So…I have tested it all for exactly 1 year and here’s what I know. DISCLAIMER: If you do not want to be healthier, lose weight, sleep better, have less aches and pains, have better digestion, boost your immune system, or bring more oxygen into your blood do not continue reading. I’m serious, stop right now, if you do not want to live and be well! ; )

OK, now that we got rid of those who like catching whatever illness is flying around and steadily gaining that weight while feeling like they need to crap. . . Oh! Excuse me! Feeling like crap all of the time, let’s continue on.

Once upon a time, a year ago, I was told that I needed to try some products from a company that I had never heard about. It’s called Seacret and, let me tell you, they had been living up to their name. For instance, it was a secret as to what they had to offer Mark and I. . . at first. Since the people of our company were going to be promoting their products, we dove into the videos and training provided on what they had going on. To give you a quick synopsis, the company started out selling all natural skincare (free from parabens), but they had one INCREDIBLE advantage, the 12 minerals from the Dead Sea that can only be found in that lowest of places (literally, it is the lowest place on earth and these 12 minerals are super awesome for your skin, the largest organ on your body). However, still prior to us finding out about this company, they had acquired another product line already proven and successful in the vegan/plant based nutrition space. These products all came with their very own doctor who not only approves of them, but actually creates them. In fact, he is still coming out with more solutions that are designed to solve real problems for his very real patients. This product line is called LifeBySeacret and it not only is Plant Based, but it is also Informed Sports Certified (Athletes at all levels including the Olympics can take this stuff), Non-GMO, Kosher, 100% Organic, Gluten Free, Nut Free, Nightshade Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free and even Sugar Free. I know. Try to beat THAT up! I’ll just say this, the skincare is freaking awesome and, for the price, actually absorbs into your skin to do what it says it does with some pretty amazing results. We love it, but we are not talking about that today. Today, you are going to find out what the nutrition line of Seacret has done for me over the past year. Prior to hearing about this company I had a long and established history of not sleeping well. Sometimes it would take me hours to fall asleep and always it would take me at least a good 30min to do so. After falling asleep, I would routinely wake up about 5 -10 times throughout the night (I know this because I would fully remember every time I turned over while “sleeping”). FYI, if you talk to any healthcare professional, they will tell you that it is really NOT good to NOT get a full nights sleep EVER. Also, I had so many aches and pains because my upper ribs (5-6 of them usually) were routinely out, according to every chiropractor I had seen over the past 10 years of my life. I blame this for some of the not sleeping and the constant neck ache I had. My digestion was really not optimal, I was tired all of the time (go figure) and, in general, just didn’t feel good.

So, here’s the skinny. I no longer have ANY trouble sleeping because I have been taking a product called Booster (which is an alkaline booster) that totally chills me out naturally and literally allows my body to fall asleep pretty much as soon as my head hits the pillow. Also, added bonus, Booster is the reason I no longer worry about hang-overs. . . Like, AT ALL! I’m, by no means, any kind of a heavy drinker, but I used to get the hang-over before I even made it to bed and just from one drink. Now I can hang with the rest of them and not worry about the headache and sour stomach anymore.

The aches and pains have all but disappeared due to a groundbreaking supplement called Recovery that literally uses molecular hydrogen to heal your body of any trauma it has experienced! I know, right!? As it turns out, eastern medicine has been using molecular hydrogen to heal people for quite a while now and this little tablet gets into your system within seconds to give you immediate results. I use it before or after a workout to make sure I don’t get sore when I rip up all my muscles. ; ) Lol, I’m not really that intense, but I do go harder than I should, often, and used to feel it for the rest of the week. You know, walking like I rode a horse for 50 miles and, in general, walking around like a drunk person. Plus. . . Pain. SO . . . MUCH . . . PAIN! Now. . . no pain. 😁

My digestion has been overhauled by the DigestX supplement, the brand spanking new ProbiotX (which has a pre-biotic and a probiotic to actually break down what you eat and let your body absorb it), and the Greens. By the way, leafy greens are what bring oxygen into your blood and help you have more energy as well as immuno-response. You definitely want that! The Greens supplement is available in both Greens Caps (for getting the goodness in quickly) and Greens Powder (which literally tastes so great that my 4 year-old daughter actually wants me to add it to water, milk, or a protein shake for her).

