Is Your Makeup "Clean"?



Above is a what you are putting on your skin and getting absorbed into your body if you use conventional makeup!  You literally EAT what you put on your skin. Women bombard themselves daily with chemicals and toxins from the moment they wake up to when they lay down in bed at night.  When you look at the ingredient list on your cosmetics and skin care products you should be able to pronounce and identify what each and every ingredient is. If you don't recognize something it is more than likely a chemical. 

A few signs and symptoms that are linked to chemical and toxin overload: 





*I offer two very affordable detox services including a toxicity assessment where we can pinpoint what toxins you are putting in, on, and around your body.  After your appointment you will walk away less toxic and with a whole list of natural alternatives to use! (I do not sell products, just services, health, and education) :-)  Interested? Please contact me for more information! 712.790.5883 or Jackie@OptimimWellnessMN.com

Happenings at Optimum Wellness LLC

So many things happening lately!! I have been a busy girl! I wanted to share a few photos with you from some of my past events and share a few ideas I had for upcoming events.

I moved back to Iowa in April and have been plugging away with my business here! I am renting an office in the Center for Chiropractic Wellness right on Central Ave and it has been perfect! My first big event was at Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative where I spoke about Food Intolerances to the employees.

My Office

The summer consisted of monthly group grocery store tours at the Estherville Hy-Vee, speaking about Holistic Healthy Eating and Weight Loss at the Couch to 5K Program, teaching  BURST exercise classes in the park two times a week in Graettinger to a group of 20-25 women and in the basement of the First Presbyterian Church in Estherville as well as a few drop-in classes at the Regional Wellness Center!

Booth at Back to School Bash


August was a busy month also- I had a booth at Sweet Corn Days, Back to School Bash at the Estherville Lincoln Central school and at Iowa Lakes Community College and gave a fun demonstration at the Downtown Market in library square called "Snacking Smarter" where I made two healthy snacks to sample and talked about making better snack choices! Yoga Okoboji hosted my Toxicity and Digestion workshop and I had a wonderful turnout of 13 attendees at the grocery store tour right after at the Spirit Lake Hy-Vee!!

During the last half of August I had a Back to School Supply Drive where my clients brought in supplies in exchange for a discount on any of my services. They filled my backpack and I took it to Demoney, the elementary school in Estherville. It feels so good to give back to the community!

September included another group grocery store tour at the Estherville Fareway and a Cooking with Quinoa Class where I made up two dishes and educated the attendees on the history, health benefits, different ways to cook quinoa, and shared some delicious recipes!  Last Friday I volunteered as the guest storyteller at the local library. I read some books about healthy eating and exercise and then we made the collages! Food is fuel for your body just like a car needs gas to run! The kids loved it! I even brought apples for them as a healthy snack!!  I also gave a seminar about Heart Attack and Stroke to the employees at Biofuel Energy Corporation, the ethanol plant in Fairmont, MN and talked about prevention strategies and lifestyle changes to incorporate into their daily lives.

On October 7th I will be hosting a non-toxic cleaning party (Norwex) where you can learn how to clean your whole house with just a cloth and water! A client appreciation open house and a group grocery store tour are also in the works! December I'm planning a Natural Body Care Workshop where we will be making non-toxic skin care products for holiday gifts (toothpaste, lotion, deodorant, body scrubs, soap, lip balm, shampoo, conditioner, etc)  Many things to look forward to! Please keep checking back for event times/days and updates!

Be Well!!
