Melting Forest Mushroom Gummies

 


I am always on the look out for products that promote better sleep, give me more energy, or help me relax. There are lots of options, but if I'm putting something in my body, I want a drug-free alternative to medications that won't leave me feeling hungover. CBD Living has a full line of health supplements to help reduce stress levels and boost your immunity. I got to try the Melting Forest Chill Mushroom Gummies, and while they aren't as trippy as they sound, they are definitely a great way to help you relax. They relieve minor symptoms of anxiety without making you sleepy. I take two in the morning and I don't feel nearly as stressed throughout the day. As an added bonus, they taste great. The Melting Forest supplements come in Dragon Fruit flavor. Eating them is like getting a tasty treat in addition to a healthy supplement.

In addition to the Chill variety, Melting Forest comes in a Balance formula in prickly pear flavor. While the mushroom supplements are the newest addition to the family, CBD Living, who manufactures the product, also has a full line of CBD products for both humans and pets including supplements, creams, and oils. 

Overall, our experience with CBD Living has been stellar. I don't need to use them everyday, but when I have  a day where I can't stop by mind from turning, these help me relax and get through the work day without feeling drowsy which was exactly what I was looking for. Be sure to check out the CBD Living website to see all this great company has to offer.

Interview - Tips for Travelling with Overactive Bladder

 

MANAGING TRAVEL OR ATTENDING EVENTS DESPITE HAVING TO GO

Tips for Traveling with Overactive Bladder (OAB)

For the approximately 33 million Americans affected by symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB), traveling or attending events may be limited, always worrying about where the nearest bathroom may be and whether they’ll make it in time.1

OAB is a common condition where the bladder muscle suddenly contracts too frequently and often. Many patients may feel embarrassed to talk about it with their doctor.2

OAB can lead to frequent urination, usually eight or more times in 24 hours, and urge urinary incontinence or the sudden loss of bladder control. For some, the urge to urinate can be so sudden and strong that patients may not make it to the restroom in time and result in leakage.2

If you think you may be experiencing these symptoms, patients should talk to their doctors who may recommend lifestyle changes such as dietary adjustments and bladder training exercises. There are medications a doctor can prescribe that may help.


Check out our interview with Dr. Ashley Tapscott, Urologist and Bladder Health Expert as we discuss the issues surrounding OAB, how it impacts patients, and what treatment options are available.



More tips for managing OAB4:

  • ·     If traveling, plan to stop every 2-4 hours to reduce strain on your bladder. Drink plenty of water, but  limit your intake a few hours before traveling
  • ·     If possible, avoid certain foods and beverages that can irritate the bladder, such as alcohol, coffee, and spicy and citrusy foods
  • ·   Relax and try to control the urge

Halloween Horoscope!

 



We have one special Halloween creeping up, with the solar eclipse and the retrograde movement of Mars coloring our thoughts. This holiday seems to be the perfect opportunity to let our spooky Self out and face some of our own shadows in a liberating way. If you feel pressured or sad, the spirit of Halloween will help you focus on something creative and fun. Make the best out of this moment, bringing humor into your life as a remedy for any hardship you’ve had to endure. 

Aries 

With your Sun in Aries, there will be confusion on your plate with more tricks than treats that you must deal with. As promising as some circumstances might have seemed, everything is bound to change in an instant, leaving little room for you to take back control and move towards your usual goals. Instead of putting your head through a wall, take a step back to enjoy yourself and relax. Unwind with people you care for and add color to your home. 

A pumpkin spice latte will do you more good than all the overthinking you may give in to. Slow down and you might find that you are more excited about that loud party with weird social circles that you are invited to than any of your daily concerns. Choose a costume that compliments your inner child, be that animal that supports your highest energy for a day, and make something with your own two hands. A set of black gloves, whiskers or a mustache are an excellent final touch to fit your current mood.

Taurus

The push of pressure that comes with Venus entering Scorpio cannot be tamed. Passion and excitement will rise, along with some sadness or disturbing feelings that you aren’t sure how to deal with. If you let go of the flow, it might bring some deep and thorough changes to your personal life. Remember that you have the ability to hold on to inner peace through pleasure and motivating connections. Intimacy is challenged but if anyone can deal with this problem, it is a Taurus. 

