Instant Gratification

Updated: Aug 21

As with any business, the name of the game is Instant Gratification. I remember when Amazon criticized USPS, UPS and FedEx for not being able to deliver their packages by Christmas when someone ordered their products on Christmas Eve. After having contracts with all 3 and "firing" all 3, Amazon decided to start their own delivery service to show them them how it was done.


Guess what? A decade (or so) after Amazon decided to start it's own delivery service to show every other 100 year old delivery service how it was done, I decided to order a last minute item someone wanted from Amazon for Christmas. It was December 21, four days before Christmas. Having a family of delivery drivers, I knew it would never arrive on time. But they had said it could be done. The anticipated delivery date was December 29, by Amazon delivery. Longer than any other delivery service. The moral of the story. We would all love instant gratification for what we want.


What does this have to do with Tallow lotion?


We, as a society, want our wrinkles gone in 24 hours, our scars healed yesterday and our skin issues fixed before we get up. Me, I was happy to just have my skin issues actually fixed. I tried every single immediate fix cleanser and treatment offered because I had so many issues for 40+ years. One treatment I tried was tested for years and recommended to me from the dermatologist as the best thing ever. The first time I tried the 2 month treatment, it didn't work so they recommended a second treatment. It failed also. 10 years later it was recalled and now I suffer from the "side effects" it was recalled for.


My point is that Tallow is not what we consider an instant fix, even though it soothes immediately. It is a natural fix that works WITH your body to heal itself over time. Not AGAINST your body's response to a toxic issue.


The dripping oily skin I suffered from since puberty was not fixed overnight. It was fixed with a 100% natural remedy I used consistently for almost 30 days. I suddenly realized that I had normal skin after 40 years of dealing with scarring, horrendous dripping oily feeling skin 24 hours a day. 40 Years of failed medical fixes and toxic solutions that sometimes helped for a day or so. With tallow it was 1 month of consistent use, and continued use 6 months later most of my scarring is gone, as are my crows feet. Do I still get a few breakouts periodically? Yes! But they heal within a few days compared to months like they used to. My skin never feels dry and irritated like it did with all the chemical treatments and cleansers I tried and still had breakouts. But it NEVER feels like the oily mess with the irritated dry flakes and redness I had suffered for those 40+ years. I also know that I won't have to worry about those side effects that most, if not ALL, chemicals do to your skin down the road.


My family has dealt with cracked fingers from the boxes and paper mail they handle all day everyday in cold/wet weather. They no longer suffer from those as long as they are consistently using tallow. I liken it to giving your body the 100% natural vitamins (tools) it needs to heal itself instead of introducing another foreign chemical it may end up "fighting" in the end.


Bottom line, instant gratification often comes with life time side effects. Natural comes with slower long term results without the side effects. It does this by helping your body fight the issue instead of adding more toxins that are most likely contributing to the issue.
