My friend Tabitha and I have known each other a very long time.
Circa 1991.
We went to high school together and cheered those mighty Raiders on
every single Friday night each Fall.
We were thicker than thieves and made memories of a lifetime.
My house was where our friends usually ended up...my mom was known for having the best food.
She almost always had left over biscuits, pork chops & the sweetest sweet tea waiting on us.
After the games, we spent our time rolling yards and listening to def leopard.
We most definitely and single-handedly kept hair supply companies in business for years on end.
You know your hair was big when people say that's what they remember about you.
Wow. We made life changing impressions, huh?
Life was simple and good and all about us....we were teenagers, after all.
Fast forward to a few years ago....
Tabitha was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer.
She was busy being married and raising her three children, who were 11, 5, and 2.
She was just 34, but cancer didn't care.
This diagnosis was sure proof that we're way past those teenage years.
Gone are the days when we think nothing bad can come our way.
Tabitha's life was changed forever.
I am so thankful that she survived her breast cancer.
But, long after her chemo, a double mastectomy and lymph node removal on one side,
she felt miserable.
She's suffered from fatigue and body aches with no reprieve.
For years on end, she hasn't felt good.
So, even though she survived breast cancer, she hasn't had a quality life with her health.
She had doctors who didn't truly empathize with her story and help fight with her for better health.
She pulled herself up by her boot straps and decided to advocate for herself.
She finally found a wonderful set of doctors in Atlanta who believe in medicine as a temporary fix.
They fight for whole health!!!
Her body was totally depleted, and she needed it to be restored.
Somewhere along the way, she also found out about the company IT WORKS!
She became a representative with them,
and she has been busy helping others get as healthy as they can.
She has generously offered one of my readers some of the GREENS formula.
I tried it last week and loved it!
It alkalizes, balances and detoxifies all at the same time.
You're gonna love this product!
Leave a comment telling me what you do to help give
your body maximum health.

ReplyDeleteI drink nutrition shakes and try to watch what I eat.
ReplyDeleteI need to drink more water. I hate that I have to remind myself to drink it.
ReplyDeletei won't lie i have done nothing to improve my health i have even had HT's and didn't know it till recently i had total blockage and had stints put in.....and yet i still can not bring myself to changeing my bad eating habits i love my fried food and butter did i mention i LOVE fried food...ah yes i did ......
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome giveaway! I've recently greatly minimized my affinity for pop... found a long lost friend in water, dabbling with a low carb diet and started juicing again to get more sound nutrition into my body.
ReplyDeleteI do drink lots of water. But I have really let my "upkeep" slip this summer. I was just reading a magazine article today about thyroid problems - the symptoms sound like me (fatigue, listlessness, weight gain). I turn 50 in September so I need to rally!
ReplyDeleteoh i was just at a party for this and got a wrap done. it was so fun. i would love to have the greens....i'm always sooo tired! this looked like a great product.
ReplyDeletemy husband is a pretty healthy guy and he makes lots of juicers in the summer that the whole family drinks!! they have kale, carrots, beets, parsley, and cucumbers in them. i love 'em but my kids call them "pukers." the juicers and playing pickleball a few times a week is how i try to stay healthy!!
I try to drink lots of water, and I wear a pedometer every day to try and make myself take at least 10,000 steps a day! You didn't go to Walton High School, did you?
ReplyDeleteexercise and drink raw milk! but need to drink way more water.
ReplyDeleteOh my... after the last couple of years with my back pain that sounds like heavenly stuff. I am back running again... that seems to be my thing and I feel tons better when I'm doing it with regularity. Bless your friend's heart... what a road to travel and so glad she's okay.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the hair comment. I get it totally. LOL
Drinking lots of water. After reading the comments above, I'm obviously lacking and need to get on a healthy living routine. Thanks for sharing and I hope your friend is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteUntil this past summer, I let my personal health slip away while making sure everyone else was eating healthy. The result, the Dr. telling me my cholesterol is way too high and I need to lose weight. So after a visit with the nutritionist, I've cut out extra snacks during the day, and am drinking more water and eating less packaged foods. It's not an easy battle! Yeah to your friend for taking care of herself when no one else would!
ReplyDeleteI exercise most every day and am working on eating less and healthier.

