Guest guest Posted March 27, 2000 Report Share Posted March 27, 2000 Hi Tami, Boy did I need this today. I was determined to just rest today, but I couldn't help myself and decided to try to get the Reflexology booklet to look a little better, HELP! I am usually pretty creative so I like doing some of this myself, besides the fact that most of the information is in my little head, so I am the one who has to first create it. Woop, I need to breathe. It does not want to look the way I want it to look. Tami, when I read it I felt a calm joy come over me. Your wonderful message and messages like this are what keep me going when I have so much to do. Knowing that what I am doing here is making such a difference in your lives is so satisfying. It really is so exciting that I just want everyone to feel this good. My video editor made a very sweet comment about the condition of my skin, face and body. It really did make me feel great and I want everyone to feel this great about themselves. You deserve to feel fabulous about everything! I am so grateful that you share your experiences so that everyone can feel as great as we do. Tami, I will guess that your husband liked checking out your progress. LOL. What a lucky guy, he is!

This is my third day, and there is such a remarkable difference,that I had to ask my hubby if I was imagining it. Those ugly little dimples that we get on the sides of our thighs, come on girls, you know the ones, don't pretend you don't have them too! Anyway, they are almost completely gone. My skin looks about as smooth as my 12 1/2 year old daughter. If anyone is struggling with cellulite, or knows someone that has this struggle, I would definitely recommend putting this on your wish list. Or, better yet, tell your beloved family members, like I did, begging and pleading for a gift of the Haines body care system. Tami, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2000 Report Share Posted March 27, 2000 Tami, I am so very thrilled for you! Awesome! I am on my second day of trying the wrap and feel like I can see a difference already. I think I will wait till the end of the week and show my hubby and see what he says. He did say yesterday as I was walking out of church that he could really tell a difference in my body! I do have a question though. Do you wear something tight all day long or just in the morning and evening as you do your breathing. Congrats again on your loss!

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Gail, Just wanted to reply to your post to Rashelle. I, too, have very, very sensitive skin. Most of the product, especially the high end ones, cause me to break out into hives and blotches. It's terrible. You probably know exactly what I'm talking about. Anyway, I haven't had a bit of trouble with Rashelle's skin care line. I was actually and quite surprised, since it has such a nice scent to it, and normally, anything that even had a hint of a feminine smell, would send me into fits. This has a very light, natural type of scent that seems like it's floating by on the wings of a summer breeze. I, too, have put the cellulite and fat loss cream on my hands, with cotton gloves over them and worn them to bed. In the morning, that puffiness is definitely reduced. My sisters used to love to squeeze my hands and call them playdough! Even when I was painfully thin, my hands were not. Same with my feet. So, this has been a true miracle for me, because even while being in the business of modeling beauty, no one had any real help to offer in this area. Nothing very permanent, that's for sure! Hope you'll be able to give the skin care line a try, I know you would love it!

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Rashelle, What is in this stuff that makes it work? I had not been considering ordering any of the skin care products, but when I read this (about the shoes being loose) I was floored. Then I remembered a post a little while back where someone said her rings were loose after applying one of the skin care products. I have really chubby fingers (much chubbier than the rest of my body by comparison) and I do not know of any way to loose finger fat. Would you be willing to post an ingredient list? Or, would that be giving away a trade secret. I am very cautious about what I put on my skin since it is very sensitive. My husbands company puts out a cellulite cream (which I have never tried since I don't have cellulite) but, I think it has ephedra in it, which can be a very scary drug.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Hi Tami, Aren't you clever to put this on your feet and hands. I say put it anywhere you want to shrink, firm or tighten. I use it on my face every night to keep my cheeks sculpted and to keep the double chin away. My brother used to call me tortilla cheeks, not a very pretty image, so I am always working on keeping the cheeks and chin nice.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Thanks Tami, You all benefit from my sensitivity to fragrance and everything else. I actually break out in hives near a perfume counter and I read every label before I will apply anything to my skin. Since I had the good fortune to train with one of the finest skin care cosmetic chemists for several years I am very aware of product ingredients. I found that enlarged pores and sagging skin can easily come from using some of even the most expensive products. The fillers they use to make it look like you are getting more product can be down right unbelievable.

