Great Book I Read..... Book Review

Posted by Chef Linda on May 15, 2013 at 11:30 PM Comments comments (1)

This is a great read.... It is much more then just about money...


Give Me Money! (unabridged) Audio CD  Review

 

By Made for Success

 

 



Some of you might know that I have been under the weather and I have been catching up on reading. All is well. So I will be doing some book reviews, and different reviews on products, with recipes. Try to get some more videos out as well.


Okay, about the book. I read this book and feel the need to write a review on it. I think the title kind of says it all what most people want, but for you sceptics it has some really valuable personal and business information. More then just about getting money,or a get rich quick scam, but it is mostly about personal growth. I personally think the title doesn't do it just, because it is so much more than about money.


I am a business owner and practice the Law of Attraction philosophy. I wanted to find something for my local Mastermind group that would inspire, give them valuable information, and teach them techniques on how to get ahead in a down economy either with their business and/or their personal lives. Well, this Audio Book did it. This audio is marketed towards CEO's, but you don't have to be a business owner, or a CEO of a big corporation to need this information.


This is a Audio book so if you are like me and don't have time to read I recommend this book. It is a must have! I did my reviews on Amazon as well. It includes 9 famous speakers/authors. So, it is really 9 books in one. We worth every penny. I listened to it twice and have a note book of notes.


I have to agree with what the description says in this Audio program. “In order to reach your moneymaking goals and get all the satisfaction you deserve, you've got to start with the proper mind-set. Once you have your attitude in place, the numbers associated with wealth become academic. This concept is the core wisdom of the nine choice speakers and authors in this special program. Each expert has devoted time and attention to the topic of wealth generation and will offer various perspectives with step-by-step instructions on how to be rich. So if you want the answer to the question ''How can I become a millionaire?'' invest in this audio guide and get started on your wealth-building program today.”


Just loved lisening to Jack Canfield, T Harv Eker, Loral Langemeier, Coach Carl Logrecco, and many more on this Audio book. They all were great speekers. I will recommend this to all that want great business advice, great financial advice, and to all my Mastermind and Law of Attraction friends, it is worth every penny. I have a notebook of notes. I think besides every business CEO or Manager reading it. It should be even the ordinary regular people such as a house wife, should read it.  It is for everyone that wants to make something out of their life should get this audio book.  


Add comments to what you think.

Here is the link to the audio book below. As I said it is well worth it!

Month 1 -To the Formula to Being Younger

Month 1 -

To the Formula to Being Younger


I said that I would post my results and any information in regards to my earlier blog on with the formula "Do You Want to Feel and Look Younger"  is doing to my skin and if I am feeling younger.

I am not noticing much energy change but my skin is flawless. I have had some skin issues have almost disappeared. I have added one thing in addition to the posted formula. I am now using vitamin E oil on my face and skin issue areas every night, especially around my eyes. Which I had fine lines starting and have been using very expensive creams to get rid of but am finding I might not need them.  I have been taking faithfully the new vitamin formula that are listed in the "Do You Want to Feel and Look Younger" blog. I have seen that I do not need as much face creams. I have even less lines around my eyes and my skin is looking flawless. Any puffiness, dark spots, and even fine lines are diminishing. Therefore, I am noticing just in a little over four weeks results. I think by me eating healthy, getting exercise regularly, and now adding these extra vitamins I am looking younger in just a month. My hair and nails look healthier too. I haven’t noticed much on memory yet. We are hoping.

Why Vitamin E? Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and prevent cellular damage from occurring. Vitamin E is one of the most powerful antioxidants, but your body cannot produce it, which means you have to make sure you're getting enough of this valuable nutrient in your diet and on your skin.

 

I found it somewhat funny to put Pharmaceutical Grade of Vitamin E on my skin because it is just salad dressing to me. It is made up oils such as sunflower oil, corn oil, and olive oil, maybe a few more oils but these are what comes to mind. In addition, to putting this on my face everynight, I eat things that are high in Vitamin E as well, such as avocado, which is good for your skin on the outside.  too. Just mash it and use it as a mask on your skin. However,I rather eat it and use the oil on my skin. Other high vitamin E foods are almonds,hazelnuts, peanuts, sweet potatoes, mango, apples, asparagus, turnips, spinach,and tomatoes. Wow! I found out that this Vitamin has many benefits. Look below

 


Thekey to getting enough vitamin E on your face and eating a balanced diet that includes a mixture of fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Check out the blog link with the formula to healthier skin and feeling younger. Blog Link


I love your feedback - Please let me know if this is working for you

 


Do you want to fell and look younger?

