Eyes are extremely important when making an impression, good or not so.  It has been said that when you meet a new person, 80 percent of the first impressions are made from how you look in the eye area.

Eyes are like magnets, attracting a huge portion of attention.  They are probably the most important part in bonding within the conversation.  Humans are the only species in primates who have white area around the colored part of the eye.  Eyes are excellent communicators, that tell the truth and only truth.  That’s why they are called the “Mirror of Soul.”

When I founded Creation’s Garden 20 years ago, most people thought that supplements were only for the natural fanatics, tree huggers, and extreme athletes.  This situation has certainly changed.  It has been documented that natural product sales and supplements totaled $23 billion in 2009.  Now it appears that supplement regimens are commonplace.  Although more consumers are taking supplements, there are still thousands of people that have never tried them.  It is amazing to me how many people don’t have a supplement program or only take them for mere curiosity.

Do you have the ugliest tattoo in town?  

Do you have a horrendous piece of ink,
defacing your flesh, you want to get rid of?

You know the one…it’s the one people are always asking exactly what it is…
“Is it a picture of a person?”  “Is that a plant?”  “Is that a lounge chair?”

Let’s face it, we all over-indulge during the holidays and our skin and bodies show and feel the effects of alcohol, fatty foods and too much sugar.  Your skin may look dull and dry, your energy level is flagging and you feel tired and run down.  That’s why we make so many resolutions to improve at the beginning of a new year.  Diet and exercise will help get back on track, but the toxins that have built up in our systems are there to thwart our best intentions; that’s where detoxifying comes in to help.  Many of us will fast and go on drastic programs to get the toxins out of our system, but there is an easier way to “clean-up” our insides.

We don’t generally wear the same clothes every day.  If we did, we might get anxious to change them once in a while.  Sometimes, people with tattoos feel like they’re stuck wearing the same clothes day after day.

When it’s time to make a change, look into all the options for tattoo removal.  Since tattoo ink is injected into the skin and encapsulated there, there are few practical choices.  Complete removal of the tattooed skin removes the ink with the skin but leaves an unacceptable scar and might require skin grafting (ouch).