ReplyDeleteMy husband has high cholesterol and needed to loose weight. I started cooking healthier for my family. We have cut red meats out of our diet and started cooking lots of chicken and fish. I hope your friend is feeling better and continues to stay healthy. brian_dede_1996@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI try to do cardio and weights 4-5 days a week....that and try not to eat dessert every night :)
ReplyDeleteI try and workout 3-4 days a week and am trying to watch what I eat.
ReplyDeleteI try to drink as much water as possible, and I would love to try this...it's time to Clean my body OUT!
ReplyDeleteI begin and end my day drinking water and drink it throughout the day. Also, I drink at least one nutrition shake a day and exercise at least once a week...would love to try this product!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful product for us mothers who dont take as much time for ourselves as we should! Putting time and energy into yourself makes a healthier you, and in turn makes for a healthier family!!
ReplyDeleteI drink lots of ice water.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your friend found the help she needed.
Fondly,
Glenda
Twelve years ago, I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue. I had to quit teaching and for years I felt miserable. Doctors told me to exercise, but how could I when I couldn't get my head off the pillow? Finally, I began deep water aerobics at my local Y. Deep water is soothing and there is no impact on your joints. Three years later, I do 6 hours of water aerobics a week, I am 30 pounds lighter and I feel wonderful!

I think the most important thing I do is getting enough sleep. I take a lot of heat for going to bed early, but there is nothing worse than waking up in the morning feeling more tired than the night before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win!
Definitely sounds like something I need to try. Because of my feet I have been unable to exercise for quite some time, and I feel exercise is one of the most important things you can do. It energizes you, helps you to sleep better, not to mention staying in shape. Getting back into exercise and looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteFor much too long I've put everyone else ahead of my own health. I've decided to change all of that and start taking care of myself! I've started drinking more water and watching what I'm eating. Getting back into exercise and the clearer thinking that comes with it! Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteFor many years I have enjoyed "good" health.... however, I stopped going to the gym... ( just sooo busy.. I tell myself) ... and yes I have put on weight ... and now as I get older (turned 60 ) this week.....I just don't have the energy.... the "get up and go" that all of my family and friends know me for!!!! Would love to try this product and I am determined to make that (expensive treadmill) that has dust all over it HUMMMMM again!!!! LOL.... Thank you for the opportunity
ReplyDeleteI try really hard to get in all my fruits and veggies everyday. If I know that'll be hard, I cram everything into my blender and drink them :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to try this, and what a great story of survival!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your friend is doing well and found something that really worked for her. My cousin had a stage 4 brain tumor and radically changed his diet...it worked miracles for him. I try to watch what I eat and have been a vegetarian since I was about eighteen. I just added a new app to my phone called My Fitness Pal that I hope will make me even more conscious of the things I'm putting into my body.
ReplyDeleteExercise regularly and try to get plenty of sleep!
ReplyDeleteI try to eat more fruit and vegetables. I also take supplements...Vitamin D, B and Alphadophilus Probiotics.
ReplyDeleteI also drink cranberry juice-which mixed with seltzer water is great.
Would love to give It Works! a try...with a very lively 3 year old boy I need all the energy and help I can get!
I've been going to bed earlier and drinking tons of water....really helps.
ReplyDeleteI have Crohn's disease, and I have to take a ton of medicine in order to feel normal. To try and combat all the meds, I take a probiotic, aloe vera juice, fish oil, D3 and B12. I exercise daily, even if it's just for a walk, drink tons of water, and make sure that I always, always have a little alone time for myself. I really think mental and physical health go hand in hand.
ReplyDeletewhat kind of morrocan oil do you use? I have been wanting to try some on my curly (aka = easily frizzes)hair :)
ReplyDeleteTara, I drink lots & lots of water every single day! I also take vitamins, but water is so essential to our bodies. Thanks for your awesome blog! I'm usually smiling by the time I reach the end.... xoxo
ReplyDeleteI try to drink more water and walk! would definitely give that to my mom if I won it... she has arthritis! thanks for the chance!

ReplyDeleteLoads of water, brussel sprouts and krill oil. Weird, I know. Just today, my best friend started a years worth of bi-monthly chemo. She had a double mastectomy and lymph nodes removed on her left side in July. I pray she has the same blessed results as your friend.
ReplyDeleteI have a 16 year old son who has Vilitigo I am looking to get this Boy Healthy again.. his skin looks awful he's Hispanic so imagine what he is starting to look like, it's on his hands neck shoulders legs feet. Specialists say there is not really a way to fix this.. I'd love to try this product on him.
