A Great Way to end National Small Business Week

Hi Everyone!

Natures’ Heritage staff participated in a 3 day Country Festival event over the weekend in a small rural town introducing and reintroducing the Watkins product line to small town Americana.  What a great way to celebrate National Small Business Week.  So many people came up to us and related wonderful stories and memories of the “Watkins” man who used to come out to their homes, farms and ranches.  Everyone had their favorite story to tell about Watkins vanilla, cinnamon or pepper it seemed.  What a great legacy we at Natures’ Heritage have to build and carry on as Independent Watkins representatives. 

Some thought Watkins was no longer around and were happy to see us and Watkins alive and thriving.  Catalogs and samples flew off our table and it was just great to talk to so many people about Watkins and the “Naturals” gourmet spice, extract, personal and home care products.

By all accounts the economy is alive and well for entrepreneurship with Watkins and other small business endeavors.  One of the vendors near us has a small home based enterprise–spiced cookies, not too unusual you think, until you realize they are for HORSES!  Cinnamon and ginger cookies for your favorite 4 footed equine.  I thought of the winner of the Preakness, Shackelford, and Animal Kingdom, of Kentucky Derby fame and if cookies such as these might have given them an edge.   

Here’s to another great week for entrpreneurs everywhere–we’re off to soak our feet in Watkins Peppermint Foot Care and then lavender scented Bath Soak!

Hurray for Small Business!

Today starts National Small Business Week, a week to honor all of us entrepreneurs and small business owners.  Over 50% of all business conducted these days originates from small business owners.  And small business accounts for the majority of new businesses as well. 

One of the great things about small business owners is that they are able to test new technologies faster than corporate America in many cases, primarily due to faster turnaround, less paperwork, etc.  This has led to many innovative techniques and breakthroughs coming from small business over the last several years,  Small business owners will continue to be the economic engines in the country ffor the foreseeable future.

Watching the final flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour this morning I could not help but think of all the small businesses that have been created and involved with the Space Shuttle program over the last forty years.  A NASA spokesmen told of over 100,000 companies and subcontractors of all sorts involved with the highly successful program and how that has shaped many products and services we use in our everyday lives.  As the shuttles retire from service over the next few months and head to museums, we wonder what will replace them and what new products and adventures await us all in the area of space travel.  What an exciting time for entrepeneurs!

So be sure and take a moment this week to celebrate your ingenuity and resourcefulness during National Small Business Week.   Hats off to us!

A Time for Older Americans

Did you know May was officially “Older Americans” Month?  This all started in 1963 when President John F. Kennedy designated May as “Sr. Citizen” Month, a time to honor and reflect on the accomplishments of older Americans.  In 1980 President Jimmy Carter renamed the month to “Older Americans” Month. 

If you’re beginning to feel the aches and pains of being one of  those “Older Americans” or have a family member or friend in that category, Watkins has several possible remedies and supplements to help ease those years.  They include–

Linimax–As we age we might lose some cushioning in our joints, causing a level of pain, stiffness or discomfort.  Linimax contains glucosomine and added antioxidants, along with boswellia, curcumin and ginger, ingredients shown to reduce the body’s production of pain-causing compounds.

E+CoQ10 softgels–For your heart and body–Watkins E+CoQ10 contains selenium and hawthorn as well.

Brain Plus–Working to retain more of your brain power?  Brain Plus with gingko biloba and memory support herbs might just work in your favor.  Often shown to protect against age-related memory decline while enhancing focus and concentration.

Osteogen–Calcium citrate-the most bioavailable form of calcium, is combined with vitamin D, boron and bone building vitamins and minerals to enhance calcium absorption and help prevent loss of calcium from our bones.

Eye Care Formula–Lutein, bilberry, Vitamin A and other nutrients found in Eye Care Formula are necessary for optimal eye functioning and vision.  Eye Care Formula has been shown to help with slowing vision loss due to aging.

Skin, Hair and Nails–A unique blend of biotin, vitamin C, copper and other essential nutrients and oils which protect against aging while rejuvenating new growth of skin, hair and nails to keep you looking younger.

Red and White Liniments–for effective temporary pain relief for arthritic hands and joints as well as muscle strains and sprains.

Warming and Cooling Gels–Menthol, wintergreen, and capsaicin join forces to cool and soothe or warm up muscles for pain relief naturally.  Great for minor arthritis or simple back pain.

The above statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and the products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.  As always, please consult with your doctor before taking any supplements.

Have a great week out there and spend time with your best “Older Americans”!
