What possible reason can I have for mentioning Aloe weight loss?
I expect you can guess. Yes – you’re quite correct! I need to shed some excess weight. Spending 3 weeks in Mexico last month led to too many temptations.
Not that I’m complaining. Mexico’s a fabulous place that I can’t wait to visit again. But next time I’ll be taking my Garcinia Plus and Forever Lean with me!
I can almost hear you asking why and my answer is that these wonderful supplements are part of a weight management process called NutriLean.
This is very effective, but don’t take my word for it as I might possibly be influenced by the fact that I’ve lost 5 lbs in the last 2 weeks. Best if you check out Aloe weight loss for yourself.
Welcome to My Aloe Vera Blog, where I plan to bring you plenty of aloe vera uses, news of aloe vera products I think you'll like and, from time to time, prizes! (If you'd like some Aloe advice, just go to my About Me page & get in touch.) Let's get going, then, shall we?

Aloe Vera Gelly - Better Than A Doctor In The House?
Is there a tube of Aloe Vera Gelly in your bathroom cabinet (or in your kitchen, or in your car)?
I always ensure that there’s one in mine. Why? Well, first let me explain just how carried away I sometimes get when asked about this particular product …
An acquaintance once stopped me in the street to ask whether I could recommend anything with high aloe content for general first aid. I launched straight into a description of Aloe Gelly’s many uses – my enthusiasm running away with me.
I still cringe when I think how I ended with the words “Personally, I think that having a tube of Gelly is better than having a doctor in the house!”
It was then that I remembered something I should never have forgotten in the first place: I was talking to a woman who had been married to a doctor, but who was now a widow.
I bet you can imagine how much I wished the earth would open and swallow me up. But fortunately the moment passed and I was quickly forgiven.
The incident taught me something, though, about being verbose – so if you want to know more you’ll need to click Aloe Vera Gelly.

Aloe Vera Products - All Around The House
Are there many aloe vera products in your home? I can hardly count how many there are in mine! I drink aloe daily, clean my teeth with it, shampoo and condition my hair, use an aloe lotion on my face ...
Before using the aloe lotion I wash with aloe liquid soap - oh, and once I've washed I ensure that I'm protected for the day with my aloe vera deodorant!
I bet that by now you're getting my general gist. The fact is, I simply love this stuff - and am far from being alone in my love of it.
No wonder, as - for example - my Aloe Ever-Shield Deodorant Stick contains no nasty aluminium salts or zirconium and can be used straight after shaving. It also won't stain clothes and lasts for simply ages.
Then there's my Aloe Lips - which is so much more than just a lip balm. I regard it as first aid in a stick - simply great for burns, bites and stings. I'll whisper the next bit ...
I've heard that some people find it helps with 'piles'. So I hope they buy two Aloe Lips - labeling one 'top' and one 'bottom' and keeping the second one in the fridge!
On that note, I think it's time to sign off for now about aloe vera products. Back soon!

Aloe Vera Cosmetics - Save Your Skin!
Hello again! Why am I writing today about aloe vera cosmetics? Well, I was rather alarmed by a newspaper feature last Saturday about the risk of skin damage through using make-up.
I don't know you (or your habits!) but if, like me, you're a woman who uses eye shadow then you'll probably be as shocked as I was to learn from experts that this is among the worst offenders in causing unsightly skin conditions.
The DAILY MAIL stated that the skin around the eyes is so sensitive that many women have allergic reactions to the strong chemicals in eye shadows, kohl pencils, mascaras and make-up remover.
This frequently leads to women having eczema or inflammation on their eyelids and nowhere else.
It was suggested that the best way to retain moisture in the tissue around your eyes is not to use cosmetics every day - or at least not those that contain strong chemicals such as preservatives which strip away the natural defences and dry out the skin.
Which brings me to the aloe vera cosmetics that I now use daily - without fear of a bad reaction.
Formulated with aloe vera to protect and moisturize, plus antioxidant vitamins, herbs and marine extracts, there are tones to suit every skin tone and every mood.
There are even seven color-coded palettes of shades for eyes, cheeks, face and lips - perfectly suited to all skin types, including sensitive skin.
With all this aloe vera on offer, why would any woman run the risk of skin-damage?

