The cost of membership

• Amazon Prime Membership: $139/year
• Sam’s Club Membership: $50/year

No thanks.
Did you know that for just $19 a year, I can choose American-made, natural products—sounds like a much better deal to me!

For the past 20 years, my family has been shopping at my favorite Online Shopping Club, and we’ve saved thousands by steering clear of big corporations like Amazon, Target, and Walmart. Instead, we proudly support a company that not only aligns with our values, but also allows us to earn by simply sharing with others. Plus, it prioritizes first responders and military families—something we deeply appreciate.

For me, every purchase feels like a meaningful choice, from supporting American-made goods to investing in businesses that give back to those who protect and serve our communities. That’s why every month, 20,000 to 40,000 new customers join in. It’s more than just shopping—it’s a movement. I’m proud of every family making the switch.

To me, this is how the average American breaks out of the system. You have to shop anyway—why not get paid for it?

My Online Shopping Club is the future of conscious consumerism, and I’m all in. Care to join me?

Feel free to contact me to learn more.

Natural disinfecting

Shop Club customer Bobbi E. shares something very useful for this time of the year…With four kids, when we go out someone is always getting sick. I thought I’d share my go-to for everyday messes and disinfecting Y
Yes- the disinfectant is food surface safe and kills 99.9% of listed bacteria and viruses. 
I love that it tells you the amount of time it takes to kill each pathogen 
This is the only EPA registered botanical disinfectant – so no harsh chemicals needed! Just spray it and walk away!𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙤𝙢 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙧, 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 – 𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙮 𝙖 𝙟𝙤𝙮𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣!

Skyrocketing debt?

After reading about the national debt skyrocketing,
I’m super curious: how many of my friends actually stick to a monthly budget or financial plan?
Be honest, who’s got their finances in check and who’s just winging it?
I would like to know.

Making the Holidays Healthy

Your Winter Wellness Arsenal

Now that you have some excellent ways to indulge your taste buds during the holidays, there’s still more to do! As beautiful as the season is, winter brings its own set of challenges. The holidays can be a time of increased illness, especially if you live somewhere with cold winters. While the CDC reports flu peaks between December and January, you don’t have to let seasonal concerns dampen your holiday spirit. We’ve got your back with a powerful lineup of wellness supporters to keep your spirits bright!

Activate: Your Family’s Immune Guardian

Our newest addition, Activate Immune Complex for Kids, joins the trusted Activate family in time for the holiday season. Whether at school, at the playground, on the bus, or at friends’ homes, children are exposed to many germs each day.

And during the holidays, family gatherings and other get-togethers increase the chances for exposure—for them and for you! Maintaining an effective immune system is even more critical this time of year!*

Activate Immune Complex for Kids provides critical nutrients to maintaining that immune strength. It includes a powerful blend of vitamins A, C, D, and E, as well as beta-glucan and zinc powered by Oligo. These ingredients help promote the adaptive immune system response, and the best part is that it all comes in a delicious sugar-free formula smart chew that kids love!*

“I got this for my youngest son, and he loves it,” says Maria, a shopping club Member. “He said they taste much better than the ones we had found in conventual stores. If I could give it 10 stars I would. This is a fun way for your child to increase their immunity.”

Good Zymes: Your Holiday Feast Friend

Let’s be honest—holiday indulgence is nearly inevitable. And when you eat something that won’t sit well with your gut, Good Zymes steps in. Good Zymes is a multi-enzyme digestive aid that delivers 18 different enzymes to help your gut safely and naturally break down gluten, proteins, fiber, dairy, and more. This will help you process everything from Grandma’s famous stuffing to those irresistible gingersnap cookies. Just one capsule before meals helps you enjoy the festivities without worry.*

“These work very well,” says shopping club Member Charlene. “The Good Zymes work for me with pancreas issues as well as others in my family with lactose and gluten issues. I have recommended them to lots of people since there is so much digestive issues with people now.”

A Clean Home Is a Happy Home

Spiced Apple Tough & Tender All-Purpose Cleaner

Transform your holiday cleaning routine into a sensory delight with our Spiced Apple Tough & Tender All-Purpose Cleaner and Sol-U-Mel 3-in-1 Cleaner. These limited-time offerings bring the warm, inviting scent of spiced apple to your cleaning routine—because who says maintaining a spotless home can’t feel festive? (And while you’re selecting these two great products, don’t forget to add Cranberry Spice Lemon Brite!)

