Save your life. Clean your dryer vent in under 60 seconds!

The importance of keeping your dryer lint trap clean is extreme!  These little contraptions can easily catch fire, and are one of the leading causes of house fires.  Here's a very simple way to prevent this from happening to you.

Make sure you clean them at least every 6 months.  The key to remember is, you cannot see the buildup.  It is invisible to the human eye, and is caused by the dryer sheets that we use to keep our clothes smelling extra fresh and keeping them static free.  These sheets have an oil that builds up, and the tight mesh of our dryer vents holds this oil in.

You can easily tell if your dryer vent is dirty, simply by running it under the kitchen sink.  If there is any hesitation in the water passing through the vent, you should clean it.

All you need is a VERY small drop of Dawn, and a brush to scrub with (I used an old tooth brush).



Simply scrub over the entire vent, rinse well, and dry.  Literally it takes less than one minute, and can save your life.  It's that simple!  

Thanks for checking out this blog, please feel free to leave any other cleaning tips you have!  
Stay blessed, and never stop believing.

Nerium Schmerium...it REALLY does work!

Had I known back in July that I was about to be introduced to an amazing opportunity that would change everything, I probably wouldn't have decided that in the following 6 months I would begin the process of quitting smoking, AND completely revamping my cleaning business as well.

HOWEVER...I'm so incredibly grateful I was introduced to Nerium International!

A little background first.  Nerium AD is the breakthrough product that was discovered during research and is backed up by many prestigious centers, scientists, authors, and fellow entrepreneurs.  The main active ingredient is Nerium Oleander. What's in Nerium AD is all natural, botanical ingredients, and you can see our scientific safety information right here.

Results have been astonishing!  Truly phenomenal!  Go here and click on either the video or the power point reel to see the results coming in across the country.  My own results blew me away.  I was fortunate to try Nerium while in my 20's and while the average results for everyone are 30% reduction in damaged skin (lines, pigment, pore size, etc..) in just 30 days, the less damaged the skin, the quicker the results have been.  Let me remind you that these clinical results are not based on opinion.  They are computer scanned results that measure the pores, lines, and spots that are diminishing on average of 30%.
As you can see, my one week results were fairly impressive.

Then, about my 60th day of using Nerium, I was going through my phone deleting old photo's when I came across a video, and in this video I captured a snap-shot of myself that shocked me!  I couldn't believe how OLD my under eye area looked, and I was even more shocked when I took my picture right then & there and placed the two side-by-side.
What's amazing about Nerium AD, is that you FEEL it immediately.  Give it 30 days (it's RISK FREE anyway), and then you'll SEE the results.

One thing I challenge everyone to consider is this.  When is the last time a skin care consultant not just asked you to take before and after pictures, but really pushed it?  I say this so my friends and family STOP wasting their money on products that do not give the results they claim.  No other skin care company has offered scientific clinical trials using computer scanning technology.  Rather, their "clinical results" are the opinion of the participants, claiming the reductions they think they can see as fact.

Take a look at the Nerium Product Guide, and under "Usage" you can see it's extremely simple to use, and just one product, as well as a review of what Nerium AD is all about from the company itself.  I've also linked the ingredients here, so you can see for yourself that it is all natural. 

The best analogy I can provide to help others better understand what I am trying to get across is this:  Skin care is just as important for good health as eating right and exercising.  Too many men and women today do damn near torturous things to their skin to look younger, spending hundreds if not thousands in one sitting.  STOP IT!  Just like liposuction, if you don't maintain a healthy daily habit, it won't matter.

Ladies, AND gentlemen, I'm here to help answer any questions you may have, and happy to do it!  Give yourself the gift of younger skin BEFORE the new year, and please don't hesitate to take a look on my website www.bethanyprice.nerium.com or send me an e-mail with any questions.

Love and Be Loved~

Gone Clubbin'

Over the past few weeks, I've had the great fortune of being able to look around and notice the small things.  The little things that have added up to this wonderful life we are enjoying together.  Like our pantry stocked full of everything and anything we want.  My closet spare bedroom, which holds many years of memories between photo albums, and old (but still very comfy and functional) clothes that I hold on to, even if I just wear them around the house.  His garage, neatly organized and full of grease and tools, and all things manly.  Our furry babies and their chew-toys and rawhide's that are constantly tripped over.  The mail box.  Yes, the mail box.  It holds the bills that we pay, and are blessed to be able to pay on time.
As I sat and just soaked in life the other day in my kitchen, I was left in awe.  How different life can be if you make the choice to change.
I honestly always thought my life would be that of a "rock star".  Wild.  Crazy.  Party after party.  Early demise. All of that. Even as a child, I had a wide range of "future predictions", I had dreams of "living on the edge", always city to city meeting different people, and crazy situations.  And then there were the white picket fences dreams of a big smile on my husbands face as he came home from work, while I had a baby on my hip, one in a high chair and few playing upstairs....At one point I actually wanted to have 10 (yes TEN) children.  
Thank God, I'm right in the middle of those childhood dreams! Ha!
But seriously, I love coming home to my "children", my love, and getting dinner ready no matter how sore my feet are or how tired I am.  I love to continually pick things up that aren't mine and put them where they belong, just to see them back where I picked them up from in 5 minutes.  I really do enjoy being..."domesticated"...(go ahead get it out...GASP)  I see nothing wrong with me never pumping gas, and him never sewing a torn part of his work jacket.  Or me being the one to take the pups to all their appointments, and him being the one to do all the vehicle maintenance .  I like the "old-fashioned" way of things in our lives.
Last night Mark was exhausted, and he'd really had a long, cold day at work yesterday, and I knew it.  So I told him I was headed out to run some errands, that since I had to drop off a bill, and stop by to drop off something else for a client, and then go to 2 stores, I knew he probably wasn't up for driving me all around.  But, he said he'd be happy to come, so off we went.  We enjoyed our time together, even though it was nothing particularly special, and just as we approached the house, he noticed the time (barely after 9pm) and he jokingly said "Damn woman, look what you did, you tricked me! Got me out here clubbin' all hours of the night, and on a Wednesday night at that!  I need to be in bed getting my sleep for work tomorrow."  At that comment, we both were in stitches, almost brought to tears laughing at how "old" we have gotten.  For a long, long time, the two of us "clubbing" on a Wednesday night was nothing out of the ordinary, and as we brought our Sam's Club items into the house last night, I thought about how much I really did love my domesticated life.
Whatever you truly want your life to be...be it.  Don't settle for anything less, and don't look for the approval of others before your own.  And never, ever stop believing.