It is a nice way to close my day and prayers for strength and endurance being sent on angel's wings straight to you. God made our paths cross for a reason.

Ron's Mom is still hanging on. She is down to 92 pounds, doesn't eat or drink and is on constant morphine for pain of unknown etiology. She is doing better at 87 than I am at my age. Well, tomorrow is another day and will face it with optimism if for no one other than my girls. God certainly has put some hurdles on my road of life!

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 Debs, My gosh I wish they could get down to the root of all of this. You have been through so much and each time takes a toll on your body and that much to get back again. What do the doctors say they think the cause of this is? There is no place like home and how wonderful that you made it home just in time for Mother's Day. I am sure that means a lot to your family. Last year I had major abdominal surgery 2 days before Mother's Day and so couldn't enjoy the things we usually do on Mother's Day with my family. Hope to make up for it this year (lol). Hope you are comfortable, content, and peaceful today. Will keep you in my prayers. Terri [ ] Hi Guys! > Well, I am trying this HOME thing again!

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 Dearest, Sweet Debs...it's so good to hear from you. Hurdles, indeed, kiddo! I think you'd qualify for the Olympics at this point. You know how the Bible says to " ...pray without ceasing... " ? When I think of you, there so much love in my heart, so much desire for your healing, it's like my heart sends my pleadings to God without a spoken word...happens everytime I think of you. You are so much loved. Have a WONDERFUL Mother's Day! Soak up all the love and attention and affection. God bless you & yours, dear one. Always & Forever....

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 Welcome home again Debs. It's great that you are back home. Did the doctors ever check out your other knee replacement to check it for infection? You surely don't have to ask me to keep you in my prayers. You've been in my daily prayers since this all started. I hope this was your last battle to fight. a > Well, I am trying this HOME thing again!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hi everyone. I just wanted to check in and let you know that I am okay. I have a lot going on. My father in law had his lung removed last Friday and my mother in law ended up in the hospital on the same day. I think I had mentioned that she had fallen while she was on her own, well it seems she broke her hip but wouldn't have it looked at. On friday while we were at the hospital waiting to hear about my father in law, it seems she laid down to take a nap and twisted just right and made the break move so she was not able to move. We had her taken to the hospital by ambulance. It was an eventful day. Now I am waiting to find out what is going to happen because they are both in need of full time care and don't have any insurance or anything and don't have the money to pay for that kind of care. It is very hard, but they will figure it all out. It went back and forth as to whether I could help with anything or not, but being that I am not really family I can't do anything for either of them. All I can offer is moral support at this point. I went back home this past Thursday and it was wonderful to be home again and sleeping in my own bed. One good thing has come of this though. There has been a fella...a friend of my brother in law who just passed away, who has helped the family out tremendously. Well, there seems to be a bit more developing out of this than him just helping the family. We have really made a strong connection. Sometimes we both just kind of giggle like kids thinking about it because it is just so strange. But then again God does put us where we belong at the right times. One of my friends at worked asked me if he was good looking...and I honestly don't see it that way...he is not really anything that special...he's a bit heavy set...but he shines to me as far as personality and what he is all about. That matters more to me than anything. I know a long time ago I decided that I would not settle for anything but someone who would treat me right and so far all is good. We are taking it slowly...especially because he lives in Naples and I live in Lehigh. But, we will see what happens and I'll keep you all updated as things go on. Anyway, just wanted to check in to let you guys know that all is well with us, we are over at my friend's house right now, the boys are playing on the Wii game system and having a blast, and I'm here on the computer for a few minutes. Well, take care all. I will check in again as soon as I am able. Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Carol J You sound like you found a good man. My husband and I talked and giggled a lot when we first met, and I never even thought about his looks at all. I’m so happy for you, keep us updated. I am sorry about your ex in-laws though. Most states have some kind of help for those that have no money or insurance though, so hopefully they will be well taken care of.
