The Great Thai Communal Wardrobe Advent Giveaway!
I've currently collected/documented 45 items of clothing (and accessories) that have reappeared in various Thai series over the past four years - these are only the ones that have been discovered, I'm sure there are more.
These 45 items are spread over 38 shows and are worn by 78 different characters (mains, sides, and random extras).
At the most, one item has been worn by 8 different people in 6 series, several have been used 3-5 times, but the majority have only appeared in two different shows (so far!).
There has been one recent show which has featured 15 items of clothing which have been worn in other series! The next highest number is 11 in a show which aired last year. And then the 3rd and 4th spot go to a show from two years ago (with 10 items) and one from this year (with 6).
I have currently ordered all the items by the number of times used and then by air date (with the highest and earliest first), but once I start posting them I will add any new discoveries to the end of the list (from 46 onwards).
And I'd like your involvement to post them!
Between now and Nov 15th send me an ask or a DM with one of the following requests to either have the item dedicated to yourself or you can gift it to another blog. (Anon is also fine but I'd suggest using an obscure emoji so you can identify yourself).
You can request:
A random number in the list (1-45)
The name of a particular show
A specific character or actor
Something funny or stylish or that I think you might like
A specific item (if you have a pretty confident idea of one that exists)
And a specific date you would like your post published if you have one (I'm mainly trying to decide what order to publish them all in)
A point to note: I've already published number 3 and number 6 (although the latter is now wrongly-numbered 😥 so I might consider editing the original post...again).
My plan is to post two a day from Dec 1st in the run up to Christmas, like an advent calendar, so I've set the deadline for requests early enough to give me time to organise the posts (since work does get in the way sometimes).
And if you do spot any more shared clothing across series, do let me know!
Tagging some people in case you're interested and to help me spread the word: @grapejuicegay @celestial-sapphicss @twig-tea @rocketturtle4 @waitmyturtles @respectthepetty @chickenstrangers @ranchthoughts @slayerkitty @colourme-feral @blmpff @telomeke @nothingsbetterthancoffee @lurkingshan @ephemeral-hiraeth @thegalwhorants @hughungrybear @i-got-the-feels @icouldhyperfixatehim @dragonsareawesome123 @sparklyeyedhimbo @first-kanaphan @italianpersonwithashippersheart @shouldiusemyname @gabrielokun @ghoststookournightmares @morathicain @nongnaopat @lamonnaie @natalias-pierogi @mysterygrl20 @nahaluk @callipigio @multifanofmultifandom @dramarec @cangse-sanren @williamrikers @justafriend-ql @heretherebedork @forcebook @non-binarypal7 @aprilblossomgirl @morkofday @brazilian-whalien52

Collection of Free Art Tutorials
I don't usually make text post on this blog, but a nice artist I know was asking for tutorials a while back and I forgot to send some to them while in school. So here's a post on it since it's easiest to grab and go this way. :)
This list focuses on the basics. I'm focusing on the foundations of art, so medium is generally irrelevant and you can use physical or digital with these. You'll have to google more specific tutorials on things like character design and such.
One of the biggest pieces of advice I can give to you is strangely, introduce things to yourself one at a time. In art class, we took whole topics week by week. For high school, we did a few exercises then spent a week drawing/painting and doing your piece(s). For basic art 1 & 2 in college, we did 1-2 exercises and then did 1-2 drawings, followed by HW (which we turned in next week) and sketchbook practice (which she'd check at midpoints). For basic art lessons with a tutor, we did practice then our own art. You can see the pattern here - the point is don't be distressed if you don't get everything at once, or the lesson in 2 weeks, or the lesson in 3 years - we practice and do a lot over time, and you'll pick up on things you need to improve naturally and through help with others. Take time to be proud of your art in mini steps too, even if it's not the best! You tried and attempting to climb an obstacle over and over again before finally leapfrogging it is still progress to it.
Overall tutorials:
DrawABox.com is a site that's dedicated to art exercises and practicing when you can. They talk about the basics of art as well as how practice is important. It can get tough at times and it's ok to stop and do a balance of say those practices and doodles if you choose to try and do all of it's stuff - but you don't have to either. It's just a nice basic education done by some art nerds who like going hard.
Ethering Brothers - these guys are famous for their 40billion tutorials. If you need help on a specific idea, search their gallery and you'll likely find something.
Thundercluck's Art Fundamentals - She did a good huge ass tutorials on how things work, and it's the least overwhelming of the 3 I got in this section, so I suggest it as one of the first to look at for digital stuff.
Art Instructions Blog - Another good & simpler website that goes great into fundamentals. They focus more on traditional art but if you're digital, you can replicate most of the techniques - art fundamentals and subjects cover all mediums. Very important
Drawsh - Particularly notes on Construction: construction is the basics of building an illusion of a 3D image on a page. Figuring out how to build shape gives depth to your work, and learning how to see in 3D lets you be able to draw an item then move it around in your head (sometimes, when you're good enough, don't be afraid to pull out a reference or use live subjects). Construction is how to figure out the foundation of your drawing, and good planning = better picture! This link starts at the back, hit newer post to go forward.
There's a lot on anatomy and other nitty gritty details for when you want to practice those as well.
Griz and Norm's Assorted tips - Long time artist talk about various tips and tricks they use in art and how to avoid certain pitfalls. It's eclectic but great to look through.
James Gurney's Blog - He's got a lot of thoughts, a lot of tips, and a lot of adventures he catalogues. It's the least organized out of these but fortunately he has plenty of tags and most post have something neat going on. He's fantastic!🥰
BEFORE ALL OTHER BASICS….
How to Make Your Art Look Nice: Mindset
There's a lot of artist with different perspectives on how to approach art and your mindset while doing it, but the general consensus is that it's a process and sometimes you have to remind yourself to enjoy art!
Line
How to draw straight lines without a ruler. …but for the love of all that's good do NOT feel bad about using one! This talks about how to hold your pencil and how to do some good freehand stuff, some good practice.
5 grips for holding a Pencil for Drawing - This goes for pencil, pen, tablet, etc.. Get comfortable and figure out what's right for you and your pictures. I'd like to note that paintbrush holding will overlap, but some will differ.
A few line drawing exercises that help with line confidence.
Types of line drawings & what they are.
Contour Line & exercises with Mrs. Cook - Contour lines are one of the first art exercises I do in all the drawing classes I've taken. The good news is that they're surprisingly fun & look neat, even the blind contours!
Good deep thoughts on lines and how to use them.
Line Weight Tutorial
Lineart Weight Tips!
How to show variation in your line art: part 1 & part 2.
Some teacher's Drawing 1 & 2 lessons put online.
