Precise Zen Clippers #Review #HGG19 @PetInnov

2019 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

I Received The Below Mentioned Complimentary Product Either For Free Or A Discounted Price For The Purpose Of This Post. All Opinions And Thoughts Are 100% My Own.

If you have pets, Then you know clipping their nails can be a task that no one looks forward to. The first time, I clipped their nails, It did not seem to bother them. Every time I now clip them, It take both of us. One to hold them and 1 to do the clipping. We were always afraid of cutting their nails to short. We always hesitated when it came time to do the cutting. I was over the moon when the opportunity came about to review the Precise Zen Clippers from Pet Product Innovations LLC.

About The Precise Zen Clippers~

Zen Clipper Precise gives you control and peace of mind when trimming your pet’s nails. You decide how much nail to trim, not the random movements of your furry family member! Simply adjust the blade opening to match the amount of nail to be trimmed and the patented adjustment system prevents the nail from going any further into the cutting area. The sharp, stainless-steel blades surround the nail and quietly clip, instead of crushing an uncertain length as with other nail trimmers.

My Review/Thoughts~

We also have cats. If you have cats, Then you know how cutting their nails can be a slippery slope. That is how we felt until I review the Precise Zen Clippers. Now it is as easy as 1-2-3. You just determine how much of the nail you want to cut and adjust the blade by using the thumb wheel. This way you can safe and easily cut their nails with confidence. Made of stainless steel they are extra sharp. They will cut through even the thickest of nails. For smaller pets, They have another type of clippers. The Precise Zen Clippers have a limited lifetime consumer warranty. Clip the nail not the quick!

I cannot tell you enough how much I approve of the is product. It has been also approved by Haley and Harley!

Maya Mountain Salt and Pepper Mill #HGG19 @Belizean_Spices

2019 Holiday Gift Guide, Gifts For The Family, Reviews · 

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

Cooking is something my husband excels at. Eating is something I excel at. The one thing I learned is that seasoned or seasoning your food makes it so much more flavorful. When it comes to salt and pepper, There can just be to many bottles on the table. For this reason, I was thrilled when the review opportunity came about to review the Maya Mountain Salt and Pepper Mill with Ceramic Burr.

About Maya Mountain~

In 2015, Eric and Cindy Noel disembarked from a Carnival cruise ship in Belize City.  They were quickly whisked through a chain-link gate onto a waiting bus to take them to Al-tun-ha, a spectacular display of ancient Mayan civilization.  On the way, they noticed impoverished villages, roads, schools, and shops in what most would consider to be in disrepair and realized that life brought many challenges to these villagers…they knew in some way, some day, they would return.

In the fall of 2015, Eric and Cindy met a couple who had been serving people in Belize for 20+ years helping to develop a sewing ministry. They joined them and The Word at Work in 2016 to spend 10 days on a visioning trip where they would get to know many servants throughout Belize.  Visiting children’s homes, rescue shelters, and the only prison in Belize, the need for help growing food was apparent, and also desperately sought after.  With their background in agriculture and food preparation, Eric and Cindy returned from this trip and began focusing on raising funds to return in 2017 – which they did – for 40 days in fact!   The rest is beginning to be history…

2017

Seeking remote villages to work with farmers, families and schools, Eric and Cindy have begun to build strong, fruitful and tremendously rewarding relationships.  Backyard garden projects, community gardens at primary schools, food preparation and preservation training, developing seed banks, providing educational sponsorships, providing seeds and equipment for increased crop production and processing and micro-financing loans for small business start-ups are just some of the projects that are underway.

Our work in Belize was facilitated by many great people – from north to south in this amazing country of resourceful, hard-working people.  We are grateful for the time they extended to us to help familiarize us with the people and the land.  Now, as we set out on our own, adventurously seeking to find additional villages to connect with, we look forward with great excitement to what lies ahead.