Aloe - And Why The Flu and Cold Bugs Stay Away
Well, of course, I can't claim that I know this for certain - but I believe that the reason I seldom succumb to the bugs that keep afflicting others is simply the aloe vera that I drink daily!
Not just any brand of aloe, mind - it has to be Forever Living's. Why? Because in my view it is the 'Rolls-Royce' of aloe drinks - and that isn't just my opinion. Hear it from esteemed TV journalist Martyn Lewis and a distinguished doctor, too, via this link.
I gather that this drinking gel boosts my immune system on a daily basis, detoxifies my system, acts as a natural anti-inflammatory (keeping aches and pains at bay) and - what else? Oh yes, it gives me an internal spring-clean!
Is it this 'spring-clean' that helps put the spring in my step that I mentioned the other day? Who can say?

Aloe Vera DID put a spring in my step!
Hello again! If you read my last post you'll know how my dog benefited from his daily intake of Aloe Vera. And I told you that I'd let you know how I got on with this drink.
Well, in the beginning I only took it to keep Sam company. No, perhaps that's a slight inaccuracy! I was curious to see whether I would detect any difference in how I felt. The thing is, I already felt healthy. So how could drinking Forever's Aloe possibly help?
No question but that it helped my energy levels. About three weeks after starting on the drink (that sounds a bit suspicious, doesn't it?) I noticed that I had more energy than I knew what to do with. Sam quickly capitalized on this, taking me for ever longer walks and ensuring that we seldom returned home before he was ready.
The next thing I noticed was that my nails were less brittle than they had been and didn't chip easily. And my hair seemed thicker - and to need cutting more often. Was all this coincidental?
It could have been, had these developments not continued - standing the test of time. Then, as winter approached, I realized I was virtually the only person I knew without a cold or flu ...
I've now been drinking aloe vera for over ten years and found throughout that time that my energy levels have remained high and "bugs" of all kinds have virtually passed me by. Can that be a coincidence? Somehow I doubt it, don't you?

I feel great from my daily aloevera intake!
Is aloevera worthy of attention? You bet! I said yesterday that I'd be back soon - and wow, here I am, back! That's because I love my subject and would like the whole world to love it too. You see, aloe is special. How special?
Well, it can help our health. Isn't that plenty in itself? I had my first inkling of its powers over a decade ago when my dog's limbs stiffened up with arthritis. I was given a tub of aloevera gel and told to pour 60 mls daily on to his dinners. Can you imagine my astonishment (as I was a skeptic, back then!) when, within two weeks, Sam was frolicking like a spring lamb?
Yes, I was astonished - and at first put his new lease of life down to coincidence. Obviously an aloe drink couldn't work miracles ... could it? After all, aloe was 'just' a plant and none of the stuff his vet had given him had helped my Beardie. Vets surely knew better than anyone else about how to help pets.
Time went by and Sam's limbs continued to be rubbery instead of stiff. He was more like a puppy than an 'old man' of eight. And people noticed. They began asking questions, the chief one being "What's Sam on? He's like a different dog." This was soon followed with: "Can I have some? Would it help my Rottweiler's stiffness?"
Well, it did - and in the end even Sam's vet remarked on the change in him and wanted the aloevera for his other patients. Not long afterwards I was asked to write a feature for a national dog magazine. You can read it, if you wish, via this link.
Finally I decided to share Sam's daily aloe habit. No, my limbs weren't stiff like his had been - but I could do with a frolic! Would the aloe drink put a spring in my step as it had in Sam's? More on that in my next post ...

MY ALOE VERA
Hello - and a big welcome to my blog! Let's, together, explore some of the wonders of aloe vera. I expect you've heard of it. Most people have these days, haven't they? It has suddenly become a bit of a buzzword. There's a good reason for that, though. Actually, that's an understatement! There are plenty of reasons! We'll be going into some of those in my next posts. For today I simply wanted to say how glad I am to have your company ... and how much I'm looking forward to meeting up again very soon. Watch this space!
