Amazon fun

Do you buy things from Amazon, but you want to support small businesses? Did you know you can do both? Yes there are lots of small businesses that use Amazon to sell or distribute their products. I feature several in My Amazon Storefront.

Recently I was accepted into the Amazon Influencer and Associate programs and I am having so much fun finding deals to share! Here’s a fun one! Go make a Wedding gift registry so people will know what you are wishing for to update your home and life. Or if you are having a baby or grandbaby or have had one recently consider setting up a Baby Gift Registry. It’s fun and Free! Come try this with me! Drop me a pm if you do so I can try and track it with you and spread the word to your friends!

For example, my cousin was looking for a Vita-mix like blender. I did some checking around and found AMZCHEF Smoothie Countertop Blender, 1800 W Professional Blender for Kitchen with 600ml Travel bottle, High-Speed Blender for Shakes, Smoothies, Ice Crushing, Frozen Fruits. There’s a 40% off coupon available at the time I’m writing this article. Or Amazon’s choice is the Ninja SS151 TWISTi Blender DUO, High-Speed 1600 WP Smoothie Maker & Nutrient Extractor* 5 Functions Smoothie, Spreads & More, smartTORQUE, 34-oz. Pitcher & (2) To-Go Cups, Gray or the Ninja AMZ493BRN Compact Kitchen System, 1200W, 3 Functions for Smoothies, Dough & Frozen Drinks with Auto-IQ, 72-oz.* Blender Pitcher, 40-oz. Processor Bowl & 18-oz. Single-Serve Cup, Grey While this “Baptist Blender” is small it has a lot of jobs it does well. Like making Mayo or scrambling eggs. Its currently 25% off Hamilton Beach 4-in-1 Electric Immersion Hand Blender with Handheld Blending Stick, Whisk + 3-Cup Food & Vegetable Chopper Bowl, 2-Speeds, 225 Watts, Silver and Stainless Steel (59765) Many people choose this one the most Mueller Ultra-Stick 500 Watt 9-Speed Immersion Multi-Purpose Hand Blender Heavy Duty Copper Motor Brushed 304 Stainless Steel With Whisk, Milk Frother Attachments

One other honorable mention that could do the job at 14% off. The Magic Bullet Blender, Small, Silver, 11 Piece Set

If you really have your heart set on Vitamix then Amazon’s Choice would be Vitamix VM0197 Explorian Blender, Professional-Grade, 48 oz. Container, Black. Currently 14% off with a possible other coupon.

Is there a product you would like me to review? Reach out to me and let me know! I would love to do this for you and add it to my storefront.

Podcasts to enrich your lives.

Who gets sick and how to prevent it.
Dr. Gabor Maté

In this podcast here’s a few things that stood out to me.

  • One who tends to put others emotional needs compulsively above their own
  • People tend to be overidentified with duty, role, and responsibility rather than the needs of themselves
  • People who repress healthy anger (Boundry Defense)
  • We feel it’s our responsible for how other people feel and you must not ever disappoint anybody
  • Humans are trained to go against their Motherly, Natural instincts
  • It’s the attempt to NOT feel pain that makes us sick
  • Commit to your healing– What is important to you?

Stress Triggers
Uncertainty
Conflict
Lack of Control
Lack of information

Learning these stress triggers helps us learn how to better navigate them or provide more information to help the child through a situation.

The child’s brain circuitry is programmed by the Mother’s emotional state.

Dr. Gabor Maté (addiction, stress, and childhood development speaker & bestselling author) joins us to explain which groups of people tend to be most prone to chronic illness, practical ways we can prevent these diagnoses, and the link between childhood trauma and mental & physical health conditions later on in life. He details health conditions you may not know have stress-related causes and explains why healthy attachment and meeting a child’s needs is even more important than we think. Dr. Maté identifies characteristics of those who are prone to chronic illness, reveals why autoimmune diseases predominantly affect women, and discusses the dangers of systematic denial of our emotions. He and Mayim consider the ways well-meaning loving parents can unintentionally create lower level trauma in their kids, how feelings of being unwanted can lead to workaholism, and the limitations of a traditional nuclear family. They discuss Dr. Maté’s time working at a supervised injection site, why most people in the prison system are highly traumatized, and why trauma goes hand-in-hand with addiction.
