			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/aloe-baby.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-472" style="margin: 5px 10px;" title="aloe-baby" src="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/aloe-baby.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a>Support Forever Giving with every purchase of an Aloe Baby. With his unmistakable golden yellow color and brown cap that is reminiscent of Forever’s pure, stabilized Aloe Vera Gel, Aloe Baby represents a brighter future for our children. All proceeds go to Forever Giving, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.</p>
<p>Forever Giving partners with charitable organizations globally that share our passion for improving the human experience. Children are our future and Forever Giving specifically focuses on making a difference throughout the world by providing funds, facilities, and education to help fight against poverty, hunger, and the lack of medical services available for children. The foundation also supports relief efforts in response to natural disasters in the areas we operate and in our donor communities. Forever Giving provides a transparent means for individuals to give, knowing that the funds will reach those in need.</p>
<p>Everybody, at some point, feels the urge to give. Perhaps this motivation comes from an inner appreciation of the people around us, or a realization that we have enough to spare a little, or maybe it comes from seeing the devastating effects of disasters throughout the world, whether man-made or natural. We’ve all watched graphic images of the destruction of hope that occurs when a person’s ability to choose is removed, either by poverty, hunger, natural disaster or disease. Witnessing this suffering motivates us to look for a way to give of our excess, hoping to provide some relief.</p>
<p>The challenge then is how to give and how to get involved. This is where FOREVER GIVING comes in. One of our primary goals is to provide people just like you with a method to get involved, whether on a one time or a continual basis. We promise to put your generous contribution to work as you partner with us in the fight against poverty, hunger, natural disasters and disease.</p>
<p>We recognize that every single cent is sacred, and whether you give five dollars or one million dollars, your donation will be treated with the respect your generosity deserves. How much you give is not important. What is important is that you act now and join our fight against the destruction of hope, by partnering with people you know and trust.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/plan.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-483" title="plan" src="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/plan.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Probably, you have dreamt of working from home at one point of your life, you are tired of working for someone else, being overworked and underpaid. You deserve at least a little recognition, it&#8217;s not just about the freedom of setting your own schedule, but also about the opportunity to be in control of your time, and to put your family first. You know that if you could find the right opportunity, you would work as hard as you do for your boss and be able to find time freedom and financial freedom.</p>
<p>The sad reality is that one of these scenarios is most probably going to take place:</p>
<p>* the person seeking a home based business opportunity doesn&#8217;t take it seriously, doesn&#8217;t work on their own business even half as hard as they do on their job, they just don&#8217;t commit to their business.<br />
* they join the wrong opportunity, or company. Maybe it&#8217;s something they are not passionate about, or the company is not stable (most companies don&#8217;t survive their first 5 years)</p>
<p>* the product is overpriced and its effectiveness is not clear, it is hard to convince others to try it.<br />
* in order to stay active you have to invest hundreds of dollars in products even autoships every month.</p>
<p>Fortunately, I have found a company and business opportunity whose plan matches my dream.</p>
<p>If you want to work from home in an honest, proven business, marketing affordable high quality products, with the opportunity to benefit from one of the most lucrative compensation plans AND if you are willing to work at least half as hard as you do for your boss&#8230; then watch this video and take control of your future today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/aloe-vera-plant.jpg"><img src="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/aloe-vera-plant-199x300.jpg" alt="" title="Aloe plant" width="199" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-440" /></a>Most people are aware of aloe vera’s soothing and healing capacities. Many families keep an aloe plant in the kitchen to use to quickly treat minor burns from cooking, and other minor wounds. Nearly every drug store and health food store sells a post-sun care product containing aloe vera because of its ability to soothe and speed up the healing process of sunburn.</p>
<p>I was already aware that aloe is one of the most commonly used botanical ingredients in cosmetic and personal care products because of these traits, but aloe offers several other benefits to the skin that I was not as aware of.</p>
<p><strong>Aloe is a Humectant</strong></p>
<p>A humectant is one of the primary categories of moisturizers. Humectants work by attracting and drawing water to the skin, and then binding the water to the cells and tissues. This increases hydration, and therefore softens the skin and helps improve the appearance of lines. Aloe is a wonderful humectant, and is possibly the most inexpensive and accessible humectant ingredient.</p>
<p><strong>Aloe is an Emollient</strong></p>
<p>Another primary category of moisturizers is emollients. Emollients work by staying on the surface of the skin to prevent loss of moisture. They also soften and appear to “fill in” fine lines, and have soothing properties. Most emollients are fatty ingredients, which makes them inadvisable for use on oilier skin types. Aloe is one of the few emollients that is not fatty; it is lightweight and is a great way to hydrate and trap in moisture for oily skin to prevent dehydration. It is also non-comedogenic, which means it will not clog pores.</p>