Light, Shadow, & Value
An introduction to tonal values.
Why values are important. The main reasons are that they give depth to a piece, and values literally shape our world.
Tonal Values: Everything you need to know
How does light work & the basics on Light
Light & Shadow in Art - much more in depth of the above! Highly recommended if you have time to spare.
Understanding grayscale/monochrome art. Great for shading & planning.
A guide to Cross Hatching (and hatching in general) - As a side note, crosshatching is one of the early things taught as it marries Line + Value into a nice neat package and helps add form with just a pen.
Crosshatching for Comics
Learn more about coloring by working in grayscale
How to Make Your Art Look Nice - Contrast!
Using lighting to make your art look nice.
Some light & shadow classifications.
Edges - notes on how they work in shading.
Color
A side note - color theory doesn't differ much, but color MIXING will change between mediums. If you're doing traditional colored pencil, you're overlapping 2 or more pigments on top of each other. If you're doing traditional paint, you're mixing & creating a solution/emulsion (depends on the pigment and binding) of pigments with the particles reflecting light in different ways. In digital, overlapping colors & blending colors depend on how the program you use calculates it if you're not just putting 2 color side by side. This just means you have to adjust your mixing when you switch between them. :)
Slawek Fedorczuk's Light & Color Tips - also shows how to guide through a scene.
The Color Tutorial Part 1 & 2 by Sashas - A personal favorite.
Color Studies 1-6 by Sheri Doty Amazingly nice breakdown on how color works in simple terms.
Sarah Culture's Tips on Color
The value of underpainting
A few notes on reflective light.
Experimental color techniques with Alai Ganuza: first post, second, & third.
Color zones of the face charts
Composition
Good Tips on Composition
Here's an example of how you can search the Etherington Brothers' stuff and get like 10 tutorials and tips on one subject. Composition & Cover Design, Shadow Composition, Two Line Composition - plus more.
How to make your art look nice: Thumbnailing!
And don't be afraid to make silly thumbnails or sketches.
Composition Examples - charts like these are great when you can't think of something yourself. There's no shame in using them.
Flow and Rhythm
Formulas for landscape composition.
Perspective
Perspective Drawing Tutorial by Julie Duell
Linear & Atmospheric Perspective Guide
One Point Perspective City Tut by Swingerzetta
Niso Explains Perspective - these are great for drawing figures in perspective!
Putting characters into scenes and drawing backgrounds
Backgrounds that make your character stand out!
Using background detail to guide the eye.
Odds and Ends
I shit you not, probably 1/3rd of my color, value, & structure knowledge comes from pixel art since I've done so much of it and it is all about challenging yourself to do the most you can with limitations. Check out lospec's tutorial database for fun and see how it compares to art techniques you're doing - even if you never try a medium, it's always interesting to see how it works. :D
How to Make Your Art Look Nice: Reference Images & Style, Pushing Proportions, and developing style.
Foervraengd talks about how he expanded his comfort zone with concept art & landscape drawing.
Luna Art talks about what they're thinking when doing concept art.
Repeating visual motifs in character design looks cool.
Eric's Thoughts on Drawing Backgrounds and Props.
Show vs. Tell: Why Visual is Not Optional in comics.
The Lost Vocabulary of Visual Story Telling Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, & Day 4.
Traditional Animation's 2 Digital Library books, The Know-How of Cartooning by Ken Hultgren & Advanced Animation by Preston Blair are two books from the golden age of animation they have up on their site for free viewing!
Animation resources dot org has a lot of cool stuff. Here's Nat Falk's How to Make Animated Cartoons (part 1). Their pages on Instruction & Theory are a good start.
Books
Good news: the internet archive has a TON of resources. Make sure to check around and toggle filters, it's a bit weird with organization. For example, a book can be under art or drawing - techniques, depending on who catalogues it.
Andrew Loomis is someone artist tend to die-hard reccomend. His work is collected here & here on the internet archive (one is Andrew Loomis, the other is Loomis, Andrew - thanks). I own Figure Drawing for All It's Worth and I recommend checking all of his stuff out, especially if you're having trouble with bodies and hands.
The Animator's Survival Guide by Richard Williams is mandatory in animation classes for good reason - it's fantastic!
Perspective for Comic Book Artist by David Chelsea is great for any type of artist. So is Extreme Perspective & Perspective in Action.
Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics, & Making Comics. The first one is on the internet archive, the second two are likely avaliable at your library or at a bookstore as they're pretty popular.
Speaking of comics, Drawing Comics the Marvel Way has been a favorite of comic artist for years no matter what comic book companies and artist you like, it's a good introduction.
Anything by or endorsed by James Gurney, Color and Light: A Guide for the Realistic Painter is one of my favorites (this is his official page but you can get them elsewhere for cheaper too).
Art resource blogs with good tagging systems: @artist-refs , @help-me-draw , @helpfulharrie , @art-res , @drawingden , & @how-to-art
Lastly, I suggest if you find something you like online for free, SAVE IT! Whether it is through the Wayback Machine, screenshotting a whole webpage, reblogging/retweeting something, or putting it on pinterest, digital media is fickle and tends to go up in smoke when you least expect it. I have a partially organized Pinterest board that helped me find most of the stuff I wanted to keep. Figure out what works for you and save what you can.

Green
F!Reader X Strade
Really original name for this one, major kudos to me for that one. B)
Here’s another little Strade thing. I remember reading somewhere on Gato’s blog that his fav color is green so this was born from that. I honestly may have made that up in my head though so if I did just pretend it’s true. :)
Anyway, it’s just another little ficlet while I work on some little stuff. I hope you all enjoy and thank you, as always, for reading. (。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
THIS IS 18+ ONLY PLEASE!!!
Warnings: Mentions of noncon, torture, abuse, (briefly) suicide, and imprisonment.
Tumblr media
Green was your favorite color.
You can’t really remember what originally attracted you to it, whether it was that you genuinely enjoyed the shade or if you were just trying to be cool and not pick a color that was overly ‘girly’. But after years of placing it on a pedestal, dubbing it your favorite amongst all other colors, your affection for it had remained solid.
Whenever you bought an item, whether it was something little or an object that was pricier, you always checked to see if it came in green. The walls of your childhood bedroom were coated in the color, and when you moved out on your own and were in charge of your own interior decorating, green was what you chose to paint most of the rooms.  You adorned yourself in it, green being the prominent color in your wardrobe and jewelry collection. Sweaters, dresses, pants- at least one of each came in green. Even a vast array of your makeup was dedicated to the color, matching perfectly with whatever outfit you donned yourself in should you feel the urge to get a little more gussied up.
And on the night you met Strade green was one of the first things you talked about.
