| What's In Your Goal Setting Tool Box? |
| 2011-05-28 01:30:51 |
Goal setting can be thought of like setting up a "tool box for success." In this toolbox we add goals for ourselves, rather than resolutions. This tool box is then utilized, to assist in achieving our goals. Goals differ from resolutions, which many people "resolve" to do, but often find difficult to complete or follow through on for any length of time.
An example of setting a goal: I will begin walking two miles, four days a week, beginning this Sunday. Verses a similar set, resolution: I want (resolve) to start walking to improve my health.
Both appear similar, but a goal has an intended purpose, a concrete objective with a measurable end result, to be achieved within a determined time frame. A resolution is a bit more vague, often nothing more than a decision to do something.
Goals are memorable, achievable and encompass important aspects of your life. By their very nature, goals tend to be positive and achievement oriented. To assist in making them more actionable, it helps to w...

| Are You Using Natural Laundry Soap? If Not, Why You Should Be |
| 2011-03-29 10:44:52 |
It may surprise you to learn commercial laundry detergent and household cleansers are not required to list their ingredients, and most do not. I invite you to go inspect your container of laundry “soap,” be it liquid or powder, and look for a list of ingredients. Most likely, you will not find one. At best, you may see, “Does not contain sulfites.” So what’s in that laundry soap you’re using? It’s hard to know for sure, since disclosure is not required. What we do know is the cleansers in laundry detergent are harsh. They often are the same main ingredients found in the liquid car wash you buy to wash your car. This is also, a main ingredient in many mass produced body washes! These harsh cleansers are also not easily broken down in the environment, and are not environmental...

| Essensu Holistic Skincare Chosen as a Featured Trend |
| 2010-09-26 02:16:06 |
One of essensu's holistic skincare body creams, was recently featured in Trendhunter Magazine.
Our product was chosen due to the incredible buzz created by one of our customers, who wrote a testimonial and posted before and after pictures on her blog. You can read about her AMAZING results after this cream on her face for four months, at Fo-Shizzle Design Studios.
We thought we would share her before and after photos here as well. Our cream is packed with goodness, which nourishes and re-hydrates even the driest skin.
The photo on the left was taken in January, 2010. The photo on the right was taken in June, 2010, four months later. She used the cream on her face and eye area twice a day, morning and night. Her testimonial was completely unsolicited and sent to us after she posted it on her blog.
We are delighted to have a customer have such wonderful results upon using one of our products!essensu ... We Bring The Garden To Skincare

| Are Fish in Freshwater Streams Polluted with Mercury? |
| 2010-03-14 14:44:01 |
Have you wondered how bad the mercury pollution really is in our fish population? In a new study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), every single fish tested from 291 freshwater streams across the United States was found to be contaminated with mercury.
"This study shows just how widespread mercury pollution has become in our air, watersheds and many of our fish in freshwater streams," said Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.
Mercury is a potent neurotoxin that builds up in the food chain at ever higher concentrations in predators such as large fish and humans. It is especially damaging to the developing nervous systems of fetuses and children, but can have severe effects on adults, as well.
The pollutant enters the environment almost wholly as atmospheric emissions from industrial processes, primarily the burning of coal for electricity. It then spreads across the plant and settles back to the surface, eventually concentrating in rivers, lakes and oceans, wher...

| Alzheimer's Disease: Early Signs and Symptoms You Need to Know |
| 2010-02-14 22:20:11 |
I’d like to apologize to all my lovely readers for the absence of recent posts. Right after my last post in November, my beautiful mother-in-law’s health declined rapidly, and she passed away right before Thanksgiving due to Alzheimer's Disease.
All families endure difficult life happenings at one time or another. I don’t think anyone with loved ones escapes this. As well imagined, my efforts were directed at supporting my family through our loss and taking care of all the necessary things required, when we lose someone.
However, I did miss sharing blog posts with you, and I’m ready to return to writing them. With that said, I do hope you will forgive me for taking time off and I hope you will continue to be a Holistic Diva reader.
This life loss inspired my current topic of discussion; Alzheimer’s: The Early Signs and Symptoms You Need To Know. My amazing mother-in-law unfortunately lost many of her later years to the insidious grip of Alzheimer’s Disease. As incredibly tr...