What matters the most on this October 31st is the people that you are surrounded with. Do not go to a party that does not feel inviting. Instead, make decisions that are cozy and in tune with your satisfaction. Help someone choose their costume, put a spiderweb on their hair, and feel free to express the darkest side of your personality in safe company. If you are in a romantic relationship, matching outfits could add to intimacy and bring out your fun, childlike connection, reviving the bond in its most positive form. 

Gemini 

If someone is bound to make weird choices on Halloween, it is a Gemini. You are not exactly on a mission to make a mess out of things, but your rational side seems to be on a quest of its own. You are ready to take what this life has to offer. This is an adventurous time that is also filled with risks and emotions that are necessary to feed parts of you that you didn’t think are still there. Keep your words in check so you don’t cross too many boundaries along the way and stay away from toxins that might damage your physiology. 

In the light of absurdity and some meaningless situations that sparked your humor, you would probably feel best in a pinkish shepherdess costume or one of a Fairy Godmother. You have had some dark moments that you wish to put a special sparkle on and your Halloween outfit should reflect on your positive outlook on darkness. You might feel alone in a crowd but this won’t stop you from dancing, grabbing a microphone, or taking a leap of faith in a strange direction. Enjoy the moment with an open mind, eat something spicy, and don’t let anyone make you too serious.

Cancer

This season of Scorpio brought your creativity to bloom. You should use the moment to make something new and express yourself through any form of art. You are ready to deal with tough choices and feelings, diving in deep to come out with a fresh perspective. It is important to widen horizons so you don’t get stuck in difficulties that are ready to be resolved. Some people in your life are worth a lot of effort, but you must allow your own needs to be met as well. 

Food preparations are your forte, giving a special twist to your role in Halloween preparations. Make room for the patient version of yourself that enjoys certain tastes and details. Take your time and wear something comfortable yet spooky enough to keep you in the mood for the atmosphere of this holiday. Layers of materials and shadow around your eyes, a spiky hat or a pair of strange shoes, and you will relax into roles that don’t burden you with norms and rules you wish to avoid. 

Leo

The solar eclipse is hard on you, bringing influences that you haven’t been prepared for and other people’s expectations that simply feel wrong. If you feel like you’re up against the world, this is the time to pursue circumstances that bring joy instead of chasing for justice. This Halloween comes with a special opportunity to lay back and observe. Behavior in social circles and communication between peers carries information you could use for your future endeavors.

You are used to being the light of the party. This time, you might feel better if you let others take the leading role and simply go with the flow. If you feel the need to, this is the right time to go all out with home decorations, skeletons, a vampire costume or any undead theme you can think of. Extremes in self-expression will boost your spirits and raise your energy when it gets low. Still, you should recharge your batteries and don’t have to organize everything even if you are used to doing so. 

Virgo

Your voice needs to be heard and it is never easy to express your deepest, darkest thoughts. Intimacy comes with special rewards. You can find deep connections with certain people if you keep your heart open. Seek perspective of others for your own dilemmas, give in to an exciting emotional roller coaster, and help out if someone is in need. Still, make sure you don’t sacrifice yourself for things that have little to do with the way you wish to live your life. 

Your outfit for Halloween is some form of a statement and is more potent in the way to express yourself than usual. The real challenge here is to go with options that you wish to choose, keeping your boundaries safe and enjoying your own choices. Many opinions might interfere with your own. To have fun and relax, you will need a solid structure of confidence and to feel safe in your chosen surroundings. There is no need to settle for halfway solutions if your heart is pulling you elsewhere. 



LIbra

After several weeks of stable balance, you will feel a sudden drop where emotions easily shift and mood changes are unpredictable. You cannot control things that are pure and honest within you, so you might as well let them be, choosing to trust your instinct over every socially acceptable choice. Be careful of words as they might be hurtful, trying not to take things personally when you can simply move to a safer distance. Crisis is upon you, but your depth of mind will pick up the pieces soon enough and help you understand the behavior of others better. 

Valuable time is what this Halloween needs. Perhaps you are not in the mood for superficial relationships or your usual social circle. If this is the case, wander around, give yourself permission to show your provocative side, and keep your head held high. Those who know you well are aware of your true personality and the mellow side to your nature, even when you wear shiny spandex. Whatever you do, go a bit over the edge to check if your comfort zone is ready for expansion. 

