Good morning! How was your weekend? Did you do anything special for Easter? I went to an Easter service with my mom. Leroy had to work until 6 am Easter morning so we weren't really able to do much. I did make our first little Easter dinner! It was very much an amateur dinner...but it's the thought that counts, right!? :)
While I was on my way home from school last week, I got the cutest call from my husband! He was calling to tell me how AMAZED he was with Shaklee! We recently bought a used truck so he's been obsessed with constantly cleaning it. He even took pictures to show me the before and afters! He sounded so happy! Haha!
He washed his truck before and these were just some spots that needed a little extra attention.
Here's the before of the window button (I have no clue what the "real" name of this is!!)
After!
This is his passenger door. It had grime on it from being used constantly.
After:
This is his front bumper. It was stained with oxidation.
Rear view mirror
...and my favorite one...!!
He had paint splatters on the side of his truck
Here's a close up!
Leroy was so surprised that it got all the paint off but didn't damage his truck's paint job!
I really can't say enough about Shaklee's Scour Off! People think I'm crazy when I tell them something made from cherry pits works this well! That is, until they try it for themselves!
As I mentioned before, I am now a Shaklee Gold Ambassador! I recently received my distributor kit and I wanted to share with you everything that was in it!
I was pretty shocked with the amount of products I got! I got just about a little bit of everything!
I received a bottle of the NutriFeron, Women's Vitalizer, and Vivix!
I'm probably the most excited about these products!
NutriFeron is a powerful breakthrough in immune system science!!
A Shaklee exclusive, NutriFeron is a patented, clinically proven blend of immune-strengthening plant extracts. When used daily, it increases the production of your body’s natural interferon, a critical activator of the immune system. NutriFeron works at the cellular level, by rapidly activating your immune system’s defenses.
I may save these until the cooler weather comes when our immune systems need a little pick me up! I haven't quite decided yet.
Exclusive patented formula providing our highest level of daily immune
protection*
The only supplement created by the discoverer of interferon
Naturally increases levels of interferon*
Supported by 4 human clinical studies
Contains MACH*, a patented blend of interferon-boosting plant extracts (500

Created by the Discoverer of Interferon
World-renowned
immunologist Dr. Yasuhiko Kojima first discovered interferon in 1954, while he
was conducting research at Tokyo University. After 40 years of painstaking
research, testing hundreds of natural compounds, he developed a unique blend of
four powerful plant extracts that boosts the body’s natural production of
interferon.* Naturally Increases Levels of Interferon*

medical communities have identified interferon as critical to healthy immune
function. NutriFeron is the only dietary supplement in the U.S. created by the
discoverer of interferon that naturally increases the production of interferon

