Bringing back a redo of a previous Works for Me Wednesday this week, because I am relaunching and going full strong into my Wildtree Business again. It’s delicious people… here’s an old post I wrote about it.
I want to share with moms out there an amazing new food line that is ALL NATURAL! There’s no preservatives, there’s no MSG, there’s no Dyes, fillers, no additives, made in a peanut free facility. Everything in these products are NATURAL! The company that is making this possible for us is called {Wildtree}.
I’m a work at home mom, and by the time dinner rolls around I’m cringing as I’m feeding my family junk. Sure, it’s a home cooked meal, but half the stuff I used to make it contain horrible things that my family doesn’t deserve to consume. However, I don’t have the time to spend hours in the kitchen making things from scratch. It just isn’t realistic for me.
In addition to all of the above reasons, I have a daughter with a heart condition, a son that has food aversions and reactions to certain dyes (red dye is not a good one if you have a child with ADD or ADHD…. actually any dye isn’t) and is in the process of being diagnosed for Sensory Processing Disorder and a husband with high blood pressure.
Another point I really want to express here is about the Grapeseed Oil. I have always been a huge fan of Olive Oil. In my mind I was cooking with the best possible health option for my family…. nope, I was wrong. Grapeseed Oil is definitely the way to go. Wildtree offers a variet of {Grapeseed Oils} that are infused with DELICIOUS flavors. You can read all about the health benefits {HERE}.
Wildtree is opening up across the country! It’s an all-natural, preservative-free direct sales company that is growing like crazy! It is direct sales/party plan, and it’s the simplest party I’ve ever seen or done, with about 10 minutes of information and then tasting many of the wonderful samples! It’s FUN and very social!
Basically there are 4 ways to be involved:
See my website for placing your order or taking advantage of our representative opportunity. There is a short video to watch if you are interested in doing so!
Did you know that Whole Foods is the fastest growing chain in the U.S.? Have you noticed that many of the fast-food chains are taking the trans-fats our of their food?
Generations ago, most Americans ate natural, nutritious food they grew themselves or bought from small, local grocers.
Then large food companies were formed and sought to improve their bottom line by extending the shelf life of their products. Scientists added more and more chemicals to foods. Now we all realize that many of those additives are harmful and governments have begun to address the issue.
Smart consumers interested in the health of their families aren’t waiting for government action. They are looking for better, healthier sources of foods. Look around you…. That’s where Wildtree comes in! It was formed on the premise that food should not only be natural and delicious but also easy to prepare. (and QUICK!) So whether you’re a gourmet cook, a wanna-be, or HATE it, Wildtree could be just what you need.
I really love Wildtree. Our health is the most important thing, and I’m seeing the benefits, I’ve seen my husband’s blood pressure drop, his weight drop, and we have not had to sacrifice taste!
For things that work for other’s head over to {Works for Me Wednesday} for some GREAT TIPS!!

I can say that yes, I would. I remember why I started this blog, and that is what keeps me going. There are times that I write things and don’t have a comment, but I’m happy I wrote it. I actually even have an inspirational carnival {Just a Motivating Monday} that goes weeks without a link up, but the reason why I started the carnival wasn’t just for link ups, but to share things that inspire people and to start somebody’s week off good. So, even if I don’t receive a comment or a link up, if I put a smile on someone’s face on a Monday that just isn’t working for them, my carnival served its purpose for the week.
I like to occasionally jump on a random blog carnival that I find. Today I found one that seemed pretty stinkin cool. It’s called Aloha Friday… you ask a simple question on your blog and others can answer in your comments.
You can head over to {An Island Life} and link up to do the same or find a bunch of other questions. So I’ll use this fun carnival for an opportunity to ask random things I always wonder… can’t wait to see answers….
I talked all about Tweetdeck yesterday, and I figured I might as well share my thoughts on why I love Twitter for {Things I Love Thursday} I have some tweeps that like the idea of twitter, but just aren’t really sure where to really start. So, I thought I’d share a little about me and and twitter, how I use it, and a share a cool tutorial I found.
I am starting to look at Twitter as my own personal huge forum. I have found that most forums unfortunately come with their fair share of CATTY DRAMA. Don’t get me wrong, there are many, many benefits to wonderful support of the forum communities! In fact, I have met some of my very close friends from forums, but the cattiness was too much for me. I chose to leave behind the drama, the “my way is better than your way” attitudes and venture off on my own in my little bloggity world. Visiting others’ blogs and peeking into the hearts of other women that are in your shoes helps you in ways that competing women cannot. The odds of you coming to my blog, reading something that comes from my heart and arguing with that is pretty slim. Of course it happens, but NOTHING like mommy forums.
I didn’t step into my full potential in this blog world until I succumbed to the over growing world of Twitter. I never fully “got it” until I saw on someone’s blog Follow Me on Twitter. I clicked, I read, a light went off, and I’ve been Tweet-a-leeting ever since.
