What is Wellness?

Well I've been wondering the same thing myself.  I thought I knew what wellness was.  But as I read articles,  visit different sites. . . it seems that EVERYONE  has a DIFFERENT  definition of what  WELLNESS is. 

My,  Jordan Essentials TEAM and I are working together to host a WELLENSS SEMINAR    on January 18th  where Dr. Dawn Bush will be our guest speaking,  speaking on Women's Health Issues  (January 18th)  click here to request more info.   
 
Since we are planning this even I wanted put into my mind what the OFFICIAL DEFINITION is. 
 
 

Websters Full Definition of WELLNESS  

: the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal     First known use of the Term  1683.
 

Wikipedia Full Definition of WELLNESS

Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind, body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being. It has been used in the context of alternative medicine since Halbert L. Dunn, M.D., began using the phrase high level wellness in the 1950s. The modern concept of wellness did not, however, become popular until the 1970s.[1]
 
The term has been defined by the Wisconsin-based National Wellness Institute as an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more successful existence. [1] This is consistent with a shift in focus away from illness in viewing human health, typical of contexts where the term wellness is used. In other words, wellness is a view of health that emphasizes the state of the entire being and its ongoing development.
 

Through my eyes,  the long and short of  the definition of wellness is to be viewed through your own individual eyes.    For some wellness might mean  being able to run that 10K  while for other's it's walking one block  further then yesterday.  It's  loosing 5 or 50 pounds.  For others it's about eating better,  while for others it's using natural remedies versus pain medication. . . 


Personally I know that they way I look at WELLNESS  now is not the same as I looked at it as a teenager,  or evan as I looked at it last year or 6 months ago . . for me it' evlovling as I become more educated and defining what I want for myself and my family. 

What does WELLNESS mean to you?

Fact Friday: Glycerin Soaps

All soaps are not the same and they can be very different in their ingredients. For example, while some soaps are extremely moisturizing, other soaps make skin dry. Glycerin soaps are often considered one of the most indulgent and moisturizing soaps available. Their unique properties allow them to be both effective and moisturizing on all types of skin. The benefits of glycerin soap can lead to healthy and moisturized skin.

Like with many things,  I did a little research on "Glycerin Soaps" so that I can answer the questions asked.   This article from Krista Sheehin on ehow is very informative.

Lavender and Mint

Tonight I'll be attending a "Wine Tasting ~ Networking Event for Organization of Women in International Trade.  This is an organization that is very dear to my heart.  In part because I was one of the founding Directors and Board Members of the Houston Chapter.  

I am a Gemini (if you follow the stars),  the sign of the twins. . . while I'm not a twin I do have two parts of my business life that combined keep me balanced.   Dixie Cullen services both domestic and international customers alike.   It's organizations like Women in International Trade that have help provide me the tools that I have needed and the are always there to answer questions when I need direction.   Today is the start of our 19th year in business.  It's hard to believe,  but it's been a roller coaster ride that has allowed me to grow and give back.

At tonight's event I will be donating a Jordan Essentials Premier Set in Lavender and Mint to their annual scholarship fundraising event.

Tuesday Tip: Help for Dry Hair

November Health Magazine shares. "Have dry hair?A great at home treatment is apply a rich conditioner and put on a shower cap until the end of your shower. The steam makes it absorb much better. Take cap off, use a wide tooth comb and then rinse. Your hair will feel so much softer and combats dry hair this winter."



The weather is cooling,  something we appreciate here in Houston,  however being from Pennsylvania and having family still there I'm quite familiar with Dry Winter Hair.   However Blow Dryers,  Curling Irons and Flat Irons can also have a major drying effect.   Check out this great tip.
