
If you are saying "Yes! That's Me!" then send me an email at jprice7733@gmail.com and I will send you the details.
I can't stress enough that I only want you if you are ready to take "it on." Don't waste my time or yours if you are only mildly curious. If you're hungry, then let's do it. Send me an email now.

Online Health Coach - HELP WANTED
Become an online health coach and say goodbye to your day job.
You want a new career but can't afford to leave your current job. I completely understand the position you are in but you will be happy to know that there is a solution that you can start now and grow into a full time job later.
I know what it is like to not be able to afford to change careers. I know the frustration of not wanting to start over at square one.
You are looking for a job that is fulfilling. One that gives you joy while you are doing it and a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.
I would like to make the suggestion that you become an online health coach. This health coach job has passed my 8 POINT LITMUS TEST. If you haven't read about the criteria a new business must meet in order for you or I to consider it you need to subscribe to the free career selection series. It is free and will get you on the right path for choosing your new career.
So why should you become an online health coach? Because it is a career that you can start in your spare time on evenings and weekends. You can do all of your health coach training online at night. You can grow your business on the side until it becomes lucrative enough to allow you to leave your day job!
That is what you really want - isn't it? Freedom from your day job?
The benefits of an online health coach are
Obesity and smoking are two of the biggest health issues facing the world today. You can make an impact by coaching people on these two areas as well as any other health related issue. Your supply of customers is limited only by your ability to contact them.
So this sounds great, but can YOU really do this. Definitely! I am a health coach and if I can do it, you can do it. I am the person who always scores incredibly low on social skills on personality tests.
I have tried many home businesses in the past and never stuck with any of them long enough to make money.
How do you know you will be successful? Because you will have the right training. I highly recommend Health Coach Training for your education. The greatest benefit of this program is not only do you learn how to be a great health coach, you learn how to find clients and sell yourself.
If you are anything like me, selling is your greatest difficulty. Health Coach Training spends weeks on the selling process and also gives you a bonus course on selling yourself on CD. They provide everything including the exact wording to use in an email to prospects and how to find prospect.
Once a month they conduct a live call that you can send your prospects to that will do the selling for you. All you have to do is get your prospects to the call. Isn't that amazing?
What is involved in the Health Coach Training program?
The course is 12 month long and you "meet' twice a week. You learn through live calls with your instructor and several other classmates. These are not recorded calls. You get to interact and ask questions throughout.
You get access to a class website that is chock full of resources in addition to your class plan. If you miss a class, you can access the recording of it at this site too.
After the first few orientation classes, you are given a practice partner. You and your partner get to practice what you learn each week to give you a real taste of live coaching.
Unlike so many other programs, you are truly ready to work with clients upon graduation. In fact, most students start their business before they complete the courses. In my class, students were taking paid clients as early as month 3.
How much can you expect to earn?
You get to choose what you charge for your coaching services but here's an example. You could charge a client $50 per week which would include one 30 minute session over the phone and email follow-up throughout the week. You could require them to agree to a 3 month minimum contract.
So at 30-60 minutes per week (allowing for email time), how many clients could you take on with the time you have available to you? Now multiply that number times $50 and that is what you could be earning per week.
If you want to do group coaching, you could set a limit of 5 clients per session with each paying $25 per 30 minute session. How many group sessions could you do? Now multiply this by $125 and that is what you could be earning per week.
If you want to take it a step further, you could offer pre-recorded sessions on a particular topic and sell access to them at $15 per session. Now you have unlimited earning potential 24/7.
Are you starting to see the potential?