Posted by Chef Linda on May 3, 2012 at 12:35 AM Comments comments (2)

Ladies Are You Are Seeking the following:

  • more energy
  • sharper mind and better memory
  • more restful sleep
  • healthier blood pressure
  • shinier hair and younger-looking skin help with skin problem area's
  • balance your weight


Here is a formula to being younger

I have been doing some serious research on how I can come up with a youthful formula that is affordable for everyone. I truly believe besides buying a great beauty cream (keeping moisturized which is a big key), buying just a multi vitamin, and besides using produce on your face (such as avocado, fresh cucumbers) to help with aging skin process that you need to start from the inside. Plus, I want something more than just a younger looking face. I want to look and feel younger, have better memory and I want my mind to be more alert too.


My main goal is to find supplements that are not sold by another MLM Company! I want to do it myself and buy it at a regular store, but cheaper,and help others do it as well. So that is why I am writing this blog.


I know I can make any formula myself if they can do it, then so can I. I can buy the ingredients, but the main thing is not only the cost, but also feeling healthy, but I want seeing the results on my face and mind. Yes, I want the best of both worlds. Just go back 15 years is all. For a fraction of the price that you would pay companies like Juvenon (Dr. Ames, who founded Juvenon even told people they could buy this cheaper at Wal-Mart) or maybe other companies beside Wal-Mart  you might find these productsat a Online drug stores such as VitaCost.com even cheaper. I am not saying anything bad about Juvenon their product is good and has good reviews, but I need to be able to afford it and I know other women need this as well. I also look at shopping at large warehouse clubs, like Costco and Sam's Club.


I have been try these products for about two months and I will continue to try it, and post my results. I am all about eating healthy and that shows already on my skin and my over all heath and body. In addition, I use Jafra skin care products, which I find, are one of the best skin for the money. Yeah, a nice plug for Jafra. No, I do not sell it, but I do recommend it. I also, love going through places like Sephora when they have big sales on skin care products, or even going to the local CVS and buying regular products with coupons is my all time favorite or even Amazon.


Now that I am getting older, I need even more brainpower, so I am going to try to see if supplements will help. I figure it can't hurt. I will be using supplements that will not break the bank with purchasing a miracle pill or product from some MLM that cost me $1000 a year when I can take maybe 3 to 4 pills or less (because some of these I can find combined in your Multi Vitamin that I am already taking), this might cost cost me addtionally $300 a year and look and feel 15 years younger. If I was to go through a MLM it would cost me about $3,000 a year in addtion to want I am already doing.


I am already doing anti aging with food being on a Mediterranean Alkaline diet for over 16 year, which as kept me cancer free for that long. I believe, and many of my  Dr believes when your Ph levels are balanced you are not as likely to have disease, and I believe that this diet has kept my cancer away. This diet has not only has helped me, but has helped several of my customers fight off cancer. I will post more about this diet later.


In addition, to my diet, I meditating regularly, and exercise regularly. Very important taking care of yourself and getting enough sleep is a must. Therefore, I will be adding this formula in my blog to my life now and will keep you posted on what's happening. I do not think you will see much improvement on the outside because my skin looks good already with my diet and skincare products that I use (Jafra and putting natural produce on my face). I do have some fine lines around my eyes that I will be watching. What do you expect for being in your fourties. I have skin problems in some area's that should clear up too and already have improved. I do not need much more skincare, but this is preventive care mainly. In addition, to the skincare I need the brainpower more. :D


Are You Are Seeking:

  • more energy
  • sharper mind and better memory
  • more restful sleep
  • healthier blood pressure
  • shinier hair and younger-looking skin
  • skin problems vanish


Here is My Formula:

A list of what you need to buy separately or combined


If you need any of those things listed then you might want to try this formula with a good multi vitamin:


  1. 1000mg of acetyl L-carnitine HCI $11.99(2 month Supply)
  2. 300mg of alpha lipoic acid (note Dr says no more than 400 mg or harmful) $7.99 (4 Months)
  3. 300mcg biotin (is included with my Multi Vitamin)
  4. 154 mg calcium (I already have inmy Multi Vitamin)
  5. 117 mg phosphorus (I already havein my Multi Vitamin)
  6. 1000 mg Omega3 (Fish or Flaxseed Oil tablets) to 1000 mg (for the skin, brain, and heart)
  7. Protein Shake ( PureProtein) That has additional protein powder to keep weight off but alsofeed your muscles and gives you the extra Amino Acids needed for energy and addtional calcium that us ladies need. Cost $17.98 (30 Day Supply)   
  8. Healthy Mediterranean Alkaline Diet (I am working on blog)

       

I like taking probiatics occasionally too (to keep promoting healthy bacteria/microorganisms) Which help digestion andurinary problems. Yogurt have this in it naturally.

