As I was reading American Baby Magazine this morning, I came across a 9 page advertisement from Fisher-Price. The spread included 7 pieces of a new collection called Precious Planet. So of course considering the large advertisement, I had to find out what was so special about this collection that 9 pages were dedicated to it. &feflt;/a> The Precious Planet collection is themed with cute and colorful animals and all the items look so comfortable that I can’t help but wish I was small enough to fit in them. Most of the items incorporate music and sound and there is something unique about each piece that makes you want it for your child. The Precious Planet Collection has some great products that I’ll soon be getting for a baby shower gift or for my own baby. Check out Market America’s Baby Category for other great baby products!
Finally all the hard work has paid off! Market America now sells Horse supplies under the Pets Supplies category! You can find all your equine needs here, such as Halters, Barn Hardware, English and Western Tack, Supplements, etc. Check out the pages and pages of great products that we have to offer! You’re sure to love it as much as I do. Once you’ve checked out the Horse Section, please cfefome back and leave your comments. I would love to hear your feedback so I can work to make it that much better!
According to a new study in the American Journal of Epidemiology, long-term use of a multivitamin may reduce the risk of dying from heart disease by 16%. Researchers analyzed the 10-year use of multivitamin and vitamins C and E supplements on 5-year total mortality, and death from cancer or cardiovascular disease (CVD). Data from 77,719 Washington State residents aged between 50 and 76 were obtained by a self-administered questionnaire. The data showed that the use of multivitamins and vitamin E were associated with 16 and 28 per cent decreased risk of death from CVD. Click the following link for more information:

In these economic times, everyone is looking for a way to save a few bucks. So here are some money saving tips for traveling to International Convention this year:
Adjust your heating and cooling systems at home to save money and energy while you are not there.
If flying, book flights early to save on rising fares, or use a travel site such as travelocity.
Ask as friend to drop you off at the airport instead of paying for parking.
Most airlines are charging up to $15 per 50lb bag so bring only one and weigh it before you leave the house.
If possible, coordinate with others traveling from your hometown to carpool or even organize a bus for a large group.
Share a hotel room with one of your fellow travelers, and be sure to check out the special rates at the host hotel. Don’t forget to mention you are with Market America for your low rate.
Check with the local Convention and Visitors Bureau for coupons to receive discounts at local restaurants.
Stop at the grocery store and stock up on snacks and bottled water, so you aren’t eating at a restaurant every meal.
Take advantage of the hotel’s coffee maker and skip the Starbucks run.
Take advantage of discounted bus transportation to and from the coliseum- call 1-800-344-1541 for more info.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at this year’s International Convention in Greensboro, NC!

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the nominees for the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards in the early morning hours of July 16. This year many of the nominees come as huge surprises. The Big Bang Theory for Outstanding Comedy Series is arguably this season’s most talked about shows, as well as Family Guy in this year’s running’s for Outstanding Comedy Series rather than left in the Outstanding Animated Series with its fellow competitors. The comedy series 30 Rock received record of 22 nominations, while past year’s big winner Entourage received its lowest number of nominations yet.

