| Just a little note regarding combined shipping:
Yes, I do combine shipping however I cannot combine shipping on different brands of products due to the fact that these are shipped from different locations.
For example:
I cannot combine shipping if you purchase an Herbalife product and a Watkins product. I personally ship all Herbalife products but Watkins are shipped direct from the manufacturer. If I happen to have an item in my own stock then I will gladly combine the shipping otherwise you will receive an invoice which will reflect two different shipping charges.
Herbalife & Arbonne ships from CA
Watkins ships from MN
Vitamin Power ships from NY
Veriuni ships from NE |

What's
the BUZZ?
If you've turned on the radio or television lately, you've probably heard the term Green more than once. Seems that these days everyone is going Green and reducing their carbon footprint. But what do these terms really mean? They are buzzwords that we are going to continue hearing a lot about, so let's find out what all the BUZZ is about!
Green is a shorthand phrase referring to sustaining Earth's resources. It is a vague term that can be used in many different contexts. But footprints are a bit of a different story. Think about the way you live your life. How much water does it take to support your actions each day? Do you enjoy half-hour showers or are you a get-in and get-out kind of person? Doesn't seem like it makes much of a difference, but it does add up and the longer your showers the bigger your ecological footprint. Ecological footprint, what's that? It is the amount of water and food needed to meet your daily needs throughout your lifetime. Now, what about your carbon footprint? This is another term we hear about almost on a daily basis. What it boils down to is really very simple, it is the amount of energy you consume to conduct your life. Imagine how much electricity, natural gas, and gasoline you use to run your home, power your car and even get that morning bowl of cereal to your table. It all adds up and just a few small steps can help to reduce it.
We can go into an in depth discussion about footprints and being Green, but lets focus on carbon footprints.
Your carbon footprint is the amount of energy you use to live day-to-day. By reducing your footprint, not only are you conserving energy and the planet, but you are also saving money. Checkout these simple carbon footprint reducers…who knew cutting your carbon footprint could also save you money?
- Turn off televisions, stereos, home theater systems, and other electronics when not in use. Try this: plug your televisions and other home theater electronics in a power strip with an on/off switch. When you turn your television and other electronics off for the night, flip the switch on the power strip and totally eliminate wasted power.
- Save over 50% on your homes lighting cost when you replace a standard incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb. They last longer too!
- Always wash clothes in cold water. Not only does this preserve the color longer, it saves you money and conserves energy.
- Use your consumer power! Support companies that are making an effort to improve communities and the environment through Greener manufacturing practices, charitable support, and product offerings that are safe for your family and the environment. Watkins offers a full line of natural, eco-friendly spices and extracts, personal care and home care.

The common household disinfectant cleaner, that many of us have come to rely on, can make us sick - who knew? The fact is bleach can damage eyes, skin and lungs and is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an antimicrobial pesticide. That's right, a pesticide. Not only is bleach considered a pesticide, it also releases dioxins and mercury into the environment during its production. Yuck! Research is showing that while bleach might whiten whites, it doesn't always disinfect surface areas like countertops and fixtures. In fact, in order for bleach to disinfect these areas, it needs to sit for 30 minutes, and if the area is dirty or hasn't been cleaned in advance, you just wasted 30 minutes for nothing! Take into consideration the recent uprising in bacteria that are anti-biotic resistant (believed to be linked to the over use of bleach and other anti-bacterial products) and the risks are simply not worth it.
Bleach Alternatives
Disinfecting Surfaces
Minimize dirt on hard surfaces with frequent mini-cleanings using a naturally derived cleaner, like Watkins Natural All-Purpose Cleaner. Not only will you clean-up dirt, you will refresh your soul with the natural scent of Lavender, Aloe & Green Tea or Lemon. Here are some other ways to limit bacteria in your home - beware of the sponge:
- Clean your cleaning tools: Regularly wash your kitchen sponge in the dishwasher or zap it in the microwave for about 10 seconds and let it dry.
- Drop the sponge: Better yet, use a clean micro fiber cloth to wipe down countertops and other hard surfaces - using a sponge will just redeposit the bacteria you are trying so hard to clean-up.
- Keep it clean: Before and after you prepare food on a hard surface, use a good all-purpose cleaner, like Watkins Natural All-Purpose Cleaner, and a clean cloth to wipe down the area.
Laundry
Remove stains, whiten whites and conserve the environment at the same time with Watkins Lemon Liquid Laundry Detergent. The three times concentrated power makes this detergent a Green alternative to many major brand detergents & bleaches and it reduces waste by using less than half the plastic of traditional 100 oz. bottles.
- Pre-treat stains with Watkins Liquid Laundry Detergent.
- In the summer use Mother Nature to your advantage, good old fashioned sun-light offers the same whitening power as bleach and it's free!

Getting Back to Our Roots
For 140 years, Watkins has been America’s pioneer in natural living products and we plan to continue this tradition for generations to come. Today's trends show the consumer’s demand for natural, organic products is on the rise. We are pleased that we have been ahead of the trend since the beginning with our offering of Organic Herbs and Spices, Natural Personal Care and Natural Home Care — making Watkins the brand to turn to for all of your natural living needs! Going back as far as 1917, with our Pure Vegetable Oil Soap, you can see how Watkins has been developing natural solutions for your home and family for quite some time. Clearly we are not strangers to natural, organic products!
As we look to the future, we will continue to provide products that are good for the environment, your family and meet the growing consumer demand. Our goal is to use past, present and future knowledge of natural to take our products to an even higher level of natural!
Committed to Improving our Community
The need for companies to practice “green” manufacturing is more important than ever. Watkins has been a pioneer in natural living, utilizing the finest natural ingredients since 1868. We continue our commitment to you and the environment by implementing processes that reduce waste and conserve energy. Together we can make a positive impact on our environment.
How does Watkins reduce waste and make a positive impact on the earth?
- Offer a full line of natural personal care products with formulas that are at least 95% natural, with many 99% or more.
- Offer a full line of plant-based home care products that are free of pollutants and biodegradable.
- Offer a full line of USDA certified 100% Organic Herbs and Spices and All-Natural Pure Extracts.
- Adhere to a strict paper, plastic, and aluminum recycling program.

- Gravity fed filling processes: We fill our bulk dry mixes using time-tested gravity feeds. This allows us to conserve energy that would normally be used to power a pneumatic or conveyor system.
- Use lighter weight product packaging. Simply reducing our plastic bottle weight for various products has saved thousands of pounds of plastic from waste.
- Encourage vendors to use renewable energy and cut waste.
- Utilize Lean business and manufacturing practices to help eliminate waste and streamline operations.
