Wendy lost 44 pounds, her son lost 30 pounds and her mom lost 24 pounds. How did they do it? Well, all from doing the KETO Lifestyle.

Wendy began looking at the Keto program because her 15 yr old son had severe epilepsy and wanted to know what she could do to help him. She was desperate since the neurologist said he was having constant seizures and wanted to send him to Duke Children’s Hospital for a study to see if he was a good candidate for brain surgery.

(Recent interest in this theory has prompted both animal and human studies showing striking results of the low-carbohydrate [low-glucose] ketogenic diet in certain cancers.)

It was found that children who had epilepsy could begin a Keto program and either eliminate completely or help their seizures tremendously without any medication.

After learning of this Wendy decided that it was in her best interest to put her son on this immediately. Knowing it would be hard because she delt with a teenage boy who love pizza she knew it had to be done.

What Wendy did not realize was what Wendy became obsessed with helping her son effects it would have feel better and not have to go through the ordeal on her family. During of brain surgery. She began researching online the first few weeks what she could do to help him. That is when she her son began losing weight and the seizures found the Keto Lifestyle. stopped. Wendy began losing weight and feeling The ketogenic diet was a treatment for epilepsy better. And life began to change. and discovered in 1921 by Dr. Russel Wilder, MD, of the Mayo Clinic. At about the same time, GerIt was not until their first visit back to the neurolman biochemist and Nobel laureate Otto Warogist that made Wendy realize that what was burg published a study showing that cancer cells, happening in her home was nothing short of a unlike normal cells, use glucose for energy. miracle. Not only was it weight loss, but her son

was almost seizure free, and the atmosphere in her home had changed.

You see when someone has epilepsy it messes with their emotions and mood.

Wendy shares how her son was always angry, or mad and mean to everyone. As a mother it was very hard on her and she just did not know what to do.

After being on the keto program, her son started being happy, and nice and everything in her home changed.

Wendy became so passionate about this that she started helping others get on the Keto Lifetstyle.

Debra Myers Why I do what I do all from home.

Hello, My name is Debra Myers and I would like to share my story with you on WHY is started working from home. In October 1998, my oldest daughter was born. Shortly after she turned 1, we found out that she had Cerebral Palsy and she also has epilepsy. In January 2001, our other daughter was born. These two are something else. They keep me on my toes all the time. In 2010, I found out that I had Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Life as we knew it was changed forever. Thing are going GREAT now, 7+ years and still going strong. I have been looking for something to do from home because it's hard to work a full time job when I would get a call from the school telling me that I needed to come get my daughter because she was having seizures. So, I started really looking into a home base business.

Then I talked with an friend that I grow up with and she told me that she was working from

home.

The business she introduced me too was a true home business that allows me to work from home and make a full time income working part time hours using my laptop or smartphone. It has truly been a life changing business. You will appreciate the fact that anyone no matter where you live, what experience you have you can make an income with this business. I would love to speak with you personally. Fill out the form below and I will personally call you and give you additional info about what I do all from home. The information is free to receive.

My decision to hang up the uniform came with ease as the military decided I could retire early due to health challenges, but that date wouldn’t come until March 10, 2016. Now, I had time to prepare, because it was only October 2015. I wasn’t worried as I’d worked for the Department of Defense before serving on active duty; really, how much could have changed? I was slapped in the face with reality. This two-time college graduate had submitted 50+ applications. I was highly qualified for many to be overqualified for a lot. I received one telephonic interview and another that wouldn’t seek further employment opportunities with me because they couldn’t agree to the salary terms I was requesting…. I was in shock – what am I going to do now? I’d worked in the healthcare industry for over twenty years; I wasn’t looking to start over let alone go back to school – that was out of the question; I’d just paid my student loan debt off. While all this pondering was taking Former Uniform wearing, wife, & mother turned En- place, I’d started a product called Thrive in Decemtrepreneur… ber 2015 just to start feeling better and getting the restful sleep I needed at night. Even in light of all of Life, in general, will throw us curve balls. However, the stress, my attitude and moods were calmed, it’s our reaction that determines whether we come when before, I’d have been bouncing off the walls through unscathed or even better for the experience. since disability wouldn’t kick in until two months after retiring. So, I started taking a serious look at what the Thrive Experience was doing for me.

I was “that mom” who worked 14-16 hours days general achiness after pulling off my boots. instructing Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen with a lot of late nights and missed weekends while maintaining Day 10 - is when Thrive kicked in and I had my “ahtwo different households in two different states, two ha” moment. My son asked what was going on besons in college, and dealing with student issues; it all cause the dining room table was clear, dishes were came to a head. I was numb, telling myself that I washed, and he noticed I wasn't taking a 2-3 hour couldn’t physically keep this up (but saying in my nap once I came home after working 14-16-hour head, “you’re a Soldier so suck it up). I was exhaust- days. ed mentally and thought there has got to be something better than this groundhog-day routine that repeated itself daily.