June 25, 2009 marks a day the world of pop music wept. Suffering from cardiac arrest, Michael Jackson passed away at the age of 50. Although he started in the business at such at young age, the impact that he had on the world of music at different stages of his career and the ability to reinvent himself each time was astounding. Known as an international pop icon, Michael Jackson had a talent that no one could match. The way he would glide across the stage in his signature Moonwalk move, or the way he created vocal harmonies and hit those recognizable high notes, or who could forget about that legendary sequined glove that became a trademark for a generation.
Watching the memorial service and hearing the words from those that were close to him, made you realize. With all of the media and controversy that followed him throughout his career showed that to us he may have been the ‘King of Pop’ but to his family and friends he was a caring and devoted father, a loyal friend, a talented and inspiring brother, a loving son.
Whether as an idol, friend or relative Michael Jackson will live on forever in the hearts of everyone whose life he was a part of. From the days of The Jackson 5 to the days of ‘Beat It’, ‘Billy Jean’, ‘Thriller’ and ‘Man in the Mirror’; the music he created will forever be idolized and an inspiration to artists of all types. Find all of his most famous hits at marketamerica.com
As a Nashville, TN native, I have seen how Steve McNair made a big impact and know his lasting impressions will be missed. The 36 year old quarterback who played with the Oilers (’95-‘96) and Titans (’99-‘05), and Ravens (’06-‘07) died on Saturday, July 4, 2009.
To all his teammates, he was known as the “go to guy”. Anything that you asked McNair would do it and with a positive attitude. McNair will be remembered for not only taking the Titans to the 2000 Super Bowl but also for being a leader on and off the field. As an athlete, I’ve been able to relate to McNair as he was an inspiration when it comes to hard work, ethic, determination, dedication, and the will to do whatever it takes to win on and off the field.
While McNair will be greatly missed in the NFL, as well as by family, friends and the local community, he will definitely be remembered by those whose lives he was able to influence. Some of his greatest accomplishments throughout his career included: 174 touchdowns, and 119 interceptions.
Honor Steve McNair’s career with select memorabilia from marketamerica.com
As we continue with our everyday activities, don’t forget to “Remember the Titans”.
Kid’s parties have become more and more complicated these days, not to mention, getting your children outside on a beautiful day can be a real challenge. One way to put a little bounce into your parties is with inflatable bounce houses. You probably have seen them at fairs and children’s events before, but now they are available for personal use as well. Marketamerica.com offers different styles and options of these fun products from Bounceland. Bounceland inflatables are great for jumping, climbing, and even water sliding. They are a good way to make parties fun and different or to pull your kids away from the TV. Perfect for your child’s party or just a fun summer afternoon. Bounceland features a variety of themes and come with everything you need to set up. My son sure loved the slide inflatable that I got him. He even wets it down with the water hose when its too hot outside.
A few of you asked how to sell Market America's Voitel services. I am encouraged by the drive you all have to promote our Voitel solutions and it would be timely to arm all ma distributors and all interested Voitel partners with the tools needed to sell these services successfully and with confidence worthy of your efforts.
Just as an FYI: we are in the process of scripting and producing some downloadable documents (Battlecards, training modules, presentations) that will support your efforts soon. Please look for those materials on Unfranchise®, under the 'training and downloads' link after our event in August.
I thought that in the meanwhile though, you might be able to leverage some of these FAQ's Download FAQ's on using Voitel (PDF link) for answers to some common questions you may have on these services (Adobe Acrobat required to view the PDF).
So how do you use this information to sell Voitel? Strictly as a suggestion, and for instance, you could reference those '10 Reasons to Switch to Voitel' blog I posted a few weeks ago in conjunction with these FAQs so you can support the education process, create Voitel awareness and then navigate that sale to a 'closed' sale.
Please email me at voitelq&a@marketamerica.com if you would like an example of how to 'spin' and integrate this information into a 30 second elevator pitch or email me if you have suggestions you would like to share with our audience.
Happy Selling!