Speaking of Protein Shakes, I love taking the Vanilla and Chocolate shake, through BodyBySeacret, along with the Greens Powder, mixed in, for breakfast! I feel fuller longer and light. Like totally not weighed down by what I just ate! Plus, it tastes soooo much better than any other vegan protein shakes I have tried. . . and trust me, Mark and I have tried many and returned a lot of them for their terrible chalky flavor. This one tastes so good my daughter asks for it often and I feel zero qualms about giving it to her. I know she’ll get more than what she needs nutrition-wise and that makes me so happy. This, combined with the Curb supplement has helped me lose some serious inches and weight. The all-natural Curb actually curbs my craving for sugar and carbs. I know what you’re thinking, “Sarah, that’s bogus!” I’m dead serious though. It totally freaked me out how much I was turning down these two items and I was dropping the lbs (literally inches) as a result!

Last, but definitely not least, is the ImmunX supplement that has everything in it to feed your immune system and ward off illness. You can find Mark and I popping these before a flight or after being around a lot of people. I can personally attest to the fact that Mark and I have been super healthy over the past year, even with everyone around us dropping like flies (relax, just getting sick) from colds and that virus (and it’s variants) everyone has been worried about. I believe we are living our best life in large part because we are giving our bodies what they really need.

So, if you’re ready to treat your body better, feel better and even look better, take your pick. This was what each of these has done for me, and in reality, I saw these results within the first 60 days of taking them. Now. . . I honestly don’t think someone could pay me to stop taking them. They are staples in my diet because they produce results in my daily life by making my life better! Check some of them out or all of them. Maybe you’ll get back to feeling great and start living your best life as well. Here’s a fist bump 👊 for taking control back on your health!

Episode 6

The next year, Mark and I had earned our first incentive trip and we were excited because it was in Fiji! The company was not only paying for the trip but also our flights to Fiji and back, so Mark and I asked if it mattered what dates and route we took. They told us, as long as we stayed within a certain generous budget, we were fine, so we looked on a map, and saw that Kauai, Hawaii was on the way to Fiji. We had been told by several people that Kauai was awesome and had it on our bucket list of places we wanted to experience, so we talked a couple of other couples into going to Kauai with us and we booked the trip. Ok, so one of the other couples just so happened to be our friend, who had originally made the first WiebengaLife shirts that weren’t ours, and his now wife; the girlfriend who we had inducted in Vail. The other couple joining us in Kauai was some people we really didn’t know that well at the time, but they had also earned their way onto the Fiji incentive trip and we thought it would be nice to get to know them. We had booked a house worth more than $1,000,000 to stay in while on Kauai, with travel dollars given to us by the company we represent, and the house had a fourth room.

So Mark talked our good friend, who had just gotten out of the Marines and had been stationed in Hawaii for a while, into going with us. He had been inducted into the WiebengaLife in Cancun. He would be our tour guide because he knew Kauai well and we set out on another adventure.

We remember arriving at the house on Kauai, and knowing we would be there with other WiebengaLifers, we were kinda all wearing WiebengaLife gear. By now we had hats that went with our shirts. So when the other couple, who was not in the WiebengaLife, showed up, they were like, “What is this WiebengaLife & why would we even want to be in it?” Our other friends said, “Oh, you’ll see. You’ll want to be in it by the end of this trip.” Mark and I weren’t so sure about that, but we told them that it was silly and that they didn’t have to feel pressured. We had a blast on that trip doing everything from doing a helicopter tour around the island, riding along the Na Pali Coast by boat, & hiking the Na Pali coast, to bathing in Queens Bath. Every night we would pick a different beach to post up on, play games, and have a couple drinks while watching the sun set. It was a perfect vacation shared with fun and chill people. We still look back at that trip as one of the best.

