Has This Happened to You?

August 27th, 2008

“People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within”~Elizabeth Kubler Ross

Have you ever thought you knew someone so well until all of a sudden when under pressure they CRACK revealing their not-so-pretty colors? After working at Craig Hospital for several years, I found myself witnessing this particular setting day in and day out.

It separated the strong from the weak, the experienced from the newbie. More over, it separated the nursing staff who were there caring for their patients because they had compassion to do so. Like owning a Urilife home based business, nursing is one specialty that must be led with heart and not greed.

We are all human, we will all crack at times. But those whom possess this light from within will shine in any given situation.

Your Friend,

3 Tips to Stop Kisses from Making YOU Fat!

August 18th, 2008

We all over indulge sometimes, but very few of us realize just how powerful proximity can be for promoting that overindulgence. When I worked at Craig Hospital, I swear I packed on 10lbs for each holiday. All of our patients would bring us chocolate kisses to show their gratitude. If you don’t know by now, if it’s in front of me, I’m eatin’ it!

Apparently I’m Not Alone

A study done at the University of Illinois using Hershey’s Kisses showed that when workers kept chocolate on their desk, they ate an average of nine per day. When the chocolate was moved just six feet away, they ate an average of four per day.

3 Tips to Stop Kisses From Making YOU Fat:

  1. You know the old saying, “Out of Sight, Out of Mind.” Well, go hide it so you aren’t tempted!
  2. Dump out the jar of candy, fill it with some raw nuts and make sure you have plenty of fruits and veggies in close proximity instead.
  3. When all else fails and you can’t rely on willpower, don’t bring chocolate into the house! No need to be ashamed, I can’t bring chocolate into my house unless is raw cocoa powder:~)

So where do you have your kisses hiding?

Love,

Brandi

Are You More Committed to Your Dreams or to Your Reality?

August 12th, 2008

Urilife

If there is one thing I’ve learned since starting my Urilife Home Based Business almost a year ago, it’s that you need to serve as a model of integrity by meaning what you say and saying what you mean.

If you want respect, you need to demonstrate to your team, family, friends and community that when you say you are going after your dreams, you mean it!

“Let go of the past and go for the future. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you imagined.” -Henry David Thoreau

The road to making your dreams come true starts with where you are now. Most people fail at making their dreams happen because they did not make an honest assessment of where they were and where they wanted to be. They allowed that inner voice to make them quit before they even got started.

Has this happened to you?

We all fall short at times, we are only human and aside from what some may think, not one of us is perfect! If you allow your self sabotaging ways to flood into your dreams soon that negative attitude, those beliefs and ultimately your fears will not only be your reality but it will also become your dream.

What is my dream, you ask?

I want to be the healthiest I have ever been. I want to share this passion with my family and friends and anyone else who will listen for that matter:~) I want to find the balance between raising my children and providing for them financially as well. I long to find a way to get out of debt and no longer allow our check book to dictate our fate for the month.

This is my dream and I am 100% committed to making it happen and guess what, it is happening! While it was difficult at first, my family and friends now see just how committed I am and they now support me in making this dream a reality!

Which are you more committed to, your dream or your reality?

If the answer is your dream, prove it. Demonstrate that you are serious about achieving your dream by taking action today!

See You at the Top!

Say Bye-Bye-Bye to Blemishes!

August 10th, 2008

Face it when it comes to blemishes you’ve got to really put up your dukes against the excess oil, redness, inflammation, and bacteria. In the midst of this race to the fountain of youth more and more people discover the many benefits antioxidants have on our skin and the pharmaceutical industry is cashing in big time.

Before you too go rushing out to buy the next big thing don’t forget the one time-honored natural source of antioxidants that seems to be over looked quite frequently:  Sea Buckthorn Berry.

Do NOT Under Estimate it’s Power

Sea-Buckthorn’s latin name is Hippophae Vhannoide  L., translated to mean “giving light to horse”. Refer-to its reputed power of curing blindness in horse-Who am I to dispute that one!  When Sea Buckthorn Berries aren’t curing horses from blindness they’re improving people’s skin, one blemish at a time.

Delivering A One-Five Punch!

This antioxidant punch has bacteria-killing disinfectants as well as antioxidants that soothe the skin, balance oil production and even reduce the inflammation of cystic acne, the most severe acne condition of all.

Next time you visit your Health Food Store, try looking for some Sea Buckthorn Oil and finally say bye-bye-bye to Blemishes!