Vivix was the last part of the Healthy Nutrition
Vivix is a scientifically advanced liquid dietary supplement with key
ingredients that have been shown to Slow Aging at the Cellular Level™*
Key ingredients in Vivix have been shown in a clinical study and numerous
laboratory studies to improve cell defense, cell energy, cell repair, and cell
performance*
Delivers a broad spectrum of over 15 polyphenols—including ellagitannins,
one of nature’s most potent antioxidants*
Ingredients that are 10X more powerful than resveratrol alone in slowing a
key mechanism of cellular aging*
All natural—no artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors, or preservatives
Patent pending and exclusive to Shaklee
Take 1 teaspoon a day. Everyday. With meal. Shake well
before use. Keep refrigerated.
Factors such as stress, poor diet, and environmental toxins can weaken cells’
natural defenses, lower cell energy, damage DNA , and decrease cell
performance—all of which can contribute to cellular aging. Studies show Vivix®
ingredients positively impact four key mechanisms of aging at the cellular
level.
1. Cell Defense
In a clinical study, Vivix key ingredients were shown to blunt the
biological stress response, which, over time, can lead to cellular
aging.*†
2. Cell Energy
In a laboratory study, Vivix key ingredients were shown to increase energy
production at the cellular level, which is known to decline as we age.*
3. Cell Repair
In laboratory studies, Vivix key ingredients were shown to protect and
repair DNA, which is assaulted millions of times every day.* These assaults can
damage the cell’s DNA, creating a “typo” that may compromise cell function and
longevity.
4. Cell Performance
In laboratory studies, Vivix key ingredients activated a genetic regulator
that helps improve cellular performance and slows the formation of damaging AGE
proteins, which can accumulate and result in cell damage.*
† Study name: A Resveratrol and Polyphenol Preparation
Suppresses Oxidative and Inflammatory Response to a High-Fat, High-Carbohydrate
Meal. Date published: February 2, 2011.
Muscadine grapes are one of most potent fruits with a unique polyphenol
profile that offers a number of health benefits. Unlike other grapes, muscadine
grapes boast superior concentrations of ellagitanins that, when combined with
other muscadine grape polyphenols, yield immense antioxidant power.
Resveratrol
A natural antioxidant compound found in some plants, seeds, and fruits,
including grapes and grape-derived products such as red wine. Resveratrol is a
polyphenol that has been found to potentially improve health and well-being in
laboratory studies from around the
globe.
Vivix says you will live 25 years longer AND look 25 years younger! Um, yes please. How fast can I sign up?!
Here's TONS of Vivix testimonies! I took Vivix for the first time today (it tastes really good!) and I can't wait to see how I'm feeling in a week!
Now, here's a few Cinch products from the Healthy Weight line!
First, we have the Cinch Snack Bars. Yep, that box is opened...I'm a fatty and I ate one right away. :)
I got the assortment box that had 4 Chocolate Decadence bars, 3 Peanut Butter Crunch bars, and 3 Lemon Cranberry
bars.
They're all really good but the Lemon Cranberry is my favorite!
Chocolate Decadence? Peanut Butter Crunch? Lemon Cranberry? There's no wrong
answer. Because whichever one you pull out of the box has Leucine to help you
keep muscle and protein to keep you feeling full. And that helps make sticking
to the plan a "cinch". Unlike deciding which flavor to treat yourself with
today.
Energy Tea Mix gives you a quick energy boost anytime you need it and can help you feel more alert, too. The Shaklee proprietary triple tea blend, T-Lift, includes Matcha,a premium green tea used in Japanese tea ceremonies, rooibos red tea from South Africa, as well as white and green tea extracts. Cinch tea also delivers potent antioxidant compounds that naturally occur in tea leaves. Whether you drink it hot or cold, it’s the natural way to boost energy as you lose inches.
Cinch shakes are a quick and healthy answer to "What's
for breakfast?" or "What's for lunch?" Cinch shakes are a
great-tasting, nutritious way to help retain that all-important muscle and keep
you feeling full and satisfied while you lose weight. Our proprietary formula
is powered by Leucine, the amino acid that signals the body to preserve muscle
during weigh loss. In other works, the leucine in Cinch shakes helps you keep
muscle so you lose fat. Each time you drink a Cinch shake, you get 4 grams of
protein. And that’s important. Why? Because protein is used to build muscle,
and muscle is what keeps your metabolism up and burns calories. Protein-rich
foods also hold off hunger, which can help reduce between meal snacking. And
let’s not forget about that muscle-sparing leucine and essential nutrients your
body needs. Look for our many great-tasting shake recipes on CinchWellness.com
I got both vanilla and chocolate flavors. The vanilla is really good, but I'm not too crazy about the chocolate.
The third line is the Healthy Home line.
I already use all of the things Shaklee sent me but I'm so excited I got even more! This products are AMAZING-they work so well and they're CHEAP!
Use this powerful two-for-one concentrate to prespot and wash your laundry. It
doesn't just outperform leading detergents- it also out-removes big-name spot
removers. And it does it while protecting natural resources. How's that for a
breath of fresh laundry.
I love this stuff! If I need to get a stain out, I just rub a little bit of the concentrate on the stain and let it sit for a few minutes, then just throw it in the washer. It's awesome and works way better than Shout or any other stain remover. And a little goes a looong way!
Babies. Grass. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Some really nice things can cause some
really nasty stains. Some really nice things can also get them out. Instead
of chlorine, natural enzymes and active oxygen in Nature Bright re-brighten
laundry, de-stain upholstery and way more. Nice.
I love this stuff! I put a scoop in all my laundry but I especially love it for whites. I get fresh bright whites without having that gross chlorine smell!
I also use this if I'm shampooing my carpets or couch. It brightens and whitens!!! It's completely chemical free which I love and it gets the job done!
Nothings more inherently good than soft, fresh bed sheets. Except, maybe these
innovative dryer sheets. They're veggie-based. They're biodegradable. And they
even split in two in the dryer for fair and just distribution of soft,
static-free goodness to every, last humble pillowcase.
I love these too! They make everything so soft and smell fresh! Sometimes I just use half a sheet and it works just fine. My husband even commented on how good the laundry smelled! Which was totally random, coming from him! They're fragrance free but the laundry comes out smelling so fresh!
With Dish Wash Automatic Concentrate you’ll never have to wash a dish before you
put it in the dishwasher or use earth-adverse chemicals to get your dishes
clean. This patented, super-concentrated formula lets you use just a little for
a whole load of sparkling dishes.
Most of the time I use less than the 1 scoop the package recommends and it still works great! I love the fact that chemicals and bleach are not on the dishes my family eats off!
This stuff is the BEST! You can literally clean ANY washable surface with Basic H!! I use it to clean counters, cabinets, washing cars, shampooing furniture/carpet! I know people who use it to clean driveways and power wash their house too!!
With this one little 16 oz bottle, it will make 48 gallons of of super-safe, really powerful, all purpose cleaner.
Here's some mixing instructions
For all-purpose cleaning:
Add 1/4 tsp. to 16 oz. of water.
For
windows and mirrors:
Add 1-2 drops to 16 oz. of water.
For
degreasing:

