Re: What is Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate?

I wouldn't panic over that particular relationship... it would be very distantly related to sodium hydroxide.. and if any of you have used homemade soaps- you are commonly using lye for that.

Hi Jan,

I have heard of NeriumAD, and unfortunately, it is preserved heavily with Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate I would not use Nerium myself under any situation.

Hi Ed-

I just now saw your thoughtful response to the preservation question.

I am not a scientist in skin care, generally stick to nutrition. The skin care product that I was referring to uses a number of ways to keep the integrity of the product to industry standards.

The main approach is a patented liquid crystal technology.

In addition to that is a carefully controlled water availability, pH control, manufacturing in a "clean room" facility, and method of packaging ( avoiding any open jars).

I know they also use dual-use ingredients, but am unclear if parfum is used in that way. I had thought that many of the antioxidants used are also preservatives.

Best,
Robin

Re: Using Google+ Hangouts On Air & Events To Grow Visibility By Engaging Target Customers

Thanks for the info on google hangouts. Are there many baby boomers using these? I've wanted to utilize them more frequently, but have trouble getting others to come "hang out". Maybe sharing your page and educating is the answer :)

There is only one company that I know of which has a patent on self-preserving skin care without any of these synthetic chemicals or irritating essential oils. How are the Pai Skincare preserved?

Re: Nia Wellness Solutions: The hCG dieter...

RobinThomas — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 11:28:16 -0000

I agree, Natasha! The only way to true wellness is to make small steps toward a healthier lifestyle that you can keep up the rest of your life. Quick fix diets just won't make it. Sure, you may lose some weight for the time being, but you will always "find" it again... along with some of it's friends. You will be happier and healthier when you have incorporated healthy living into your daily life.

Hi Robert,

Connect.it sounds like it will leverage my time significantly! @anisesmith let me know about it, and I'd love an invite to try it for myself. Great video, btw.

The healthy diet should eliminate as many processed foods as possible: stay with fresh or frozen veggies and fruits. Add Usanimals to their healthy diet, and they're immune system will thank you ;~) Robin

Re: Feb. 29th New Facebook: 6 Things you Need to Know

RobinThomas — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 16:06:50 -0000

Great article- it saved me time checking out the new fb changes. I actually welcome most of these changes- it will streamline my fb experience, and I won't be jumping all over the place to check on articles and friends. I know some people just don't ever like change.. unfortunately for them, social media and technology is always about change... we just need to roll with it :~) Robin

Thanks Karin- I enjoyed reading this, was reminded of some ideas we had in Social Traffic, and learn some new ones. I hadn't thought of asking friends of friends... makes so much sense!

Hi Rebecca,
I've been seeing these codes all over the place! They're even on USANA's individual am and pm packets of their daily vitamins :~) Unfortunately, I don't have a mobile device that can read them.... yet. Guess I'll start looking into that soon. Thanks for the info!

Re: To lose the weight, lose the wait!

This is great, Jenna! I know how difficult it is when one gets in the mindset of "it won't work, I'm just that way" limiting beliefs. My son has Diabetes Type 1 with resulting brain injury since infancy (he's now 21) and he is constantly working on his own belief system. By balancing your life holistically, mentally, spiritually, and by focusing on enjoying life, eating right, and making exercise fun, you are a wonderful example. :~)

Thank you for sharing this with so many! You are truly living your life to the fullest!

My largest frustration is feeling like I have social media ADD... I keep jumping from one platform to another. Right now I'm focusing on FB, Twitter, LinkedIN and blogging, and occasional bookmarking, but even that seems to stretch me too thin. What, in your opinion, is the best overall strategy for branding online?? Fan pages, profiles, tweeting, Oh my!

Thanks Karin,
I'll try that approach.

Re: 05 - Bookmarking sites

RobinThomas — Tue, 26 May 2009 15:26:53 -0000

I've been using iGoogle- need to review the widgets again that are useful to me, especially googlereader and friendfeed. Do you know if there is a way to pull in my gmail app domain email into iGoogle? I will also need to set aside a specific time- with a definite stop time for reviewing information. Information overload is still the largest time sink for me... now is the time for me to start putting it all into action.

Re: 04 - Stumbleupon

RobinThomas — Tue, 26 May 2009 14:34:15 -0000

It does make me think twice about automating. I have been using twitterfeed for introducing new blog additions from others. I may need to adapt that strategy... I have been so confused and annoyed by the friendfeed. Too much information overload... Is there a way to reduce the noise of friendfeed besides having mutliple accounts?

Having Google Reader to help manage this information is vital- I don't know what I would do without in now.

Re: 03 - Digg

RobinThomas — Tue, 26 May 2009 14:12:18 -0000

Doug, Bruce and Jonathan I particularly like your comments here. Approaching this strategy with a mindset of not being self-serving, forming teams that instruct and share quality information, will only raise your value to others. The fact that Google and Facebook and are so strict about spam is benefitial to this strategy. Niches can be as flexible as needed, though the old strategies of adding everyone and his brother as "friends" is counterproductive. I have already found some excellent niche sites that I am currently observing, making a few comments, and slowly developing relationships with members.
