New Products and New Specials for the Month of June
Our product of the Month is our 12 new lipsticks. Receive 10% off all month on them as well.
Check out our 4 new shades of bronzers-Oahu, Hilo, Maui, and Honolulu
Also new is our Luminescence Specialty Concealer
Luminescence Specialty Concealer is a multi-purpose product but it is especially invaluable for those of us who have dark circles under and around our eyes.
Unlike our other concealers which are colored to counteract different skin discolorations like redness, Luminescence is specially formulated to counteract those deep dark shadows you get from lack of sleep or skin discolorations like age spots.
Luminescence is made with real powdered pearls and has a pearlescent sheen when applied, however it is not sparkly or glittery. Blends easily with and under your foundation to diffuse light and create a soft finished look. Can also be used as a finishing powder similar to a veil.
There are also 2 new colors in our eye shadows-Enchanted and Mint Julip.
Last but not least, we have added a new Consultant Kit-The Business Builder
Our New Business Builder Kit contains full size products for you plus a lot of samples to hand out.

summer activities for kids - free kids activities and childrens crafts for the summer
Summertime Activities
The kids are out of school and they have the long lazy days of July and August ahead. They could spend their summer days in front of the TV or your children could be using their imaginations to create projects that are a reflection of their own unique talents.
Does it matter what kids do on their summer vacation? After all, they are in school 10 months of the year and most do take some art classes. Don’t they get enough art classes in school?
Creative and artistic are not the same thing. Creativity is an approach to life. Creative thinkers know that problems have many different solutions. When they encounter an obstacle, they find a way around rather than giving up. They have to be willing to take risks as they learn new skills. These are important life skills that need to be encouraged in children.
Summer activities, childrens crafts and science projects give children the opportunity to learn and practice these skills. Even if they follow a project guide exactly, they will still to make decisions about shades of colors and where to place items. Once they are familiar with the project, most children will want to make it again. That is when they get really creative. First the colors change, then the shapes, and suddenly it is a new project from their own imagination.
Creative projects encourage children to find the resources to make what they want, rather than opening up a box that has all the supplies in one place. The first project in the weekly project list (see below) uses an old knee-hi or pair of pantyhose. What if none are available? Should the children wait until someone else finds all the ‘right’ materials. No, have them start thinking about what they could substitute. Would an old sock work? How about a dish cloth? It is fun to sit back and watch children solve their own problems.
These Summer Activities encourage children to work with a wide variety of materials. One of the best things about summer projects is that they can be done outside. Less mess to clean up!

Boost Your Metabalism Now!
Well I know I can answer yes to all the above.
But that's all changed for me. I tried yet another diet plan. But what makes this diet plan different then the others is that this plan actually educates you on reading ingredient labels, and tells you how to make healthy food choices.
I was surprised to learn that the choices I normally made for healthy food, weren't all that healthy. And eating food that aren't all that healthy for you lead to a sluggish metabolism.
And when your metabolism slows down your weight lose stops and you feel that lack of energy.
Ok! With that said, Do you wanna learn how I lost 5 pounds within the first week? How I noticed a great increase of energy in just a few days?
Well check out
http://www.WowYouAreReallyLucky.com
The Healthy Way To Lose Weight!
I joined the 6 week weight loss camp
Which includes
Educational CD's
Educational MP3 downloads
and a 6 week support system
This diet plan is great whether you have a little or a lot to lose.
And best of all there is a 100% satisfaction guarantee!
If you don't know a good carb from a bad carb, or are confused about fats and how they are healthy for you, give this plan a try.
Thanks everyone!
If you have any questions about this diet plan feel free to email me at kimmida123@aol.com

Making the Most of Reading with you child
•Choose a time and a place where you can be quiet and give your child lots of attention. Make the occasion a special one.
•Turn off any distractions such as the TV, music or the computer.
•When you are reading aloud, show your child that you are having fun!
•Involve your child. Let yourself be interrupted with questions; talk about what you think of the story and the pictures.
•When your child has started learning to read, follow the text and encourage him or her to point to the words as you go along.
•Establish a routine. Try to devote some time every day to reading.
•Take your child to your local library and involve him or her in choosing books.
•Notice what kinds of stories your child enjoys and look out for ones with similar themes.
•When you are reading aloud, praise your child for listening well and sitting still. When your child is learning to read to you, give praise and encouragement too, but be sure to gently correct your child when he or she makes mistakes.
•Help build your child's vocabulary and memory skills by supplementing reading sessions with audio books on car journeys and after meals or at bedtime. Audio books are especially helpful in building memory skills and supporting the learning of dyslexic and autistic children.
Sharing your child's journey into reading can be one of the most rewarding experiences of parenthood. You owe it to your child, and to yourself, to make it a priority in your daily life.

Earth Day
- Set your computer and monitor to sleep mode - Setting your computer to sleep mode takes only a few seconds, but can reduce electricity use by 87% compared to leaving it on (desktop computer). Modern computers are not damaged by frequent start up and shut down, and the surge of energy to start up the computer is very small relative to the energy used by leaving the computer on
- Drink tap water, not bottled - According to a New York Times article, Americans will throw out over 30 billion single serving bottles of water this year! If you are concerned about your tap water, use a filter on the faucet-a much more eco-friendly way of ensuring pure water
- Assess your business/household carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Set your own business/ household greenhouse gas reduction target at ClimateCare
