FAMILY TRAVEL TIPS

from TravelingMom.com

Here are some tips for lowering your carbon footprint on your next vacation.

1. Pack light. Every extra pound uses more fuel, whether you are flying or driving.

2. Turn off the lights. You do it to save energy at home, where you pay the electric bills. Do it on the road to help the hotel reduce its unnecessary energy use. It won’t save you money, but it could help save the ozone layer.

3. Turn off the A/C. When you leave the room, turn off the air conditioning. It will help the environment and you won’t freeze when you return to the room dripping wet from the pool.

4. Stay on the walkway. Walking in the vegetation can damage the growth and kill the plant, animal and insect life that lives there.

5. Shop and eat locally. Stay in a locally-owned bed and breakfast rather than a big resort and eat at restaurants that use locally-grown foods.

6. Think about ways to help. If you’re traveling to a place plagued by poverty, look for a local charity before you go. Stop in during your trip to volunteer for a few hours and let your kids see how other kids live. Then ask the kids to come up with more ideas about how your family can help.

CANCER & WELLNESS CORNER

Fatigue After Treatment

It’s been a year since my last chemo treatment and I still feel wiped out. The fatigue is chronic and sometimes I wonder if I’m getting sick again.

My Oncologist has assured me that I’m fine. My most recent scans and blood work show no signs of cancer. Still, I can’t help but wonder why my body feels so worn out.

By now I should be feeling back to my old self again, right? Not necessarily.

According to experts at the National Cancer Institute, fatigue is the most common complaint during the first year of recovery. Doctors aren’t exactly sure why, but suspect anemia (having too few red blood cells) or having a weak immune system might be to blame.

Poor nutrition, not drinking enough liquids and depression can also be causes. Pain can make fatigue worse.

Be sure to talk to your doctor or nurse about what could be causing your fatigue. Ask about:

1) Medications you might be taking that might affect your energy level.

2) Exercise programs that might help, such as walking.

3) Specialists who might help you such as physical therapists, nutritionists, or mental health care providers.

Here are some ideas for coping with fatigue:

1) Plan your day. Be active at the time of day when you feel most alert and energetic.

2) Take short naps or breaks between activities.

3) Try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day.

4) Let others help you. They might cook a meal, run errands or do the laundry. If no one offers, ask for help. Family and friends might be willing to help but may not know what to do.

That has been my experience. Once I reached out, the support was overwhelming. I learned quickly that no matter what you’re going through, you don’t have to do it alone.

I’ll have more next month in the Cancer Corner.

PREGNANCY CORNER

ENTREPRENEUR CORNER

Getting onto Store Shelves

At Psi Bands, we have always believed in giving back to our fellow entrepreneurs, and in keeping with this philosophy, I invite anyone seeking tips on how to land their products on stores shelves to check out my blog, Both Sides of the Retail Table.

Each week I, along with former Target buyer Vanessa Ting, discuss strategies and offer advice to fellow entrepreneurs about how to get their product(s) onto major retailer’s shelves.

In a recent post on our blog, I addressed the question of whether or not an entrepreneur should hire a sales rep in order to do business with a specific large retailer. If so, where would one go about finding one? In my opinion, it is not necessary to hire a sales rep, however, there are many reasons to do so.

A sales rep should be very familiar with how that retailer does business, know their category review periods, know when decisions are made, how to get things finalized, and what negotiating tactics work best with this retailer. Ideally your sales rep would work in the same city as the retailer and be a likable and strong presence for you when you are not there.

To see the full story, please visit our blog for this and many other interesting discussions.

Many of you making your way in the entrepreneurial world are familiar with Tory Johnson of Good Morning America, and her Spark & Hustle program. (If you are not, you need to be!) I am honored that Tory has chosen to continuously feature “Both Sides of the Retail Table” in her Spark & Hustle e-newsletter.

I am very open to feedback and hearing some of your tips on dealing with retailers. Please feel free to share your comments here.