As you may remember, Senior Vice President of Market America, Loren Ridinger, was recently featured in a Q&A session on the popular fashion and beauty blog, A Mom In Red High Heels. Since then, Loren has become a guest columnist for the blog. Check out Loren's first blog post, where she talks Motives® cosmetics and dishes some of her best - kept beauty secrets.
Market America Senior Vice President, Loren Ridinger recently hosted the first- ever Motives® Muse event for some of the top professionals in the beauty and fashion industries. Beauty editors from magazines such as Good Housekeeping, Lucky, SELF, Allure, and US Weekly attended the event which took place at Loren and J.R.'s penthouse in New York City. The concept for the night was Muse, and the event featured three lovely--and very different-- looks from three of the most beautiful muses in history: Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn.
Well, the reviews are starting to pour in, and the verdict can be summed up in one word: success! Most recently, the event was featured on Marie Claire editor, Shyema Azam's popular beauty blog, Beauty and The Feast.
Here's an excerpt from Shyema's rave review:
"So, I have to admit, when I walked in the place, I automatically assumed this would be another fancy makeup line that no one can afford and I’d really have to dig to find “what’s different.” But the price range is a refreshing $12-$25. And here’s my favorite part — they were making customized foundation right at the event. I was watching the other girls get it done and it was looking really, really good. I was on my way out, but after seeing that I sat to get fefmine done."
Keep up with all the latest Motives® news over on Loren's blog, and check out more photos of the Motives® Muse event on Flick'r.
If you own a horse then you know how expensive they can be. I own four and it seems like I spend more money keeping them up than I do on myself. Every time I turn around its time to buy feed, hay, get their feet trimmed, replace used up supplements or new vet bills. It seems like the bill for my horses is constantly going up. For a limited time now, Horse.com is offering $5 shipping on all their products. Not only do you get affordable shipping but they also guarantee to have the lowest prices. I’m going to be taking advantage of this special and order my supplements for a lot less then I’ve been paying in my local feed store. I’m about to order more Platform Joint Supplement for my guys and it’s only going to cost $5 in shipping, no other FOB charges are being added on. What a Deal!!! Hurry up and stock up on your horse supplies before this offer ends!

I feel like a proud parent! And as a proud parent you have to know that wild horses could not drag me away from sharing the following Voitel testimonial.
William, an Unfranchise® owner speaks about the Voitel Wireless Broadband card. This is what he said, "I use that wireless card and it's great! It was just a couple of weeks ago that my wife, Eve, and I were at a coffee shop going over our MA Legacy Builders information when the wireless in the coffee shop died. I pulled it out, our handly little wireless card, fired it up and we kept on working! It was great! You literally have broadband everywhere."
I wish there was a bumper sticker that is in the same vein as those like, 'My kid is on the honor roll'. Ya'know, one statement that says it all, one that will make people think. Something like--- "Have you Voitel-ed Lately!".
If any of you have more to share or want to comment on your Voitel experience, please email me at Voitel Q & A at Market America.com. I hope to see you all in Greensboro in August.
Regards, Jamie Kennington Director of Telecom Services for Market America & Voitel
What an awesome month of June! With so many events going on, it’s hard to keep up sometimes. Let’s take a look back at what went on during the month of June.
Chinese Boot Camp: Everyone was a winner at Chinese Boot Camp this year in sunny Las Vegas! The speakers were dynamic and the energy of the crowd was explosive. I can’t wait until next year to do it all over again.
Moving Up Seminar: Talk about some great positive energy, that’s what you felt the moment you stepped on board during one of the three Moving Up Seminars in June. The speakers and attendees were in perfect harmony while exploring the infinite possibilities when it comes to growing your business. And just imagine all this, while on board a luxury yacht!
nutraMetrix Consultant Training: Wait, there’s more! We also had two nutraMetrix Consultant Trainings in one month! As you can see, we are busier than ever, and the biggest event of all is right around the corner!
So whether you joined us for Chinese Boot Camp for the first time or are a veteran who attends all of the nutraMetrix trainings and still learns something new each time, thank you for making all of our events such a success! With the 2009 International Convention right around the corner, July and August are sure to be busy months!
For most people, it seems that the most difficult part of exercising is actually walking out the door to do it. For me, the first 10 minutes are always the most difficult. It often takes me a while to get warmed up and get in the "groove". With Torch Pre-Burn, you can prepare your body for an energized, efficient workout. Taking Torch Pre-Burn prior to exercise gives your body the fuel it needs to operate at peak performance. Torch Pre-Burn helps to increase energy and enhances ATP production. It also supports healthy nitric oxide levels which supports blood flow to the muscles and brain.
Torch Pre-Burn comes in convenient packets and is available in two delicious flavors: wildberry and lemon-lime. Give your body the support it needs to power through your workout. Click here to learn more about Torch Pre-Burn and to buy yours today!