Here is how Twitter is my own personal forum… a forum that can’t compete with any other forum, because it is every forum in 1….. You create your own universe, or should I say twitterverse on there. You get to choose your friends, you get to choose which conversations to jump into, and you get a full range of different people. It’s not just moms, it’s not just dads, it’s not just parents. There’s old, famous, single, taken, happy, depressed, crafty, analytical. You think it, there is it. And that is what I enjoy. I follow an awesome tweep that posts sewing patterns, a tweep that posts awesome photography tutorials, tweeps that post giveaways for things you can win for free. I can post something that I need and a random stranger can come and help you out, or say a prayer for you, and you may just find your new best friend there. It is an extremely supportive community, and I have made it into what I love.
You don’t feel obligated to ever have to post so much, reply to everything, because it’s a constant chat room where you come and go as you please. You can make it how you want it, and that’s exactly what I need in my life, a place that I can come and go as I please, without guilt, without obligation. But knowing… it’s always there. I’ve found at first that I didn’t want to follow too many people, because I didn’t want to get overwhelmed, but I’m now coming to the realization that the more people that you find that you have something in common with, all the better to follow them. You don’t (and most definitely shouldn’t) catch up on everything that you miss on twitter. When I log on to my Ubertwitter (on my blackberry) or get on my trusty {tweetdeck} I only go back 25 or so tweets to see the current happenings and of course check my mentions (anyone mentioning my username). If any of my people are talking something interesting or something I’d like to chime in on I will…. if not, I won’t. The more people you follow, the more conversations you have an option of joining. I’m random. I tweet all kinds of stuff about my day, my frustrations, my kids, my marriage, my friends, my family, literally… everything. Do I expect people to respond to everything I say? No, but I feel like there’s always someone listening, and that in itself feels pretty darn snazzy. I do try to reply to people often, comment on their happenings. Twitter is pretty dang awesome. It’s something that I will always be a part of, and am happy to have it in my life.
If you are into blogging, if you are into sales, or need to promote something what better way to get the word out there about what it is you want the world to know than to tweet it? I have an RSS feeder, but to be honest, I check the blog posts of those who tweet them first. It’s easy for me. I have found many new friends and new readers of my blog just by tweeting my link and what it is that I wrote about.
It’s fun to go and create your own twitterverse and make it what you want it to be. It’s fun to go and find your tweeps, and spend your days with them, because believe it or not that’s strangely what you do. If you’re not with Twitter ~ you should be. I’m just writing this post mainly to explain how and why I am a part of Twitter. You can use it to your advantage… you can make it your social network for you business, for your sanity, for your whatever… the thing is it’s your’s, make it what you would want to make of it. And nothing is my universe without my husband, so I made him become a part of my twitterverse… @Eazymoney25 is my TWEETHEART!
And for the record:
Tweeple = People on twitter
Tweeps = Peeps
Twitterverse = Twitter is like a cyber universe where almost every1 is a part of Tweetheart = Sweetheart heard this 1 today…I think it might be my favorite twitter language
And that’s my thoughts on Twitter today. You make it into what you want it for. Please enjoy this tutorial I found, I think it’s THE BEST I’ve seen yet.

What I want to share with you today for Works for Me Wednesday is how Tweetdeck for Twitter works for me. How you can use it for so much more than just keeping in contact with your tweeps.
{Tweetdeck} is a program that you download onto your computer. I keep it minimized when I’m on my computer and can hear the ding when I new tweet comes through and a pop up comes up telling me which column was updated…. ah, columns… my FAVORITE part of Tweetdeck!
I always have the following columns up and active:
Let’s say you’re in the middle of a Twitter Party (which is much fun if you haven’t been a part of one yet) Tweetdeck allows you to add columns with a search word. Therefore if the party is using a hashtag of #twitterpartyfood you can add a column and any posts at all with that hash tag come up. Therefore you’re almost using it like a chat room.
Let’s say you specialize in something and want to be able to be in contact with people who mention your specialty… well, make a search column with that key word (or words) and watch in real time as it updates whenever it’s mentioned. Definitely a good thing for trying to promote things!
If you have other ways that Tweetdeck is awesome please, please, please share with me by leaving a comment and letting me and my readers know!!
Tweetdeck has made Twitter definitely enjoyable and easy for me while on my computer. I hope this helps you out in a way, if not… thanks for stopping by Garibay Soup anyways ~ feel free to have a look around and leave some comment love… because I love it! And I hope to see you back for Just a Motivating Monday ~ Garibay Soup’s Inspirational Carnival… because we all need inspiration in our lives!!!
Over at {We are THAT Family} there are many other things being linked up that work for others… head over with a nice drink of whatever does it for you and brace yourself for some knowledge you’ll want to use in your life.
