Not only will your home thank you... your family will thank you for leaving those harsh chemical concoctions at the store.<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/stone"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 53px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 56px" height="61" alt="" src="http://www.watkinsonline.com/images/products/thumbnails/LemonPolish_16776.jpg" border="0" /></a>Living Rooms: Using J.R. Watkins Lemon Furniture Polish and a good microfiber cloth dust all the surfaces in your living room. This gentle polish is perfect for finished and unfinished wood, formica, particle board and vinyl. And because it is made from natural olive oil, it gently loosens and removes fingerprints, smudges and dirt. Here's a quick tip: Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter. It sucks up dust particles and doesn't spit them back out, so you don't have to dust what you have already dusted! </div><br /><br /><div>Kitchen: Many dishwashing detergents have a dirty little secret — they contain phosphates.<a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/stone"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 45px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 43px" height="43" alt="" src="http://www.watkinsonline.com/images/products/thumbnails/AutoDish_16780.jpg" border="0" /></a> These agents find their way into our lakes and ponds where they endanger our fish. Have a phosphate intervention with your dishwasher, J.R. Watkins Automatic Lemon Dishwashing Detergent can help. Its 100% phosphate free. The concentrated power will make your dishes and glasses sparkle without the need to overflow your dishwasher's detergent cups. </div><br /><div>Bedrooms: We spend one third of our lives in bed. Make it time well spent with J.R. Watkins<a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/stone"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 56px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 52px" height="96" alt="" src="http://www.watkinsonline.com/images/products/thumbnails/LaundryDetergent_16741.jpg" border="0" /></a> Liquid Laundry Detergent. Wash bed linens and small rugs with this ultra concentrated formula. It is gentle enough for baby clothes, so you know it won't irritate sensitive skin. Quick tip: Vacuum your mattress. The common mattress harbors dust mites, these critters feast on dander and dead skin and really like to hang around. Vacuuming won't eliminate them, but it will cut their population.</div><br /><div>Bathrooms: Do you have to hold your breath when cleaning your shower? If you answered y<a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/stone"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 57px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 55px" height="77" alt="" src="http://www.watkinsonline.com/images/products/thumbnails/TubAndTile_16788.jpg" border="0" /></a>es, it's time to ditch your cleaner and come to the greener side with J.R. Watkins Citrus Tub & Tile Cleaner. Just a light mist on your shower walls will drive away hard water stains and soap scum. And since it is naturally derived you can finally inhale when cleaning in small spaces. Simply spray, let sit and wipe. Quick tip: A small scrub or tooth brush will help clean grout and corner areas.And one final tip we would like to mention that applies to your entire home. </div><br /><div>Check dirt at the door. The soles of our shoes meet a lot of toxic pollutants throughout th<a href="http://www.tsginfo.com/index.php?rc=BA4743"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 58px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 61px" height="100" alt="" src="http://www.watkinsonline.com/images/products/thumbnails/AGTAllPurpose_16781.jpg" border="0" /></a>e day. Make it a habit for you and your family to check their shoes at the door. And when you find dirt has been tracked in, a quick sweep and mop with J.R. Watkins All-Purpose Cleaner will do the trick!</div><br /><div>Courtesy of <a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/stone">Watkins e-News</a></div></div></div></div></div>~Biancahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08407892402612686577noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987429492087188255.post-72874566874579152102008-07-28T18:59:00.004-05:002008-07-28T19:29:23.617-05:00Good and Green<a href="http://www.tsginfo.com/index.php?rc=BA4743"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 179px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" height="149" alt="" src="http://www.watkinsonline.com/images/store/HGroupUmx8_OS.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#333333;">What is Green?</span></strong></div><br /><div><span style="color:#009900;">"Green" living is a way of life that considers the consequences of ones actions on the environment. It is a way of conducting life in an effort to preserve environmental quality.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#009900;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#009900;">Watkins is taking steps to preserve environmental quality in all of our product categories. But in this newsletter we want to focus on how our natural home care line is a step ahead of the rest.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#009900;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#009900;">Unlike food, the home care category has no governing agency that defines what ingredients are and are not considered "natural." Watkins wanted to make sure that when we called our cleaning products natural, it really meant something. So we decided to set a new standard, and we set it high. The natural standard we defined became our natural home care freedom code. This code includes ingredients that are considered harmful to the environment that you will not find in our home care products. Some are simply non-renewable like Petroleum, some can cause respiratory irritation like Ammonia, while others are just synthetics like dyes and colorants. Watkins has been working hard to set the industry standard for natural home care products and we are proud to say that there is no other natural cleaning brand in the country that holds themselves to a higher standard or a stricter freedom code than Watkins. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#009900;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#009900;">Now what does this freedom code mean to you and your customers? It means you get to use a product that truly is natural from a company committed to supplying you with natural products. And it really gives you an edge over the competition. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#009900;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#009900;">Set yourself and your customers free with Watkins! </span></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Courtesy of <a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/stone">Watkins e-News</a></div>~Biancahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08407892402612686577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987429492087188255.post-87035435537460995442008-07-23T10:53:00.004-05:002008-07-23T11:01:34.556-05:00You're Invited to a Special Conference call!<div align="center"><br /><div align="center"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"><strong>We're holding a special conference call this Saturday morning, July 26, 2008</strong></span></div><br /><ul><br /><li><br /><span style="color:#000099;">By listening to the call, you'll know for sure whether it makes sense for you to join our Watkins team or not.<br /></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000099;">The call place at 10:45am Central Time.<br /></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000099;">That's 8:45am Pacific, 9:45am Mountain, or 11:45am Eastern Time.<br /></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000099;">Our Summit Group founder Steve Bretzke and leader Jan Robinson will be telling you and many other prospective associates how the Watkins business can work for them.<br /></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000099;">You don't have to talk or even say that you've called in.

