AgLoc? NuSkin? Anyone know

12 Feb

Ok so here’s the deal. Had a friend in high school who entered the entertainment field and was in a television series for many years. Now he’s a Hollywood producer who got into an mlm called AgLoc which is an anti aging business that spun off of more commonly known NuSkin.

My friend, after many years of almost no contact, except for the back and forth of facebook, contacts me to get me involved in his new venture. He said he wants to share this business with me because it has awesome income potential, and because of my “vivacious” personality I’d be great at this business.

Now having come out of another anti-aging skin care mlm business and being a little burned and losing a lot of money in it, I have a slightly different attitude about it then the other 15 people he’s trying to pitch on the East coast. I tapped into all of my friends, and their friends, and so on and so on. Can I now approach those same people with this new product line? Or do I look foolish?

Ok, so now all of this being said, him being a friend, I can’t help but wonder if it may be a good opportunity? i realize he stands to benefit from my hard work…..but so do I. Everyone can use a little extra income.

I just want to ask if any of you have heard of this product and if so just share your thoughts with me. If you have been involved in this mlm what is your honest opinion? Can’t wait to hear from you. :)  Check this out, cool site.

Foods for skin-care and anti-aging

24 Jul

By: Michael Moshier

I’ve long been a proponent of anti-aging procedures from the inside out – it’s great that so many people are picking up on this idea and realizing that what they put in their body can have an effect on how they look. You can take this process as far as you want – talk to your doctor about testing certain hormone levels, about what vitamins you may be lacking, etc. – or simply tune in to what foods can work for you when it comes to anti-aging.

Certain foods help you reduce the amount of oil your skin produces, as well as help your skin no be too dry. These things can combine to help your skin look younger and more vibrant. Many of these foods may already be things you eat on a daily basis – antioxidant-rich berries and pomegranates, leafy vegetables, etc. But the truth is, the average person typically doesn’t eat enough of these types of food to make the difference you may be looking for.

Wheat grass is known to provide health benefits when it comes to cholesterol, possibly preventing cancer and helping to lower blood pressure. Barley is another food that may already be in your diet, and could just use a boost. It’s a great way to improve the digestive system as well as reduce blood sugar in the body.

If you do a bit of research, you may find other food that add to your anti-aging regimen and treat the issue of aging from the inside out.

The new eye cream…butter!

12 May

Well the idea of using butter as an eye cream in a pinch is not so new. Women in Ethiopia have been using butter as a beautifying agent for years. Ethiopian women have cherished pure organic butter for its skin smoothing capabilities.

Organic butter contain lactic acid which is an alpha hydroxy acid that draws water from the slower level of the skin into the top layer of the skin. This locks in the moisture and boosts cell production to keep skin looking healthy, refreshed and glowing.

Americas top models have used this method of eye cream when in a pinch and needing to freshen up. So next time you are out dining in a restaurant and feel an urge to freshen up, go to the restroom, and don’t forget the butter! ;)

Papaya and Pineapple = Cellulite and Wrinkle Free

12 May

Papaya and pineapple are both tropical fruits that has been known to get rid of wrinkles all together. They contain an enzyme called papain. Studies have been shown that prove that these two fruits can rid your face of wrinkles. Pineapple and papaya pickers have no fingerprints because the papain has smoothed their skin so much. 

Well now a new study shows that those same enzymes in those two fruits also help get rid of cellulite. In Bali, the women scoop out the papaya flesh from inside the fruit and rub the peel on jiggly thighs to tighten and smooth them. Papaya and pineapple share the same powerful enzyme that stimulates collagen production and slough off the top layer of dead skin cells to reveal softer, smoother firmer skin. Massaging the papains into the skins surface in circular motions enhances circulation, bringing hydrating blood flow to cellulite prone areas, plumping skin and reducing dimples. With repeated use, the fruits Vitamin C strengthens skin to further reduce cellulite.

If you want to whiten your nails, here’s a formula you can try:
Remedy 1: Use common whitening toothpaste. Scrub your nails with Pearl Drops. This will take away any stains and shine up your nails.

I wanna look 20 at 45

24 Mar

Arbonne International of Irvine, California REvolutionized the anti-aging skin care
market in 2003 with the introduction of NutriMinC® RE9. Its unique blend of 9 key, antiaging
elements in a patent-pending system was the first of its kind to address the “after”
affects of sun damage and aging with a REsult-oriented system of products.

Now, Arbonne
is REvolutionizing the anti-aging supplement market with the introduction of
NutriMinC® RE9 REsist Essential Fatty Acid Dietary Supplement in a groundbreaking
vegetarian capsule! “Arbonne is proud to be one of the first to offer a product
of this caliber in this new, vegetarian capsule technology. This technology allows us to offer
a cutting-edge product while keeping to our ‘no animal by-product’ formulation philosophy,”
says Arbonne’s Sr. V.P., Product Development and Marketing, Candace Keefe. Until now, the
only way to deliver encapsulated liquid supplements was through gelatin (animal source)
soft gels. Arbonne also sticks to its philosophy by providing an Essential Fatty Acid
Supplement from a non-animal source, standardized flaxseed oil, which offers 70%
omega-3 fatty acids, compared to 40-45% that is common in the marketplace.
Arbonne added this new supplement to its NutriMinC® RE9 anti-aging skin care line to
support nutrition for the skin … from within. The skin represents the body’s largest organ
and when your body is out of balance, skin is often the first place to show the effects.

That’s the science behind the design of NutriMinC® RE9 REsist … to combat the visual signs
of aging and protect overall health with the support of a simple, yet powerful supplement.
Because the body cannot produce EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) essential to our every day diet,
Arbonne created REsist which is rich in EFAs and supercharged antioxidants that are keen
to skin’s health. EFAs are beneficial internally as well as externally. EFAs can help support
cardiovascular health by assisting in the breakdown of cholesterol and triglycerides.*
Formulated with EFAs, including omega-3 fatty acids, this concentrated blend also includes
antioxidant vitamins A, C, E plus Alpha Lipoic Acid and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which help
with free radical protection.

“Everyone is talking about the benefit of EFAs to overall health … especially in relation to
fish oils. Let the fish keep swimming because now there’s NutriMinC® RE9 REsist in a
vegetarian capsule,” adds Keefe. Rest easier tonight knowing that you would have to
consume 4 ozs of salmon every day to equal the EFAs in a daily supply of Arbonne’s REsist
Essential Fatty Acid Dietary Supplement.