Love,

Brandi

4 Symptoms NOT to be Taken Lightly

August 7th, 2008

While I consider myself pretty informed when it comes to Cancer, when my friend was recently diagnosed I was dumbfounded to say the least. Her Cancer not only took me by surprise, but also her doctors due to her age and her overall healthy lifestyle.

This form of Breast Cancer is apparently sweeping the nation, unfortunately going undetected most times. It is called Inflammatory Breast Cancer. One of the most aggressive forms of Breast Cancer, getting it’s name “inflammatory” by blocking the lymph vessels in the skin of the breast making it often look swollen and red, or “inflamed”.

4 Symptoms to Look For:

  1. Redness, swelling, and warmth in the breast, often without a distinct lump in the breast.
  2. The skin of the breast may also appear pink, reddish purple, or bruised.
  3. The skin may also have ridges or appear pitted, like the skin of an orange, which is caused by a buildup of fluid and edema in the breast.
  4. Heaviness, burning, aching, increase in size, tenderness, or a nipple that is inverted.

These symptoms usually develop quickly; over a period of weeks or months. Because Inflammatory Breast Cancer affects the lymph nodes, IBC may also present itself under the arm, above the collarbone, or in both places.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer tends to occur more frequently at a younger age and in African American women more than any other race. IBS is not only more likely to metastasized at the time of diagnosis, the survival rate is between 25-50%, which is significantly lower compared to other forms of cancer.

To find out more information

I encourage you to visit http://cancer.gov. Thank you to all those whom said a prayer for my dear friend during her surgery to remove this ugly Cancer. She made it through safely and will soon begin her chemotherapy treatment!

Stay Informed!

8 Ways to Keep Your Kids Moving During the Lazy Days of Summer

August 5th, 2008

Anyone who’s picked up a newspaper lately knows that America’s kids are waging the battle against the bulge like never before. Since the 1970’s the obesity rate has more than tripled for children aged 6-10. That’s more than 9 million kids! By the year 2010, it’s estimated that half of America’s children will be overweight.

We Are Literally In The Midst Of An Epidemic

This will obviously lead to a of myriad health problems for the next generation. Including heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes. What’s even more startling is the fact that these statistics indicate that the next generation of children will in all likelihood be the first to experience lower life expectancies than their parents.

What Are We Doing To Our Children?

While we can sit here and point fingers, blaming it on video games, too much TV, junk food in schools, and cut backs in physical education it all boils down to poor eating habits and lack of physical activity.

Summer is the time for fun in the sun, popsicles, lemonade, sleeping in and hanging out. But don’t let the heat get to your head, letting your children over-do it in the R&R department will definitely make for cranky, unfit children.

Here are 8 Ways to Keep Your Kids Moving:

  1. Put on a Talent Show. Let the kids practice their talent and put on a show for the neighbors.
  2. Soccer Bowling. Set up 10 empty soda cans or plastic bottles in a triangle in a level section of your yard. Give each child three tries to knock down as many “pins” as possible by kicking an inflated ball at them.
  3. Jump Rope. This is fun for one child or a group of children. Learn a few songs and games to play for group jump roping and try to see how many jumps each person can make before making a mistake.
  4. Puddle Jumping. Nothing is more fun than getting to play outside when it’s raining. Summer rainstorms don’t always man you have to head inside, put on your bathing suit and rain boots and stomp in the puddles!
  5. Go for a Hike, Walk or Bike Ride. This is a great activity to beat the summer time boredom. Drink plenty of Urilife The Feast and enjoy some exercise.
  6. Scavenger Hunt. Create a list of 20 or more things that can be found naturally outside in your area: pine cones, specific flowers, nuts, household items and out door items.
  7. Set up an Obstacle Course. Turn your backyard into an amazing obstacle course. Let the kids create a course from toys, bikes, and other things found in the yard.
  8. Water Games. Let the kids run through the sprinklers, wad in a kiddie pool, spray each other with the hose or play with a bucket full of water and plastic cups.

To Fit and Happy Kids!

Recognizing our Dependencies

August 1st, 2008

Last September, Bill Maher was very vocal about how our food and water supply are deteriorating. He also made note of the increase of sickness and disease along with the rise in pharmaceutical use. In a comedic way, this video can help us recognize our dependencies on the pharmaceutical drug companies and hopefully give us that extra push to make an effort and break free by changing our diets and ultimately our lifestyles.

On the other hand, drugs like hoodia and cialis are available online but except for phentermine and viagra, majority does not have a strong line of action.

Be the Change!