Scorpio

You are not exactly rational, although you are trying to be in the face of all the information you’ve received lately. Changes are inevitable. All you can do is relax and go with the flow of circumstance, catching every chance you get to enjoy the ride. Balance is there to be found, in simple choices, the food you eat, activity you make a habit of, and the energy you invest in making your home comfortable and clean. Set professional goals aside for a moment and make yourself happy through your routine.

This is an excellent moment to organize a party and make preparations with people you care for. Invite everyone over, arrange space, decorations and music. Life offers a variety of fun choices, infinite opportunities to laugh, and you will regain momentum when you feel connected to others. If you have a dilemma about your outfit, choose the one that allows the most movement. This is your time to shine, use it to set free from the seriousness of life. 

Sagittarius

With so much emotion in the atmosphere, you cannot even overthink things the way you normally would. From a position of healthy dialogue to complete confusion, relationships won’t be the stable pillar you are looking for. You normally choose honesty and a dignified approach, but some boundaries might have to be set in rough ways. Mind your own business and don’t get involved in gossip, distancing yourself from those who talk behind your back. 

This Halloween can become a magical moment to transform into a unicorn, spread some fairy dust, or go to the other extreme of mixing potions for the crowd in a big smoking bowl, in the middle of the woods. Options are many and you should connect as many absurd and different themes as possible. Buy some gifts, special treats for good friends, and laugh your way out of challenging aspects in the sky. If someone can create a worthy adventure right now, it is you. 

Capricorn


This is a sensitive time, even if you don’t want others to see that. If you bury yourself in work, setbacks come as a message to get some rest and deal with your feelings. There is exhilaration and insight to intimate conversations when you open your heart, but you must be prepared to be even more vulnerable once you dive into those waters. Realize that consequences of you expressing your needs are always better than keeping your heart shut. 

The inner child yearns to come out. For this Halloween, don’t hold back. Put a skeleton out in the yard or a witch on your window, letting that playful little Capricorn come out to play. Use some solitude to pick out the perfect setting and don’t smother your heart with resistance towards the social context. You have nothing to lose by having some fun, especially if you’ve been overburdened lately. It is time to relax. 

Aquarius

The structure has been set and you’ve taken responsibility for the freedom you desire. Check your actual possibilities in weeks to come, experimenting and allowing yourself to be completely unordinary, maybe even unacceptable. If you lack the confidence or have trouble with authorities, try to be forgiving, for yourself and for all those who stand in the way of your authentic self-expression. Misunderstandings are natural, but you should still take space to be honest with yourself and live a joyous life, just as you are.

On Halloween, shift and change your moods, your outfits, your social circles and your attitudes. Independence is what makes it fun and where emotions are colorful enough, you will have no trouble fitting in. Ask your body if it feels well in current surroundings and listen to it when it is time to move, or stick around. Spontaneity is the key to having a good time, so don’t worry so much about that costume when you need to worry about what is best for your authentic being. 

Pisces

Things at home and in your intimate world are heating up and taking a strange turn. You may have trouble speaking with a family member and feelings of all sorts tend to distract you from loving and joyous occasions and moments in the days ahead. Luckily, you can see the purpose in anything that comes your way and find hope where things seemed hopeless in the past. If you feel the love in your chest, realize that it speaks of your own inner treasure and keep it safe. 

This is an excellent year for a Halloween walk, trick-or-treating, or some big festivals where you can get lost in the crowd. Think outside the box and wear something that makes you feel beautiful in your own body. Let the makeup point out your best features and have your best friend there to make preparations fun. Travel with ideas that are completely new and have someone by your side who is happy to join you on that journey.

Dad Spelled Backward: A Journey Through the Maze of Love, Marriage, and Adoption

Can you die from having too much sex? That’s the question Dr. Michael King, a well-respected dentist in New York, asks in 

Dad Spelled Backward: A Journey Through the Maze of Love, Marriage, and Adoption. Mike had never thought much about getting married and becoming a father, but all that changed when, in his fifties, he met Gabriella, his lovely (and much younger) French wife. Together they decide to try to become parents, and they do all they can to make a baby—to the point where Mike wonders if one can die from too much sex.

 

This candid account by a husband and father is insightful, moving, fiercely funny—and ultimately a testament to unconditional love. Mike tells his story of how, wanting to make his wife happy after realizing that they couldn’t successfully conceive a child, he reluctantly agrees to move on to the next phase of potential parenthood—adoption.

