How to Care for Problem and Dry Skin
The Importance of Your Skin
Your skin is your body’s largest organ. It protects you from the elements. It is your first line of defense against pollution and environmental toxins. It acts as a secondary elimination system when your colon is not functioning optimally. And it is a wonderful means of introducing vitamins and nutrients into your body.
Your Polluted Body
In most cities, we only need to look up at the sky to see the dramatic increase in environmental pollution in the air we breathe. When you add to that the toxins in the water we drink, the food we eat, the carpet we walk on, the water coolers we drink from, and the buildings we work in, you can understand why the incidence of just about every disease is not only on the rise, but is also affecting our children at younger and younger ages.
We should, however, applaud ourselves for the great strides we have taken in reducing the toxic emissions from our vehicles and the amount of garbage going into our landfills. But have you ever stopped to think about the untold damage you do to your body by not being mindful of what you apply to your skin? You are just as important as Mother Earth!
We’ve already talked about how the skin can be used to introduce nutrients into the body. But what if you’re washing and caring for your skin with products that contain ingredients that are good for making the product last a long time on the shelf or making the product look really pretty in the bottle or making the product lather into a lot of suds on the skin…but are horrible for your skin and your body?
And what about your health? Those items are included to benefit the product, not you. If it were created to benefit you, it would contain ingredients that benefit your skin, your health, and your immune system.
Necessary Nutrients
It’s important that you understand that whatever you put on your body, goes in your body…for better or for worse…for sickness or for health. Some ingredients that you want to look for in your body care products are: Vitamin D, natural and organic ingredients, and replacements for the harsh chemicals that are used to create foam and suds in your body washes — something without parabens.
Vitamin D is essential for good health. It improves the eyes, teeth, skin, bones, and nails. It helps you maintain a healthy immune system. It may also help prevent the onset of multiple sclerosis. And it’s been shown to be beneficial for those who suffer from obesity and diabetes.
All this goes to show that when you use the right products (products that are natural, organic, and contain nutrients the body needs), you actually rejuvenate your cells!
Body Care Kit
So what should be in your body care kit so that you are doing your part to keep your skin toned and supple, healthy and youthful? You need a full regimen, with the right products. When you’re shopping, turn the bottle over and read the list of ingredients. Look for words you recognize — this is a good clue to it being good for your skin.
It’s also important that you purchase the full line of whichever product you choose. We often look at the groupings of products and presume that a lotion does the same thing as a butter, so we pick and choose which we will purchase, when, in fact, they all compliment each other. So if you want maximum results, use the full line of products and follow the directions.
I use the Soul Purpose line of body care products because quite simply, they are better than everything else I’ve tried, and I’ve tried a lot of name brands and home concoctions. They are one of the few brands that include organic ingredients, Vitamin D, and FDA approved antioxidants in their shower gels to help nourish and care for the skin. I use the Caribbean Ginger shower gel, body lotion, body custard, body balm, and solid scent perfume essence. The fragrance is very light — since there are no parabens in it — so layering helps to strengthen the scent so that it lasts all day.
These shower gels will not produce a lot of suds — which is what you want. After bathing, I follow up with the lotion on most of my body, the body balm on rough areas like elbows, knees, and feet, and the rich custard on my arms and any part of my body that will be exposed to the elements that day. I finish by applying the solid perfume essence on my pulse points. And remember, there’s no problem with wearing so many items because the scent is so light.
The Experience
The wonderful thing about these products, besides being made with your health and wellness in mind and them smelling so wonderful is the experience of using them. So often whether we are married or single, with children or solo, working or stay-at-home parents, we neglect our own self-care. So just from the time it takes you to have your shower or bath and apply these products you will feel more pampered and cared for.
Perhaps its the soothing aroma you smell from the moment you open the shower gel. To the wonderful way your skin feels as you apply the product to your skin. Or how soft and supple even dry, problem skin feels after applying the lotion, balm, and thick, rich body custard. Or maybe it is the complements both men and women receive from those they know and love (who have seen them everyday) to complete strangers on the street.
And on those days when you have a little more time, the same products you use everyday, can become an in-home spa treatment for you. Pour an ounce under running water and draw yourself a luxurious bath. Light a candle in the same wonderful fragrance of your body care products. Relax and allow the pure essential oils, antioxidants, and vitamins to soak into your skin and rejuvenate your cells. Dry off and take time to lovingly apply the lotion, balm, and custard to your skin. After that, any day you’ve had is better, and the fact that it did not cost you any additional money is like icing on the cake!