So, as the last days of that leg of the trip wound down, our friends, who aren’t in the WiebengaLife, sheepishly declare that they didn’t know what they didn’t know, before, and they wanted to go in front of the panel to be inducted into the WiebengaLife. We told them what it entailed, and the husband pulled us aside and said that they both wanted in, but if we could only accept one of them, he asked us if it could be his wife, because she REALLY wanted in now.  Mark and I said, “We’ll see what we can do, but she better have a really good answer for, “The Question”. When no one was looking, we laughed so hard over our new friend who was so sincere about protecting his wife’s feelings. Needless to say, we had a little fun with them, but they both got inducted into the WiebengaLife!

The inductions have continued to this day and we are still figuring out what WiebengaLife means to others. Needless to say, we are having a lot of fun with the process!

So, now you can see how something so innocent became something beyond even our control. WiebengaLife is out there and grew as organically as it could, seeing as how Mark and I really didn’t seek to expand it, but it has grown nonetheless. We jokingly say that we made some mistakes that led to it coming about, but we have had a ton of fun as we embraced the silliness of it all. No doubt, this website and blog will be looked at as another of those mistakes that led to the continued growth of WiebengaLife! In reality, we are nothing less than flattered by those who have championed our story and sought to be a part of it. This brings us to today and the fact that we constantly have people asking to hear this somewhat long and involved story about how WiebengaLife came about. They want to know how it even started to be a thing and, while we love telling the story in person, we wanted to get it down so that others could share in the spirit of the WiebengaLife story. We hope you enjoyed reading about this journey so far. 

Oh and our Fiji Trip was amazing as well, we will save that story for another day but here are some fun photos from that part of the trip.

Episode 5

So, Mark has a brother, also with the last name of Wiebenga (obviously). He had started assuming he was already in the WiebengaLife, simply because he shared the same last name. We thought about this and realized that the answers we were getting for what WiebengaLife means to people, had nothing really to do with the last name (other than the fact that I think people just like how it sounds when they say it), but had everything to do with the way Mark and I have designed our life. Therefore, we decided that he would have to go in front of the panel and we informed him that he would have to do it on the upcoming trip to Cancun we were going on with about 500 of our friends that year.

Being that it had been a whole year since the last Cancun trip where we first unveiled Mark and my original WiebengaLife shirts, and we had made several spectacles of people being inducted into the WiebengaLife and earning the gear, we had a multitude of people wanting to be inducted. I would tell each of them this: “You have to catch us on a trip, go in front of a super secret panel, and you will be asked the question.” They always say, “What question is that?” & I say, “We are allowed to ask you more questions, but you will, for sure, be asked this question, ‘What does WiebengaLife mean to you?’” Then I say, “You may start preparing now.” ; ) They always get this super serious look on their face (mostly because I try to look very serious while delivering these instructions) and assure me that they will have something great prepared. Then they ask, “When can I go in front of the panel?” and I reply that it has to happen on a trip and they have to get 3 other WiebengaLifers to join us before it can happen.

So, fast forward to our Cancun trip and there are a ton of people wanting to go in front of “The Panel” and we are thinking, we don’t have time to induct all of these people. So we find a night that everyone is hanging out at the same main bar at our resort and start to hand select the people who have bugged us the most about the induction process, including Mark’s brother. We had a lot of fun and ended up inducting another 5 people into the WiebengaLife after making sure they were able to prove that they were worthy of being a part of it. It was a blast and Mark’s brother even made it in. . . OFFICIALLY!

Sorry it has been so long since our last blog involving our crazy WiebengaLife story. ; ) We have been moving and if you have ever moved, you know what I mean when I say that we have been doing A LOT.  A lot of re-organizing, assembling new purchases and re-assembling old ones, painting, and CLEANING. Needless to say we are ready to settle in for the winter and head off on a new trip somewhere warm. . . which IS booked, by the way! LOL!  However, before we get to that, we MUST finish this WiebengaLife Explanation Business! Therefore, here is the next episode in what I have come to think of as The WiebengaLife Saga.

