Super Green Smoothie Comin’ Your Way!

July 25th, 2008

Oh how I love my super green smoothies. While I don’t always have the time nor patience to make them, you can bet I have some form of smoothie every morning as I sit down to check on my Urilife business. Whether it be a quick mix of Urilife The Feast with Beyond Berries and water or a good ol’ fashioned smoothie such as the one I am about to mention.

All Hale The Kale

1/2 Pineapple
3 Kale Leaves
1 ripe Banana
4 fresh mint leaves
2-4 cups of water

1. Blend kale and water first. 2. Add remaining ingredients and there ya have it!

With plenty of nutrient dense ingredients, is it any wonder why I drink this just about every morning? Do you have a super green smoothie recipe? I’d love to hear it!

To True Optimal Health, One Smoothie at a Time!

Got Gas Pains???

June 13th, 2008

I don’t have to tell you that gas prices are close to $5 a gallon. With no end in sight it seems that these jaw dropping prices are taking a toll in every way possible. Families are now being forced to decide between putting food on their table for gas in their vehicle.

There are so many things we can do right now to battle this seemingly raging recession.  While the pinching pennies can start with your next trip to the grocery store, it does not mean you have to skimp on good, quality food!

I was astonished to find that the big box warehouse stores are thriving in this economy.  People are literally taking their rebate checks and stocking up on toilet paper, canned good and bulk products like crazy at theses places.

Thinking outside of the box, there has got to be a healthier way to save.  Since the price of gas is only going up, here are some ways to save some doe at the grocery store:

  1. Plan your meals. I don’t know about you, but the few times I am tempted to pull out a boxed meal or worse stop at the drive-thru are the times I failed to plan a meal for the night.  It takes a few extra minutes to pull something out of the freezer, but saves you 15% by making the meal yourself instead of buying it at a restaurant.
  2. Hit the Farmers Market. Not only will you be supporting your local farmers, but you can also save a ton on fresh, organic fruits and veggies….need I say more?
  3. Plant Your Own Garden.Why not plant your own fruits, veggies, and herbs?  Don’t have a green thumb, no problem!  There are tons of books you can barrow from the library or use google to do the dirty work.
  4. Shop Sales. Summer is always great time for holiday sales.  Keep your eyes open and cut coupons to save even more.
  5. Get Old Fashioned. Make your own food.  For instance, spaghetti sauce, beans, mac and cheese, oatmeal, bread and salsa.  Heck, your pancakes will still come out great without the mix!

Not to mention, patients with allergies should have a nebulizer handy when the house cleaning is in process and the window cleaning is being done or the carpet shampoo is nearby.  We are always going to pay for convenience in one way or the other.

Since paying outrageous amounts at the pump is inevitable, why not take a few extra steps to save on food, health, and wallets. Most families eat healthier at home than they would eating out.  Plus you know exactly what is going into you and your family’s body because you made it!

Cheers!

Dilemma: Taking Urilife on the Road

June 12th, 2008

I am about to embark on a milestone with my Urilife home based business. On Saturday, June 14, 2008 Urilife and I are taking the kids and hitting the road for a month long vacation back home. Yup you heard me right! A month, can you believe it? It still hasn’t set in that we will be gone that long…I’m sure it will once we are there!

Where is home you ask? Colorado! We plan on staying with family and friends, all of which are pretty spread out within the state. So there will be lots of people to see and places to visit. We are quite excited, it’s been almost two years since we sold our house and moved to Rhode Island. Two years of missing family, friends and mountains!

On to the dilemma, well I think I have it under control (KEYWORD: think). The summer months are hands down the best time for building a strong business. Why? Because most people don’t realize this. They get that summer bug up their butt, forget about their contacts, and all their hard work is lost.

No competition=The perfect opportunity for you!

I am not about to lose this perfect opportunity to grow, and I hope you don’t either. Since I am going to be gone an entire month, it’s not totally a vacation but I definitely don’t want to make it a business trip either. One again, I enter the “balancing act”. Luckily as a WAHM of a six year old and a two year old, this isn’t at all new to me.

In fact, it seems to be the story of my life:~) Here are some solutions I came up with to make my trip a bit easier as well as business friendly:

  1. Pack Light. Where ever ya go you’re bound to find a washer and dryer, no need to have a suitcase packed with 30 days worth of clothes. Besides you always manage to go home with more than you left with, at least I do anyway.
  2. Pack Wise. When traveling with kids always make sure you have your carry on packed to the max. Bring snacks, drinks, toys (preferably quiet toys) and anything else you can think of to occupy their little minds.
  3. Call ahead. Make sure your flight hasn’t been canceled for one, but they may also have a few tricks up their sleeves to making your flight enjoyable. I actually called to make sure someone from the airport can assist the kids and I on the plane. I’m as strong as any man, but carrying my 25lb boy, 30lb car seat, 20lb backpack all while holding my daughters hand without breaking a sweat is a bit much, don’t you think?
  4. Locate Your WIFI. If taking a laptop, make sure you identify all of your hot spots either before or after you arrive to your destination. Most phone companies now offer a wireless plan for about $50 a month, which of course is a tax write off.
  5. Locate A Computer. If you’re like me and have a hubby that won’t let you take the laptop, make sure you have a computer with Internet access where you will be staying. Isn’t it nice knowing you can build a business from any where in the world as long as you have a phone, computer and internet access?
  6. Set Alarms. If the only time you have to work is before the kids get up or after the kids go to bed, do it! At home I am up before the rest of the family so I can catch up on my emails, get my schedule ready for the day or just have some me time. Why not do the same while I’m away? I will be using my cell as my alarm clock as well as a reminder for any appointments I have.
  7. Eat Right. There’s nothing worse than going on vacation and gaining 10lbs. Make sure you don’t use your vacation as an excuse to eat lowzy. Yes the first meal I get will be a huge heaping green chili burrito but after that I will stick to my fruits, veggies, nuts and sprouts. Luckily The Feast comes in little packets so the kids and I can easily get our 5-9 fruits and veggies while running wild!
  8. Have FUN!!! Remember to respect your family time as much as your business time and they too will respect you and your business. Don’t get upset if you have to reschedule an appointment, no one is perfect. As much as I try, I rarely have it all together! That’s the best part about working from home, you don’t have to be perfect. Aren’t you relieved?

How do you handle keeping up with work deadlines and communications while you’re on the road? I’m all ears when it comes to suggestions or even better, solutions:smile:

Always and Forever,

Brandi