Clear Defense: Your On-the-Go Protection

Getting together with family and friends means more shared moments, handshaking and hugging. And during the holiday season, that can also mean more chances to get sick. Keep Clear Defense Hand Sanitizer nearby as a quick way to help put the odds back in your favor! And with a combination of aloe vera, jojoba oil, and glycerin, it also keeps your hands moisturized!

But remember, although hand sanitizers are convenient and can inactivate the microbes on your hands, hand sanitizer doesn’t replace good old-fashioned handwashing! If your hands truly are dirty or greasy, use water and soap (like Sun Valley Mint & Herb Foaming Hand Soap, powered by Sol-U-Guard Botanical).

A Healthy Home Means Happy Holidays

Remember, the best gift you can give yourself and your loved ones is the gift of wellness. With all this preparation, it’s important that you don’t overlook one of the best ways to ensure you’re in peak condition for the holidays—taking your Peak Performance Pack! With the combined power of six core supplements, Peak Performance will help you maintain total-body health!

This holiday season, let the wellness Company help you craft a home that’s not just merry and bright, but clean, healthy, and truly memorable. Don’t let sniffles and stomachaches dampen your spirits.

From premium beef, coffee and chocolates to our immune-supporting supplements and holiday-inspired home cleaners, we’ve got everything you need to make this winter wonderful.

Time = Freedom.

Being self-employed or building a side business has many benefits for the right person:
– Flexible schedule
– Creative freedom
– Unlimited impact and income potential
– Personal growth opportunities
– Independence and autonomy
– Tax deduction advantages
– Pursuing personal passions
– Building a legacy

At the same time there are challenges … like having staff meetings with yourself.
In my experience, the benefits far outweigh any challenges. Just this past week a friend needed my support and I was able to make a choice to be there.

The benefits of being self-employed:
– Work from anywhere fitting my purpose around a personal choice.
– Being in-touch but out of reach as I decide on what gets priority at any particular moment
– Being in business for myself, but not by myself with colleagues with a common purpose who can cover for me.

What do you love about being self-employed? Or are you looking to build a PlanB side business into time freedom?

Make it a great Tuesday!

Just a Spray a Day

Keeps Hard Water Stains Away!

We covered a glass sheet with hard water. On the left we sprayed No Work 12x and on the right we just let the water dry. It’s easy to see how No Work 12x helps prevent soap scum and hard water buildup, so your shower stays sparkling day after day—with no scrubbing!

Pancakes that get you fiber

I made some scrambled eggs and pancakes for breakfast this morning.

I watch my carbs, so I made my special low carb/high fiber pancakes that I find to be nutritious and delicious. Since I love cinnamon, I made a cinnamon pancake for me.
To make my protein pancake I start with Proflex Vanilla Protein Shake and I to add extra fiber to it,. I use Fiberwise. I simply added a scoop of it. It’s great replacement for flour as well—if you’re making conventional pancakes. Anyway, ,y Protein plus fiber pancakes always come out fluffy and yummy!

Everyone needs fiber and Fiberwise gives me a simple way to add extra fiber in my diet. Two scoops of Fiberwise contains 16 grams of fiber. I used only one scoop this morning.

Plus, Fiberwise is great for baking and can be used just like flour! The container label offers all sorts of ways to incorporate it into your diet.
Fiberwisemakes it easy to be certain you’re getting enough fiber! After all, it is nature’s scrub brushes for your gastrointestinal tract!

What does the little “e” mean?

The tiny “e” symbol on products means the products meet strict European Beauty and Health Standards. Why is that important to know? Well, the European Beauty and Health Standard are known to be a safer, healthier standard with healthier people.

Here’s why that matters:
In Europe, more than 1,300 ingredients are “banned”. Yes, banned—over 1,300 ingredients—in personal care products because of health risks.
In the U.S.? Only 11 ingredients are banned. Shocking, right?

Even crazier—some companies actually create two versions of the same product: a safer, European-standard one and then a less-regulated version for the U.S.
It’s not about protecting us; it’s about their profits. I know this from Guyana. Coke and Pepsi even do this with their soda. I will drink it there, but not here!

I now look for products with the “e” label. They’re usually pricier, but, thankfully, I shop with a manufacturer that makes safe, high-quality products affordable around the Wellness Store. This isn’t just for the ladies—guys, your health matters too!
Switching to healthier, toxin-free options doesn’t have to break the bank.
If you’d like help making the change, I’ve got some tips to share!

Always check the labels

Cellulose is actually mulched wood turned into a powder and yes, it’s in the Parmesan cheese.
Buy a block of Parmesan cheese and grate your own.