1 gallon of water.
Kills odor-causing bacteria found on hard,non-porous household, kitchen, and
bathroom surfaces. Great for cleaning around the toilet. Leaves your bathroom
and kitchen fresh and clean. The smart way to clean and disinfect.
This patented skin-activated formula contains high levels of bio-pure
vitamins C (10%) and E (5%) to instantly soften the skin and reverse the visible
signs of aging while you sleep. With continued use, skin appears transformed as
it recaptures youthful firmness and luminosity. Exclusive non-irritating
formula.
The creamy emulsion of this rich cleanser lays the foundation for your beauty
regimen, dissolving dirt, pollutants, and makeup without disturbing your skin's
natural oils. Its hypoallergenic, soap-free, pH-balanced formula contains extra
skin-softening vitamin E and other rich emollients. And triple-patented Vital
Repair® to neutralize free radicals and protect against prematurely older-looking
skin.
The result is smooth, balanced, glowing skin with a brighter tone.
Combining advanced technology, exclusive botanical humectants, and intensive
levels of Vital Repair+®, our Hydrating Moisturizer is an oil-free
emollient-rich, hypo-allergenic cream. This fast-acting and long-lasting 24-hour
moisturizer helps prevent dehydration-induced environmental
damage.

We Guarentee Utmost Effectiveness
Plenty of companies claim their products work. But at Shaklee, we have proof. You see it in the over 100 scientific papers, 90 of them published in peer-reviewed journals, that prove the effectiveness of Shaklee products. You see it in the over $250 million invested in clinical testing, research, and development. And you see it in the 2007 Landmark Study conducted in collaboration with researchers from the U.C. Berkeley School of Public Health that showed that people who took Shaklee supplements had markedly better health than those who took other brands of multivitamins.
And the most enlightening proof of all is in the millions of real people who have lived healthier, more productive lives because of Shaklee. Before any Shaklee product reaches your hand, we’ve done the hard work to make sure it does what we say it does.

In the last year alone, we have recycled over 1,000,000 pounds of cardboard, eliminated over 10,200,000 pounds of packaging waste, and eliminated over 23,000,000 pounds of greenhouse gases. That’s how committed we are to making truly sustainable natural products that respect the earth.

Shaklee has planted nearly 800,000 trees for its Million Trees. Million Dreams.™ campaign in partnership with The Green Belt Movement, founded by 2004 Nobel Peace Laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai.
