A Healthy Toothbrush For Eugene Kids

May 18th, 2012 by Kathy Wells

A Healthy Toothbrush For Eugene Kids

As a parent of active Eugene children, I’m sure you’re always on the lookout for places where germs lurk, and you probably know that toothbrushes have the potential to grow a lot of bacteria. However, there are some simple rules you can follow in your Seattle, WA area home to keep your child’s toothbrush (and your kid’s mouth) as healthy as possible.

One of the best ways to limit bacterial growth on a toothbrush is to allow it to dry completely between uses. This is best done by storing the toothbrush in a toothbrush holder on the counter, not tucked away in a drawer where air flow is limited.

A toothbrush holder is superior to a cup because it’s important that neighboring toothbrushes don’t touch and share germs.

Air drying toothbrushes is easy when you purchase two for each child at your nearest Portland drugstore. Teach your kids to alternate between the two so they each have more time to dry out all the way.

Toothbrushes should be replaced every three to four months, mainly because normal wear and tear will make them less effective at cleaning teeth. But, regardless of the age of the toothbrush, replace it after your child has a cold or other illness.

If you have any other questions about your child’s oral health, ask your Eugene dentist, or speak to your pediatrician next time you take your child in for immunizations in Eugene.

I’m Katherine Wells and children’s health is very important to me. I am the owner of a terrific Eugene home business that sells a nutritional chocolate product. If you are interested in learning more, visit my website at http://mxi.myvoffice.com/katherinelwells/ or give me a call at 253-255-6837.

Creative Lunch Ideas For Your Eugene Kids

May 16th, 2012 by Kathy Wells

Creative Lunch Ideas For Your Eugene Kids

If your kids are tired of eating the same lunch every day, then today’s Portland kid’s health blog is for you!

Instead of the old standby PB and J, put a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter in a plastic container. Then give your child healthy things to dip into it, like whole wheat crackers, celery, or apple slices.

Bento boxes are a fun way to to pack a creative and eye-catching lunch. Originating in Japan, bento boxes have small compartments to separate elements of a meal and can be found at many Seattle, WA and Alaska area stores. They’re great for child-sized portions of food, and for kids who hate the idea of one food touching another food.

Finger foods are a fun lunch for children, and it’s easy to keep them nutritious.

Low-fat cheese cubes, fruit slices, and veggie sticks can add up to a filling meal for kids with all the vitamins and minerals they need. Sandwiches are a lunch time staple for kids, but you can try mixing up the starch. Instead of bread, try a whole-grain wrap or a whole-wheat pita.

I hope this blog post will help you add variety to your kids’ healthy lunches.

Bozeman, MT Kid’s Health: Guard Against Chapped Skin

May 11th, 2012 by Kathy Wells

Bozeman, MT Kids Health Guard Against Chapped Skin

When it comes to your Bozeman, MT child’s health, you might first think of their diet. While putting vitamins and minerals inside your child’s body is important, you also need to pay attention to what is going on on the outside. I’m talking about your child’s skin.

The skin is our body’s largest organ and when skin’s smoothness is disrupted, small cracks and openings can create an entryway for bacteria and germs.

Active Bozeman, MT kids don’t often think of the condition of their skin until it starts hurting. Playing outside in hot, cold, or dry weather can lead to small cracks around knuckles or nails. This painful condition is called dermatitis, or extreme dryness. Temperature extremes in Bozeman, MT make it harder to keep skin moist and healthy – dry, chapped and cracked skin is common in summer and winter.

Many kids lick their lips until they turn red or bleed. Reminding your child to drink plenty of water can prevent over-dryness.  Using a humidifier during the night in your child’s bedroom can also help.

Make sure you leave moisturizing lip balm in handy locations: by their bed, the front door and in the car so reapplying it becomes habit. Remind them to slick some over their cuticles as well, to prevent cracking.

Alaska dermatologists suggest a using a daily skin moisturizer that contains shea butter and aloe to draw moisture into the skin and keep it in place.

Encourage Alaska kids to use waterproof gloves when playing outside in the cold. Lightweight gloves with grips added to the palms are great for playing ball and riding bikes. In addition to protecting skin from dryness, they keep small hands from slipping. You can pick these up at Oregon sporting good stores or Alaska big box stores.

Using a non-drying sanitizer is another way to prevent bacteria from entering through the skin. Look for brands that are alcohol-free to prevent excessive dryness.

