Jen changes her life

Hello Lighter Living Members and Visitors. My name is Jennifer Plasha and I am the LighterLiving Store Manager. I have already spoken to a few of you but I would like to share my story with you.
 
A few years ago I worked for Core Products International, the manufacturer of the Soothe-A-Ciser and the Corpak Hot and Cold packs. We were attempting to sell the Soothe-A-Ciser on QVC and our first airing was a flop.

Marjolein saw the amazing benefits of this product and offered to promote it on QVC and I was given the task of making that happen. I first spoke with her on the phone and was immediately impressed with her energy and intelligence, but the really, truly, wonderful experience was meeting her in person.

Bach Flower Remedies
In 1930 Dr. Edward Bach believed that disease was caused by disharmony in one's state of mind. It seems that there really does exist a strong connection between what the mind thinks and how the body responds. Dr. Bach developed an entire homeopathic healing system, directed at the emotional outlook of a person, using flower essences as his remedies. A simple questionaire allows a person to determine which remedy to take in order to restore peace of mind and thus allow the body to heal. .

Robby's Night by Mildred Hondorf

I am a former elementary school music teacher from Des Moines, Iowa and for over 30 years

I have supplemented my income by teaching piano lessons.
