As many in the United States, the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina has really caught us off guard. We immediately felt that we wanted to do something to help, so Beth started researching how we could help. She did her footwork and contacted several agencies in Houston, Texas (where a large amount of the victims have been shipped to) and here is what they told her.
For Monetary Donations contact: The American Red Cross – Houston Chapter (713) 526-8300
For donations of clothing, blankets and such ship them directly to the Astrodome: Astrodome 8400 Kirby Drive Houston, Texas 77054
For donations of food, personal care, laundry care and vitamins ship them to: Houston Food Bank 3811 Eastex Freeway Houston, Texas 77026
VERY IMPORTANT: Make a note on all items shipped that they are being donated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina!
In addition to doing the footwork we have set up a contest for my Watkins dowline that if they will help the Hurricane Katrina Victims we will reward them with prizes (we do a monthly contest for our dowline to help keep them motivated).
We personally are sending over Watkins products to the food bank in Houston. And we will be donating my profits from Internet Sales for the entire month of September! Yep so if you place an order on our Watkins retail site (http://www.watkinsonline.com/bethvigil) the profits of that sale (19% of the subtotal) will be sent off to the American Red Cross and earmarked for the Hurricane Katrina Victims.
May God Bless you all and keep you and your families safe.

I about DIED! The timing couldn't have been worse, and I had visions of traveling through 3 airports and a hotel and even going on stage to receive my award, with a green faced cherub. UGGGGHHHH! I wasn't sure what to wash her face with, so I grabbed my Watkins Shredscope Dish Soap and some warm water and started washing. And it came RIGHT OFF! No trace of green ink anywhere. My infatuation with Watkins started a long time ago, but this just made it go deeper. I LOVE WATKINS!!! http://www.watkinsonline.com/bethvigil http://www.highdesertdelights.biz
6月6日 Mexican Vanillla Extract... Toxic?One of my customers mentioned that she had been using Mexican Vanilla Extract. And I remembered hearing that Mexican Vanilla Extract was not good to use and possibly toxic, but I couldn’t remember what the whole story was. Well I decided to do a search online for it. Here is what I found on ‘The Straight Dope’:
Of course I am biased for Watkins Double Strength Vanilla, but it is FABULOUS! Here is what Watkins says about their Original Double Strength Vanilla:
And the entire month of June 2005, Watkins Original Double Strength Vanilla is on sale for $9.99 (normal retail price $11.99). That is the lowest price of the year. Now is a great time to stock up for the holiday baking season, never too early to plan ahead. And at this price, you can’t pass it up! You can purchase Watkins Original Double Strength Vanilla online at http://www.watkinsonline.com/bethvigil, as well as any of the other 300+ products that Watkins offers.

5月30日 How did we ever live without Meat Magic?We received a bottle of Watkins Meat Magic in our PEP Pack (Promotional Earnings Program Pack) in March. I probably would have never even thought about it or even remembered to order it if it hadn't come in our PEP Pack. There are so many fabulous products offered by Watkins, that I still haven't gotten to try them all. I have drifted off subject ... this is about Meat Magic. Anyway, we got the bottle of Meat Magic in our PEP Pack and I decided to give it a try. So that night I put some on our Pot Roast before cooking it. Prior to that night, my husband had always said that my potroast was PERFECT, best he ever had. I was really curious if he would be able to tell that I did something different this time. Well he certainly did, and he said "THIS IS REALLY GOOD! What did you do different?" I told him I had added basted the roast in WATKINS Meat Magic before putting the WATKINS Onion Soup Base on top of it (as I have always done). He said "NOW your potroat is definitely the BEST!" Since then I have marinated our pork chops in it before baking, added it to hamburger meat for burgers, added it to our meatloaf, put it on our steaks....even put it in the water we boiled our ribs in. This is one of the most fabulous products I have ever tried.
I always make sure we have an extra bottle in our cupboard, so we never run out! Beth Vigil http://www.watkinsonline.com/bethvigil http://www.highdesertdelights.biz
Watkins Baby Back RibsWe tried this recipe this weekend, and there wasn't a single rib left. Our two year old was very possesive of her ribs too, she wouldn't let daddy have them. They were that good! INGREDIENTS: 2 Racks of Baby Back Ribs Prepare Watkins Honey Barbeque Sauce as directed on label. Baste ribs with the Watkins Honey Barbeque sauce and grill. (continue to baste as you grill) These ribs will literally fall off the bone, and you will be wishing you had made more. Tony Roma's has nothing on us! Beth Vigil http://www.watkinsonline.com/bethvigil http://www.highdesertdelights.biz
Watkins BurgersWe love bbq'ing in our family. And burgers are always the easiest and cheapest, but not always the tastiest.....that was until we created WATKINS Burgers. Now even our 2 year old cleans her plate.
1 lb ground beef Mix all ingredients together and form into patties. Cook on the stove or grill til done.
Beth Vigil http://www.watkinsonline.com/bethvigil 5月28日 Military Appreciation Month!In the month of June, the Vigil's Watkins Team will be adopting military personnel deployed overseas fighting for our Country and well as those here at home. The idea was inspired by a new customer who called us and told us that his nephew who was deployed over in Iraq had requested that he send him 2 cans of Watkins Black Pepper. It got us thinking about what else they might want/need from Watkins.
Did you know that Watkins can ship to an APO address? YEP, directly from their warehouse. Do you have a loved one overseas, serving in our military? Could they use some the products offered by Watkins? (ie. Sunblock, Aloe Vera Sunburn Gel, Lip Balms, Energy Bars, Sauces, Spices...etc.)
Our team will be sending over care packages to our deployed military the entire month of June. As well as offering discounts to military families in their local areas.
Why are we doing this?
v To say thank you, that we are free to run businesses like this out of our homes. v To thank our deployed military for being away from their families, to keep our families safe. v To lift their morale and make what they are doing a little easier, with some comforts from home.
We are so proud of all our military and pray for them daily. And this is just our way of saying THANK YOU!!
If you would like to learn more about this promotion, please feel free to email us at ilovewatkins@gmail.com
God Bless,
