Since joining Internet Ceo Moms I have been truly inspired by the team, and my wonderful mentor Rebecca. We always have great inspirational quotes at the end of our meetings. Since I enjoy hearing these quotes, I decided to find some inspiration quotes to share with you all. I hope you enjoy!

Going Green
I’ve always liked the thought of green products, but not until recently have I seriously thought about it. The products in the store seem so expensive, and the ones I have tried didn’t seem to do all that great of a job.
I just started thinking about it again because someone referred me to a great store on line that has over 300 products that are green. A wellness company that has been in business for 25 years. They we’re green before green was popular. I certainly never heard of going green and green products growing up. I only thought green products were cleaning products, but I was wrong. They have five categories. An ecosence line, in which is cleaning products, air mists, and candles. A vitality line, in which is your vitamins and supplements. A bath and body line, that has a variety of shampoo, body wash, soap, deodorant, shaving cream etc; for the whole family. A skin care and cosmetic line, for all your skin care and beauty needs. And finally a pharmacy line for your drugstore essentials.
Not only do they have all these products, they have them at a great value. But do they work? Well I haven’t tried all the products yet, but I can tell you the ones I have tried, I am pleasantly surprised, they are just great. The cleaning products I can’t say enough of, and with no harsh chemical smell to inhale.
Since I have been referred to this store, I have been researching about chemicals in the home. What I found shocked me. I only considered cleaning products in having chemicals. I never realized it’s in our laundry soap, body wash, shampoo, toothpaste, lotion, make up, baby products, and the list goes on. It’s no wonder why there is so much sickness in North America.
I’m so glad with all that I have learned so far, that I am going green for the health and wellness of my family. All I did was switched stores, and you can too. If you are interest in any information on this great on line store, I will gladly give you some info. Just email me at: jennmclennan@hotmail.com.

My new job: Internet Ceo Mom
To my delight I did hear from this nice lady named Rebecca. She gave me lots of information with no pushy intent to sign me up. She gave me the time to research it, time to think about it, and time to talk it over with my husband. There was no risk, so I signed up. Rebecca is now my mentor, she is helping me on my way to having a home business. With Internet Ceo Moms I get free training and a free web-site. I look forward to this new chapter of my life.

Did You Know......?
Did you know.................
50% of all illness is due to poor indoor air quality (Source: 1989 State of Massachusetts Study)
AIR FRESHENERS: interfere with the ability to smell by coating nasal passages with an oily film, or by releasing a nerve deadening agent! Toxins in air fresheners include: Formaldehyde: highly toxic, known carcinogen. Phenol: can cause skin to burn, peel, and sweat. Can cause convulsions, coma, circulatory collapse and even DEATH!
LIQUID DISH-SOAPS: is the leading cause of poisonings in the home for children under the age of 6 (over 2.1 million accidental poisonings per year) (contains formaldehyde and ammonia in most brands) One Million poisonings in Canada each year are due to household cleaner ingestion. Some are fatal. The #1 cause of household poisoning is dish detergent. What kinds of chemicals are in those products? http://www.rense.com/general19/chemical.htm
AUTOMATIC DISHWASHING DETERGENTS: contain dry chlorine that is highly concentrated. #1 cause of child poisonings, according to poison control centers.
CHLORINE BLEACH: is a strong corrosive and can burn or irritate skin, eyes and the respiratory system. Can cause vomiting or coma if swallowed! WARNING! Never mix with ammonia as the fumes are very dangerous and can be DEADLY!
AMMONIA: is very volatile and damaging to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract!
FURNITURE POLISH: contains Petroleum Distillates, which are highly flammable and can cause lung and skin cancer!
DRAIN CLEANER: most drain cleaners contain lye, hydrochloric acid or trichloroethane, which are all very caustic. They burn the skin and eyes, and can cause liver and kidney damage.
OVEN CLEANER: contain lye, which is a strong caustic and irritant to skin and eyes. Can cause tissue damage if swallowed.
TOOTHPASTE: can contain a number of harmful ingredients, such as: ammonia, benzyl alcohol/sodium benzoate, colors, ethanol, flavours, fluoride, formaldehyde, mineral oil, plastic (PVP), saccharin. Formaldehyde, mineral oil, PVP, and saccharin are all classified as carcinogens or suspected carcinogen, as is fluoride, which has been banned in many European countries and is the subject of concern with regard to thyroid problems. In fact, as of April 1997, toothpaste is required to carry poison control information on the label as even a small amount can harm or kill a small child.
Occupational Safety & Health analyzed 2,983 chemicals used in personal care products. A personal care product is de-fined as anything we use to clean our bodies, or make ourselves look or smell good.
The results are as follows:
884 are toxic
146 cause tumours
218 cause reproductive complications
314 cause biological mutation
376 cause skin and eye irritations
778 caused acute toxicity

Over the last 20-30 years, as more toxic chemicals have been introduced in greater amounts, the level of toxins stored in adipose tissues (fat cells) of our bodies has risen. Bio-accumulation studies have shown that some toxins store in our bodies for life. Greater and greater amounts are being stored at younger ages. Diseases that used to occur later in life are now appearing at younger ages. Diseases that used to be rare are more frequent. For Example: There has been a 28% increase in childhood cancer since the addition of pesticides into household products. (Source: National Cancer Institute)
In one decade, there has been a 42% increase in asthma (29% for men; 82% for women-the higher rate for women is believed to be due to women's longer exposure times to household chemicals) (Source: Center for Disease Control)
Due to the increase in toxic build-up in our bodies, including the toxic build-up of formaldehyde, dead bodies are not decomposing as fast as they used to. (Source: National Institutes of Health)
There is an increased risk for leukemia in children where parents have used pesticides in the home or garden before the
child's birth (Source: Journal of the National Cancer Institute)
Over 150 chemicals found in the average home have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological
abnormalities. (Source): Consumer Product Safety Commission

In most cases, however, you won't find much information on the label. There are no requirements of manufacturers to actually disclose what is in a product, and there is no regulation or enforcement. All of it falls under proprietary trade secret legislation.
Today, cancer is the leading cause of death for women ages 35-74. In 1901 cancer was considered a rare disease. Statistics show that only 1 out of 8000 people had cancer. TODAY, according to the American Cancer Society, 1 out of every 3 people has cancer. TODAY, 1 out of every 2 people has been touched by cancer. The fear of cancer is on every-one’s mind these days. So many forms of cancer and they all had to start somewhere . . .

How Safe is My Family?
This is the question that every parent should be asking themselves.
We have no choice but to breathe the air, eat the food, and drink the water; but we DO have a CHOICE of what we put on our skin and what products we have in our homes.
I know that I personally do not ever want to believe that I caused harm to my family, when I had the choice to change it. I’d love to help ensure a safer home for your family.
For more information on how to make your home a healthier place for you and your family please go to my website and I will call you with the information. I would love to help you have a healthier safer home!
