Karen P - Arbonne Independent Consultant

Hello 🔵 It’s official. Signed at 3.23 PM. It was even on TV. Mine really turned blue. Don't forget that tomorrow starts the new Facebook rule (aka... new name, META) where they can use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today!!!
I do not authorize META, Facebook or any entity associated with Facebook to use my photos, information, messages or posts, past or future.
With this statement, I notify Facebook that
it is strictly prohibited to disclose, copy, distribute or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. Violation of privacy may be punishable by law.
Here's how to do If you are thinking of getting off FB because of the volume of sales ads and trash stuff. So hold your finger anywhere in this post and click ′copy’. Go to your page where it says ‘What's on your mind?’ Tap your finger anywhere in the blank field. Click paste. This upgrades the system.
Hello new and old friends!
IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!! 👍👊🙏
Hold your finger anywhere in this message and “copy” will appear. Click “copy”. Then go to your page, create a new post and place your finger anywhere in the empty field. “Paste” will appear and click Paste.
This will bypass the system….
He who does nothing consents

According to the show 60 Minutes:
Just in case you missed it: a lawyer advised us to post this. The violation of privacy can be punished by law NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. Every member must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.
I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA.

If all 9 seem overwhelming, start with one or two or as many as YOU can look forward to each day and add when you’re ready…

Tag your friends below to share! Here’s the truth about the ingredients in Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Treats:

❌ BHT: A controversial preservative (also found in several Kellogg’s cereals like Froot Loops!) that is linked to cancer in some animal studies. It is an endocrine disruptor that interferes with hormones.

❌ TBHQ: Controversial preservative that may harm the immune system and increase the risk of food allergies.

❌ DATEM: Contains trans fat which is correlated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

❌ NATURAL & ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS: Proprietary mixtures concocted in a lab to make food taste irresistible so that you keep coming back for more.

I used to make homemade Rice Krispies Treats for Ryan and his friends all the time. I wish I had known about a healthier option back then!

Love Yourself so you can Love others ❤️ (Thank you for this Marina)

Please, please educate yourself and stay away from anything APEEL!

APEEL has a presence in 8 countries, operating 30 supply networks and distributing produce to 40 retail partners, which then goes out to tens of thousands of stores around the world.

Right now selected stores that are participating carry mainly avocados and cucumbers coated in the invisible spray, but the company says they have also developed ‘solutions’ for limes, mandarins, apples and oranges.

Apeel spray can’t be washed off no matter how much scrubbing — also according to the FAQs. And forget any confidence with the word “organic”. On their website they state, “We have formulations that are OMRI Listed® for the growers and distributors of USDA Certified Organic produce.

APEEL has already secured the following partnerships: ⚠️⛔️

Nature’s Pride (large importer of Europe’s avocados)
Sage Fruit Co. (Washington State organic apple producer)
Del Monte (avocados)
Eco Farms (avocados)
Del Rey (avocados)
Horton Fruit Company (avocados)
RV Aguacates (avocados)
Alpine Fresh (asparagus)
Beta (asparagus)
Farm Direct Supply (asparagus)
La Venta (asparagus)
SiCar Farms (limes)
Many other fruits and vegetables including tomatoes, leafy greens, cucumbers, raspberries, as well as citrus can use the Edipeel coating, with undoubtedly more produce being added in the future. Apeel’s website even offers a store locator to find where their products are carried near you.

Apeel is (or will be) available at the following grocers:
Costco
Trader Joes
Gelsons
Ralphs
Sprouts
Vons
Walmart
Whole Foods
Kroger
Harps Foods
Wakefern
Price Right
Fairway Market
Target
Bristol Farms and more

For more information, check out APEEL’s own website and FAQs:

https://www.apeel.com/us-en/product-safety-information

On the surface, this part alone caught my attention:

“Apeel's Edipeel is composed entirely of a mixture of food grade glycerolipids derived from edible plant oils, specifically the food additive mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, which conform to the specifications set forth by the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), and the European Union.”

Mono- and diglycerides contain trans-fat, which promotes inflammation in the body and has been associated with heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and obesity.

Just another reminder of the many reasons to do our best to eat local, traditional, organic, biodynamic and chemical-free foods. And, if there was ever a time to garden, now is it! 🥴
