The Holidays are ripe for a cold sore or canker sore

All the stress and fatigue that often goes along with the Holidays commonly causes a cold sore or canker sore for those prone to them.  The last thing you want now is a big, honking cold sore displayed prominently around the month.   Nor do you want the excruciating pain of a canker sore in the mouth to make eating, drinking or talking almost impossible.  Especially eating.  No, wait – drinking.  Hmmm-make that talking.  Aw geez – ALL of it!

Cold Sores Begone® will prevent that little cold sore of yours from erupting.  Yep. A few dabs at that dreaded tingling feeling, the infection is aborted, no cold sore, good to go.

Canker Sores Begone®, for most folks, heals the ulceration within 24 hours to a few short days.

No worries.  Safe for even small children, non-toxic, herbal topical formulation.  Endorsed by PREVENTION Magazine, no less.

Available at selected health food stores nationally, such as Whole Foods Market, and online HERE

My gift to you. Enjoy the beauty, soothing sound, and peace.

Odor control for doggy pee pads


So one of my dreams came true. I successfully trained Molly to use a pee pad that I keep on my condo balcony. I use toilet paper to pick up the waste and dispose of in the toilet, but where to temporarily store the dirty, smelly pee pads became a challenge. The idea! I purchased a Diaper Genie from Target to keep in a corner of the balcony. It’s been a perfect solution. No odor whatsoever, and easy to bag up and dispose of contents when full. They run about $30.

What you can expect from this blog

I’m an information and resources junkie that feels compelled to share my finds with the world. There will be thoughts and insights, recommendations for small business owners  and for consumers when I come across products or services I find unusual or extra-ordinary. Count on videos that are funny, inspirational or informative, and interesting facts.

EXAMPLE:  Did you know that when you’re sad and cry, tears run down your face.  If tears are from joy, they run off the side of your face.

What quality of life could you have had before knowing this??

There will also be information and news about cold sores and canker sores. Statistics say that well over half the world’s population are affected, and it’s how I happen to make my living. You’ve heard the expression “necessity is the mother of invention”? That’s what happened. Years ago, fed up by a lifetime of painful, extremely embarrassing cold sores and miserable canker sores, I created what started as a home-made herbal remedy that reliably prevented future cold sores from erupting by applying it when I felt the dreaded early warning ‘tingling’ symptom. It was that simple. And shocking that it worked :).

Later, I concocted another herbal remedy for the excruciating cankers sores which would develop inside my mouth when I was over-tired. The canker sore would heal within a couple of days rather than a week or more had I used nothing. 

The production of those two remedies eventually moved from my kitchen counter to an FDA approved/FTC licensed lab, products named Cold Sores Begone® and Canker Sores Begone®,   becoming two of the bestselling remedies of their type in the natural health industry.  Not bad for an ex-secretary.  Most asked question – “Does it really work?” Yes, for most people. And to answer another common question, both remedies are safe for children, toddler on up.
