My name is Yvonne and I live in Levittown, Long Island, NY with my husband Howard (Howie). I am originally from Holland (The Netherlands). When I was 35 years old I packed 2 suitcases, sold everything that did not fit in and went to the Dominican Republic. With no place to live, no work and hardly any money I arrived. But I made it work!! I stayed there for almost 8 years.

I came to the States in January 2004 to become a live-in nanny for a friend I met in the Dominican Republic when I was managing a scuba diving center in Sosua. I did a lot of different things while I was living in the DR. My time in the DR was very interesting and definitely a learning experience.

In my first year here I met my husband through a dating website… yes ladies... it does work. You just have to find the right one! We have been happily married since October 16, 2005. Marrying my husband made me the lucky step mom to 2 wonderful teenagers (Ari - 22 and Gilya – almost 20). Gilya started UMASS last year and Ari is also in college, but lives with his mom. He drops in at least once a week. I miss the Sunday breakfasts with both of them like we used to have before Gilya moved to Massachusetts

What do I do every day? A lot. My hubby often asks me where I do get the energy from... maybe it is because I like what I do ;-) I live a happy life, following the Law of Attraction. I am grateful for all the little things in my life. And I try to live as healthy and natural as possible. From this point of view I joined a few companies as a consultant, simply because that was the best way to buy their products.

I got introduced to Tea Tree Oil years and years ago, when I lived in the Dominican Republic. I was managing a small hotel and while removing some dead flowers in front of the reception, I got stung by some huge insect. In my cheek!!! It swelled up to triple the size in no time. And of course it hurt. A German lady came to my rescue with this strong smelling oil and started rubbing it on my cheek. While I was crying out that it hurt, she just kept dripping the oil on my face on more and rubbing my cheek.

And voila! After about 20 minutes the swelling had gone down and the pain was a lot less. Of course my cheek was still sore, but it was incredible. I had been so scared, because I did not know what kind of an insect had stung me and in the DR all insects are sooo huge... real scary.

After I came to live on Long Island, NY I researched Essential Oils, Whole Foods and certain other Supplements. I learned a lot, asked questions, found answers and realized there is a huge difference between product A and product B.

At this moment I am using the best products I could find from the following companies:

The Wholefood Farmacy - We have seen the future of medicine and the future is food

After buying my first bottle of Lavender Oil, I started reading about Essential Oils and the next logical step was to become a consultant with Young Living Essential Oils. I am still learning, but Essential Oils are just fantastic.

I am not a real fan of going to the gym and I really need an incentive to exercise at home. What better little push then a chance to win $300 or even $1,000 each day just by logging in my home exercise program and following the easy instructions on the DVDs?

Give me 10 minutes, I will give you results

Since we can not be 'good' all the time and we need some CHOCOLATE once in a while... I could not resist this one. Take a look, it may have some great ideas for YOUR business.

What was missing ?? Two things. Making that perfect gift stand out with a little extra touch and the fact that greeting cards send by mail can make a difference.

The most fun, unique, creative gift wrap accessories on the planet: That s A Wrap

SEND OUT CARDS is a concept that is changing people's lives!

I also work almost full time in a child care center. I was never lucky enough to become a mom, but I like to surround myself with children... keeps me young! And it seems children also like to be around me. Their moms call me their private "Mary Poppins".