Unfortunately, domestic adoption is often a long, costly process that takes couples on a roller-coaster ride from hope to despair and back again. Mike recounts how he and Gabriella were connected with one pregnant woman after another until they were finally given a baby, only to have to give the infant back when the birth mom changed her mind. This left them so emotionally drained that they had to decide whether the price of becoming parents was too high and whether it was time to give up.


Such heartbreak might have driven other couples apart, but Gabriella and Mike only became closer; their love for one another grew even stronger, and they did at last get to be parents. “I hope this book inspires people who want to, or are considering whether to, become parents,” Mike says. “We all face obstacles in life, but if love prevails, it’s worth the struggle.”

 

An interview with Dr. Mike King will have you laughing and crying as Mike sharing his heartwarming story of one man’s journey into happy marriage and fatherhood.  Please let me know if I can send you a hard copy of the book or an electronic version.


>Dr. Mike King, comedian and pediatric dentist, has built his practice in an unusual way: to relax the kids, he incorporates comedy and magic tricks into his treatment. He has written two children’s books, Flossopher and the Brushing Trees and Enamel the Camel. Entertaining is in Mike’s blood: His dad owned Sid King’s Crazy Horse Bar in Denver, Colorado. In the 1970s and ’80s, it was one of the most popular burlesque houses West of the Mississippi, so it was just a matter of time before Mike began to perform for grown-ups. In the comedy-club circuit he’s known as “The Fifth Dentist”—you know—“Four out of five dentists recommend sugarless gum.” Mike appears regularly at Broadway Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, and Gotham Comedy Club. His musical, The Lap Dance Kid, is in production, and he’s also written a one-man show. Mike’s greatest joy is spending time with his wife and their daughter. They live in New York City.

My Thoughts 

Okay, so you need to understand something about my dog before we get into the review.... she is neurotic and incredibly anxiety ridden. If you are folding laundry and snap a towel or something while folding it, she is gone. Bolts out of the room. You move too fast, gone. Balloon pops, gone. Vacuum, gone. Her favorite place to hide is under my son's futon. She is like a cat. She has always been like this. We are a loving, happy family. My other dog acts like one of our children and is a spoiled prince lol. We treat her just as well, if not better. I baby her. This is just her personality. However, the worst is when there is a storm, or fireworks. She really gets worked up then. It breaks my heart. So when I heard about these treats, I thought to myself, she is a prime candidate for it. They sounded better for her than putting her on prescription meds. 
Now I am not going to lie to you and say she was miraculously cured after eating these treats, but I did notice a significant change in her. She was far less jumpy, and during a storm her "nervous period" was definitely not as long or as strong (she shakes). These treats are great for animals. They are fantastic for digestive and keeping your dog regular as well. I have an 11 year old chocolate lab as well and the mobility chews are great for his old man joints. He seems perkier and wants to play with the kids when I give them to him on the regular. I definitely can see more "puppy glow" in his eyes when he eats them. I love the flavors too. All of the benefits are fantastic as well. If you have nervous dogs, dogs with digestion problems, older dogs, really any dog (they boost immune support) can have benefits from these treats. I want to check their other products as well. I am really interested in the water boosters.

New Book Teaches Children Love, Acceptance and the Importance of Brushing Their Teeth

Enamel wishes he were like all the other camels who live in Camel-lot, but his front teeth are bigger than anyone else’s.   Enamel has an overbite, which he brushes to a bright, glowing shine. This marks Enamel as different from his fellow camels and he’s the only camel who brushes his teeth.  Because his teeth are so prominent, he gets teased at school. Despite kind words from Enamel’s friends, the bullying gets him down. After being teased one time too many during a student outing at the Big Palm Oasis, Enamel decides he’d rather be alone. But when an epic sandstorm blows in, Enamel saves the day. Using his teeth in a very “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” fashion, Enamel leads his scared classmates home to their worried parents. The town thanks him with an award for heroism, and everyone starts brushing their teeth and smiling.

Enamel the Camel is an upbeat humorous story for children about sticking out, stepping up, and the importance of good dental care written by Dr. Mike King, a pediatric dentist in New York City since 1986.  