It didn’t take long to convince me the product worked, I started sharing and realized I could get my products for free by sharing Thrive with two friends. I was happy with that because it wouldn’t be an additional financial cost while I was figuring out what I was going to do for employment. March 2016, I had ten days left before retiring. I started seeing Facebook posts/videos about Le-Vel’s yearly convention being held in Dallas. I was excited because everyone genuinely looks SO happy. I decided to attend this event to help me make my final decision as to whether or not I would promote the company full time from home.

April 2016 rolled around, and I was getting used to not having to get up at 2:30 am to get ready for work and be out the door by 3 am. I had the freedom to visit my husband who was still working in Oklahoma. Life was good. I was able to help my husband pack and move during his imminent transfer, visited friends and relaxed. While traveling back to San Antonio, TX, 56 miles from home all the lights and engine cut completely off at 80mph in the fast lane. I started to pray, “Lord, just let me coast to the side of the road and call for help.” I called the insurance company for a tow and called my husband and son to come get me. As I waited in the heat on the side of the road, I decided to record and post a motivational video. At the time I was recording, I didn’t remember what I had said until I went back and watched it later. The gist was to be resilient in the times of adversity and to focus on what one could learn from the experience. I was starting to recognize the women I hadn’t seen in a long time. The status of my vehicle was that the engine blew and it would cost $8K or more to fix. I asked the dealership to give me a day to think about it, but I already knew I wasn’t putting that kind of money into a 13-year old vehicle. Then it dawned on me, I already paid for my convention ticket to Dallas and the hotel room that was just two weeks away; what on earth was I going to do?

I hadn’t had a car payment since 2009!

I remembered that with the company I received my products from I could earn a luxury car bonus. I immediately got on my knees and prayed about what I should do. BMW came into my heart. I sat down and sent correspondence through BMW’s website. I explained my situation and al-

most immediately received a response from the General Manager (which I thought was strange) and made an appointment to meet with him the next day. I received the best customer service that day! I walked into that dealership on FAITH and walked out with a brand-new vehicle; it was April 11, 2016. Now, it was time to put my plan to work. I took a closer look at the LV Reward’s Plan realizing I needed to earn the rank of 12K VIP before I could earn the auto bonus. I had 14-days to achieve my goal by April 30, 2016, at 11:59 pm EST….

GLORY TO GOD… I DID IT with a day to spare!

I’ve worked from home sometimes in my PJs for the past two years. Although I’m former military, I found working out more challenging with general discomforts and not enough energy to even attempt to go to the gym.

Since obtaining clean all-day energy, I’ve incorporated a healthy daily workout routine, to include weighttraining, resistance, cardio, clean eating and my three simple steps that provides all the vitamins/minerals our bodies need to function at peak performance. I’ve lost a significant amount of weight and feel 15-years younger. My supplement routine can be complete before ever leaving home. I take two capsules as soon as my eyes open on an empty stomach before my feet hit the floor, I wait 20-30 minutes later to drink my pre/probiotic lifestyle mix, and place my foam DFT (derma fusion technology) to clean dry skin on a lean area of my body. I AM DONE FOR THE DAY! If you’re looking for a not so traditional homebusiness, this is your answer. What sets us apart from the other companies - I’m positive you’re asking yourself… right?

5 tips to create a personalized shed

Create an outdoor oasis with a personalized shed (BPT) - The backyard. It’s your oasis. Your happy place. Your second living room. It’s the place to go not only for “me” time — but quality time with friends and family.

This National Barbecue Month, the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association wants to help you make your backyard the best backyard it can be.

Think sheds. No, not your grandparents’ tattered shed filled with a dusty mower and 30-yearold paint brushes. We’re talking highly personalized sheds. Intimate covered spaces that keep the sun's rays out but bring the summer in.

Outdoor sheds come in all shapes and sizes and can be personalized to fit within all types of lifestyles. From fun-filled tapsheds where friends gather for a margarita and grilled salmon to an intimate she shed stocked with wine and cheese or even a hobby shed for the family to play board games while munching on braised ribs and root beer, sheds can do it all.

