I'm going to perform. It's pretty much a secret as to what I'll be doing, but if you check back here often, I'll give you clues. Leave a comment with your guesses. If you get it right, I'll give you a really tasty holiday prize!

First clue: It's tradition with a twist.

Any takers?

Waist Watchers

For Every Body is always working hard to innovate itself and come up with new ideas to keep employees happy and become a better place to work.

For years, we've participated in the Waist Watchers at Work program. The company has paid half of the employee's costs to enroll in the 12-week program. Lots of our employees have been really successful in losing weight and starting and maintaining a more healthy lifestyle.

When our latest session wrapped up last summer, many people wanted to keep going with the Weight Watchers program on their own. So, they came up with "Waist Watchers."

Basically, there are about 25 members of the group who cook once every five weeks. They try to stick to low fat, high fiber, healthy meals. They save money on lunches since it costs on average about $1.50 a day to eat, they save on gas because they’re not driving out for food, and they eat better than when they are eating fast food. Some people didn't eat out before, but they prefer it because they don't have to pack a lunch, and they get something different everyday.

We think this is a pretty revolutionary idea! Think about all the waste that is eliminated when 25 people eat in for lunch on reusable dishes, rather than driving out and grabbing a bag of fast food. Think how much more healthy a pita sandwich is than a cheeseburger and fries. Plus, everyone is having a lot of fun trying out new recipes and it has really brought the employees together.

So, if you're in need of a way to save in this down economy, maybe you can be like us and look to your corporate lunch program. It's a great place to start...

For Every Home Featured in New National Publication

A Utah Valley start-up is the focus of the premiere issue of Celebrating Women, a new specialized national publication designed to motivate and inspire individuals interested in supplementing their income and improving their lives.

For Every Home, whose products include premium soy candles and home décor products, has been in operation since March 2008. The company’s explosive growth and dynamic leadership attracted the editorial board at Celebrating Women. The two companies teamed up for the first issue which appeared on shelves nationwide Nov. 1.

“It is an honor to be featured in the premiere issue of Celebrating Women,” said For Every Home founder Becky Anderson, who appears on the magazine cover. “For Every Home creates opportunities for individuals interested in the freedom, flexibility and financial independence of a home based business and we are thrilled to highlight the success our consultants are having so far.”

Like the premiere edition, each issue of Celebrating Women features a party plan or direct sales company. Included is in-depth coverage of the company, profiles of top leaders and details about how the company creates opportunities for women to achieve success. From engaging articles, readers can learn how to create success personally, professionally and financially.

Celebrating Women is produced by Bennett Communications, a Utah based publishing company who has written about the growth of For Every Home’s parent company, For Every Body, for many years. “We have observed this industry with amazement as the businesses grow so fast,” said Celebrating Women editor Jeanette Bennett. “We have always had great admiration for Becky [Anderson] and for the company and its products.”

Bennett Communications has plans to feature four more direct sales companies in 2009 through the quarterly release of Celebrating Women. The magazine will be available for purchase at B&N, Borders, Doubleday, Hastings, Joseph Beth, B Dalton, and Empire around the country.

“We envision the magazine inspiring women around the country as they pick up the magazine from a bookstore or receive the magazine from a consultant,” said Bennett. “The magazine showcases the success stories that have already happened within For Every Home and gives can't-fail tips on how to add this opportunity to an already busy life. We are very proud of this magazine and look forward to telling stories of more direct sales companies in 2009.”
