I am excited to announce that I will soon be doing a giveaway with the pet shampoo! I will update you when it starts so keep your eyes open for a chance to win some free pet shampoo and if you are a previous blog subscriber BEFORE the contest starts I will also throw in a little gift for you too! So follow me now and be ready to enter the giveaway when it is time!!!

Pamper your Furry Friends!

Are you aware that Hand Made Natural Beauty has a wonder pet line? And check out how cute this pet basket is!

This is the perfect gift for someone with pets when you need something for them. Also great for new pet owners.

I can personally attest that the Dog Shampoo is really awesome and all natural. It lathers nicely and a little goes a long way. It also leaves your pet smelling lemony fresh when you are done.

The mint cream included in this basket it great for irritated skin on your pet. I have a bassett and she has skin folds in her front underarms. She does get irritated there at times and I rub some of the mint cream on her and it helps so much. She likes to lick it too and being all natural it doesn't hurt her!

Does your vacuum smell like pet when you use it? The Carpet Fresh is a good option. Use some of this when you vacuum and it helps decrease the odor!

There is also Oatmeal Citronella dog soap in this and this is a great soap to use when skin is irritated and also helps repel mosquitos when outside.

I LOVE the HNB line of pet products and you can't go wrong. So whether you order separately or in a gift basket you will love these items!

Muscle Aches?

One of my favorite HNB products is the Ache Away Muscle Rub! This is all natural and is made with Emu Oil and Camphor which work wonders! I get a lot of neck aches from being on the computer and because I have bulging discs. I just rub a little of this on my neck and it does it's magic!

I have also found another use for the rub. My dear husband was working in the yard and it was getting dark and he got loads of mosquito bites that were driving him nuts. He couldn't stand it. I convinced him to try a little of the Ache Away on the bites and he got immediate relief from the itching.

I am a snorer as well and hubby has noticed that the nights I use this rub on my neck, I do not snore as much. The camphor must open my sinuses.

This muscle rub is awesome and I have to tell you that when you use it you do not smell like you just used a muscle rub like lots of the store rubs do. It is also aspirin free for those that need to avoid aspirin products.

Summer is here and it is time for pulled muscles and bug bites! Don't wait till it't too late, get some now so you have it when you need it!

Working From Home: Do You Know What You Want?

Thanks to Sophia for sharing her knowledge and experience with us and doing this guest blog post for me! She is awesome!

Working From Home: Do You Know What You Want?

Many people like the idea of working from home, but it's not always so cut and dry as there are many things to consider before transitioning into working at home.

The problem people find themselves in is deciding what they want to do and how to go about it. Do they want a telecommute job or a home business or perhaps both to supplement their primary income? I often see people who come unprepared, disorganized and completely lost. No one in the world can help you if YOU don't know what you want.

You have to know what you want to do. Will it be work for a remote employer, own a home business, promote affiliate products or make money online some other way, or a combination of few ways to bring additional income?

How much do you need to make in a month? Be realistic because in the beginning it could be a slow start especially when it comes to a home business and other money making opportunities. Even if you have a telecommuting job you may have to work several jobs or take on smaller jobs to meet your income goal.

Cover letters and resumes are key pieces to being successful in gaining work at home employment. Take the time to craft your resume and cover letters and remember to tweak them so they have the most relevant information for the position you're applying for.

There are many places you can look for work at home companies and a good place to start is search for work at home sites or forums and freelance sites. These places offer free listings of reputable companies who hire remote workers. Other more common and larger sites are CareerBuilder.com, Monster.com, and Yahoo.com. Don't count out Craigslist.org because there are reputable gems to be found. The key is research every lead you find unless stated otherwise and be consistent. Apply, apply, apply.

Having your own home business is also very rewarding, but it takes a lot of commitment and sacrifices. Whether you join a Direct Sales company or start your own business, choose something you're passionate about and there's a demand for it.

If you're looking for a work at home job, or home business, it will most likely have upfront fees. For a work at home job you may have to pay for a background check, purchase equipment like a headset or upgrade your computer. If you have your own business, there'll be fees for your Direct Sales company or if you start a Virtual Assistant business, you'll need a website and hosting.

The Internet is a huge place with a lot of valuable resources at your fingertips. There are also tons of people who are willing to pay it forward so you're not alone. The only thing you need to do is know what you want and the rest will fall into place.

Handmade Natural Beauty

I want to introduce you all the Handmade Natural Beauty with my favorite product! I just LOVE the Whipped Body Cream in Cranberry Almond scent. It is a nice soft scent and the shea butter softens but does not leave you feeling greasy afterwards like some lotions can. I use this on my legs after shaving and on my arms where steroids have made my skin dry and it helps me a great deal!

To quote the HNB site:
"
Moisturizing Shea Butter Whipped Body Creams


You'll be amazed with the luxurious texture of this line of shea butter whipped body cream which leaves no greasy residue and is alcohol-free! Enriched with Shea Butter and beeswax, among other high-quality skin-nourishing oils, such as jojoba oil, you're sure to see why natural is best. Historically, Shea Butter is reported to be helpful for:
• Dry skin conditions including eczema and psoriasis.
• Minor skin irritations.
• Healing of scars.
• Preventing or reducing stretch marks.

Makes a wonderful natural face cream. The Non-Scented and Lavender Shea Butter Whipped Body Creams are the top recommendations for face."

There are lots of awesome scents to enjoy this cream in so take a look and see what you like! http://www.naturalbeautysoaps.net/whippedbodycreams.html