For additional tips for Alaska children’s health and to learn about a nutritional supplement kids love, contact me today at 253-255-6837!

Podcast Basics For Seattle, WA MLM Business Bloggers

May 10th, 2012 by Kathy Wells

Podcast Basics For Seattle, WA MLM Business Bloggers

Today’s Seattle, WA direct selling article is for Seattle, WA internet rookies who want to kick up their web marketing a notch by adding a podcast to their Seattle, WA home business blog.

A podcast is a multimedia file that is downloaded for playback on a mobile device such as an iPod or laptop computer. It can be a digital recording of a radio program or, more often, a program produced solely for online distribution. A podcast can be a recording of a webcast: a live Seattle, WA program that is ‘streamed’ or broadcast on the internet in real time. When this is the case, it is similar to a DVD recording of a live program that you store in the database of your playback device.

A related term is the acronym RSS which probably originally stood for Rich Site Summary feed but is sometimes used for Really Simple Syndication. You have probably seen the term RSS on websites. An RSS feed allows digital files to be downloaded in a standard format. Portland podcast listeners often subscribe to favorite ongoing podcasts. When new podcasts are produced, they are automatically downloaded by RSS applications.

It is fairly simple hardware- and software-wise to product your own podcast for your Seattle, WA online business
. Your laptop may already have recording capability. If not, you can buy any equipment you need in the Portland area.

Seattle, WA business owners operating on a shoestring will be happy to know that basic recording and editing software can be downloaded for free. If you want to get fancy, you can always buy more sophisticated software at Oregon specialty computer stores. I recommend using a headset microphone so the mic is always in the right spot to get a clear and consistent recording.

Now the fun part: what will you podcast? The possibilities are endless for Seattle, WA direct marketers. You can record Oregon trade show presentations, interviews with founding distributors of your Seattle, WA direct sales company, or create an entertaining pitch about your Portland business opportunity. Let your expertise and enthusiasm shine.

Creating a podcast gives you a chance to connect with potential Seattle, WA customers or downline members in a personal way.

I am promoter of healthy chocolate Katherine Wells, a network marketer representing Xe Energy Drink. I am based in Eugene, Oregon.

Are you interested in owning a Xe Energy Drink online business? My team members are steadily expanding their networks and increasing their direct sales income.

Call me today to start building your own online Xe Energy Drink business!

Yogurt covered raisins

Quaker Rice Cakes

How to Choose a Portland Pediatrician

May 2nd, 2012 by Kathy Wells

How to Choose a Portland Pediatrician

Keeping children healthy is among the highest priorities for Eugene, Oregon parents.

There are hundreds of qualified pediatricians to help with your health goals in the Bozeman, MT, Alaska, and Seattle, WA area, but how do you choose one?

Since these medical professionals are the people you will rely on to give your child immunizations and advise you on proper nutrition for your family, you’ll want someone you’re comfortable with.

One of the best things you can do is to ask other Portland parents which pediatricians they recommend. As soon as you have a few names, you can begin calling the offices and perusing the websites for each practice.

Here are a few questions to keep in mind when talking to the receptionist or nurse on the phone:

Where did the doctor go to medical school?
Is the staff friendly?
Are the office hours convenient for your schedule?
Does the doctor belong to a group practice where they can cover for each other during vacations, etc.?
What hospital does the doctor or practice use?

When you have narrowed down your list to a pediatrician that fits these criteria, you can visit the office and ask the staff or pediatrician any additional questions you may have. This is one of the best ways to understand children’s healthcare in Alaska.

Direct Selling Has Evolved In Portland

April 26th, 2012 by Kathy Wells

Direct Selling Has Evolved In Portland

Network marketing in Portland is nothing like it was twenty years ago. Portland direct sellers had to host home parties and other events to show their products and explain the opportunity.

The internet has revolutionized Portland home businesses in general and MLMs in particular.

Portland direct marketers still have the option to sell Xe Energy Drink in person, but most of them use their website as their main marketing vehicle. You can make money online with Xe Energy Drink direct sales.

If you ruled out network marketing in the past because you don’t like to make presentations in person, I invite you to reconsider. Internet storefronts have taken direct selling to a whole new level.

You can find new Xe Energy Drink customers online, collect contact information, and build a database without leaving your Portland home! You can also explain your home business opportunity to people all over the world.

