  A lustrous shungite pendent Shungite stones make pretty jewelry, and some believe shungite has health benefits. You may not have ever heard of this mineraloid, but if you want to make a subtle fashion statement, try a shungite stone pendent.  S hungite is an interesting mineraloid.   It is found in small deposits in several countries, but the largest deposits are in Russia.    Mineraloids are  naturally occurring  mineral -like substances that do not demonstrate    crystallinity. Other examples of mineraloids include pearls, opals,   obsidian  and jet.  Much like coal and diamonds, shu ngite is a form of carbon. Like diamonds, shungite is a hard mineral, and like coal, it is black in color. Numerous health properties have been mentioned for shungite but there are very few scientific studies to back up these claims. Health benefits attributed to shungite include anti-bacterial properties, EMF protection, and other interesting ...

LEADOKO Women's Summer Gypsy Baggy Tunic Tops Shirt Long Sleeve Blouse Not As Described Summer is on its way, and I love working out in my garden, so I ordered the graceful gypsy tunic pictured above What I received was a disappointing small shirt that might have been made by gypsies, but it certainly is not a flowing gypsy tunic, nor does it have long sleeves.  According to the  LEADOKO listing on WalMart, a Medium tunic  is:  Tag size M : US Size:(6) -----Bust:(39.8") -----Sleeve:(23.5") -----Length:(28.3") I ordered a medium blouse, but what I received was a small or extra small blouse. I can't tell, because THERE IS NO SIZE TAG. There are also no washing instruction tag. The only tag in the shirt just tells you it is 100% polyester. The size is ridiculously small and the sleeves are 4 inches too short. This isn't a long-sleeve blouse -- it's a 3/4 sleeve at best. The quality is very poor. Not only does the top not fit, but there are strings hanging of...

Unemployment numbers have skyrocketed, and many Americans need either a boost for their business or another source of income. This is where influencer marketing or becoming an influencer can help. Influencer marketing is a less expensive form of marketing using people with large followings on blogs, YouTube,  TikTok, social media, etc. to promote relevant products.  It isn't hard to become an influencer if you know how.  I have written an article on how becoming a faith-based influencer can bring in an extra income.

CBBPET 4 FT Rope Leash for Small Dogs NOT for Small Dogs. I was asked to review this  CBBPET 4 FT Rope Leash for Small Dog s,  and I accepted because it said it was for small dogs. I got it for my 5 lb papillon. This leash is not for very small dogs. With that said, this would be a GREAT leash for training medium size and large, especially good for those dogs that lunge and pull or a rescue dog with behavioral problems. The leash is a thick and heavy and very sturdy. At 4 feet, it is a short leash. The handle is roomy and cushioned. In addition, the leash is reflective for safety. This would be an IDEAL leash to train a dog or control a dog which has bad habits. The sturdy leash would provide some cushioning from the shock of a lunging/pulling animal, as would the cushioned grip.  While I cannot recommend  CBBPET 4 FT Rope Leash  f or very small dogs, it is an excellent choice if you have a larger dog you need to train or control.

  Greater Goods Blood Pressure Monitor Cuff Kit   Greater Goods Blood Pressure Monitor Cuff Kit Is Convenient and Accurate Having high blood pressure means you sometimes have to check your blood pressure at home to provide your doctor with updates on any changes between doctor visits. I have been using a blood pressure device where I had to pump the arm cuff up manually, listen through a stethoscope and count the beats. I was never sure exactly when to start counting or if my readings were accurate. In addition, although it came with a carrying case, I could never get all the parts into the case for trips. It was not convenient to use nor was it convenient to carry on trips.   Greater Goods Blood Pressure Monitor Cuff Kit When I saw the  Greater Goods Blood Pressure Monitor Cuff Kit listed on Walmart I noticed two things immediately. It was the same price as my stethoscope kit but it has a digital display instead of my having to count.  The Greater Goods Blood P...

Free Speech Under Fire on Social Media Although you can slide some things into comments on social media like Facebook and Instagram, as far as posts, here is a partial list of things social media will censor, and you don’t have to be yelling “fire” in a theater or “threatening” anyone to be censored. You just have to have an opposing set of facts that challenges their beliefs.  "You never learn the whole truth by only hearing half the story."   Remember.

Are the Coronavirus Vaccinations as Safes as We Are Being Told? As a health writer, I continue to hear troubling stories about adverse effects from COVID-19 vaccinations. While many mainstream media sources along with the CDC, WHO, government and social media "fact checkers" continue to say these Coronoavirus vaccines are tested and safe, independent medical experts say otherwise. There have been numerous reports of health issues, adverse effects and even death from the U.S. and other countries around the world.  Find out more at:  Bad Reactions to COVID Vaccinations Include Convulsions, Tremors and Death