 

Okay, I am not guaranteeing this works. This is just what I have found from my research. So, if you would like to try it with me. Please answer my blog…

Please post your comments...

Is it working for you ????


I ask that you please do not post anything from a MLM company. I am not promoting selling of any MLM products. Just want to put addtional information out there to help people find affordable options. If you post I will delete your comments and account.


I do not have anything agains MLM companies. I use Isagenix and have used other MLM products. I  think they are wonderful products, but have found that I can't (many of my friends can't) afford them. They will say that you only pay a couple dollars a day, but I can get it down to pennies a day.

 


 

Healthy Snacks for Everybody

Posted by Chef Linda on January 25, 2012 at 5:15 PM Comments comments (1)

Healthy Snacks for Everybody

These recipes are practically the Holy Grail of acceptable school snacks—suitable for the "allergy classrooms" at your child's school: no meat, no wheat, no dairy, no berries, no nuts. If only you'd found them sooner!

 


Safe Healthy Snacks

 

• Oatmeal Crisps recipe —Flourless, crunchy oatmeal cookies with a little bit of chocolate thrown in for good measure. If you are looking for a dairy-free cookie, you can omit the chips or seek out chocolate that has no milk solids and finely chop.

 

• Sunflower Seed Butter Cookies recipe —Perfect for kids (or anyone) who is allergic to peanut butter. Just check the label to be certain the sunflower seed butter wasn't processed in a plant that also processes peanuts. These are also gluten-free.

 

• Corn and Coconut Muffins recipe —Coconut takes the place of flour in the lightly sweetened muffins, while

buttermilk keeps them nice and tender. Angel flake coconut is what you'll typically find on the supermarket shelf-no need for a trip to the health food store. These will freeze successfully; wrap well and keep frozen up to 3 months.

 

• Snack Mix recipe — This savory take on a classic makes a great classroom snack. If you know your audience and that like things a little spicy, add a touch of chili powder or cayenne to the mix before baking.

 

• Fruit Power Bar recipe —The jury is out about oatmeal and gluten, although it seems that most people who are gluten-intolerant can handle oats. But if oats cause a problem these bars are for you. Quinoa flakes are gluten-free in addition to containing a fair amount of protein. Look for quinoa flakes in health food stores and some specialty shops.

Southern Carrot Spoon Cake

This cake is so moist that you have to leave it in the pan and spoon it out. This is not the prettiest cake, but the best tasting. You can manage to get it out of the pan to decorate it if you put parchment paper on the bottom of the cake pan (grease the paper and the pan) before pouring in the cake batter. Alternatively,just pour the cake batter into ramekins and make a fancy dessert. However, my family just leaves the cake in the pan and decorates it. This is a great cake for potlucks or holiday gatherings.Enjoy

Paleo Zesty BBQ Sauce Recipe

Paleo Pulled Pork Wraps



Paleo Zesty BBQ Sauce

Well it just so happens that I created a delicious Paleo barbecue sauce last week when I made some BBQ Pulled Pork for my Paleo Pulled Pork Wraps. I wanted to make BBQ Pulled Pork but I wanted it Paleo, so I researched a bunch, to make sure all ingredients would go along with the Paleo Diet. I ended up getting a nice lean range feed pork roast putting it in a Crockpot and pouring this sauce all over it and slow cooking for 8 hours. It was just delicious and my clients are asking for more. Hey, some of them don’t even know that it is good for them and made with healthy ingredients.


Zesty Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients:

3 large cloves Garlic, minced

1/2 onion

1 6oz can tomato paste (preferableorganic)

1 to 1 1/2 cups of beef stock (I made my own but if you buy, you want it without salt and No MSG - Organic is best)

1 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon fresh black pepper

2 tablespoons chili powder

2 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons hot sauce or ½ teaspoonof cayenne pepper


Directions:

1. Blend in food processor garlic and onion until minced. You want your BBQsauce a little chunky but the more fine you dice these, the better the flavorwill spread through the entire sauce.

2. Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan. Start with 1 cup beef stock and addmore depend on how thick you want your sauce.

3. Bring sauce to heat on stove with a low setting.

4. Cover and simmer. Stir frequently and taste regularly. The longer yousimmer, the more consistent your flavor will be. I simmered for 20-30 minutes.

5. Enjoy!


Extra can be stored in refrigerator.