After he introduced himself you complimented his shirt. Or at least that’s how you remember it, the night itself had become a bit of a blur. You were shy by nature and not used to people ambling up to you for conversation, let alone at a bar (someplace you only went because you were meeting up with friends and just happened to arrive the earliest). You awkwardly tripped over your words, flustered by the man who had welcomed himself so easily into your space, taking the seat across from you so naturally it was as if he was the friend you had been waiting for.
After a preliminary exchanging of greetings and light pleasantries, an uncomfortable silence lingered between the two of you. He seemed perfectly content just being in your presence, sipping his beer with a twinkle in his eye as he watched you fidget and squirm through the forced interaction. You must have checked your phone at least a hundred times in hopes of an update, grimacing when one finally arrived in the form of a text stating your friends were stuck in traffic and probably wouldn’t be at the bar for at least another thirty minutes.
Your new companion’s unwavering stare coupled with the suffocating and boisterous atmosphere of the bar was starting to do a number on you. You contemplated hiding in the bathroom, but you weren’t too keen on sitting in a dimly lit, poorly maintained stall for a half hour while you waited on your friends. And if you dipped in there for a little bit just to find some reprieve, you’d still be facing the same situation when you came back out.
So mustering your courage, you decided to try and take some initiative in an attempt to make things a little less awkward.
“Um, I like your shirt,” you spoke just loud enough that he could hear you over the noise of the other patrons.  Though you were overcome with nerves, you figured it best to lead a conversation with a compliment. Who doesn’t like to receive praise, even for something as trivial as a garment? “It’s a nice color, green is my favorite.”
Instant embarrassment caused your cheeks to flush. The words sounded a lot less childish in your head, and you chided yourself over how silly it sounded as soon as they left your lips. What kind of adult starts a conversation at a bar by talking about their favorite color? What were you, five?
But he laughed warmly, genuinely pleased by your comment, dispelling all feelings of bashfulness. At the time you liked the way his laugh sounded, warm and inviting as it fooled you into thinking that maybe he actually could become your friend.
“Thanks, and good choice,” he shot you a lopsided smile, raising his half-full mug to you. “Green’s my favorite, too.”
It was funny in a tragic sort of way, how something that you used to enjoy so much now just filled you with cold, deep, dread.
Now you could only associate green with pain. Green reminded you of his arms, constricting and choking you, squeezing you within an inch of your life as he dragged you away from the last semblance of normalcy you’d ever experience. Green reminded you of his chest, smothering you, muffling your screams as he tested out his newest weapon on you- the green handle of his knife getting stained with red splatters, your blood coating it as he carved into you with reckless abandon.
Green reminded you of the carpet in his bedroom, where he would hold you down after he finished brutalizing some poor soul in his basement, still high off his kill as he fucked you long and hard, getting off to your cries of pain as he spilled himself deep inside of you. Green reminded you of the bedsheets you would snatch off his bed, cocooning them around your body for a false sense of security, creating a flimsy shield against the rest of the world. Every night when you fell asleep nestled inside of them, Strade not far from your side, you wondered if one day he may use them to strangle you. You wondered if maybe that would be for the best, if you just never woke up again.
Green used to be yours, a color that loved ones and friends used to associate with you.  A color you used to look at and see yourself in. A color that used to bring you joy.
Now all it reminded you of was Strade and just how much of yourself you had lost to him.

KIᒪᒪEᖇᑕOOK - ᑕᕼᗩᑭTEᖇ 3
Welcome to Raven's Reading Nook - a small corner of this blog dedicated to cozy story times. Join us in the family room as we sit around and browse our phones, and eat some Girl Scout cookies as we begin tonight's story. Rated Mature for language.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NEW ALERT – LIVE VIDEO: KillerCook ~ 420 joint sesh
You fumble to press play on your screen device. It’s your favorite time of the day! A new KillerCook upload. The sound of laughter fills your ears as you see KillerCook, PunkNeverDied69, Scream_Maim_Fire, and FlamingHot420 sitting on bean bags in the kitchen. They were passing around an item that was censored but the smoke in the air and the date was enough to determine what was happening. You sigh, you only wish you could share something that touched their lips.
“Hey guys, KillerCook and the Crew here for a new kind of format. We had some 420 friendly goodies pre-prepared for quality assurance review but uhhh… during our preliminary taste test we got overzealous and uhhh well now we’re baked! So instead, I’ll post the recipes real quick for you and pin them to the top. Then we’ll be reading aloud some questions you all have had and top comments that made us chuckle.”
The others laughed in the background, waving multiple bakes goods and censored items in the air. They all looked zoned out and relaxed. KillerCook was without his apron or hair net but he still looked damn good in his jeans and tight-fitting shirt. PunkNeverDied69 was wearing loose joggers and a half-cropped band shirt with ripped sleeves and safety pins tucked on the collar; you were absolutely not drooling in private as you ogled his bare abs. Scream_Maim_Fire was wearing a dark hoodie vest, showing off muscular arms, but his long legs remained a mystery hidden behind sweatpants. FlamingHot420 looked the most bake compared to all of them. His eyes were hazy and red, his face pretty flushed and his head sort of lolled in agreement even in the silent moments. He was cute looking in his basketball shorts and jersey, his gorgeous blue locks pulled backwards in a bun.
A ping on your phone goes off and you see that KillerCook posted the recipes to the message board. The first was a recipe for cannabutter. The same cannabutter that was listed in the THC cookie recipe – a recipe for cream filled mini-cookie sandwiches. You took screenshots of the recipes to try out for yourself later.
KillerCook presented to the camera a cold butter dish filled with an almost amber looking block of what you presumed was the cannabutter.
“It does smell a bit strong of TCH but just use a tight-seal cover and it won’t be an issue,” he explained.
Then he presented a platter of the aforementioned cream-filled mini-cookie sandwiches. The cookies themselves were cinnamon cream cheese and the frosting in the center was vanilla. Both infused with the cannabutter making it a higher dosage of edible than the typical standard.
“Anyways, Heat complained they weren’t hitting fast enough. Four cookies an hour and a half later and he was zonked out. He had two more cookies before we went live and now we have this,” KillerCook pointed to the blue haired man.
“Four now,” Heat giggled as he popped another cookie in his mouth.
“Jesus Christ man, don’t forget to drink water.”
KillerCook himself did not eat any cookies but he did smoke out of a hilariously long pipe. Like Gandalf the Grey once had.
“Puff puff, so sorry I can’t do my normal baking and flexing routing but we thought we could still enjoy the holiday for a little bit with your favorite fans. We’ll be opening the reward tiers to questions and comments for 10 minutes and the highly voted ones will be chosen to be read aloud. They can be addressed to anyone in this group. We won’t answer any highly inappropriate ones so don’t waste your coins on those – or do, I get paid either way!” He smoked and explained.