Thank you for your continued support and interest in Psi Bands. If you ever don’t want to receive these e-mails, please simply unsubscribe. But, we’d rather you didn’t!

To address these varied interests, each month we will have interesting tips and facts in four areas: Pregnancy, Travel, Cancer/Wellness and Entrepreneurs. While many of you may be interested in more than one of these segments, we hope to provide some pertinent information to our entire readership. If you have any feedback, we’d love to hear from you at info@psibands.com.

WINTER ROADTRIP TIPS

from TravelingMom.com

Family road trips in winter require extra cautions. Follow these tips to ensure yours is a fun family travel adventure.

1. Learn what a winter weather advisory means–and heed the warning. Blizzard warnings are the worst, with snow and strong winds: you can get blinding snow, deep drifts, and a life-threatening wind chill. Winter storm warnings indicate a storm bringing four or more inches of snow/sleet in 12 hours; six or more inches in 24 hours. Winter storm watches are issued 12-36 hours in advance of major storms. Winter weather advisories are for conditions that may be hazardous, but should not become life threatening when using caution.

2. Let someone know your timetable and travel route. This is especially important if you are traveling in areas with little traffic.

3. Be prepared. Pack a shovel, broom, ice scraper, jumper cables, blankets, flashlight, warning devices (flares), sand or kitty litter, high-calorie non-perishable food, and a spare, charged battery for your cell phone.

4. Keep your gas tank and wiper fluid reservoir full.

5. If you get stuck in the snow, stay in your car. It’s your best shelter.

CANCER/WELLNESS CORNER

Introducing “Marilyn the Thriver”

My name is Marilyn Byrne, and I can say with great pride and profound gratitude that I am a cancer survivor! No, scratch that. I am a cancer THRIVER! For the last 14 months I have put my body through hell in a fierce battle against stage II breast cancer. I have endured the rigors of treatment, accepted my own mortality and have come out on the other side, stronger and healthier than before.

I was diagnosed after finding a lump in my left breast. Talk about shock. I had just turned 40 and my kids were only seven and four. I knew in an instant the course of my life was changing and I was terrified. All the tests showed that my cancer had to be dealt with aggressively – that meant surgery, chemo and radiation. After numerous discussions with my doctors and long, arduous debates in my own head, I elected to undergo a bilateral mastectomy.

Surgery was a success. They did find cancerous lymph nodes, so Chemo was coming for sure. The treatments began six weeks after my surgery and lasted a grueling six months. My oncologist had me on five different anti-nausea medications – which helped keep my dinners down, but certainly didn’t stop the queasiness that would last a week after treatment. A friend of mine sent me some Psi Bands with the hope that I would find some relief. At this point I was ready for something that could help me get through the next infusion. I was starting to feel overwhelmed by the misery of chemotherapy. I was even beginning to have what’s called anticipatory nausea, which is a real, physiological response to the chemo drugs. Any time I would even think about driving to the Oncology Center, I would begin to feel sick.

So, I put the Psi Bands on — one on each wrist. Red and pink ones. I was heading into my fourth week of chemo and dreading it. To my relief, they worked! I didn’t have the same level of discomfort that I had experienced in the weeks before and I didn’t feel as sick to my stomach. I knew there was something powerful about those bands…and I’m only sorry I wasn’t wearing them from the beginning.

I am now six months post chemo and I feel good. My hair is growing in and my energy is coming back. If you or a loved one are going through treatment now, hang tough. You too will get through it, and begin to feel like your old self again, only a better, stronger version of yourself.

Be sure to check this space next month where I will share more of my story, offer support, and provide some helpful resources as you continue on your healing journey.

PREGNANCY CORNER

Pre-Pregnancy Tips from

Are you trying to conceive? An ovulation test can help you identify the two days of your cycle when you’re most likely to get pregnant. Ever wonder how they work?