I am Katherine Wells. I launched my Xe Energy Drink online business in August 2009. My phone number is 253-255-6837. If you would like to learn more about online direct sales, contact me today at 253-255-6837.

Fun Peanut Butter Snacks For Portland Kids

April 24th, 2012 by Kathy Wells

Fun Peanut Butter Snacks For Portland Kids

Healthy, growing children need to snack between meals for proper nutrition. Most Eugene parents have probably had the experience of forgetting an afternoon snack. What happens? Kids finally notice they’re hungry about an hour before dinner, and boy is it hard to wait!

A great snack ingredient is peanut butter. It is an inexpensive source of protein and calories and gives Eugene children the nutrients they need to grow and to stay healthy.

Here are some great healthy snack ideas using peanut butter for Alaska and Seattle, WA kids.

Peanut Butter Banana Pops

Bananas, cut in half width-wise
Popsicle sticks
Peanut butter
Chopped nuts, sprinkles, or other topping

Take the popsicle sticks and push them carefully into the cut bananas. Spread peanut butter over the bananas and roll in nuts or other topping. Freeze. Enjoy.

Peanut Butter Balls

This is the kind of recipe you can’t really mess up, and the portions are approximate.

about 1 cup of peanut butter
a few tablespoons of honey (2-3)
a few tablespoons of instant dry milk

Mix everything together until it forms a large ball. Pinch off small pieces of dough, and roll into ball shapes. Store in the refrigerator, and pull them out at snack time.

Can Your Bozeman, MT Home Business Customers Contact You?

April 19th, 2012 by Kathy Wells

Can Your Bozeman, MT Home Business Customers Contact You? Welcome Bozeman, MT entrepreneurs! If you would like to contact me, here is my information:

promoter of healthy chocolate Katherine Wells
Eugene, Oregon 97404
253-255-6837   klwells02@comcast.net

The reason I included my contact info at the beginning of this post is because today’s article discusses the importance of accessibility.

Your contact information is probably the most important thing to include in your Oregon small business communications. I am surprised, however, at how many Bozeman, MT home business owners don’t understand this simple fact. Neglecting the most basic things can cause major problems for anyone: Bozeman, MT home business owners as well as presidential candidates.

Those of you who are old enough to recall the 2000 US presidential election may remember how the layout of the Florida state ballots confused some voters and was a complicating factor in the recount. (Remember the hanging chads?) I doubt that the candidates worried about the design of each state ballot. However, all the campaigning in the world is wasted if the voters can’t figure out how to cast a vote for you. Likewise, all the internet marketing in the world won’t bring you sales if your internet business customers can’t contact you.

ListPipe, the corporate blogging experts point out that many Bozeman, MT home business blog visitors only enter your site to quickly copy your contact information. Make sure your Xe Energy Drink customers can easily copy and paste your email address and/or phone number into their contact formats.

Now consider the other side of the coin: how can you easily get your customers’ information? Many Bozeman, MT internet marketers use built-in contact forms that automatically capture your customer’s information and email it to you. If you are not currently using content forms, you may want to take a look at them.

Operating a successful Bozeman, MT business depends to a large extent on paying attention to the simple things. If you would like more tips, give me a call at 253-255-6837. That’s 253-255-6837. Or email klwells02@comcast.net. That’s klwells02@comcast.net. I am Katherine Wells.

Green Veggies Boost Immunity For Eugene Kids

April 18th, 2012 by Kathy Wells

Green Veggies Boost Immunity For Eugene Kids

Do your children catch every cold that goes around Eugene? Do they regularly have earaches, coughs, or runny noses? Including more green vegetables in their diets could boost kids’ immune systems and help them stay healthy, according to a study in the journal Cell.1

The study found that green vegetables help produce a chemical that is important for a strong immune system. The chemical provides signals to the immune cells in the gut and skin, helping them to function properly.

If your Eugene kids are like mine, convincing them to eat more green vegetables is as hard as getting them to clean their rooms. However, Portland parents can find sneaky ways to add more green vegetables to their children’s diets.

My kids love pasta and sauce so I puree spinach into the pasta sauce, disguising the leafy green immune booster. Adding kale to protein smoothies is another way to sneak green vegetables into their tummies.

My name is Katherine Wells and I want to improve children’s health in Eugene and around Oregon. I also promote Xe Energy Drink. If you would like more information about Xe Energy Drink or children’s health issues contact me today!