Kid finished his turn with the joint before taking over. “For now, we’re going to go through some questions we’ve received in the past that we want to answer. If a top message gets answered by any of these questions, another message has an opportunity gets chosen. Since today is a national holiday of which we highly enjoy partaking in, today’s live is only 30 minutes before we dip.”
Wire held out an index card, the side that faced the camera was a question mark. Must be a question.
“’Where are you guys from or where did you meet to create your crew?’ Well, we’re from Scotland, a long way from where we are now. We were tired of being considered a part of the Royal British Empire” Wire said in near disgust, “So we said fuck it, traveled around by ship for a few years doing trade and shit before we decided to steady our legs and start anew.” He popped a creamy cookie in his mouth.
Kid held up the next card, the icon facing the camera had an action bubble. “ThePigeonsAreSpies asks, ‘do you guys work out a lot or are you lot just genetically blessed with mass?’” He snorts at that. “We work out a lot. And play sports in our free time too. We’ve been known to enjoy football, rugby, hockey, shit basketball even. You get in what you put in when you work out. Want results? Do the fucking work.”
Heat picked the final index card after 10 minutes went by, “Final question! This is open to everyone. ‘Do you guys have any ‘special someones’ in your lives?’” Heat’s face flushed almost as red as his eyes were. “Uhhh that’s pretty personal, not sure how comfortable anyone wants to answer tha—”
“Single,” Killer, Kid and Wire immediately answered.
Heat sighed, “Single.”
A timer went off signaling time was up for the submissions and voting. Killer pulled out a separate Ipad and began scrolling through the message board as he smoked his pipe.
“M’kay got a couple of good ones here and I’m deleting the repeat ones now to get ‘em out of the way. Ok, I’ll lead this round of messages and then we’ll wrap it up. RippedBongGoBrrrrsays, ‘If you guys create a workout channel I’d subscribe to it. Or any meal prep plans/boxes you sell. I want to give you all my money.’” Killer chuckled as he smoked. “Appreciate the offer, we’ll put it in a box of ideas to explore later. Keep the ideas coming – we love easy work and fast money.”
Kid chewed on a cookie as he chose a message to read. “HopelessRomantic asks, ‘What would you consider a perfect date? Question open for all,’ For me, something lowkey and fun. Going to a bar or movie, maybe mini golf or some shit. Too many bullshit expectations put on a ‘first date,’ just go out and have fun for fucks sake.”
“For me I think a perfect date is eating at a good restaurant and then a follow up to unwind. I agree that first dates have too much pressure on them but I also want the opportunity to learn about my date and dinner is the perfect time to do that. Movie or something fun after is a great follow up,” Killer mused.
Heat perked up, “For me, I’d want to do something outside the box. Let’s go to a skate park or a beach bonfire for our first date. Something chill and laid back.”
Wire lifted his joint with a shrug, “Don’t really have a preference. If I get lucky at the end of the night, I’d call that a perfect ending.”
The group laughed and continued answering messages. At one point they took a bathroom break and Heat pulled out his guitar and sang a song. Something from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The minutes burned and you grip your phone tightly, wondering if they’d get to your message. You were surprised at the number of votes it got, but then again you did pay a hefty sum to boost your message for more people to see it. As the final minute ticked down—
“Alright we’re going to wrap this Live up with one more question. I’m going to pick at complete random by covering Kid’s face and letting his finger pick the message.”
Killer stood up and kneeled behind Kid, holding the screen in front of the redhead as he puffed his joint. A purple nail painted hand covered the beautiful amber eyes as Kid lolled his finger around in anticipation before jamming it down on the screen.
Killer sat back down in the beanbag and took another puff from his pipe before turning it upside down on the 420 organizer tray.
Tumblr media
“The final message comes from WishUpon11:11 says, ‘I don’t offer much except adoration. You guys are so fucking cool and look so fun to hang out with. You seem to have a close friendship with each other and with your other crewmates and it makes me wish I could be a part of a group like that. I love you all and wish you nothing but continued success and happiness. If I can ask a question on my already long comment, can you tell us about that girl in the framed photo on the refrigerator?”
The men took on a somber look that replaced their relaxed and content faces from the initial praise. They all turned to look at the picture. From the camera stand it wasn’t a close angle but even from its placement you could clearly see a much younger Kid, Killer, and a young woman between them. The two friends exchanged a look before Kid gave a meek nod and took a long drag of his joint.
Sighing, “That was our close friend from childhood. She is no longer with us, having passed back in Scotland under an unfortunate circumstance. Part of the reason we left that place behind. We don’t like to talk about it and this isn’t the place for it either but I will say this – cherish the people closest to you. You never know how much time you have with someone.”
Kid gave a stiff nod and held out his joint, “To Victoria!” he barked.
“To Victoria,” the others lit up new joints and tilted them to the air before they all took a deep drag.
Killer clapped his hands, “On that note, it’s time to wrap this party up. Thanks for hanging out with us and sending us all your messages. This has been Faffaffaffa-Food with Killer.”
Live ended.

Keto Food – The Best and Worst Foods to Eat on a Keto Diet
Tumblr media
Keto has become one of the hottest diets in recent years, and for good reason! The keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat way of eating that has been proven to be incredibly effective for weight loss and better overall health. However, knowing what foods to eat on a keto diet is essential for success, and that’s why it’s important to understand the best and worst keto food options. In this blog post, we’ll look at which foods are best to include in your diet, as well as which ones to avoid.
The best foods to eat on a keto diet If you’re looking to make your weight loss goals a reality, then switching to a keto diet is a great choice. Keto eating habits can help you reach those goals faster, and help you to maintain them for the long run. When it comes to the best food choices for a keto diet, there are some tasty and healthy options out there that won’t have you feeling like you’re missing out on all the good stuff.
Here’s a list of some of the best foods to eat on a keto diet: Fruits – Berries are generally a great option, as they are low in carbohydrates. Apples and pears should also be avoided due to their high sugar content. Meat – Meat is an excellent source of protein, and it can also help with satiety. Make sure to choose lean meats and stay away from processed or pre-packaged options.
Vegetables – Vegetables are one of the best sources of nutrients, and they are also low in carbs. Leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes are all great choices. Family-friendly Food – There are plenty of keto-friendly recipes out there that the whole family can enjoy. Look for dishes that use more vegetables than grains and sugar-filled items. No matter what type of food you’re looking for, there are plenty of tasty keto-friendly options out there. With a bit of planning and dedication, you can make this way of eating into a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.
