I’ve so been dragging my butt the last few weeks…just cannot seem catch up on my sleep. Trying to enjoy any downtime from work by riding (even though I should start the yard & garden cleanup) involves too much intake of fresh air. After the winter months staying holed up in the house I’m finding it a bit hard to adjust to the wonderful weather. By the time I’m off work my body is telling me that it’s nap time…as if I were a little one again. It hasn’t helped that my supply of XanGo was pretty much exhausted so I hadn’t been taking it lately. Thank goodness this month’s order came in and I’m getting back on track with it again.
XanGo is a nutritional food supplement in beverage form that’s full of anti-oxidents & anti-inflammatory properties. It’s made from the entire mangosteen fruit which is also known as the “Queen of Fruits”. Very popular in the eastern world, XanGo is the company who finally was able to patent the use of the whole fruit for this beverage & brought it to the western part of the world. Now it is sold in 18 countries worldwide by internet sales only. I took the “30 Day Challenge” almost a year ago and was so impressed with it that I decided to start my own business as a distributor of this wonderful tasting beverage. It’s recommended to be tried over a 3 month period so that your body can get used to the product & you can adjust the amounts you take to suit you personally. You only need ounces per day for average health concerns, but the downfall I found with my family was that it tastes so good that they drink it by the glassful instead. It’s a good thing that taking too much will definitely not hurt you, and for those on medications, it will not interfere with them either.
I found that a lot of my customers would go on the 30 Day Challenge and decide against it. Within 2-4 weeks, most of them came back to me with wanting to get back on the product again. While using it, many didn’t seem to see any differences, but sure noticed differences once they stopped drinking it. A lot of people refer to it as their “Happy Juice”, and like me, are totally amazed at how it improved their energy & stress levels. I also like that it helps with my arthritis & it has decreased my downtime when suffering from migraine headaches. In fact, I’ve just realized that it’s been months since I’ve had a migraine. I usually lose at least 2-3 days when I have one and then it takes me several days to get back to normal. With XanGo I’ve been able to function pretty much as usual in spite of the migraine since it’s so much milder than I’m used to.
Being very skeptical of this product when I first was introduced to it, I was very nervous when I woke up at 3am one morning with a full blown migraine. I actually stood in the middle of the kitchen, painfully trying to decide whether to go to the medicine cupboard or the refrigerator. I really wanted to give the mangosteen juice the benefit of the doubt, but was very chicken to do so. My migraine was so bad and all I wanted to do was to basically knock myself out to try to sleep it away…which usually is an impossible thing to do. I caved & went for my medicine, but also took 1/2 a milk glass of the juice, and hoped for the best. I was very surprised when I actually got back to sleep (laying down, not uncomfortably upright in a chair) for another 4 hours! When I woke up I “hit the bottle for another shot” & went back to sleep again. This went on for the rest of the day, and I was pleasantly surprised to wake up the next morning with a very mild twinge of the remaining migraine, and shocked at how much energy I had. I had no trouble fuctioning normally that day…the first time ever in my history of migraines that I didn’t lose days of that week.
Miss Misery also uses this juice. However, like many teens, she jumped into this with both feet & then became “forgetful Jones”. But while she was regularly using it, she noticed several small things improving. She had more energy, and her joints didn’t become swollen as often as they used too. I’m trying to remind her to start using it more often though, because we did notice that difference.
I’m so glad that this product is available to Canadians through the internet. This product benefits the entire body from head to toe. Everyone has different experiences, however, but they all have the same thing in common…they want optimum health. Some experience minor benefits, some experience major benefits. I’m happy with what it has done for me & hope that over time my body will realize even more benefits.

I'm New to This
I've decided to join my niece and my daughter in the blogging world. My daughter, Miss Misery, practically forced this on me - I guess she thinks I need something "new" in my life to pass the time, considering I'll be 5o this time next week!
Although I’m closing in on the Big 5-0 in less than a week…I sure don’t feel that old (unless you count how my bones feel in damp or extremely cold weather). I can’t believe that my kids are growing up so fast. As most of the mothers out there know, time sure flies when you’re raising a family…there’s never enough time in a day. Even though it seems like “just yesterday we brought them home from the hospital”, in a blink of an eye they’ve gone and grown up on us and are embarking on their own lives, or are pretty much well on the way to doing so.
Our oldest got engaged last November & has been living with her fiance for several years. They bought a house together a couple of years ago which is only about 10 minutes away on the backroads. With their work schedules & busy lives we don’t nearly see enough of them, but now that the weather’s nicer I hope that will change. Our second daughter just finished her 1st year at college taking Medical Administration & is looking forward to banking some money working over the summer. One more year at school for her, then I imagine she’ll look for a place on her own once she has a real job. Daughter #3 just recently was accepted at college for Social Service Worker. It’s a two year program, but since she doesn’t drive yet she’ll only be home on the weekends. This will seem quite strange to her Dad & I since the first two girls commuted to school from home. We were able to get a nice place for Miss Misery a couple of weeks ago. The people who rent the basement apartment seem really nice and MM seemed quite comfortable with them. The bonus is that a friend of hers from her old public school will be sharing the apartment with her. They both are ecstatic that they have roommates that they know well & are looking forward to their new adventures on their own…although I know that MM is still a bit nervous about living on her own. She’ll only be about 45 minutes away so will be able to come home every weekend.
Our youngest will be 15 next month & is doing well at school. She’s been working part-time since September at a fast food joint & started another part-time job today at a kennel. Unfortunately, living in the country limits your job choices...not too much call to have tanning salons or spas on every corner! Once she’s 16, I’m sure that she’ll go for her licence immediately & save to buy a car so that she can have more choices of places to work that would be more appealing.
As for me, I went back to work in October, working at Tim Horton’s. Seemed like a little extra cash would be a good thing what with a wedding not far off in the future & two in college... and it won’t be long before our youngest will be getting ready for college herself. I started off working the midnight shift because I’m normally a night owl, but found that I missed my better half far too much & also missed out on too much with our girls. Seemed that any time off work was spent trying to catch up on my sleep. After five months of that I gave up & switched to day shifts...by then my sleep patterns were so messed up that now I have no problem starting at 5:30am. It only took me almost two months to actually sleep through the night again instead of waking up every 20 minutes. I actually have a life with my family again, which is a great thing!
