Free StaphAseptic First Aid Sample

a first aid kit just in case of an emergencyGet a free sample of StaphAseptic first aid antiseptic from Tec Labs.  Why pay $5 for antibiotic ointments from your nearby store.  When you can get some for free.   

FACT:  Did you know that our trusty ol’ over the counter triple antibiotic ointments are ineffective against  killing some staph bacteria.  Have you heard of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus or MSRA - a strain of staph that is resistant to our normal routine of treating cuts and scrapes. 

To help stop the spread of staph, StaphAseptic is an effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones. StaphAseptic promises to treat your wounds with a greaseless, non-staining gel without stinging or irritating. With an active family I’ll be sure to have this on hand and in my purse 24/7.

The Gratitude Campaign

shaking hands is a way of showing gratitude

Gratitude Campaign.org  is a free website that will teach you something that you can give back in return.  This is not a product, freebie, just a big warm fuzzy that keeps giving!
 
This is geared towards our men and women who serve our country both past and present.  If you’ve seen one of our brave soldiers in uniform and have hesitated saying "Hello or Thank You" and you feel that deep down in your heart a smile just isn’t enough. The gratitude campaign gives you an unwritten, unspoken way to say, "Thanks". 
 
When a good friend of mine got back after 18 months in Iraq, I asked him how it was over there, he replied horrible!  Then he said something that I will never forget, you should ask me how it was to come back home.  That is what is important. 
 
The short 2 minute film will teach you a simple sign language gesture that is interpreted as, "Thanks from the bottom of my heart."  Way cool and way touching!  I am looking forward to walking passing along this gesture of thanks as soon as the situation arises!