In his dental practice, Dr. Mike as he is called, uses jokes, magic tricks, and a calming nature to treat his young patients.  Enamel the Camel is his latest book to help children understand and appreciate their teeth.  He has pioneered the philosophy or “flossophy” as he likes to call it, that smiling and laughing should be part of a child’s dental experience.

Enamel wishes he were like all the other camels who live in Camel-lot, but his front teeth are bigger than anyone else’s.  And they stick out!  He’s the only camel who brushes his teeth – he has to because everyone can see them.

Get Prepared for Spring with this New Camping Essential!

 


Getting outside is so important for your body and mind. Step out for a walk, go camping at a local site, or relax in your backyard. You won't need to worry about getting rid of pesky bugs with this new camping essential by, Katchy! Make the most out of the outdoors with the Katchy Duo: 2-in-1 Automatic Indoor Insect Trap. 

Katchy’s safe Automatic UV Light indoor insect trap with automatic sensor is meant for catching fruit flies, gnats, and mosquitoes. With 3X Trap Power, the UV light and removable scented bait pod attract the fruit fly, gnat, or mosquito. The fan sucks it in while the sticky glue boards trap it. Easily place in your home kitchen, office as a decorative, stylish piece. No more ugly traps or flypaper. Set close to insect-ridden fruit, plants, or trash bin. For best results, use it at night or in the dark.

What's included:

Katchy Duo Indoor Insect Trap

AC 110 Wall Adapter

4 Glue Boards

Tech Specs:

Power Input: 6W (12V, 500mAh)

Weight: 1.10 lbs. / .5 kg.

Height: 7.5 in., Width: 5.0 in.

Diameter: 5.0 in.


My Thoughts:

One of my pet peeves during the Spring and warmer weather months is mosquitos, gnats, and flies! It's so tough to find products on the market that not only draw them in but also help with getting rid of them. Flypapers are such a pain to deal with and zappers can be dangerous if you aren't careful. When I got the Katchy Duo, I was so excited to try it out! I finished up my cooking one night and noticed a couple flies around the kitchen. I immediately loaded the trap with the glue board. I then filled the scented bait pod. After plugging it in I noticed the fan was relatively silent and had a couple settings for power, as did the UV light. Even the gentlest setting proved to be effective! The fruit flies were gone within the hour. I was so impressed! 

Not only did I love that the trap was nice and quiet, but it was also a great size that didn't get in the way. I found the design to be sleek and nice, and it made a great night light as well. It was easy to set up and helped keep my kitchen clean. I'm looking forward to bringing it with me for camping trips and bonfires in the Spring and Summer months. I can see this being a new essential in my life! I would recommend it to anyone who is trying to keep their home and outdoors bug-free!

Paint Your Own Pottery at Home Kits




Check out the super cute new kits from Pottery Awesomeness! These are the perfect project for kids and families to enjoy together. With themed-subscription boxes, like Halloween, Sweet Tooth, Sports Fanatic and more, kids will be excited to receive these boxes that come with everything they need to create their masterpiece! Each box includes three cute figurines, acrylic paint, paint brushes, a glossy sealer and an instruction card with QR codes that will direct painters to painting tutorials and instructions. For every kit purchased, Pottery Awesomeness donates a painting kit to sick children in hospitals. They work directly with the lead art therapist at each hospital to determine what supplies are needed. 




My Thoughts

I loved these! My kids thought they were amazing. We love doing crafts like this. Perfect gift for grandparents or parents alike. It included a good color selection. You can also add your own acrylic colors if you want more, or mix the colors to make your own. I learned how to make brown doing this project lol. It didn’t look like a lot of paint, but it was more than enough. This kit is of good quality and a great value. It also comes with directions, and a glaze to seal them with when you are done. This is one of those wonderful zen like projects where I can turn off my brain and relax. it is like mediation for me. I am actually going to put these up with the Halloween decorations and save them for next year as well. 

The only fault I have with it is that the brushes are tiny. For the pumpkin I used the larger one that they have you for the glaze and went and got a second one from my own collection to apply the glaze with. The kids helped me with the pumpkin. There are tons of boxes to choose. They have standard packages where you can order one box, monthly subscriptions, and party packs. If you wanted to have a home pottery painting party for a birthday, these are perfect. They are completely customizable as well. You can do simple packs or pick out all decorations and themes. They are a party in a box. Super cute.