TODAY

Maya Mountain was founded and is run by farmers.  We understand that the global food system doesn’t always play fair.  That’s why we invite you to join us in doing good in 2 ways.

First, when purchasing from Maya Mountain, you’re buying products that ensure farmers can provide financial stability for their family.

Secondly, 10% of all profits are donated back to nonprofits working with communities in southern Belize.

You can be part of this adventure with us by purchasing some of the highest quality spices nature has to offer.

This attractive salt and pepper mill is perfect for those who enjoy the enhanced flavor of freshly ground spices.

My Review/Thoughts~

I love freshly ground spices. There is nothing better than to be able to do this at the dinner table. To add another layer of freshly ground spices right before you eat it makes the flavors of the dish out of this world. One thing about the Maya Mountain Salt and Pepper Mill is that is salt and pepper  both in one container that grinds them both as needed and how much you need. There is nothing better tasting than freshly ground spices of salt and pepper. Not only is the design sleek and elegant but it is super easy to use. The Maya Mountain Salt and Pepper Mill is very affordable. You can either purchase one on their site or at local farmer markets.

All of my friends say they could not live without their Multipot. I must be the last one to jump on the Multipot band wagon. I still had to see what all the hype was all about. I was thrilled when I was offered the chance to review the Mealthy Multipot to review for my 2019 Holiday Gift Guide.

I decided to make a recipe from the Mealthy smart phone app. I chose to make Beef Stew. It is the perfect time of the year for it.

I will never make Beef Stew any other way. The broth was not to thick. It was just right. The flavors were perfect. Everything about this dish was perfect. My husband who is very picky ate most of the stew. I was lucky to get a few bowls.

How to Help a Loved One in Need

Reviews · 

Think about those in your life who are important to you in some way. They could be your friends, family members, your partner, or your colleagues. Now consider that at any given time, any of them could be struggling with some sort of mental health issue.

In fact, 1 in 5 people are living with a mental health condition that can sometimes or often cause disruption in their daily lives. It’s also common for those who struggle with a mental health disorder to simultaneously have problems with substance use, or have co-occurring disorders like sex addiction or a gambling addiction.

You may have seen signs of them struggling, or they may have reached out to you directly in order to get advice or help, but perhaps you weren’t sure how to help them or where to start.

While they will most likely need to seek professional help from a doctor, psychologist, rehabilitation facility, or a sex addiction therapist like Sex Addiction Houston in order to heal properly and move on, you can still be there for them on their healing journey and offer your support.

Here are the best ways you can help a friend or loved one in need~

Stay calm

One of the most important things to remember is to remain calm. It can be troubling to recognize that someone close to you needs help, and it can be overwhelming to help them through it, but your stability will be a guiding light for them.

If they’re panicking and aren’t sure where to turn, you need to be calm and reassuring rather than panicked as well, since that will only make matters worse. Consider how they’re feeling, what they could be thinking, and what you’re feeling and thinking. It may help to write them down in order to better understand and take a step back before acting.

Educate yourself

You don’t need to become an expert, because there’s too much to know and learn when it comes to mental health and addiction issues, but it is good to know the signs and symptoms that your loved one is experiencing. Also, knowing more about the condition they’re struggling with can help you be more empathetic and offer better help.

Listen to them

Often, having a shoulder to cry on and an ear to talk to can make a huge difference. You can be there for your friend or loved one by truly listening to them and caring about their experience. Try your best not to compare them to another person’s experience, including your own, but rather actively listen and be present if they need someone to talk to.

Be supportive, but set boundaries

One of the best ways to be helpful is to ask the person how you can help, or what they need right now. You want to try your best to be supportive, so asking them how you can do that gives them the strength and empowers them to take control over their recovery.

However, it’s also important to set some boundaries. Offering to help someone in need shows you’re a caring person, and often those that care end up neglecting themselves in the process.

Practicing self-care is crucial because if you aren’t taken care of, it’s much more difficult to help someone else. You can be there for your loved one, but remember to take care of yourself too.
