A Golden Turkey?

Would you eat a golden turkey?

How about a silver apple?

Photobucket

A German company has developed aerosol sprays that allow chefs and household cooks to “colorize” their food according to their mood (as long as your mood is satisfied with gold, silver, red or blue that is).

Sound delicious or atrocious?

It is true that chefs have been able to color food using dust-like colorings, but the aerosol delivery system is new. The spray is based with ethanol (yes, same stuff that’s added to gasoline in some states) and (not surprisingly) food dyes.

Metal isn’t a new food additive, either. It was long believed that ingesting gold had healing properties, although that claim has never been proven. Generally, the metals pass right through, […]

What Does Freedom Mean to YOU?

As we celebrate this 236th Independence Day (we’re such youngsters compared to other parts of the world!), I’d like to encourage you to consider what freedom means to you.

PhotobucketI know that for me, working a 9 to 5 job was anything but freedom inspiring. I felt so trapped and never felt like I could get ahead. I hear this often from people considering becoming Glitterbug Gold Buyers. They’re tired of the rat race and simply want to get off!

Being a Gold Buyer gives you freedoms you might not otherwise have. Imagine, what would it be like to not have to send your child to a babysitter or daycare every day? What would it be like if you could pay down debt and actually afford to take a vacation without incurring additional debt? And how would it […]

Get that Golden Glow without Damaging your Skin

There’s plenty of information available that states tanning in the sun or in tanning booths isn’t good for you. PhotobucketWith skin cancer on the rise, being smart about sun exposure is becoming more critical each year. Because it’s summer, and because a golden tan is still the preferred summer look regardless of where you live, this post focuses on how to achieve that look from a bottle and not the sun’s harmful rays.

There’s no denying it, the sun is vital to our survival. Without it, the earth would be a cold, lifeless ball floating in the universe. The sun provides us with life-giving warmth, sunlight to grow plants and trees, works in conjustion with our bodies to increase our levels of vitamin D and promotes melanin production which, for some, produces a golden tan. But your […]

What Your Man Really Needs This Father’s Day

Have you ever noticed that when we celebrate Mother’s Day, we tell moms they have the most important job in the world?  We cheer them on and do special things for them.  On Father’s Day, we also tell men they have the most important job in the world.  Then we continue on to give them a bulleted outline on all the ways they should be doing it better.

Let’s put an end to this.

If you have children, think of all he does for them.  Maybe he takes them outside in the backyard to play ball Photobucketor teaches them to ride their bicycles. Maybe he helps them with their homework. Maybe he has epic tickle-wrestling wars on the living room carpet with the pre-schoolers, which makes you laugh as much as the children.

Let’s lead up to Father’s day […]

Laughter can Cure What Ails Ya!

We like having fun at Glitterbug. It makes the days go by faster and that much more enjoyable. Our parties Photobucketare fun, too. Who doesn’t like being around people who are making money and meeting new people? A gold buying business is fun to be part of because you’re making people happy by buying their gold jewelry. And because we pay better than our competitors our gold sellers leave with smiles on their faces. We love that.

So what has me thinking about happy people? I found this image on Facebook and it made me smile. I love the sentiment – wrinkles in the right places because of smiling. And then I thought about laughing. Who doesn’t like a big belly laugh? I’d heard that laughter could have positive effects on our health, so I did a […]

Putting Your Home’s Best Face Forward

PhotobucketWe’ve all seen it; the nice looking house that goes up for sale with a reasonable sale price. The house should sell fast but it doesn’t. In fact, it just sits on the market, becoming a liability because it has been for sale too long. In a decent housing market, there’s no excuse for a nicely appointed and well priced home to go unsold. So how does it happen? Most often, it’s because the seller wasn’t aware of how their everyday lives and belongings influence potential buyers. Solutions to the problems can be as simple as a coat of paint and as complex as wallpaper removal and new flooring. This is called “restaging.”

In today’s competitive home seller’s market, every advantage you can create for your home will put you closer to your […]
