New Product Alum Shaving Block

The Alum shaving block is a natural shaving antiseptic made from potash alum that is great for men and women.  It is a crystal like stone that is moistened with cold water and gently rubbed over the entire face, legs or underarms to act as an antiseptic for razor burn.  It can also help stop bleeding of nicks and cuts.  The Alum block also has antiseptic properties that not only cool and refresh the skin after shaving, but also act as a balm.  Simply wet the block, apply to the skin, and then dry with towel.

Visit my Shop for more information or to purchase the Alum Block for £3.79 and enter Alum in the search box to find the product .

Organic Vegetable Gardening

Are you thinking of creating your own organic vegetable garden and growing your own vegetables?  Don't know where to start?

The best thing for me about organic vegetable gardening is not the money I save on my monthly shopping bill but the satisfaction I get when I can harvest my own vegetables and enjoy the delicious flavours they bring.

When we moved to Northumberland 6 years ago we had never contemplated having a vegetable garden however, the house we bought had an area already set aside for growing your own fruit and veg.  Since then we have expanded the area and now grow a variety of fruit and vegetables which my young boys love helping harvest.

So why grow an organic vegetable garden?  It's BETTER.  Better for the vegetables and fruit you are growing and better for the soil.  More importantly it's better for YOU.

If you can grow your fruit and vegetables in natural ways they may not look as perfect to the eye as shop bought vegetables but they will have a lot more flavour.  There will be no chemical or poison residues left on them, you will know that they are 100% safe for you and your family to eat.  In addition to this there are no air miles/transportation of the vegetables and you can pick them immediately for consumption.

To achieve your organic garden you need to plan ahead.  Where is your vegetable garden going to do, what are you going to dig into the soil?, what vegetables, fruit and herbs are you going to grow? and what preventative and proactive measures are you going to take?

The short days of winter are the time to start thinking about what you want to grow this year in your veg garden.  For inspiration and ideas why not become a Wikaniko Allotment Gardener and sign up to receive FREE weekly organic gardening tips.

Happy vegetable gardening

Wikaniko Luxury Skincare Range

I am delighted to announce the launch of the Wikaniko luxury skin care range!

These superb skin care products have taken many months of trials, testing, reworking and improving, in order to bring you what they consider are the best natural products that you can get – totally free of colourings, parabens, SLS, etc etc.

Wikaniko's quest to make the best products follows the withdrawal of the Faith moisturiser which many people liked. They asked the chemist (and his partner who is a leading toxicologist) who developed our luxury shampoo range to produce something far better than the Faith moisturiser – better than Green People products, better than Liz Earle, better than No7 – better than anyone in fact.  We believe that he has done it in style, and then some.

Wikaniko now has its own Signature Blend!

You only have to look at the range of totally natural ingredients in these products to appreciate just how good they really are. For example, they have used Sea Buckthorn Oil, Jojoba Oil, Red Mandarin Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Frankincense Oil, Organic Coconut, Magnolia, Neroli, Seaweed Extract, etc. You are going to love these products.  Take a few minutes to visit my website http://www.northumberlandecoproducts.co.uk and read the descriptions for details of ingredients in the individual products.

Rest assured that you simply can’t get these products anywhere else. They are totally unique to Wikaniko, and only available through Independant Wikaniko Distributors  The people who have trialled these fabulous products are now hooked on our wonderful creams and lotions, with many stating that they are better than anything else they have tried, and at a far more reasonable price….

The big news is that they are also available as Own Brand products!  For more information on retailing your own range of these products then visit my website here http://www.wikaniko.com/distributor/ownbrand.php or e-mail me for more details.

Work from home businesses

Easy money or not?

80% of people who join a network marketing business to make money actually fail to do so.  Why?  Want to know the secret behind the 20% of people who do make a living from their business?

Here's the answer: The only place where 'success' comes before 'work' is in the dictionary.  That's where 80% of people fall down, they don't put the effort in and work at it consistently.

It will take effort to get where you want to go.  You may be used to being paid an hourly wage in a job whether you actually put the effort in for your boss, you may occasionally phone in sick just because you didn't feel like going to work.  If you have a work from home business, if you don't do something, you don't get paid!!

Alternatively - if you leave a job, you don't get paid any more.  However, in your work form home business if you work consistently, you will soon find that you will build an income that you just can't stop coming in, whether or not you get up in the morning and decide to work.

5 years from now you could be sitting with your feet up, never having to work again for the rest of your life because you put in consistent effort over the last 5 years.  20% of the people that run a work form home business will experience this, whereas 80% will wonder why it hasn't happened for them.

Why Should I Recycle?

If you throw something away it is no longer useful, it ends up in landfill, incinerated, or in some other way contaminating the environment.  If you recycle something, it can be recovered and become material for a new product, someone else may find your unwanted goods useful.

How do I start recycling at home?

Start by doing what's easy and simple.  You don't have to become an expert overnight.  The first step is to start realising there is 'no such place as away' so when you 'throw something awa'y it just goes some place else, for someone else to deal with or most likely becomes a contaminent in the environment.

Start by recycling the products that you can put into your recycling bin - paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, tin cans.  Take your bottles to your nearest recycling centre.  Unwanted toys, furniture, books, clothes can be taken to a recycling centre or post them on Wicycle a website where you can recycle items totally free of cost, thereby giving everyone a fabulous alternative to high priced auction sites such as ebay.

Check out my eco store http://www.northumberlandecoproducts.co.uk/ and go green by finding out more information on recycling and ways you can help the environment.

Make 2012 a year to remember and Let's Recycle as much of our household waste as we can and any unwanted gifts and presents can be placed on Wicycle-It to go to a wanted home.

Let's Recycle!

Welcome to Northumberland Eco Products

Welcome to my Wikaniko blog.  I am a Qualified Distributor for Wikaniko and a member of the Wikaniko Warriors.  I came across the Wikaniko eco business opportunity less than a year ago and was keen to do something that would enable me to help create a greener future for my children.  Since having started there have already been so many opportunities presented to me.  I have learnt so much and am learning more and more by the day.  A year ago I didn't know what a blog was and now here I am writing my own.

This opportunity has enabled me to work the hours I want and fit them in around looking after my three young boys.  I decide when I work, how long I work for and I do it with the knowledge that I'm helping raise awareness about the environment and how we can help preserve it for a greener future.

Wikaniko is a unique opportunity that not only enables us to make a difference but can be done whilst creating an income for ourselves.  When you join you are offered a full training programme online absolutely free.  You also receive a starter kit which has a handful of both the home shopping catalogue and the health and beauty catalogue, a CD with various marketing articles on and your own distributor badge.  One of the things I like most about Wikaniko is the distributor's forum.  This is a place where all distributors can come and bounce ideas off each other, share their success stories or help other distributors with their path to success.  A brilliant place to go for support and advice and everyone is more than willing to help each other, there is no competition or complaints about other distributors.

I am starting 2011 with the hope that by 2012 I will have done as much as possible to promote my business and make a positive impact on the environment.
