Whew....have I been on a hiatus or what?! My last post here was July 30, 2009, that is a long time for certain.

I have had some family issues that needed to be dealt with, still have issues and they are being dealt with but I'm back on track with my L'Bri business and more.

In August I attended L'Bri's annual convention and had a great time meeting other L'Bri consultants, and learning lots. We have some new products that are absolutely outstanding!

Check out the new products here..click on what's new on the menu bar at the top of the page.

I am even more excited about my L'Bri business and have many plans to build this business big and bigger!

After the L'Bri Convention of 2009, I was able to visit my best friend who lived in Wisconsin at the time and had an amazing discovery! I DO have a creative bone in my body!!

For years I told myself and others I don't have a creative bone in my body. My girlfriend had been telling me for years that I could make jewelry, I didn't believe it then.

While I was visiting her, we celebrated our birthdays and she gave me a necklace and bracelet set that she had made. It is a beautiful set, but the first time I had put it on it broke.

I told my friend she would have to fix it for me before I left to go back home. No problem, she said, and proceeded to repair the jewelry.

WOW, were my eyes opened, that looked very easy to do. When I finally made it back home, I decided to try it for myself. I purchased the supply I needed, and wallah....I created!!

I am starting a blog about the pieces I have created, and would love to have opinions on what you think. My new blogs title is Tricia's Treasures, and the web address is www.beadingbytricia.blogspot.com check it out and express your opinion by commenting on the posts.

It is also where dead animals are sent t0o, most of these animals have died from disease.

So what are the cosmetic manufacturers doing with these animal bi-products?

They are making ingredients for their skin care products. Anything that includes the ingredients glycerine, linoleic acid, oleic acid, steric acid, tallow, meat or bone meal are rendering plant source products.

Spotlight on L'Bri's Rejuvenating Enzyme Facial Peel

I was asked the other day what my favorite L'Bri Pure n' Natural aloe based skin care product was. I'd never really thought about it before, but that is a real tough question to answer.

I like ALL of L'Bri's products. So I did think about the question, and although I do like all of the products, L'Bri's Rejuvenating Enzyme Facial Peel would have to be one of my favorites.

This is a WOW product for certain!

To exfoliate my skin when it looked like this picture was rough. I knew then the importance of exfoliating my skin regularly, but I didn't do that as often as I should have. It actually hurt to exfoliate.

Please Note this is not a good picture of me!

Although I was extremely skeptical of any exfoliating product for my facial skin, I did the peel and WOW, was I ever suprised. Not only did this aloe based Facial Peel NOT burn and scratch my skin, my skin was delightfully soft afterwards.

I had used apricot scrubs, sea salt scrubs and many other scrub type products to try and exfoliate my facial skin without the pain, but those didn't work. I had thought about going to a spa and getting a professional skin peel, but that would cost me over $100 and would be only a one shot deal.

If it worked at the spa, I would want to go regularly, which could get quite expensive.

When I did finally try L'Bri Pure n' Natural Rejuvenating Enzyme Facial Peel, I was absolutely amazed. This product is very similiar to those professional facial peels you get at a spa, but at a fraction of the cost.

And it is NOT just a one time deal, you can have a regular gentle exfoliating facial without pain and without the hefty cost.

Natural Aloe Vera Gel for Cuts, Scrapes, Burns and More

Have you ever burnt yourself so badly there was no relief from the stinging pain? Has your child fallen and scraped his/her knee or elbow so bad the bandaids just were not helping?

L'Bri's Aloe Jelly is a product no home should be without, especially those of you with children in the house.

Last month, I was coming out of the doctors office and I fell and scraped myself up pretty bad. I even had to go back into the doctors office and was told I needed stiches in my elbow. EEK...I am nearly 45 years old and haven't had stiches since I was 'yo high'.

I tried to refute the claim that I did need stiches, but I eventually gave in and did get them. When they did the stiches they wrapped up my elbow and it was definitely hard to move it. They told me not to remove the wrap from my elbow for at least 24 hours.

After my regimented 24 hours, I removed the bandage from my elbow and started putting L'Bri Aloe Jelly on it. After putting the aloe jelly on my elbow, it did NOT sting as badly.

Back to the doctors one week later to have the stiches removed, and my doctor was amazed at how well my elbow had healed. He told me I probably could have had the stiches removed sooner.

Back to my fall: I scraped up my elbow, back and my right hand (tried to catch myself - didn't work). When I finally got home I started putting L'Bri Aloe Jelly everywhere I was scraped up.

I was amazed within 2 days most of the scrapes were healed up. I was also amazed at the fact that the aloe jelly actually soothed the scrapes, stopping them from stinging so bad.

I have known for years that aloe vera gel helps burns, but I never would have thought to put it on a cut or a scrape. It truly helped heal my skin quickly.

Other Aloe Jellies found in beach shops and drug stores are not nearly as effective as L'Bri's Aloe Jelly. Most of these products contain synthetic dyes and chemicals that do nothing to help your skin. Trust only totally clear, pure aloe jelly.

Check out this article to see even more benefits of L'Bri's Pure Aloe Jelly.

Have a sunny day!
