THE BUZZ Criminals in Skin Care?


in March of 2017 investigating how many skin cream sites violated the "negative op- tion" law by hiding the terms and conditions from unsuspecting customers.” Since then, they've heard from hundreds of customers in 30 states and Canada. All of them say they signed up for a free trial and then received


A


deceptive billing on their credit card accounts. Offi cials with the West Florida BBB alone say they have linked this clever business practice to more than 500 beauty creams. They have received over 4,000 complaints on the various product lines.


Frankly, it’s a crime to know hundreds of skin cream compa-


nies prey on your hope to look better and younger. You really don’t know what you’re getting. Why fall for these tricks especially when most, if not all, of these creams are chemically infested?

land. We are a small Connecticut company with customers all over New England. We have many customers from Maine who have put their trust in ELM®

Emotional Self-Care Retreat at Enders Island on October 5th


W


hat you think is where you live, and you de- serve to live in a space


of peace, strength, and freedom. We often talk to ourselves in a way that we wouldn’t speak to others. Our words cause stress


and anxiety – emotions that aren’t always healthy for us. Our words often come from a place of fear and false beliefs, not au- thenticity. At BYODestiny, we help you fi nd your authenticity and your best place to be in this world. Emotions drive our thoughts and behavior, but by using emotional intelligence competencies, you have the power and choice to manage what you think, and therefore, where you “live”.


Join us for our Emotional Self-Care Retreat at Enders Island, CT on October 5th from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm, as we lead you in under- standing how to use your emotions as information. You will begin to develop strategies for building positive self-talk and self-acceptance. Learn to care for yourself the way you deserve to be cared for, while enjoying the quiet beauty and tranquility of Enders Island (off Mystic). Recognizing the origin of your thoughts brings about awareness and with awareness comes the power to change. Retreatants will learn what emotions are, how they affect our thoughts, and how to stop the negativity and emotional hijack we all face.


The Retreat includes lunch and free parking is located right on the island, just off scenic Mystic, CT. Tickets are $115, two or more are $95 each, and may be purchased here: http://bit.ly/ESCR_1910.
