New Year New You!



Detox for Health. Detox for life.
The fast pace of modern life can leave us feeling physically, emotionally, and mentally overwhelmed and overloaded. We get caught up on a daily treadmill that absorbs so much of our time and energy that we never manage to fulfill our true potential. We perform a skillful juggling act to satisfy the demands of career, running a home, sharing a love life, bringing up a family, balancing household finances, and staying healthy.

This year is about stepping off that treadmill and taking the time to start creating the life you really want to live. I want to help you initiate the changes you need to improve the quality of your life. An easy step that will give you energy to tackle some of life's challenges is taking RESTORE, our signature and most popular product that has helped thousands regain their health and lives.

The New Year brings a fresh perspective, as well as a renewed desire to reach your goals. If you have checked any one of these, you are looking for the freedom to make these resolutions come true.

Secure your freedom today by calling me at 347-612-4487 and I'll introduce you to the Warm Spirit opportunity and much, much more. Warm Spirit is a unique business opportunity where you can do all of the above!

  1. Boil a kettle or pan of water and pour it into a large bowl. Add a couple of drops of Warm Spirit Essential Spa 3-in-1 oil (4oz. P611 $18).
  2. Let the water cool just a little (you want it to be hot but not scalding). Drape a large towel over your head so it traps all the steam, and lean your face over the bowl (at least 8 inches away). Protect the delicate skin around your eyes by first applying a thin film of moisturizer.
  3. Remain over the steam for ten minutes maximum, taking deep breaths through your nose.
  4. Pat dry any moisture left on your skin with a washcloth, or wipe with Warm Spirit's Kindness Sooth Herbal Toner (6oz. E013 $15, 1oz. E014 $5). Apply one of Warm Spirit's luxurious moisturizers and relax with a cup of Warm Spirit's Easy Time Tea (15 bags P035 $15) to complete the detox process.
If you have ten minutes more, follow your steam facial with Warm Spirit's Earth Mask (2oz. E009 $20, .5oz. E017 $5) to draw out the very last impurities left in your warm, open pores. Treat your hair to a conditioning mask at the same time, as the heat will encourage any product to sink right into the hair shaft. Try Anahita's Hair Butter (4oz. E027 $27, 2oz. E028 $15, 0.5oz E029 $5) or our Ultra Nourishing Conditioner (8oz. E008 $17).

Warning: Be wary if you suffer from red veins. Steaming could make them worse. Limit your steam to five minutes and make the water warm, not hot.
Easy Detox with RESTORErestore.gif
Our bodies have to deal daily with a huge array of pollutants. We don't always get enough exercise or sleep. We consume too many processed foods and too much fat, sugar, caffeine and alcohol--all take their toll on our health. When environmental and dietary toxins build up in the body, they contribute to fatigue, weight gain, allergies, headaches, skin eruptions, digestive disorders, slower mental processes, and a weakened immune system.

Fortunately, the body has its own purifying system, but if it becomes overworked and overloaded, a body detox may be the answer. Detoxing doesn't have to be hard. It's so simple and easy with RESTORE.

drink.jpg Take RESTORE once a day to gently detox your system and help increase your energy, lift your mood, and give you better-quality sleep. It will rejuvenate tired skin and bring out your hair's natural shine. If you wish to lose some extra weight, take RESTORE twice a day.

For optimal health, drink eight glasses of filtered water a day. When detoxing, aim to increase water intake by drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning when you wake up and in the evening before going to bed. Increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables; both have high water content as well as many other health benefits.
Self-care and wellness is not something that should be done only once in a while but all the time. Make someone feel extra special with the benefits of receiving Warm Spirit not just for the holiday but for the whole year.

Customize your own continuous care package by selecting the Warm Spirit Products of your choice, and we'll deliver them directly to your recipient each month. Your family and friends will be thinking of you and appreciating you every month. It's a gift of wellness all year through.

Also available in our Continuous Care Program is the opportunity to receive one of our hand-picked signature care packages. Each month, we select luxurious pampering products that will turn your home into your own personal spa. The signature pack automatically changes every month so your loved ones can enjoy our featured spa products of the month.
CONTACT ME FOR INFORMATION ON THIS MONTH'S SIGNATURE CARE SET and BONUS ITEMS


As a bonus, you receive a FREE GIFT with your Continuous Care Signature or Customized packages when your purchase is $30 or more.

If I told you of a way to double your investment (money) every four or six years, would you want to know how? Say you had $10,000, if you received a interest rate of 18% your money would double to 20,000 in 4 yrs. Unfortunately, most savings and money market accounts only pay a maximum 4% interest rate, which would take that same $10,000 18 yrs. to double.Now you may be thinking is she telling me to invest in the stock market with all its glorious risk for loss. And the answer is a big fat NO....!

Many people are unaware of the vast amount of financial investment vehicles available to help them reach their financial goals of purchasing their first, income for retirement, money for their children's education, or a emergency fund for hard times. However by speaking with a professional in the financial industry can enlighten people on the many opportunities of how to truly build wealth.

I started a new web page on my website for ladies. It's called Ladies Inspirational Growth. It's open to all women who need a little more encouragment. There are scriptures and ministries on there to help along the way.

I'm also looking for christian women who feel they have some encouraging words they would like to pass along to other readers. I will be doing interviews for authors and inspirational speakers/motivators. Please check out the website and let me know if you are interested.

