The Happy News Vol.2 Issue 17


The Happy News is....Staying hydrated not only involves drinking plenty of water but playing in water too. I received this email from my sister Peggy who is sharing quotations from her “Calendar for Women Who Do Too Much” . Today's quote was about “Alone Time” and stated the following: “Women who do too much do it more efficiently, more creatively and better when they take two or three hours completely for themselves once a month. This month, find a way to be in water. Swim, soak in a tub, take a long shower, soak your feet , or even wash dishes by hand – slowly. Let it be known that interruptions are not allowed during these precious times.” This reminds us to be our own best friend. And to be honest if I only had 2 or 3 hours a month to myself... I think I might be nuttier than I am. (but I remember times when “the girls” were babies, that I was lucky to get 5 minutes alone to use the bathroom and I was pretty crazy then. Mercifully I don't remember much about “me” from those days!) It's an individual thing –how much alone time a person needs but for me 2-3 hours a week is more like it. If you are not getting the “alone time” you need to maintain your sanity – maybe a friend can help you set up a plan to share child care or just hold each other accountable for scheduling your weekly/monthly alone time and keeping to your schedule. To help you spend some time playing in water I will offer 15% off on any shower gel. Bubble bath or foot soak. And 10% off Fuller Brush hand dishwashing soap.

Be Your Own Best Friend Drink one half your body weight in ounces of water each day. If you weigh 150 # then you should drink 75 ounces of water to be fully hydrated. Filtered water is best as chlorine kills the good bacteria in your intestine so that you don't get the most nutrition from the food you eat. (see Curves Water Bottle with filtration pg. 70 if you don't currently have a source of filtered water.

Give a Friend a CHEER. Recommend a product/service (Avon or other) to Readers of the Happy News. Suggest a quote or an inspiration that I use in The Happy News and get free gift! This will be an ongoing promotion for 2008. I want to hear from all my Reader Friends this year.

Cheers for Friends and Recommends

Reader of the Happy News, Liz Buckley shares a great gift idea. Liz bought a set of nylon tote bags for her daughter for Christmas and had the largest one personalized at “Make It Personal” Embroidery, Screenprinting,Personalized Gifts. Liz was very pleased with the quality of their work and it made a plain tote for her daughter's dance gear into a one of a kind gift.

The Happy News Vol.2 Issue 16


The Happy News

January 4,2008 Volume II Issue 16

All readers of the Happy News have permission to copy it and pass it on!

The Happy News is...... you can never have too many friends and friends come in many types. I'll bet that you have a few friendships that you've had for many years and consider these your best friends because they know you best. But don't short change the value of other kinds of friends in your life. Be on the look out for “instant” friends; someone you meet unexpectedly and become fast friends, or neighbor friends, phone friends, on line friends, sibling friends, couple friends, friends of the opposite sex, and elder friends. All can bring fun, zest, wisdom and warmth into your life. You can have friends that you just do certain activities with. I have stamping friends, scrap booking friends, jewelery-making friends, coffee club friends, extended family friends, home school friends, book club friends and of course Avon friends.

Two other types of friends also deserve special mention. Our animal friends add enjoyment to our days and lengthen our lifespan. Our household now includes Pebbles the neurotic Labrador; Alfie, the hamster and Jack the Blue Beta. Jack is my pet and I enjoy our conversation each morning when I feed him. Many of us may also consider Books as friends. Books can teach us a lot about friendship and help us learn to be better friends to ourselves and others. Books are steadfast and loyal friends, always ready to get together. It would be nice to have all your favorite book friends close around you but probably not practical if you are like me and want to read them all. So we can visit book friends new and old at bookstores and libraries. Giving books to friends as gifts lets us share other worlds and creates another connection between us. Let's make our list of friends long and deep and wide.

Tell me about your favorite animal friend or your favorite book friend and receive a 10% discount on one Avon item from C-2.