There are changes in your body right before an egg is released from the ovary (ovulation). Ovulation tests work by detecting one of these changes, specifically the increase of luteinizing hormone (LH) levels in urine. The LH surge, as it is commonly called, precedes ovulation by 24 to 36 hours. Detecting your LH surge with an ovulation test enables you to identify the most fertile time of your cycle – the two days beginning with your surge.

You can maximize your chances of becoming pregnant if you have intercourse within 24 to 36 hours after detecting your LH surge. Timing is one of the most important factors when you’re trying to get pregnant. For more information and support for those trying to conceive (and a $2 off coupon for any First Response product) visit the First Response website.

Pregnant Now?

If you are currently pregnant we highly recommend you familiarize yourself with The Bump (one of our fave sites for the inside scoop on pregnancy). From local pregnancy resources to baby name ideas to baby proofing checklists, they are a one-stop source. Here are their Top 10 “Most Common Pregnancy Symptoms.” Which of these did you experience? (We’re guessing you might be familiar with lucky #7!)

#1: Sore Boobs
#2: Darkening Areolas

#3: Spotting

#4: Frequent Urination

#5: Fatigue (we’re talking total exhaustion)

#6: Missed your period

#7: Morning Sickness (all too familiar with it)

#8: Heightened Sensitivity to Smell

#9: Food Cravings

#10: Bloating

ENTREPRENEUR CORNER

“Give, Give, Get”

When we started on this venture we were so excited about the prospect of improving people’s lives by introducing them to a simple product that makes them feel better. What we didn’t realize until we were knee deep in the business was that in the process of building Psi Bands, we were indoctrinated into an unofficial club of incredible entrepreneurs. I have learned so much from these relationships during this entrepreneurial journey, that now, in the words of Angela Jia Kim, founder of Savor the Success, it’s time to “give, give, get.”

I plan to share some of the tips and tricks I have learned along the way here in this newsletter each month. In addition, I invite you to read and subscribe to our new blog Both Sides of the Retail Table. Each week I, along with former Target buyer Vanessa Ting, reveal both sides of the story regarding what an entrepreneur of a product-based company needs to know to land a coveted spot on major retailers’ shelves. Many entrepreneurs just don’t know where to begin when approaching retailers and there are so many lessons to learn along the way. In the spirit of giving back, we simply desire to share the tips we have learned along our own paths.

Thank you for your continued support and interest in Psi Bands. If you ever don’t want to receive these e-mails, please simply unsubscribe. But, we’d rather you didn’t!

Sincerely,

PEOPLE “PICKS” PSI BANDS!

From the get go, one of our biggest goals has been to educate folks suffering with nausea that there are drug-free options such as Psi Bands. Well, what better vehicle to get to “the people” than People magazine itself?! That’s right, Psi Bands is featured as a ”Pint-Size Pick” in the August 29 issue of People magazine (out on newsstands 8/19). This special issue of People has an extra section all about celebrity “cutest kids” and is expected to be seen by some 45 milion readers. The piece touts the positive aspects of Psi Bands as a Drug-Free, Adjustable, Comfortable, Fashionable, Waterproof and Affordable option for the relief of nausea.

MOMPRENEUR OF THE MONTH:

Nicole Abbott of Chic & Cheap Nursery

This month’s mompreneur has a blog we have been admiring for months. If you are planning a baby nursery or making updates to a bigger kids room, you absolutely must subscribe to Nicole Abbott’s blog at Chic & Cheap Nursery. Nicole’s mission is to empower moms (expectant, new and veterans) to create unique and affordable spaces for their children that reflect their style, by inspiring them with beautiful finds and creative design ideas. While planning for the arrival of her daughter in 2008, Nicole (an interior designer by heart and architect by trade) became frustrated when she realized that her dream nursery would remain a dream because everything seemed to be soooo expensive. But a resourceful Nicole did not give up hope. And she set out to create a dream nursery on a small budget and discovered a wonderful world of DIYs, independent shops and incredibly creative ideas from real moms! In our opinion, her ideas are so clever, you can find ideas for every room in your house!

