PTCI article about Pink Monkey Soap

This is a copy of the article written about Pink Monkey Soap in the PTCI newsletter, The Communicator. It is delivered to several hundred customers of the local phone company. If you want to read the article just click anywhere on it to make it larger. There are a few mistakes like the fact that I have never been kicked in the head by a goat. I have no idea where she got that and the adding glycerin thing. I think she wasn't paying complete attention when I was talking to her and then tried to write it from memory. The goat part is kind of embarrassing, but oh well. I just wanted to show you that it got published. I started getting phone calls and emails right away. I am hoping the free advertising will be a boost to my business.

Thieves Oil

Pink Monkey makes a Thieves Oil which is a natural replacement for hand sanitizer. I have ordered new bottles so will now be able to offer 3 sizes.
1/2 oz. $4.00
1 oz. $8.00
2 oz. $15.00
Hand sanitizer is very drying to your skin. Thieves Oil is made with essential oils and a carrier oil. Some of the oils I use are bacteria fighting and some are immune boosting. Thieves Oil is a great alternative to the alcohol based hand sanitizers.
Here is the legend of the Thieves Oil


Stories Behind the Thieves The thieves happen to have been merchants and spice traders, and that’s how they knew about the oils because they were importing cinnamon and clove from India and when the plague hit, the kings of the various countries sent out a mandate closing down inter-national commerce and shipping. So all of the ships were docked and they couldn’t sell couldn’t engage in their business and they were going broke.

The spice trade was a very lucrative trade and they made money at it, so they decided, “Well–all of these people are dying and they are afraid to touch them. We might as well go loot their bodies and take the things off and go into the homes where everybody is dead and take the things out of the homes, like pots and pans and jewelry and clothing and set up a pawn shop trade…” that’s when pawn shops evolved.

Of course, you have heard the story when the king issued the proclamation to have the thieves captured, but the constables were afraid to touch them because they knew they had been touching the dead bodies and going in the homes of the dead people, and they didn’t want the plague.

It became so severe that the king even executed a few of the constables that refused. Finally, it was a life or death issue, and as the story goes on there were four of them who were caught. The king gave them an opportunity to confess the secret of their immunity, either with the choice of burning at the stake or being hung by the neck,meaning if they didn’t give up their secret they would be burned at the stake, and worse if they gave up their secret they would be hung by the neck–and they chose hanging.

They gave up their secret and it was published and plastered all through the town.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium.

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 ph oto lytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (mo dern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

I love this soap!!!!

A friend of a friend of mine makes this soap that I really like. I had never used homemade soap before, I had been given it as a gift , but never used it, it was too pretty and unique and I actually kept it in an old Hull pottery dish in my bathroom. It looks really nice, and county too so it goes with the deocr. I saw the Pink Monkey logo on my friend's page and clicked on it. So in keeping with the new " more earth friendly and back to nature" me I thought I would give it a try. I ordered the special. I got it in the mail and gave it a try. I love it. No strong perfumey smell, no chemicals or dyes no shiney packaging to add to the landfill. All natural.
When I ordered the soap she added a sample of Thieves oil that she makes. I had never heard of this so I read up on it. It has a very long history and again it is all natural and has a million and one uses. I have used it for about 18 of them so far and  I am still experimenting. I plan on ordering more, a little goes a long way. I like these products so much, not to mention the aspect of supporting a small home business that I asked to be part of it.  Anyway, its too late to make a long story short but if you would like to try this I am now an affiliate of Pink Monkey Soap. So if you think you might like to try it, I will be set up to take orders very soon.   Any questions ? Just ask!