Product Information
The body care line comes in 6 fragrance choices. It includes a shower gel, body lotion, body custard (which is even richer than a souffle), body balm (smoother and less greasy than a body butter), solid perfume essence, and decorative votive candle.

Dealing with Hair Loss
It happens to the best of us. Life suddenly throws you a curve ball, then another one, and another one. The stress begins to mount, but you keep going. Eventually it begins to take its toll. One place that it generally strikes is your hair.
Whether you’re a man or a woman, no one likes the reality of hair loss. Rather than shaving your head (men) or wearing wigs (women), there are other options.
Men
Going Bald
Many men in their 30s and 40s experience male pattern baldness. It usually begins in the temple area and spreads to the crown region, leaving a rim of hair around the head.
This type of hair loss is caused by the follicles being over-sensitive to the male sex hormone testosterone. It shortens the growth phase of hair from years to just a few weeks. What this means is that the hair cannot even emerge from its follicle before being pushed out by a new hair growing below it.
A Solution
If you’re willing to do this faithfully for 2 months, most of you will see improvement.
You remedy the problem in two places: the liver and the hair follicle.
There is a product called FULL, which penetrates down through 8 layers of your skin and acts much like those plastic stoppers that parents put in electrical outlets when they child proof their homes. It prevents the testosterone from overwhelming the hair follicle, giving the hair an opportunity to return to its normal growth pattern.
It contains all natural ingredients and has a tiny bit of alcohol, which is used to open up the hair follicle to allow the other ingredients to penetrate. So you don’t have to worry that you’re putting harsh chemicals or toxins on your skin, because you’re not.
When you purchase it, buy 2 to 3 bottles so you can have enough on hand to use until you start to see results. Your results will depend upon the natural growth pattern of your hair. Some people have shorter growth cycles and will see results in 2 weeks, others have longer growth cycles and will need the full two months.
How to Use
Apply a dropper full to the area in the morning and another at night. It absorbs in really fast and it won’t leave the area sticky or greasy. You can use it in the morning just after you wash your hair, but dry your scalp first with a towel so it’s not too wet.
The second product that goes along with it is called HEPOL. It’s a liver supplement. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, every cell of your body depends upon your liver for support. Your liver needs glutathione. A healthy body makes it, some don’t make enough of it, and others stop making it when they approach 40. But your liver still needs it to function optimally. In fact, of the three internal antioxidants your body needs to be healthy, HEPOL contains two of them!
Buy the 3-pack so you have enough on hand to last along with the FULL. Take 2 to 4 tablets per day.
Remember to take before and after photos and send them to me; I love reading your testimonies and seeing your success!

Women
For women, if your hair loss is from tension in the temple area (from braiding or wearing wigs) or in other areas (from stress), you’ll find help in a new product called SOOTHE. In fact, one of my business partners just shared her results from using SOOTHE on a patch of baldness in her crown area:
These results are from 3 months of consistent, daily use. SOOTHE comes in a 2 oz. tube, so you can travel with it with no problems. The creator of SOOTHE grew up in the Caribbean; she used her knowledge of herbs and natural ingredients to create this product. It does contain a little bit of mineral oil, but it won’t make your hair greasy.
I also recommend taking HEPOL for the same reasons mentioned in the men’s section. It supports a healthy liver with 2 of the 3 known internal antioxidants that your body needs every day. You’ll notice that taking HEPOL will not only help your hair, but your entire body will benefit as well!
For those women who have had more severe follicle damage, order the same regimen that is listed above for the men (FULL and HEPOL). If you’re willing to do this faithfully for 2 to 3 months, most of you will achieve great results. And remember to send me your pictures!

5 Products for Optimal Health
When doing all the right things just isn’t enough:
You exercise, you eat right, you drink plenty of water, and you get a good night’s sleep. So why don’t you feel your best? Maybe you feel sluggish when you wake up in the morning. Perhaps you feel aches and pains in your joints or muscles. Or maybe you just don’t feel like yourself.
Go easy on yourself. It’s okay to need a little help. There is more pollution in our cities, more contaminants in the water we drink and bathe in, our food contains more chemicals than ever, and the list just goes on and on.