MOMPRENUER of the month: valerie lecouer and THE FANTASTIC ANTI-PLASTIC BEACH TOUR

As made clear by previous newsletters, we are all about supporting our fellow momprenuers. Valerie Lecouer,

founder of Zoë b Organic, is one of those women who has taken the insight she has gained as a mom and applied it to a company that is making a positive impact for us all. Valerie is the inventor of the first ever biodegradable beach toys . To promote her new line, Valerie is leading a caravan down the West Coast with her husband, their 3 young children (ages 8, 7, and 3), another mom and her 6-year-old, a French nanny, and a 5-pound Yorkie Poo named “Rambo”. Over 3 weeks, they are driving a C-Class RV from Seattle to San Diego.

Their Mission?

1. To educate people about the need for minimizing our environmental impact on our beaches.
2. To promote alternatives to the plastic that’s slowly eating away at our planet.
3. To explore the coast, have fun, and not wear shoes very often.

The Zoë b Organic beach toys are made with bioplastic derived from corn sugar and contain absolutely no BPA, phthalates, or

PVC. Their bioplastic fully biodegrades in 2 to 3 years when buried in soil, immersed in water, home composted, or composted in industrial facilities. Ordinary plastic takes up to 500 years to degrade, and even then it only breaks down into tiny particles that are toxic to wildlife and the environment. Zoë b toys are durable and designed to hold up to playing just like ordinary beach toys. All completely made in the good ole USA.

Want to win a set? See the give away offer just to the left!

recycling on the run

There are ways to be eco-aware even when you are camper

away from home. Sometimes when we travel we tend to throw caution to the wind (“I can eat that. I’m on vacation!” or “Who cares if the kids are still up! We can all sleep in!”) And that’s fine…perhaps even healthy every once in a while. But, just because we are on vacation doesn’t mean we should get lazy about recycling. Check out Celebrate Green where blogger Lynn Cowell offers several tips for easy ways to stay green while traveling.

By the way, we have added many new retailers in recent months, so be sure to check out where to BUY on our website to find a location convenient to you!

FROM THE BLOGOSPHERE:

A Non-Invasive Cure for Morning Sickness
(June 30, 2011)
Oh, terrible morning (or all-day) sickness! It feels so awful. Why won’t your doctor give you something to help? One word: thalidomide. Ever since, only the ladies with the all-day, nine-month morning sickness get any relief. If you have your garden variety first-trimester sickness, girl, you’re on your own.

Or maybe not. Believe it or not, those acupressure bands (often sold for sea sickness) really do work, on a significant number of people. The bands have nodules on them that bear down on points on your wrist. No worries about hurting the baby, and most users find that their nausea is significantly reduced (worked for me when I was pregnant!).

But traditional acupressure bands are pretty darned ugly: knit bands that look like sweat socks, or like some type of hospital bandage that will make people ask you why you’re wearing them. Psi Bands, in contrast, look like watch bands. No one will notice. No one will ask you about them. You needn’t tell them that the reason you are ill is that every single thing in the world has a smell, and it’s all bad.

She still finds time to write a blog featuring “How To Advice for Mom Inventors.”

The Mom-Entrepreneur Edition

Moms – Is There Anything We Can’t Do?

When we first conceived of the idea for Psi Bands, we thought we were just two moms having an “a-ha moment.” Once Psi Bands actually became a reality, there were many surprises and unexpected pleasures that came along with running a business as a “mom-entrepreneur.” Probably one of the best unanticipated outcomes is being a part of this club of amazing women who have channeled their experiences and ideas as moms into a fulfilling and profitable business — often promoting a product that directly improves the well-being of others. So, we devote this issue to our fellow mom-entrepreneurs.