Building a personalized shed can be a daunting task. Consider these five tips to help you create your ideal outdoor oasis just in time for summer: 1. Have a plan: Are you starting from scratch or cleaning out an existing old shed? What’s the theme? What’s the budget? What’s the goal? How much room do you have to work with? Before you start building your shed, make sure you have a plan in place. You may be eager to jump right in but it’s much easier to follow a well-laid plan than to make decisions on the fly.

2. Stick to a theme: A craft shed, a relaxation shed, a party shed — there are so many options when it comes to creating your perfect shed. Choose one theme and tailor all decisions around your theme of choice. For example, if you decide to go with a relaxation shed, choose calming colors and peaceful decorations.

3. Utilize your resources: Your shed is a part of your outdoor space and you should utilize all the free beauty that nature has to offer when it comes to decorating your shed. Build your shed under your favorite tree to offer natural shade or decorate your shed with dried flowers or vines.

4. Less is more: When designing an outdoor shed, it is easy to go overboard. Remember to keep it simple and that you want to have enough room to entertain guests and to hang out in your shed. Keeping things minimal will also ensure you stay within your budget.

5. Remember the exterior: One easy way to customize your shed is with a coat of paint.

Choose a paint color that goes with your theme. Then invite friends and family over for a day of painting fun in the sun.

have been taking Keto for a while now and love how amazing it makes you feel, the energy it gives you, the way I sleep better at night and the fact that all my clothes are falling off now. Before I started taking keto I would always want to nap with my toddler in the afternoon because I was always so tired. Now that I have been drinking keto every day I now have tons of energy to get through the day.

I used to toss and turn all night and not sleep at night but since being on keto I sleep like a

HOW TO MAKE EDIBLE STARBURST SLIME: Ingredients 1 Bag of Starburst Candies Powdered Sugar Cornstarch (I believe it’s called corn flour in the UK) Instructions: Gather materials. You will want a couple of small glass bowls and a pot of water to cook on the stove. Divide the Starburst candies by color and unwrap. Place each color into a small glass bowl.

Mix ¼ c. powdered sugar with ¼ c. cornstarch.

Boil a pot of water and place the glass bowl into the pot to melt the Starburst candies.

(Making it like a double boiler). Stir regularly to prevent burning. Once melted, remove from heat.

Turn onto a surface dusted with the cornstarch and powdered sugar mixture. Wait about five minutes until cooled. It can burn you at this point, so REALLY be careful!

Knead the melted candy with the powdered sugar mixture. Be sure to pull it and stretch it as you knead to let a lot of air into it. This will help it to be less sticky and more stretchy.

Now it is time to play! Make sure to wash their hands first if they want to eat their Starburst slime. My kids wanted to immediately mix all of the colors and see how it looked.

IF IT LAST, store it in a sealed container for a few days.

How does it work? There is some science behind it. When the candy is melted and then kneaded, air bubbles are incorporated into the candy ( like taffy), making it lighter and stretchier.

Mother's Day or Teacher Appreciation Craft for Kids My daughter wanted to paint a pot for her flowers but she wanted a ‘rainbow pot’. Luckily, I had seen this awesome idea for a Rainbow Pour Pot from Dilly-Dali Art. Pop over to see the details at Dilly-Dali Art – she has a great tutorial for prepping and creating her pour pots.

Unfortunately, we aren’t always patient enough to follow a full tutorial (ah, life with kids!) but the ability to create a beautiful item from a messy process is what we love about this project!

Ours are really more of a 'squeeze' pot than a pour pot -- we didn't really pour the paint as you can see in the photos.

Craft Supplies for Rainbow Painted Pots: Here's what you need for each pot along with affiliate links to some of the items we used for the project: a clean Terra Cotta Pot (clay pots) - use any size but know that the larger the pot, the more paint you'll need Note: be sure you have a pot with a rought exterior and not one that has been coated with a waterproof finish -- the paint won't stick unless it's a a variety of acrylic paints (at a minimum, we would recommend 4 colors - you can see our choices below) Wax Paper newspaper to cover your work area a somewhat patient kid a smock! a must when painting with kids :) First, choose what paint colors you'd like to use.

We chose Acrylics Brights (Neon) Paints and used five different colors. They actually changed the colors in this set so the deeper blue is now a violet -- we used a deeper royal blue paint color in addition to the aqua on our pots.

We decided to apply the darker colors first and then cover those with the lighter colors. I'm sure you can do it either way (lighter colors first would work too).

TUG-OF-WAR WITH ZIPPERS IS NO FUN Children's clothes can be so fussy. Little snaps, copious buttons, pinchy, itchy parts - and don't get us started on zippers!

That's why our children's clothes are made to match a child's development both physical and social.

They can dress themselves, get more independent and give parents a break.

Another reason why customers love our Beans!