The worst foods to eat on a keto diet When following a ketogenic diet, there are certain foods that should be avoided. While most carbohydrates should be minimized, it is important to be aware of which carbs should be eliminated.
Sugary products such as candy, cakes, ice cream, and soda are all high in simple carbohydrates and should be avoided. Additionally, alcohol should be minimized on a keto diet as it is high in carbohydrates and calories. Alcohol can also impair weight loss progress and cause dehydration. To maximize your success on a keto diet, minimize these unhealthy carb sources.
How to make the best food choices for a keto diet When it comes to eating for a keto diet, making the right food choices is key to achieving and maintaining your desired weight loss goals. Eating a diet rich in healthy fats, proteins, and low-carb vegetables will ensure you remain healthy and energized throughout the day. Here are some tips on how to make the best food choices for a keto diet:
Choose Healthy Fats: Healthy fats are an essential part of a successful keto diet. Choose healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, avocados, fatty fish, and coconut oil to get the most out of your meal plan. Eat High Quality Proteins: Protein is another important part of a ketogenic diet. Eating high quality proteins such as grass-fed beef, poultry, and eggs will help you stay full and satisfied for longer periods of time.

My #1 post of 2022
Shoutout to my fellow plus-size people!
If you're feeling like you don't know where to shop, or what sort of places you can buy from, or if you just want to try some new places, I have some suggestions and shops that I have found work for me:
1. Pennington's - This is a chain store. It offers sizes 14-32 (x-5x); and it's pretty good for business casual. They offer everything you would find in a more "straight-sized" store, and have several different models with different body sizes and shapes to display their items online. The clothes are made to fit comfortably and the entire experience, I find, is nice because I know I will find clothes I enjoy that actually fit me. They also take into account the difference between "regular", "tall", and "petite"; which is wonderful because not all of us are the same. Check out the sizing chart and measurement guide here. Also, budget accordingly; this place can be a bit pricey, and I try to take advantage of the sales when I go.
2. store.mayakern.com (@mayakern on tumblr) - Maya Kern's store is an independent business and has given me a lot of joy and hope for online shopping. The skirts are all designed by Maya, with some exceptions being the ones that are collaborated on with other artists. All the designs are incredibly unique and very beautiful. I get so many compliments whenever I wear them!! They have wonderful large pockets that don't impede the design or silhouette at all, and they are so incredibly comfortable. I will praise these skirts all my days. Seriously, if you enjoy comfortable skirts with a unique design, give this shop a try! There is a specific sizing chart for the shop, since the skirts have a stretchy waist. The sizes available cover from a 25 inch (64cm) waist to a 66 inch (167cm) waist. Plus, there are lots of other cool items listed in-store, such as pins and journals! Be sure to pay attention to when pre-orders are if you want to order a skirt!
3. Fresh Hot Flavors - This is another store with some very cool items! Skirts, pants, shirts, shorts, and more, all with different and unique designs. They also have an entire line dedicated to Pride; their Pixel Pride Collection. Make sure to measure yourself and take a look at their sizing chart; the store covers size xxs to 6x. I ordered a couple of skirts from this store and they are very comfortable and beautiful!!
4. Witch Bitch Thrift - A thrift store that is run by and marketed to witches! Thrifting is a great way to save money and be eco-friendly. They offer images of their selection online and I've seen sizes ranging from 6x to small. It's been a long time since I found a thrift store with items I admired in my size. Definitely worth it to give this shop a look! They have online shopping and ship items worldwide, so don't worry about location! The store even offers a virtual styling session that customers can book. Clothes aren't the only thing this store offers; they also have a selection of witchy supplies!
Feel free to add other suggestions; please do not use this post as a ground for arguing about which stores you like or dislike.
Non-plus-sized people, please feel free to reblog this to signal boost it to any plus-size followers/friends you may have who might be interested!

Situations that altered my brain chemistry :
My brother bullying me for years when I was a perfectly healthy weight about my body. He doesn't do it anymore but i still have an ed.
At my heaviest, my mum saying "if you get any bigger you won't be able to get out of bed"
Binging three slices of chocolate cake and throwing it all back up
Seeing that one girl in my class for the first time,,,, the definition of a petite goth
As an extension, seeing how her boyfriend picks her up so effortlessly
Watching my conventionally attractive goth classmate talk about how many men hit on her
That time a few years ago my old friend saw me buying snacks at the shop and said "damn are you buying the whole shop?". I never buy more than like,, 2 food items from a shop now.
Listening to my relatives gossip about my older sibling when they were in the depths of their ed
That time an old man sat next to me at the bus stop and began talking about his weight and fat people. He followed with, "Some people look disgusting like that. No offense."
That time I got called a "fat green sonic" by a complete stranger in the street. I have neon green hair.
Another pro ana blog saying "how did you let yourself get that big? ". Went on their blog and they were posting about doing meth, so,,,,
The comments under Jason Underwoods tiktoks (they are a model with lympthodema)
Noticing how not a single person has ever shown a lick of interest in me, especially after getting fat.
Going to an alternative shop with a classmate and she couldn't buy any skirts because the XS was too big on her.
Having to buy my trousers at a dedicated plus sized shop.
In a group chat my old friends had with me, we all shared our nudes. I was the fattest one in the group. I felt humiliated after seeing the skinny goths nudes,,,,
The way my mum genuinely loves me more now that I've lost weight
The way my conventionally attractive classmates mental illnesses are romanticised and sexualised, whereas I was cut off completely when I displayed the exact same symptoms and behaviours.

5 Effective Ways To Sell Your Old Phones And Make Cash!
Are you tired of your old phone collecting dust in a drawer? Don’t let it go to waste! Selling your old phones helps declutter your home and puts some extra cash in your pocket. With the ever-evolving world of technology, someone is always looking for a deal on a pre-owned device. This blog post will explore five effective ways to sell your old phones and make some quick cash. So grab that dusty smartphone and get ready to turn it into cold, hard money!
The importance of selling old phones
In today’s fast-paced world, technology is constantly advancing. That shiny new smartphone you bought just a few months ago may already be outdated. So why let it sit around and gather dust when you can sell it and make money? Selling your old phones not only helps to recoup some of the cost of your new device but also has several other benefits.
Selling your old phone is an environmentally friendly choice. Electronic waste is a growing concern, with millions of tons in landfills yearly. By selling your phone, you give it a second life and reduce its environmental impact.
Selling old phones allows someone else to enjoy the features and functionalities that once captivated us. Many people need help to afford brand-new devices but still want access to modern technology. By selling your old phone reasonably, you are helping someone else stay connected without breaking the bank.
