On an Energy High

Over the last week Chad and I have been taking this product that my cousin Judy sells.  The energy that we get from this stuff is amazing. I stay focused, feel balanced and most of all don't crash when it wears off.  Why would I post about this, well after feeling the way we do, we decided to jump on the band wagon and sell the products too.

Now, I have always been skeptical about the businesses that use direct marketing strategies.  In fact I would turn and walk away from anyone trying to involve me in one, but this one feels different and the energy surrounding this company and its products are good.  Now I am not saying that I haven’t tried out other companies because I have, I have just never felt the motivation that I do now.

There are four item in this companies back pocket.  Galaxy High Impact Juice Blend, The Energy Cup, INTENSE Anti-Aging Skin Care and ZING the natural alternative energy drink. 

GALAXY Blend:

I’m sure by now many people have heard about juice blends made with superfruits, well hold on to your britches cuz one of the products from this company is 5 times, yup 5x more potent than any others on the market.  It has not only Superfruits in it but it also has Superfoods. Look at these ingredients:

Superfruits

Acai, Pineapple, Red Grape, White Grape, Pomegranate, Red Raspberry, Acerola, Aroniaberry, Elderberry, Cranberry, Goji, Mangosteen.

Superfoods
Barley, Acai Oil, Cayenne Pepper, Flaxseed, Buckwheat, Alpha Ingredients Sprouts, Lactobacillus, Soy Isoflavones, Garlic, Wheatgrass, Green Tea Extract, Garlic.


The wheatgrass alone is so beneficial for you.  My brother swears by it. As a performer he is constantly trying to find remedies that will speed up a course of a cold.  The second he feels a cold coming on he will run down to the nearest juice store and get a shot of wheatgrass.  Have you ever tried wheatgrass, it is awful. You might as well just graze in a pasture with the cows. But with the Galaxy Juice you get your wheatgrass with the superfruits and you can’t even tell it is in there. Not to mention the benefits from Acai, Goji and Pomegranate. For fun Google: wheatgrass.


In a recent study by Dr. Gary Booth from BYU, he deemed Galaxy the number 1 juice to be drinking. Out of 30 juices on the market that promote health and wellness, he told a crowd of people that his family will be on Galaxy, period. He was NOT hired by anyone to say this or even conduct a study on JoyLife’s behalf.   He also feels that the combinations of ingredients in this drink alone are “lethal to cancer cells”. 


THE ENERGY CUP


Acids are everywhere. They are in our foods, drinks and even water.  With the body being largely made of water and the doctor telling you to drink eight 12oz of water a day, did you ever stop to think about the acid in water? Even in purified bottled water.  The pH level in most bottled or taps water ranges from 3 to 4. Now you can go out and buy an expensive alkaline water machine that filters your tap water for thousands of dollars ($2,000-$5,000) and solve your problem.  Or you can get this cup and achieve that same alkaline in 30 shakes.  Why is alkaline water better for you?  Here is a list of the benefits:

• Supports a healthy pH level within the bloodstream
• Effectively and deeply hydrates the body
• Promotes increased energy levels
• Supports balance and flexibility
• May reduce traces of lead, chlorine, and heavy metal ions
• Neutralizes free radicals, reduces oxidation, and diminishes signs of aging
• Supports immune health, digestion, metabolism, and brain functions
• Filters acidic waste and removes toxins from the body
• When used in cooking, decreases acidity of food and improves taste
• Enables nutrient absorption into the body

You know those balance bracelets you see on TV or in the mall? You can get the same benefits from drinking the water from this cup as well as just having it around you.  It grounds you and increases your energy levels. Oh and btw…it is only $100 retail, if you are interested in becoming a distributor, you get an even better price.

ZING Energy Drink

This and the Energy Cup is what sold us on the company.  This drink is all natural, caffeine free and tastes like a Jolly Rancher.  When it comes to being picky, I am pretty darn close to taking the cake.  If it doesn’t taste good I will throw it out after one sip.  You only need ¾ of a cup and you will be going for 5 hours with no crash at the end.  I stay alert, focused and energized for whatever comes my way.  In each container there are 80 servings and it cheaper than going down to the convenient store and buying a Red Bull or Rockstar.

INTENSE Anti-Aging Skin Care

I have yet to try this product but from what I have read and what Judy has experienced this is as good if not better then the leading brands sold in spas across the country.  Made from Aloe, Grape Seed Oil, Retinyl and Glycolic Acid, it will revitalize, restore and renew your skin.  After 2 weeks Judy noticed some changes and by the third weeks she said that her skin is getting smoother and softer.

Change...

Who thinks that the word "Change" has been over used in our society lately? And I'm not just talking politics, but Facebook, technology, fashion, jobs and the rattle in your pocket. "Save your change", "Change your clothes" or "Damn you FB, why did you change again".

I am well aware that change is eminent, but why is it changing so fast? Before you know it we will be setting our clocks back an hour and the color on the trees will be changing.  Don't get me wrong there are many things that need to change in our world and change can be a good thing.

In technology it is one change after another.  I mean, you can barely get the hang of one thing before there is an update, a bigger and better, or newer and lighter version of something. Phones, computers, mp3 players, applications, software and the list goes on and on.  Who can keep up? Just the other day, Facebook brought out its update and people do not care for it.  I don’t mind it, there are some cool features, but why the constant change? The answer is simple to keep up with competitors…or in some cases catch up.  

Fashion is another big industry that is constantly on the move. Colors and style are here one minute and out the next.  If you can’t afford to regularly change your wardrobe at least black and white are always in.

How about the jingle in your pocket?  Now that change is a good thing, even though it may weigh you down and annoy you while you are walking.  I can tell you where my change goes, right into the jar set on my night stand.  And it has gotten to the point where if something rings up at $.99, I will wait for the cashier to hand me that penny. Why? As my Grandpa Shonk would say “those pennies add up”.

Although I don’t want to go into depth on this subject, Jobs seem to be changing rapidly too. In the case for many people it is not a good thing. Layoffs and salary reductions are all too familiar with many people in today’s work force. Jobs are harder and harder to find.

 But it is time for a different word. For the time being let's refer to change as "that" or "it".

Change: Verb
1) to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone: to change one's name; to change one's opinion; to change the course of history.

2) to become different: Overnight the nation's mood changed

There are many different ways to use that word. How about substitutes for this word:

Synonyms
Transmute, transform, mutate, amend, modify, alter, replace, trade, convert, vary, amend, transmutation, mutation, conversion, exchange, replacement. Money terms; coins, currency, cash, funds. 

I like some of the alternatives. Mutation that is fun, but then again that brings us to vampires, werewolves and x-men. Amend is another good word, however that should be used for government officials. Convert, well let’s not go there because although it can mean; convert wind into energy, it can have a negative meaning like; converting someone over.

So how do we apply these to the prior ranting? I am going to pick one word for each of them.

My choice for technology? That is an easy one: Modify. In the world of updates, sometimes it is just something minuet.  Where change can sometime seem drastic, modify seems to be slightly different.

Fashion? Alter, after all alterations are often done to clothes.

Pocket Change is now going to be referred to as fund. I know that in our house the change in the cup goes to a trip fund or play money.

Jobs, that is a tricky one.  If you are in between jobs I guess we can go with transform. In a way you have had to transform how you live and maybe a new job will transform your life.

As for that word, it can be promised to you by politicians, pushed on to you by technology, dress you differently, weigh you down or even put a cramp in your lifestyle but it will not stay around for long, because life is ever changing. But for now it is getting a makeover in my book.