Episode 4

So, now people really think there is actual WiebengaLife gear and some sort of WiebengaLife club, including our friend who had us make shirts for him and his buddies that we went on the trip with. Fast forward a couple months to the night of the Super Bowl that year and we are back to hanging out with that same friend and his girlfriend. Our friend decided that his girlfriend needed to be inducted into the WiebengaLife so she could wear a WiebengaLife shirt on their next trip.

Oh yes, he had decided that there needed to be an official induction process to get a shirt and get into the WiebengaLife! We played along and even helped set parameters and they go a little something like this:

People wanting to get into the WiebengaLife must go in front of the panel while on a trip with Mark and Sarah Wiebenga and at least 1 (at that time, now 3) member(s) of the WiebengaLife. No one, except the panel members, know exactly what happens during any particular induction, except that all potential inductees will be asked this one question, “What does WiebengaLife mean to you?” I came up with that question, because, well. . . I honestly want to know. ; )

So, our friend needed us to go on a trip with him and his girlfriend so that we could have a panel for her to go in front of and answer the all important question of, “What does WiebengaLife mean to you?” The problem was that Mark and I were heading to New Zealand and Australia for the better part of a month in about a week and they were headed on their trip while we would still be on the other side of the world. Back to our Super Bowl with our friend, after a few adult beverages, we ended up booking a 3 room condo up near Vail for the following weekend, not knowing that we would be up there during the 2015 World Ski Championships!

We recruited another couple and stopped on the way up to get WiebengaLife gear made, and found out all of the festivities that were going on that weekend when we checked into our condo.

We enjoyed watching the ski competitions and excitement that comes along with such a big event where people like Lindsey Vonn compete and musicians like O.A.R. perform. Also, we held a panel to induct the other couple and our friend’s girlfriend into the WiebengaLife. We had a lot of fun with it and we got some pretty interesting explanations for what WiebengaLife means to them. It was pretty close, but they all three made it into the WiebengaLife and they were all authorized to wear their WiebengaLife gear.

Mark and I were starting to realize our namesake had taken on a life of its own and we could have a little fun with this whole thing. We got home just in time to wash clothes, pack and head on our 14 1/2 hour flight to Sydney, Australia and then on to Queenstown, New Zealand.

Episode 3

So we’re strutting our goofball-ness around the pools at the Hard Rock Cancun in our neon #WiebengaLife tank tops chuckling to ourselves and making sure nobody misses the ridiculousness of what we are doing, but we hear something very different from what we were expecting. All of these people had been watching us go on adventure after adventure all while winning with our business and they were under the impression that #WiebengaLife was an actual thing. So while we are doing our strut around the pool, all we hear are a bunch of people asking how they can get a shirt and be “In The WiebengaLife”. Over and over it was, “Ah man! Now you have shirts!? How do I get one? Can I be a Wiebenga?” As Mark and I got to the end of our walk, we looked at each other a bit disappointed that no-one had thought it was as funny as we had thought it to be, and a little worried that we were going to have to go into the shirt making business. We laid off on the hash-tagging for a bit and made no promises to anyone regarding shirts and thought we had gotten away with not feeding the fire. I’m not sure what mistake we are on now, but that was another mistake; thinking we had not fanned a flame.

We have a good friend who lives on the complete other side of town from us. He showed up at our house one fine December day with tank tops for himself and two other good friends of ours, insisting that we help him put #WiebengaLife on THOSE shirts so they could wear them on their trip the following week. We told him we thought he was off his rocker wanting OUR name on his shirts, but we complied because we knew he had traveled far and we like spending time with him. Mark and I had a good laugh after he left, about how anyone else would actually want to wear our name on their shirt, but we thought that was the end of that. As it turns out, from that point in time to the next week, those same guys ended up convincing us to join them on their trip! We, apparently, are easily convinced to go on epic trips with great friends. ; ) The only stipulation to us coming with them, was that we bring OUR #WiebengaLife shirts too.

Mark and I threw caution to the wind, threw our shirts in our bags, and headed back to Mexico. We were ridiculous with our wearing of our shirts together and even went so far as taking several pictures together all over the resort, family style, as true goofballs would.

We joked about how epic we looked in our awesome #WiebengaLife gear and posted all of our pics on social media. Another mistake, as it turns out.