Thanks, Dominique

POEM: LOOKING FOR LOVE

Looking for love in all the wrong places
This woman opens her heart to every man
that tells her he loves her
Never takes the chance to get to know the true her
Only believes it from the mouth of others
They know she is weak
As she even stands with her head high
so they creep in and out of her life
Like thieves in the night

Looking for love in all the wrong places
This woman never had someone to truly call her own
She despises the looks of admiration from the couple she walks by
Wanting that same adoration to walk into her life
As she cries in the night behind closed doors
Trying to cover her pain with every mundane routine in her life
She throws out "I love yous", carelessly
Waiting to hear a reply

Looking for love in all the wrong places
This woman is scorned and miserable
Needing to learn that if she truly loved herself first
Her knight and shining armor would ride in
But never being in love and never knowing how to really love
she yet again runs into the arms of another man
Believing that if he would only reply back
The words she whispered to him
She'll be able to move on

but no she continues
dreaming,
searching,
seeking,
looking...
for love
in all the wrong places

POEM: HAIR

Hair

"I hate my hair!"

I screamed

And as the words fell out my mouth

I took it back

Because I immediately though of those cancer paitiens

Who had no hair to complain about

So I decided to stop the straigheners

Stop the blow dryers and the curling iron and the rollers

All the things that made me not what I really am

And instead I grew locks

Dread, Natty Dread

Whatever you want to call it

But I call it natural hair

MY natural hair

That is the longest it has ever been

That I twist daily

Wash with rachette shampoo

And smooth that real coconut oil

Through it's strands

Starting from the scalp

That now is black with hints of light brown

Because I tried to be different again

But no

Not even coloring

They will grow naturally

Silver strands in my hair

That's what I want

To tell of my age

To tell of my struggle

To tell that I am growing old

GRACEFULLY

One strand longer than the other

But not breaking away

Not falling apart because I put chemicals in it

Hair that can be pulled

And pulled and pulled

And won't break away

That's the strength of the hair

MY hair

Dread, Natty dread

That will still take the heat

Because I still need to look fly

Once I get a fresh twist

So yeah, maybe a hair dryer once in a while

Maybe curlers for a bouncy look

Pinned up, okay

Let loose – hang loose

Down to my back

Maybe my butt

No telling if I'll put a scissor to it

No-no!

Uh-uh!

Don't touch, white woman

I don't touch yours

Why you gotta touch mine

Yeah, it's real

From the roots to the tip

From the follicle to the hip

Dread, Natty Dread!

Roots natty, Roots Natty

And I can still flip it like you, white girl

I can still wash it like you, white girl

I can still wear it like you, white girl

And you can call me

RASTAFARI!

But even though I'm not a Crown Prince

I am a PROUD QUEEN!

The financial service industry has been around since the beginning of times. It has helped people who have no college education the opportunity to work independently and build a business of their own, all it takes is to be licensed in the state you plan to work in. And a above all that you can earn as much and more than people who have the high paying, college degree required jobs, but you get to be your own boss.

No more having people mandate your life, you can be the creator of your own destiny, but in order for you to be successful in business you must be determined, creative, and willing to step out of your comfort zone and make the money. Now if those things I just listed are not a part of your DNA, than you may not have what it takes, but in some cases when people expose themselves to new possibilities, they find out that really do have what it takes to succeed in business.

If you want to know more about this home-based business as a financial associate, visit www.shanekamarigny.com and fill out the form located in the "Become an Agent" sector.

Marg's 40th Bday Cruise

Margaret’s 40th Birthday Cruise
Im getting outta town for my birthday…Care to join me?

December 14, 2008
8 days on Carnival Spirit

Leaving San Diego with stops in
Manzanillo, Mexico
Acapulco, Mexico
Zihuatanejo/ Ixtapa, Mexico


Manzanillo, Mexico, is a resort town of wide, soft-sand beaches and groves of palm trees. With its balmy weather, year-round ocean breezes and verdant mountains rising along the shoreline, this is a perfect spot for vacationers looking to relax by taking in a round of golf, doing some deep-sea fishing or just basking in the warmth of a sun-kissed beach.

Acapulco, which is virtually synonymous with luxury, is a place where the rich and famous come to escape. Take the scenic highway for a striking panoramic view of the beaches and mountains, and note the beautiful homes and lush gardens as you pass through Las Brisas. And make sure you take time to see the thrilling cliff divers plunge into the turbulent waters of Le Quebrada.

Ixtapa is a lively, modern infrastructure comprised of luxury resorts and residential areas residing on beautiful beaches along the Pacific coast. A photo stop at Playa Quieta, where you will be able to view the magnificent island of Ixtapa, is a must. Zihuatanejo, an Indian word meaning "river of the yellow water," is a small bay and resort discovered by tourists in 1940. At the time, the only access to the village was by the sea. Your visit to this small town will provide you with some of the most breathtaking sights, including the beautiful Sierra Madre mountains as a backdrop.

OK now the details

Inside (4A) : $728.42 1st/2nd 3rd/4th$618.42
Oceanview (6A): $878.42 1st/2nd 3rd/4th $648.42
Balcony (8A): $978.42 1st/2nd 3rd/4th $698.42

All pricing includes all fees, taxes, and fuel charges

Travel Insurance thru Carnival

$129.00 per person over 16
$59.00 per person 16 and younger

Payment Schedule
January 18, 2008 $25 per person
July 17, 2008 $300 per person
September 30, 2008 Final payment

Monthly payment plans are available. Travel Insurance highly recommended!
Passports are required. If you have any questions about this sailing, drop me a line at margaret@letsgetawaytravel.net

Have you ever looked at your career and financial position and wondered how did it end up like this? Unfortunately you are not a lone, 1 out 10 people polled said they wish they had a better job, higher pay, and more time to spend with family and friends. The problem stems from a number of factors such as: lack of higher education, which in turns forces them to work a low paying job, or maybe the have a flood of higher education, but are forced to work long hours and miss out on spending time with their love ones.

Many people however do not know how to get out of this unhappy cycle and create their own destiny. The fact is that no matter how stuck you feel in a situation there is a way of escape, even if you have to create the way for yourself.