<p><strong>Aloe is Anti-fungal, Antimicrobial, and Anti-inflammatory</strong></p>
<p>This makes it a great treatment not only for minor burns and scrapes, but also for fungal infections like athlete’s foot, and bacterial infections like acne. Not only does it reduce fungus and bacteria, soothe irritation, and heal inflammation; it also forms a film over the area on which it was applied. This seals and protects the area while it heals.</p>
<p><strong>Aloe’s Internal Benefits</strong></p>
<p>Aloe vera is now commonly seen in health food stores as an internal supplement. I have seen bottles of pure aloe vera gel, as well as aloe vera juice you can drink. It is also often used in detoxification formulas and programs. Taken internally, aloe offers countless potential benefits to the entire body. </p>
<p>According to Simon Smith, author of the Aloe Vera Health Benefits website, some of these benefits are:<br />
 * A bioavailable source of several vitamins and minerals that are vital to healthy cell growth<br />
 * Contains several antioxidants that protect the body against free radical damage<br />
 * Contains multiple enzymes to aid the process of digestion<br />
 * Contains plant sterols that prevent over-acidity and help soothe the digestive tract<br />
 * Reduces inflammation inside the body<br />
 * Prevents Candida overgrowth in the body<br />
 * Helps the body’s natural wound healing process function properly<br />
 * Aids in detoxification and helps keep the colon clean and regular</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We know that we must have a balanced diet with foods from different groups, but have you ever thought about “color coding” your plate? It could be very beneficial to your health.</p>
<p><strong>Reds: Shield against cancer</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tomatoes.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-419" title="tomatoes" src="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tomatoes-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>This group includes tomatoes, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, watermelons, plums and beets.</p>
<p>All of these, contain 2 fundamental phytonutrients that give them their color, and those are lycopene and beta-carotene which are known to posses anti-cancer properties.</p>
<p>Dietary intakes of total carotenoids, lycopene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, and zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene, have been associated with significant reductions in risk of lung cancer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Greens: Maximum vitality</strong><br />
<a href="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/asparagus1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-424" style="margin: 5px 10px;" title="asparagus" src="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/asparagus1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>These green foods contain trocopherols and trocotrienols and these phytonutrients are members of the vitamin E family. The primary function of vitamin E is to serve as an antioxidant, protecting us from free radical damage.</p>
<p>Some examples of these are: broccoli, green beans, asparagus, green peppers and avocado.</p>
<p>Forever Living’s aloe vera gel contains the following stabilizing antioxidants: tocotrienol/tocopherol blend, rosmarinic acid, polyphenols, or any combination thereof.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Blues: Anti-inflammatory power</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/blueberries.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-420" style="margin: 5px 10px;" title="blueberries" src="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/blueberries-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Blue fruits and vegetables such as grapes, blueberries, eggplant, plums, pomegranates and cranberries contain polyphenols. They are powerful antioxidants and they also show anti-inflammatory capabilities.</p>
<p>“A number of epidemiological studies have suggested that the consumption of polyphenol-rich foods reduces the risk of developing chronic diseases. For example, red wine consumption might prevent cardiovascular heart disease, while frequent green tea consumption has been suggested to have an association with a lower incidence of cardiovascular diseases and cancer.” (Journal of the American College of Nutrition, Vol. 22, No. 3, 217-223 (2003) Published by the American College of Nutrition)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Yellows: The fountain of Youth</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Carrots.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-422" style="margin: 5px 10px;" title="Carrots" src="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Carrots-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Oranges, pumpkins, squash, lemons, carrots and pineapples all belong to this group. They all owe their color to their beta-carotene content, which is a compound that protects the skin from sun damage and it is believed to protect our bodies from cancer.</p>
<p>Antioxidants such as beta-carotene, are believed to protect against the free radical cell damage that contributes heavily to premature skin aging and even new research says beta carotene could help diabetics ward off heart disease.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/beach.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-394" style="margin: 5px 10px;" title="beach" src="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/beach-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Most people never consider starting a business when they are employed, but if they are unable to keep their current job for any reason then they consider to start a business. But this is not really a good idea, read below to know why: <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>* No paycheck, no funding money- </strong>This is obvious, starting a business (any business, even a network marketing or home based business) requires some money investment. The little money that you may have from unemployment insurance, savings, or any allowances is needed to pay the bills, so it’s not a good idea to use that money to fund your business.</p>