By decluttering our lives and eliminating unnecessary items like old phones, we create space for new experiences and opportunities. Letting go of things we no longer need allows us to focus on what truly matters while making extra cash.
Online marketplaces for selling phones
Online marketplaces have made selling your old phones easier and earning extra cash. You can list your device for sale with just a few clicks and reach potential buyers worldwide.
One popular online marketplace for selling phones is eBay. This platform allows you to create detailed listings with photos and descriptions of your phone’s condition. You can set your price or even auction off your device to maximize its value. Plus, eBay offers buyer protection policies that provide peace of mind for both parties.
Another option is Swappa, a dedicated marketplace specifically designed for buying and selling used smartphones. Swappa verifies each listing to ensure the devices are fully functional and accurately described. They also provide guidance on pricing based on current market trends, making it easy to set a competitive price.
If you prefer more local options, consider using Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. These platforms allow you to connect with buyers in your area quickly. When creating your listing, include clear photos and detailed information about your phone’s specifications.
Remember to take precautions when selling online, no matter which online marketplace you choose. Always meet potential buyers in safe public locations or use secure payment methods like PayPal to protect yourself from scams.
Utilizing these online marketplaces allows you to quickly sell your old phones while reaching a wide range of potential buyers – turning unwanted devices into cash in no time! So why let those old devices gather dust when they could put money back into your pocket? Start exploring these platforms today!
Trade-in programs with phone carriers
To sum it all up, selling your old phones is a smart financial move and an environmentally responsible choice. By getting rid of outdated devices and opting for newer models, you can stay ahead in the ever-evolving world of technology.
While numerous options are available to sell your old phones, online marketplaces provide a convenient platform to connect with potential buyers from across the globe. These platforms offer a broad reach and allow you to set your price.
Additionally, trade-in programs offered by phone carriers present another viable option for selling your old phones. These programs save you the hassle of finding individual buyers and often provide competitive prices and incentives for purchasing new devices.
Remember to take some time to research and compare different avenues before deciding on where to sell your old phone. Consider factors such as convenience, pricing, and overall ease of transaction. Proper planning and strategy allow you to make cash while decluttering your space!
So why let those unused devices collect dust when they could be turned into cash? Clear out that drawer or shelf today and explore how you can sell your old phones! Happy selling!

Credit Repair Resources To Help Improve Your Credit Score
Tumblr media
Having a good credit score is crucial in today’s society. It determines your eligibility for loans, mortgages, and other financial opportunities. Unfortunately, many people find themselves with poor credit due to various factors, such as late payments, high debt levels, or even identity theft. If you are one of those individuals looking to improve your credit score, you’re in luck. This blog is dedicated to providing valuable credit repair resources that can help you take control of your financial future. Whether you’re looking for tips on disputing errors, managing your debt, or building positive credit habits, you’ll find all the information you need here.
1. Understanding Your Credit Score
Your credit score is a three-digit number that significantly influences your financial life. It’s a snapshot of your creditworthiness, a crucial factor that lenders, landlords, insurers, and potential employers use to assess your financial reliability. Comprehending this numeric representation is pivotal as it empowers you to make informed financial decisions. Your credit score is derived from various factors, including payment history, credit utilization, length of credit history, types of credit, and new credit. In this guide, we delve into the components that shape your credit score, demystify the scoring process, and shed light on the impact of credit scores on your financial journey.
2. Identifying Negative Items on Your Credit Report
Identifying negative items on your credit report can be a daunting task. However, knowing what’s on your report is essential to improve your credit score. Some everyday negative items to look for include late payments, collections, bankruptcies, and foreclosures. It’s important to dispute any errors you find and work on improving your credit by making on-time payments and reducing your debt. Remember, your credit report is a reflection of your financial history and can have a significant impact on your future economic opportunities.
3. Credit Repair Strategies
Navigating the labyrinth of credit repair can be daunting, but armed with the right strategies, you can take control of your financial narrative. A robust credit score is not merely a number; it’s a gateway to favorable interest rates, enhanced borrowing power, and more significant economic opportunities. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into a myriad of effective credit repair strategies, ranging from DIY techniques such as negotiating with creditors and disputing inaccuracies to the nuanced realm of working with reputable credit repair companies. Unpacking legal rights, exploring credit counseling, and fostering responsible credit habits, we empower you to embark on a transformative journey toward credit score enhancement.
Here are some credit repair strategies:
Do-It-Yourself (DIY) approaches
Working with Credit Repair Companies
Legal rights and protections (Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act)
4. Utilizing Credit Counseling and Financial Education
If you’re struggling with debt or have multiple negative items on your credit report, seeking credit counseling and financial education may be beneficial. These services can provide you with personalized guidance and resources to help you improve your financial situation. Credit counselors can work with you to create a debt management plan and negotiate with creditors on your behalf. Economic education classes can also teach you valuable budgeting, saving, and investing skills. These resources can help you get back on track and achieve financial stability.
5. Managing Credit Wisely
Managing credit wisely is essential for anyone who wants to maintain financial stability and achieve their financial goals. One of the best ways to manage credit is to avoid too much debt. Understanding the terms and conditions of any credit agreement before signing up for it is essential. Another critical factor in managing credit is to make payments on time. Late payments can damage your credit score and make it harder to obtain credit in the future. Finally, checking your credit report regularly is essential to ensure all the information is correct. Following these tips allows you to manage your credit wisely and achieve financial success.
6. Monitoring Your Progress
Monitoring your progress regularly is essential to ensure that you manage your credit wisely. This includes checking your credit report regularly to provide all the information is accurate and up-to-date. You should also keep track of your credit score to see how it changes over time. If you notice any discrepancies or errors on your credit report, you should take steps to correct them as soon as possible. By monitoring your progress and adjusting as needed, you can continue to manage your credit wisely and achieve your financial goals.

What You Can Find in a Works Counseling Center Office
Tumblr media
Therapy is a wonderful thing to utilize and can be such a safe experience, but starting therapy can be scary. Not only is looking for a therapist difficult, but the firsts can always be uncomfortable, no matter how good the thing we are starting can be. In this blog, I want to share what you can find in a Works Counseling Center Office. I want to show you what you might find and share what you can expect and use to bring comfort as you get to know your new therapist.
Tumblr media
Therapy is a wonderful thing to utilize and can be such a safe experience, but starting therapy can be scary. Not only is looking for a therapist difficult, but the firsts can always be uncomfortable, no matter how good the thing we are starting can be. In this blog, I want to share what you can find in a Works Counseling Center Office. I want to show you what you might find and share what you can expect and use to bring comfort as you get to know your new therapist.
