The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Theraganics They say good things come in small packages.

They each had their own set of problems that were brought to the table, leading to their mission that continues to fuel their passion in what they do. Theraganics products are handcrafted by them from scratch using many organic luxury base oils and are superior performing. The addition of clays, herbs, teas, and real fruits/veggies makes each product truly unique and purposeful. Stephanie suffered from facial and body acne for most of her pre-teen through adult life. It affected her self esteem and she just about had given up with the idea of getting rid of her troubled skin after using everything in the main stream retail market. It wasn't until she decided to make her own soap did she realize she had stumbled upon something wonderful that helped her skin like nothing else had before. Her mission and focus became to help others and spread the word about using natural soap and minimizing the use of unnecessary ingredients. After perfecting her recipes over the course of several years, she took her products to market and has received nothing but rave reviews from loyal repeat customers. Jennifer gave birth to a wonderful baby boy named Luke in April of 2005. Luke developed normally until about 18 months when he stopped talking and started showing signs that something was wrong. He was later diagnosed with autism, which explained his many sensory problems. He was sensitive to sounds and smells, and had allergic reactions to many common bath products. Jennifer started using some of Stephanie's soap on her son. Surprisingly, Luke enjoyed the scents and his skin did not have any bad reactions. Her mission then became to spread the word about the benefits of avoiding unnecessary chemicals in our everyday lives and to tell Luke's story in an effort to help families affected by autism. |
