A Great New Find

Since I am working on a new project, I decided I actually needed to used of the products I am promoting. When I met with my friend, she mentioned over 350 products that was developed to help families and the environment simultaneously. I, however, have to admit I was really excited when she showed me this little bottle of lotion. I love lotion, any lotion, but I really love the ones that work to combat my dry skin from the Utah climate. In the product description, the lotion she showed me mentioned that it helps to relieve severly, dry skin and issues related to eczema. I was intrigued because my son has had eczema for as long as I can remember, probably since 3. When he first started getting eczema, it was around the back of his legs. They were really red, cracked, and sore. At first I thought it was the just a rash from sweating behind the legs, but it never went away. When I took him in for his wellness check, I mentioned it to the doctor, who told me it was eczema. I had never heard of eczema before because living back east in the hot, humid air, my skin is always moist to the point of being sticky. So following doctor's advice and purchased every type of lotion he thought would work the best: Cetaphil, Eucerin, Aquaphor, Vaseline, Hydrocortisone etc, but nothing work. His eczema was so bad behind his leg that he was getting scars from itching them all the time. Sure, some of the products worked well in the beginning, but the itching would always come back after the lotion wore off. So this began our continuing saga of finding a product that would work to help with his eczema.


This may be too much information for many of you, but I also wanted to share with you what we have been battling for the last 2 months. My son has had what a few health professionals labeled a "severe rash" or "yeast infection" on his private area. We were told to purchase anti-fugal creams, hydrocortisone, vagasil, etc. to help get rid of the cracks and soreness, but nothing worked because after 30 minutes, the area would be itchy again. When he applied these over the counter products, it just affravated the situation more. I was beginning to question whether my child had bad hygiene habits and not taking enough showers. At our last doctor's visit, however, we were told he had an extreme case of eczema in the worst location. I was then told to put Aquaphor, Eucerin, or Cetaphil on it, thus beginning the same quest to find the right remedy. These lotions worked for a little while, but it was not long before the itchiness came back.

All these actions, however, changed in a 1.5 hour meeting with my friend who introduced me to a lotion, developed to help skin conditions related to eczema and psorias. I came home so excited to have him use it. I figured at this point, what would be the harm. After 24 hours of use, he told me tonight that his private area did not hurt and was "back to normal". He even asked me if I had anymore because he really likes it. I told him I only had a trial size, but would be getting some more on Monday, this time in a bigger bottle.

New Project For Me...

Okay...so it's really late and everyone is asleep, but I am having a difficult time getting my brain to shut off. If any of you have read my posts lately on FaceBook, you will all know that I am trying to look for a job which will also allow me to be a good parent to my kids. As I have looked throughout the internet, it is so crazy to see how many different sites there are for stay-at-home moms, promising the idea of riches. Most of them don't really supply any new information that I have not already heard or read for myself, but the ones that intrigued me were the ones that required me to send money away for this or that information. Now I realize that $9.95 is not a lot of money to most people, but if the 5 or so websites I am interested want $9.95, it adds up quick. I have learned in my, many failed attempts, that these company/people are just preying on my false hope of wanting the "dream". Nevertheless, I keep falling for the "hope" something will work out and I can help my husband with the financial stress of taking care of 5.

So my new project these days involves the Health and Wellness industry. I am trying to remove myself from using harmful chemicals in my house; from floor cleaners to what type of detergents I use on my kids clothes. It is really difficult to find a good, effective product that is not too expensive. Thanks to my friend, I have found that company; and it is not AmWay. The best part is I can make a commission by introducing these products to those individuals who also want to use an all natural product in their home. It is a perfect fit because before I am anything else I am a MOTHER, and I want to be around for my kids.