Tumblr media
Once you are checked in, and your therapist has brought you back into the therapy office, there are many things in the room that can help you feel comfortable. Now, no two offices are the same, but there are a number of comfort objects in each therapy office that are yours to use when in the session. The first, and my personal favorite, is the blanket. Almost every office has at least two blankets. While we don’t supply weighted blankets, these blankets can offer comfort if the room is too cold, or just having something in your hands and lap can also be a comfort.
Tumblr media
Not only do we have comfort objects, but we also have sensory objects. For this blog, we will call it our fidget toy box. Every room should have a fidget toy box stocked with different sensory toys that fit your sensory needs. A few examples could be stress balls, thinking putty, bendy sticks, fidget cubes, and many more. Each box has several different toys, and you are welcome to use them at any time in a session. My personal favorites are the stress balls and fidget cubes.
Tumblr media
Another exciting find in the offices at Works Counseling Center is a bowl of candy. The bowl will always be stocked and you can pick a sweet treat anytime. You can choose from many candies—everything for our chocolate lovers, sweet tooth, and even sour fixations. Candy may not always have a therapeutic purpose, but it makes the space more welcoming and allows for a treat you may need.
Tumblr media
The last two things I want to share in this blog are only in some offices. These two items are special items utilized in specific offices or based on the therapist’s preference. The first I’ll share is scented candles. Only some therapists use scented candles, so only some offices will have them. While we utilize scented candles, let the therapist know if you have olfactory sensitivities, and we will not light these candles during your sessions.
Tumblr media
The last thing you will find in one of our offices is in our sand tray room. In this room, a wall is dedicated to the figurines used in this form of therapy. Sand Tray is a form of play therapy that is utilized to help clients process in a different method than talk therapy. Not every therapist uses this form of therapy, but it is held and kept in one of our offices. So, if you find yourself in this office, you may find some awesome figurines keeping you company while in session.
I hope you enjoyed this little walk through our offices and find some comfort in knowing what you may find in the therapy room ahead of time. Therapy is a place for you to heal and explore. Here at Works Counseling Center, we strive to create a safe space for you to do the work needed in therapy.

  Biohacking is the process of using science and technology to manipulate your body’s biological processes. This can be done through a variety of methods, including lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, nutritional supplements, exercise, and more. Many proponents of biohacking believe that it can help to optimize health and performance.   From an ethical standpoint, biohacking is generally accepted as long as you maintain control over your body and don’t put yourself at risk for harm. It’s important to understand the risks associated with certain biohacking techniques before attempting them on yourself or others.   One way to learn how to hack biohacking is by attending conferences and workshops focused on this topic. These events are often held by biohackers and experts in the field who can provide valuable insight on how to safely and effectively use various methods. You may also find online resources such as blogs, podcasts, and ebooks dedicated to this topic.   Another way to learn about biohacking is through personal experimentation. This could include anything from supplementing with vitamins or minerals to experimenting with different diets or exercise routines. However, it’s important to be mindful of any potential risks involved with these activities before engaging in them.   Finally, there are numerous books available that detail the science behind biohacking and offer practical advice on how to successfully implement changes into your lifestyle. Taking the time to read up on biohacking can help you understand the science behind these techniques and make more informed decisions when it comes to your health.   By taking the time to learn about biohacking, you can empower yourself to take control of your own body and optimize its performance. Whether through attending conferences, experimenting, or reading books – there are plenty of ways to become a savvy biohacker!   10 Essential Health Fundamentals That Any Biohacker Can Master        1.  Eat Real Foods Eating real foods are essential for proper health and maintenance. Opt for whole, unprocessed, nutrient–rich items such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, lean proteins (fish/seafood), healthy fats (coconut oil/olive oil), and some complex carbs (quinoa/brown rice). Avoid processed and refined foods to get the most out of your biohack! Additionally, pay attention to food sensitivities and allergies; these can greatly impact overall health if not monitored properly.        2.  Exercise Regularly Exercise is a key element in any biohacking plan; it helps increase energy levels by promoting the circulation of oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. Engage in some form of physical activity each day, whether it’s low-intensity walking or more intense exercise such as resistance training or high-intensity interval training (HIIT).         3.  Get Quality Sleep Sleep is a crucial part of any biohacking plan; not getting enough rest can take a toll on your overall health and performance. Aim to get 7–8 hours of quality sleep every night by following a regular bedtime routine and avoiding screens at least an hour before bedtime. Additionally, you may want to consider supplementing with melatonin if necessary to help promote better sleep habits.        4.  Invest In Mental Health  Mental health is just as important as physical health; take time for yourself each day to practice mindfulness or meditation, journal your thoughts and feelings, or do something creative. A healthy mindset is essential for successful biohacking!        5.  Supplement Smartly Supplements can be a great addition to any health plan; however, it’s important to research and consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating them into your routine. Some popular supplements among biohackers include omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil), probiotics, magne
sium, and adaptogens such as ashwagandha or Rhodiola rosea.        6.  Manage Stress Stress management is an important part of the biohacking journey; too much stress can take a toll on both physical and mental health. Incorporate some relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or yoga into your daily routine to help cope with stress in a healthy way.        7.  Drink Plenty Of Water Staying hydrated is essential for proper health and maintenance; aim to drink 8–10 glasses of water throughout the day to keep your body functioning optimally. You may also want to consider adding electrolytes such as magnesium, sodium, and potassium for optimal hydration levels.        8.  Reduce Toxins Minimizing our exposure to toxins is an important part of any wellness plan; try limiting alcohol consumption and avoiding smoking/vaping if possible. Additionally, look for natural household cleaning products that don’t contain harsh chemicals and opt for organic personal care items when possible.        9.  Connect With Nature Connecting with nature is a great way to relax and recharge; take some time each day to get outside and enjoy the fresh air, sunshine, and greenery. Whether it’s just a quick walk around your neighborhood or pitching a tent for an overnight camping trip, spending time in the outdoors can do wonders for your health!        10.  Track Your Progress Finally, tracking your progress should be part of any biohacking routine; use apps or journals to regularly document changes in your physical health (weight/body composition), mental well-being (mood/energy levels), and lifestyle habits (diet/exercise). This will help you identify areas where you may need to make adjustments as well as keep you motivated and on track with your biohacking journey.     By following these tips, you can be sure to get the most out of your biohack and take your wellness to the next level!   Conclusion   The key to being successful as a biohacker is understanding the fundamentals of health and wellness. By mastering these 10 essential health fundamentals, anyone can become an effective biohacker who knows how to optimize their physical and mental performance for maximum success. Eating well, exercising regularly, getting adequate sleep, managing stress, and tracking your progress are just some of the methods that should be part of any successful biohacking plan.   With enough dedication and effort, you can make significant changes in your life through biohacking. So start today by learning these essential health fundamentals and begin your journey towards better health!

