5 Reasons Why YOUR Business Needs Facebook NOW!

Many of us have come to realize in this economy the only way to truly be successful is to own your own home-based or internet-based business.  The tax advantages alone make it a no-brainer to jump into an internet/direct marketing business like Market America.

But just because you have the start up capital (example: Market America is a mere $399 plus tax for a "business in a box") doesn't mean you have the marketing skill to get the word out about your new biz.

Lucky for you Facebook is always changing.  Don't get freaked by new layouts and news feeds.  The new Facebook is a gold mine for new customers!  Need proof?  Here are 5 reasons why you need to get your new business on Facebook, NOW!

Affordable Cream for Rosacea & Wrinkles!

I have always had problem skin.  I've tried countless products over the years to combat my acne, rosacea and oily skin.  I have seen dermatologists and paid out of pocket for prescriptions and expensive "sold by doctors" only solutions.  I shopped my way through all the department store brands looking for something to heal my skin.  And I've even tried lotions and creams from the drug store, hoping for an affordable cure.

But I'm proud to say that at 42 years of age my skin is looking the best it has looked since I was 10 years old (when my acne started) thanks to Timeless Prescription Face Firming Moisturizer with MDI Complex.  This weightless cream quenches my skins thirst, absorbing instantaneously without leaving a greasy feeling.  

The magic is the MDI Complex.  MDI COMPLEX Is a marine enzyme composed of fish cartilage extract.  I know it sounds icky, but it works!

It inhibits collagenase that destroy the skins collagen network.  It also dramatically lightens dark circles, alleviates redness caused by damaged capillaries, and reduces damage caused by UV rays from the sun.

Clinical trials have demonstrated MDI Complex's potential to improve the protective functions of the skin as well as to decrease skin redness, reduce the appearance of spider veins, reduce the appearance of dark eye circles, increase skin firmness and elasticity, retard the appearance of skin sagging and fine lines and reduce damage caused by sun exposure.

MDI Complex® is recommended for the prevention of dark circles under and around the eyes, stellate veins, rosacea and varicose veins.

Another great reason to use Timeless Prescription Face Firming Moisturizer with MDI Complex, it is an AM and PM creme!  Just make sure to use a foundation (like Motives Liquid Powder Foundation with SPF 15) with sunscreen as this product does not have SPF.

Bottom line, I believe Timeless Prescription Face Firming Moisturizer with MDI Complex is why I'm finally happy with my skin!

The BEST Money Saving Tip for Back To School Shopping!

Back to school shopping for three kids used to mean a big dent in my wallet!  We used to walk in the store with our lists of what we must have and walk out with bags full of the necessities PLUS those impulse-shopping items.  Just thinking about walking into the store gets me so angry knowing that stores target our kids by putting tempting (and of course expensive) items like angry birds flash drives at the checkout.

So, this year I took a stand for my sanity and my budget!  I sat down in front of my computer and had each

of my three kids sit with me one at a time.  We started at Shop.com, a shopping portal that offers cashback for purchases made at online partner stores, like Staples, Office Depot & Target.  I picked the store with the best cashback rewards, which happened to be Staples (4% cashback) and together we filled up our online shopping cart with ONLY the items on our list.

Not only was I able to take advantage of the same deals available "in store" (a savings of about $12.00) but I also earned $4.87 cash back and my entire order will be shipped FREE arriving at my door in one business day.  But even better than saving money, was saving my sanity...I didn't have to leave the comfort of my kitchen to fight for a parking space or stand on long lines.  It was a quick, easy and stress free experience.

Now that's a great way to start off the school year!