Are you a WAHM? Strategies for Making it Work

Many mom-entrepreneurs are WAHMs too — Work At Home Moms! Working at home when you’ve got young kids can be ideal. You can work off hours when it suits you and your family best, you can’t beat the commute, and it’s cheaper than renting office space! But, working from home also poses some challenges. Here are seven strategies we use for balancing work and home:

Ask for help – Whether it is from a friend, spouse, or
colleague, when you need help, ask for it. Have your girlfriends take your
children for a few hours after school (just be sure to reciprocate later). Ask
your husband to pick up the groceries. You can even ask your children for help
(like asking them to be patient while we do a work-related errand).
Take time to yourself – It
seems there is never enough time in the day to get done what we want to
accomplish, but find a way to carve out some time for yourself. It is usually
during these times that great ideas can come your way.
Be flexible – Even if you are a structured,
type A personality there are times when you just need to go with the flow. Focus
on teaching yourself to not get thrown when last minute changes occur and learn
to switch gears as pleasantly as possible.
Problem Solve - When
something throws you for a loop, find a solution. That can mean asking for
help.
Find humor in a situation, especially those that
may be challenging – It
takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile. Find a reason to smile.
Get on the same page as your spouse – Does
he support you in your business role? If he is not behind you 100%, why not?
What can the two of you do to get on the same page (i.e. set goals together,
discuss each others’ needs)? Are there compromises that can be made on both
sides? There’s a reason you married him, so listen because he may just have a
point.
Set boundaries for yourself – What
are you willing to do and not do? Stay firm to your values and communicate them
so there is mutual understanding and support.

Network Yourself to Success

If you are looking to join a female business network, there are two organizations you should know about. We have personally seen value from our involvement in these two groups:

For a Business Network for Women Entrepreneurs,
we highly recommend checking out
Savor the Success.
Networks such as this provide you with important connections, public relations opportunities, access to workshops and events and, probably most importantly, some really good solid advice from others who have been there. If you hurry, you may still have time to register for the Women Entrepreneurs Rock the World: “How I Made My First Million” in New York City on May 5 and 6.

Also, Count Me In, which runs the Make Mine a Million $ Business (M3) competition, is now accepting applications to become the next M3 Awardee. The mission of Count Me In is to promote economic independence and the growth of women owned businesses. Count Me In
for Women’s Economic Independence is the
leading national not-for-
profit provider of resources, business education and community support for women entrepreneurs seeking to grow micro businesses to million dollar enterprises. The M3 competition is designed to help women entrepreneurs strengthen their vision, build strategy, and take your business to a million dollars in revenue in the next 12-18 months. To be eligible, your business must generate at least $180,000 in annual revenues and be at least 50% woman owned. There are no fees to enter the competition. Psi Bands had the honor of being one of the winners of the M3 competition two years ago and the benefits are still paying off. You can find the M3 Competition application here.

Yak About It

Have you heard about this website? Every week Yak About It features a new product created by independent inventors and entrepreneurs. Two products go up against each other each week to determine which is the “Most Yakable.” Well, you guessed it, this week Psi Bands will be competing against another product and we could use YOUR VOTE. Please log in now and cast your vote. You also can help an inventor’s product get noticed by making a
purchase and/or sharing your thoughts in Yak Nation. Or, if you
have your own product to submit, check out the website for instructions.

“My beautiful Psi Bands worked perfectly on our Atlantic crossing this March. Even when the ocean reached 20 foot swells, I slept securely and soundly while wearing Psi Bands. One night my dinner didn’t quite agree with my stomach. I strapped on my Psi Bands and again slept like a log.” – Lynn

“My husband and son surprised me with a whale watching trip for Mother’s Day. Thank goodness for Psi Bands. I put those cute bands on and headed out to the Bay for five hours and suffered no ill effects! I got to enjoy (the trip) while other not-so-fortunate passengers lay in the fetal position on the deck below. Psi Bands were easy to use, comfortable, and did their job! I would give them a ten. The bands are cute – even trendy.” – Dawn Bryant
