Holeco™ Wellness Medi Spa & Coconut Water :)

The one drink that you hear me talk about over and over and over is Coconut Water. There are so many health benefits from pure young coconut water that in my eye, it is truly the miracle fruit.

If you are thinking of the coconut milk, forget it, I am talking about the yummy hydrating water within. Here is a quick run down on it's properties:

* is excellent for replacing lost electrolytes from exercise and illness.
*is a natural isotonic beverage – contains a similar level of electrolytes found in human blood.
*has 15 times the amount of potassium as most sports and energy drinks. Potassium helps regulate blood pressure and heart function.
*regulates the functioning of the intestine which can help to promote digestive health.
*can help promote smoother, more hydrated skin.
*can help reduce problems for infants suffering from intestinal disturbances.
* is an effective oral rehydration medium and keeps the body cool.
*is an all natural sports drink, energy drink and hangover cure.
*Coconut Water is non-allergenic.
*is cholesterol free and coconut water has shown to help prevent the formation of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

Best of all, we now are selling it less than even Whole Foods for $1.76 per one or $21.12 for a case of 12. For additional information or to buy on line please visit: http://holecomedispa.com/Coconut_water.html Would you like to know what Gatorade is made out of? Sucrose Syrup, Glocose, Fructose Syrup, Citric Aci, Salt, Sodium Citrate, Monopotassium phosphate, Isobutrate.

Help us STOP FDA Globalization Act of 2008

FDA Globalization Act of 2008

What is it?

The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce released a Discussion Draft of the "Food and Drug Administration Globalization Act of 2008."

The “Discussion Draft" is meant to stimulate discussion about how to provide adequate funding and authority for FDA to ensure safety of . . food, drug, medical device, and cosmetic” products.

How does it effect small companies making hand crafted products like mine?

While the bulk of the document addresses the safety of foods and drugs, there is a section on cosmetics that, if enacted as it is currently stated, will have an adverse effect on any cosmetic manufacturer - and that includes all of us who make any products that fall under the FDA definition of "cosmetic".

What does this all mean?

As it stands, the act would require small cosmetics companies to pay thousands of dollars a year in registration fees and comply with burdensome paperwork that would serve only to put them out of business. It is designed to make big name cosmetic company stay in business.

How can you help?

Copy and paste the following Petition text and send it to Virgil Miller at virgil.miller@mail.house.gov. Mr. Miller is a Professional Staff Member with the House Energy & Commerce Committee. Make your voice count!

Petition Text:
We are the owners of small cosmetics companies, and the customers who love their products.We understand that laws must be in place to protect everyone from unsafe products, but we are outraged by the Draft Legislation that would require small cosmetics companies to pay thousands of dollars a year in registration fees and comply with burdensome paperwork that would serve only to put them out of business.
If passed the legislation would deny thousands of families the ability to earn an honest living, and also deprive consumers of the variety of cosmetics and personal care products available to choose from.

We oppose this law and condemn any companies that support it as being interested only in creating an unlevel playing field where small and family owned businesses will be forced from the marketplace before they even get a chance to start out. We urge you, as our representatives in Congress, to stop this law which would serve only to make it even harder for families to support themselves. We call instead for a real and meaningful discussion about how Congressional goals can be accomplished without enacting unfair laws that make it impossible for small businesses to survive.
In signing this Petition, we formally request that the Discussion Draft of the FDA Globalization Act of 2008 be marked up so that the legitimate concerns of small businesses and the consumers they serve can be translated into reasonable laws that protect consumers without also killing small businesses by making them pay unfair fees and comply with burdensome paperwork.

Thank you for your efforts in keeping the small sustainable businesses in business.
Honi Borden CLS, LE