Types of Websites
Different Types of Websites
A website is a collection of interlinked web pages with a common domain name. The website can be made by any individual, group, or company. All the websites together constitute the world wide web. The website can be of several types, like an e-commerce website, social media website, or a blog website, and every website has a different role, but one thing is common that every website has several linked web pages.
You can create a random website where on the first page you can add a picture of your favorite dish and link that page to another web page where you can add or write about yourself. Initially, the structure of a web page was made using  HTML, a hypertext markup language. The domain name categorizes the types of websites: commercial websites used .com extension and non-profit organization used .org extension.
Blog websites
A blog is a website where people share information, ideas, and views. It is a place where you can express your vision and your thoughts to the world. Earlier, blogs were used as a journal, but now they are becoming one of the important mass communication tools where people get to know about new things. WordPress and Google blogger are famous blogging sites where you can write articles. Blogs include a travel blog, news blog, cooking blog, etc.
E-commerce website
This website is a place for online shopping where a person can buy or sell a product. Amazon, Flipkart, and Olx are some of the examples of an E-commerce website. E-commerce has a lot of potentials to grow as nowadays, people tend to shop online because of their hectic life.
Educational Websites
Education websites include websites of colleges and schools and tuitions. The new normal has changed the structure of educational institutions. Nowadays, people are learning through online classes and the demands of educational websites also grow. As people want to learn more than their college and schools. So there are platforms like Coursera, GeeksforGeeks where people are learning more than their college and school.
Entertainment Website
Entertainment sites contain consistently refreshed substance on current undertakings, climate, sports and amusement. News destinations like CNN and entertainment biggies like ELLE both fall into this classification. The content on media locales is dynamic, which means it’s refreshed normally. Enormous media locales will distribute numerous articles and recordings each and every day. The majority of these sites do mean to make cash like business and e-commerce sites do, yet for the most part through the ads that appear on the page as opposed to through selling explicit items or services.
Web Portals
Online interfaces or Web Portals are sites intended for internal purposes at a business, association or an organisation. They gather data in various configurations from various sources into one spot to make all crucial data open to the individuals who need to see it. They frequently include a login and customised views for various users that guarantee the data that is open is generally helpful to their specific needs. Web Portals can be efficiently created using either Joomla or Drupal as they both have the plugins required to develop a web portal using various modules and components.
Construction websites
These websites are designed for construction companies to showcase their services, projects, expertise, and team. They often include information about the company’s history, portfolio, client testimonials, and contact details. Trade associations in the construction field often have websites to promote their organization, provide industry resources, advocate for their members, and offer networking opportunities. These sites may include membership information, events calendars, educational resources, and industry reports.
Grocery websites
Many grocery store chains have their own dedicated websites to provide information about their stores, products, promotions, and services. These websites often include features like store locators, weekly specials, digital coupons, and online ordering for in-store pickup or delivery. When creating content for a grocery website, it’s important to provide useful and engaging information to attract and retain customers. Here are some ideas for content that you can include on your grocery website
Forum websites
Like social media websites, online forums don’t necessarily provide content, but rather a space for users to share their own content with each other. Like the historical forums they get their name from, online forums are a place for strangers to meet and discuss their interests, as well as share helpful content like links.
If you’re designing a forum, your first goal is to create an organized navigational system to host and find different discussion boards. Some forums create discussion boards themselves, while others allow the users to do it themselves. Either way, you want to make it as easy as possible for users to find what they’re looking for.
Business websites
The fact of the matter is that every 21st-century business should have a website. It’s becoming a popular practice that the first step a person takes to learn about a business is checking out their website. For businesses offering new or unique services, a business website provides the opportunity to explain what they do; for traditional businesses, it’s a chance to ease people’s apprehension and verify that the company is legitimate.
A good business website presents all the essential information about a company, not only the fundamentals like an address or contact information, but also extra information like short staff bios or a mission statement. The idea is to get people familiar with your company and, in that process, enthusiastic about working with you.
Conclusion
With the above mentions types of websites, we hope that you would’ve gained vivid information about the same, which would help you choose the right one for your business. As should be obvious, with the current technological development, it’s workable for pretty much anybody to construct any kind of site. The key is calculating your site prerequisites and arranging them according to a device with which you feel good.

HOW TO GET NUTRITIOUS SOURCED FOOD WITH NATURES WAREHOUSE CEO DANIEL LAUDON from THE EMBC TV NETWORK on Vimeo.
Empowering people to live health-conscious lives. In a world where no one wants to be accountable. I’m writing this to call out people to at least be responsible for their own health. No one will care for you and your loved ones like you do! I believe you can control your own health. This year has brought extra challenges. No matter what you think or where you stand, the constant onslaught of information about coronavirus is overwhelming. Contradicting opinions and flip-flopping from various health authorities about how to protect yourself has shaken me as I believe it has for many of you. On top of Covid another impacting health concern has been Cancer. Two of my close friends have family members battling the disease. Forcing them to make decisions with their loved ones that none of us ever want to make. What voice do you listen to in times like these? Do doctors really know? Can you trust your doctor?! Do scientists have the answers? These are all powerful questions. In the past I have encouraged people to ask themselves these questions, but now people are asking me on their own. Questioning it all is one of the most important things you can do in this life. I don't seek to answer these questions. I am committing my life to help those who are truly dedicated, find these answers through two simple steps; #1 I will bring together experts—surround you with people that I trust and have helped my family as well as myself answer these questions. #2 Trust yourself—I will encourage and teach you to listen to your body, to make the choice to give it what it really needs. 50 years ago, my mother made choices on how she was going to live and raise me, along with my siblings. I want you to do the same. Never trusting until you've studied and never acting until you've listened to your body. Raising the unpopular flag once again in a haze of confusion where healthcare has become nothing but big business, you can live healthily without fear! This belief prompted my mother to start this business. A place where you can get items that she herself approves and uses. Where you can find us… Our quarterly catalogs are a great source of information. They include articles about health and nutrition from different sources, product information, recipes and more. They also contain a variety of extremely healthy foods and supplements. On our website you can connect to our blogs-where we post articles along with healthy suggestions, you can meet our team and learn the Laudon's story. Our Call Center has 15 highly trained attendants. They know our products, they are regularly counseled by herbalists and supplement suppliers to know what products to suggest for most commonly faced health issues. Our company herbalists and family herbalists. We have on staff herbalists who have been practicing for over 20 years for more advanced issues. Our Facebook Instagram and Twitter where you can find helpful ideas, pointers, and recipes. natureswarehouse.net/