<p>You will need to buy marketing supplies, brochures, business cards, samples, maybe even purchase a start-up kit and even if you want to keep it as “minimum” investment as you can, there is no question that you will need to put some money into your new business.</p>
<p>Also, if your business idea requires significant investment and you need a loan, it’s not going to be easy if you are unemployed or in a reduced hours schedule.</p>
<p><strong>* Limited time to generate income</strong> – With no paycheck coming in, you’ll be pressured and anxious to generate an income and the reality is that it will take some time for you to generate an income from your home based or network marketing business (actually, this is true for ANY business).</p>
<p>This could make you want to quit altogether when you realize that your new business requires some time before it can replace your paycheck or at least bring a significant income.</p>
<p>* <strong>Narrow circle of influence </strong>- When you are employed you are in contact with many people, those that work in your office, department and building, also customers, clients, suppliers, service providers, etc.</p>
<p>Once you are not working, your network is reduced to just your neighbors, family, friends, fellow church members and/or school.</p>
<p>Based on the previous, it is best to start your home based or network marketing business while you are employed. You don’t need to invest 40 hours a week into your business, you can start part-time, investing some time at night and on the weekends.</p>

I have to take full control of the issue and not fall prey of my: “Oh no, this person is so and has this and wouldn’t be interested” thoughts.</p>
<p>We usually think about unemployed people or stay at home moms, or existing customers  when we are searching for prospects to join our team, and we usually (OK, OK,<strong> I</strong> usually) think that certain people are not going to be interested, but have you considered…?</p>
<p>1- People that are successful, but are not happy with what they do.</p>
<p>2- People who love what they do, but that they want to get more out of life.</p>
<p>3- People worried about downsizing and layoffs.</p>
<p>4- People who make a lot of money but don’t have the time to enjoy it.</p>
<p>5- Natural entrepreneurs who are always searching for new ventures.</p>
<p>6- People who need money to retire or pay off loans.</p>
<p>7- People who want to pay off credit card debt.</p>
<p>8- People who dream about changing careers.</p>
<p>9- People with 2 or more jobs who are exhausted and want to quit one of the jobs.</p>
<p>10- People wanting an additional income so their spouse doesn’t have to work.</p>
<p>11- People who want to improve their lifestyle.</p>
<p>We never know who needs what we have to offer, and who gave us the right to prevent them to find a solution to their needs?</p>
<p>Let them make the decision, let them know what you have, if it’s a fit for them wonderful, they will let you know;  if it’s not a match, no problem, now that they know what you have to offer, they can  send you a referral if they meet someone who needs it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/asthma.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-409" style="margin: 5px 10px;" title="Woman Using an Inhaler" src="http://mariangiesbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/asthma-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>My daughter suffers from asthma, that is one of the reasons I decided to find a way to work from home, so I can be able to adjust my schedule when she gets sick.</p>
<p>One day I went to her school to excuse her because she was sick again and the grandmother of one of her classmates told me: “<em>Joe is also asthmatic and since I started giving him Aloe vera in his orange juice each morning, he’s been doing better”.</em> So I decided to learn more about it.</p>
<p><strong>Here’s why Aloe could help relieve asthma.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Aloe contains sterols</strong> – Sterols are important anti-inflammatory agents. The ones found in Aloe Vera are: Cholesterol, Sitosterol, Campesterol and Lupeol. These sterols contain antiseptic and analgesic properties.</li>
<li><strong>Aloe contains polysaccharides</strong> – Polysaccharides are the most important types of sugars. They aid in proper digestion, maintain cholesterol levels, improve liver functions and promote the strengthening of bones. Acemannan refers to a D-isomer mucopolysaccharide that is extracted from aloe leaves. This compound has been known to have immunostimulant, antiviral, antineoplastic and gastrointestinal properties.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>But beware, NOT all Aloe is created equal!</strong></p>
<p>The most nutritionally potent is the Aloe Barbadensis Miller, so make sure that the Aloe vera gel that you buy contains this type of aloe. It’s also important that you buy aloe that has been submitted to a natural stabilization process that allows it to reach the consumers in its natural state.</p>
<p>You may think that it’s best to go to the source and use the aloe gel straight from the leaf if you have a potted aloe plant, but that is also something you need to be careful about. Aloe leaves contain a compound called <em><strong>Aloin.</strong></em> Aloin is a bitter, yellow-brown colored compound that can irritate the digestive system.</p>
<p>So in order to get the most benefit of aloe vera and help improve your asthma it’s best to choose an <a href="http://www.aloepr.com" target="_blank">aloe vera gel that comes from aloe vera barbadensis miller, that has been stabilized and that had its aloin removed.<br />