They are a great source for iron vitamin A, potassium, manganese, vitamin K and Calcium. Not to mention a good source for dietary fiber.<br /><br />Many fruits and vegetables you harvest from your garden this fall can be pickled and enjoyed throughout the Winter season.

Not only is it flavorful, adds moisture to your meals, it's healthy for you. Also, the price on our oil is awesome!<br /><br />I love how I can alter the taste with our various dip mixes. Some of my favorites are the<a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productsgroup.cfm?Parent=26&gCatalogLocale=USA&ECredit=358211"> tomato & basil </a>and the <a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productsgroup.cfm?Parent=26&gCatalogLocale=USA&ECredit=358211">sesame garlic</a>.

The Egyptians highly prized it as a health and diet food and Plinius described it as the 'food for the rich' because of the health problems contributed to a 'rich' life style - excessive in rich foods, fats and wine that led to liver illnesses (such as cirrhosis), gout and a general run down condition.<br /><br />Today we know that the artichoke is very high in fibre, potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other trace elements important for a balanced system. It is known to positively help poor liver function (thus helping to lower the blood cholesterol), arteriosclerosis, gout, supports the treatment of hepatitis and improves the gall secretions. It can slightly lower the blood sugar, improve the appetite and digestion, is diuretic and may help some migraine conditions (most especially those caused by toxins in the blood). As it helps the body rid itself of excess water and moves toxins it also has the added side effect of an improved skin luminosity.<br /><br /><br /><br />Courtesy of: www.epicureantable.com~Biancahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08407892402612686577noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987429492087188255.post-67341040978088155512008-01-04T14:51:00.000-05:002008-01-04T14:58:31.584-05:00<span style="font-family:georgia;"><strong>Goat Cheese Dip</strong></span><br /><br /><em>Ingredients<br /></em>6 ounce(s) cheese, goat cheese, crumbled, reduced fat<br />1 tablespoon yogurt, fat-free plain<br />3-4 tbsp of <a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productdetail.cfm?Product=02055&gCatalogLocale=USA">Watkins Cucumber & Dill Dip Mix</a> (use ID# 358211)<br /> ~ <a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productsgroup.cfm?Parent=26&gCatalogLocale=USA">Available in 8 other flavors</a> (use ID# 358211)<br /><a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productdetail.cfm?Product=01943&gCatalogLocale=USA">Parsley</a> (use ID# 358211)<br />fresh raw vegetables for dipping<br /><br /><em>Preparation</em><br />Put the cheese, yogurt, and dip mix in bowl and blend.
