A Fresh Face in the World: Mary Kay Ash is Born
| |
| “Most people live and die with their music still unplayed,” Mary Kay Ash once said. “They never dare to try.” Ash was not one of those people. Raised in a time when few women were in business, let alone successful in business, Ash broke down barriers on her rise up to creating a multi-billion dollar operation. Today, Mary Kay Cosmetics Inc. continues to be a leader in the industry, with outlets in over 30 countries that are staffed by 1.6 million employees. |

Well, every time you eat white breads, pasta and rice, they turn into craft glue in your stomach, becoming foul, sticking to the walls of your bowel and sucking the life out of you. I call it ‘bum glue’ and it’s just as charming as it sounds. |

No Bum Glue
| |
| ‘Bum Glue’ is the term I use to describe refined and processed grains. Do you remember at school, we used to make glue out of white flour and water? Remember how it smelled after a few hours and how it set like cement when you used it? Well, that same cement-like action is happening inside your body every time you eat white breads, pasta and rice.