5 products that can help you feel like yourself again
- Pollen Burst – this is your energy first thing in the morning: It reduces your sugar cravings, it reduces inflammation, and it reduces stress. It has 187 micronutrients that are small enough to be absorbed by every cell and tissue in your body. It’s a little bit of everything your body needs to be healthy. Drink one of these per day. If you prefer capsules instead of liquid, choose Polbax. It’s the capsule form of Pollen Burst. For children, give them half a packet of Pollen Burst.
- Hepol – this is your daily liver cleanse and enzyme support to help rid your body of the toxins you eat, drink, breathe, and apply to your skin. Every cell of your body is supported by your liver. Many of the aches and pains you experience could be because your liver is sluggish. Adults take 2 tablets a day, children take 1-2. Remember, children are smaller so they get toxic faster than adults!
- Probacillus Plus – this is a HUMAN strain of the bacteria you need for a healthy gut, which means it’s the exact form that your body needs, not a plant or animal version. If you’re already taking acidophilus or bifidobacteria and you’re still not feeling your best, try this for 30 days, then switch back to what you were taking before, and let your body tell you which product it likes best.This will help reduce acne, asthma, bad breath, yeast and thrush infections, digestive upsets, bloating after meals, and maintain the proper balance of friendly bacteria in your GI tract.
- Omega – in two words: fish oils. This gives you your Omega-3 fatty acids (your body actually makes enough Omega 6 and Omega 9), EPA (Eicosapentaenoic), and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) that’s missing from most of our diets. It’s safe for all ages and there’s no fishy aftertaste. Deficiencies in fatty acids have been linked to: heart disease, cancer, arthritis, allergies, depression, neurological disorders, skin disorders, and immunological disorders.
- Super Daily – this is your daily vitamin. It gives you a large amount of the vitamins and nutrients your body needs most, including: Vitamins A, B1, B6, B12, C, D, E, and K, Folic Acid, Biotin, Niacin, Boron, Calcium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Phosphorus, Selenium, Zinc, Pantothenic Acid, Lutein, and many more.

Guilt-free Chocolate!
Sugar Free * Great For All Ages * All Natural
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CHOCOLATE!
TRU Chocolate may be the most healthy and tasty chocolate ever created. This delicious treat is ideal for the entire family.
It is a snack that can be enjoyed by almost anyone at anytime.
The benefits of eating TRU Chocolate are so tremendous that many call it the “GUILT FREE CHOCOLATE.”
It tastes so good and is so good for you that it is beyond the normal chocolate experience.
TRU CHOCOLATE:
- is rich in antioxidants and has an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) rating of 3,040 per piece! (Recommended ORAC consumption per day is at least 3,000 to 5,000 units).
- is infused with beneficial herbs which promote healthy blood sugar levels.
- kills harmful bacteria including the one that creates cavities.
- supports healthy weight management.
- contains ingredients believed to promote healthy, beautiful skin and healthy teeth.
THE MAGIC OF TRU CHOCOLATE:
TRU Chocolate is a functional food with a WOW factor! Most people say “WOW!” or “THAT IS SO COOL!” after eating a piece of TRU Chocolate and drinking 12 to 16 ounces of cold water afterward.
The WOW factor is why we call it the “MAGIC” chocolate drink, because most people can taste the “magic” chocolate flavor for as long as 30 minutes after eating a single piece of TRU Chocolate.
The “magic” chocolate taste comes from three special ingredients:
- Xylitol, a natural sweetener (loved by dentists), helps create the long-lasting chocolate taste.
- The Bioperine, a patented phytonutrient and natural thermonutrient, is a derivative of black pepper and enhances the perception of taste. Many people find that anything they eat or drink after eating TRU Chocolate will have enhanced flavor.
- The Fabenol, a derivative of lentils, helps increase the sensation of sweetness. It is also a natural carbohydrate blocker!
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Many people use TRU Chocolate to help them better manage their weight. When taken as directed below, many people feel it provides good support in slimming down (individual results may vary).
- Those who need to lose 40 POUNDS OR LESS: Eat 1 chocolate 10 minutes before each meal, 3 times a day, with 1 large glass of cold water.
- Those who need to lose 40 POUNDS OR MORE: Eat 2 chocolates 10 minutes before each meal, 3 times a day, with 2 large glasses of cold water. If you tend to snack late at night, eat 2 more chocolates before going to bed.
