Food & Drink Festival Online – Discover new brands

Posted on July 2, 2020November 14, 2024 by Jupiter

As many of the food festivals I normally would attend were cancelled, there became a bunch of new online classes and recipes popping up, but nothing really covered the ability to find new brands, all together in one space, and see what products they have to offer. Some of my favorite food festival memories are walking around castles, viewing new, small businesses that I had never heard of who make the coolest infused oils or rainbow pastas. Richard Reeves was speaking to the founder of Nauteas, Katia Sokolskaya and came up with the idea of a digital event focused on showing off some brands that otherwise wouldn’t be seen this year! I wanted to highlight a few from their Food & Drink Festival Online 2020.

ORGANii Eucalyptus & Citrus Mouthwash | Review

Posted on July 1, 2020August 27, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to dental care, mouthwash was always that one thing that I didn’t ever like the taste of. There are tons of health benefits to using mouthwash after you do brush your teeth, so as someone who doesn’t enjoy many of the default, strange blue colored ones out there, I was interested in trying out ORGANii’s different mouthwashes. They have two flavors; Eucalyptus and Citrus – with Citrus really peaking my interest. As I have been trying to better take care of myself, I found wanted to find a mouthwash that I better liked using.

These mouthwashes are made with aloe vera – a natural anti-fungal and antibacterial plant extract – and are formulated to help protect teeth and gums, as well as prevent plaque and tar build up, and of course fight bad breath and gingivitis. They both boost the creation of collagen, improving the mouth’s ability to heal. These are obviously all huge positives and well worth adding a mouthwash to you tooth brushing routine.

Gener8 – Browser Extension that rewards watching Ads

Posted on June 29, 2020August 27, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When I heard about Gener8 – an extension that pitched itself as being similar to Honey, I was quite interested in checking it out. For those of you who aren’t familiar with browser extensions, they are add on apps to your browser that can do a bunch of different tasks. Honey is one that I use often, as it automatically searches the web and finds discount codes, then uses them to get discounts when online shopping. Gener8 isn’t looking to give you coupons and instead rewards you with virtual currency for watching ads if you use the browsers Chrome or Firefox.

Ads are all over the internet, on virtually every website you see. It does sound strange to get paid to view ads, especially as ads are how other companies do make money on their site. I was honestly very skeptical, but after using the browser for a few weeks now, I think I’ve figured most things out. Gener8 seems to replace ads on websites with their own ads – including putting their logo in the corner. My theory is that they then earn money from these ads, which allows them to give users rewards while still keeping some of the revenue. Personally, I do not know how the split would work for the websites that they are putting their ads on or how any of this works within the backend, but after watching some ads, viewing some sites, and generally using their platform – I had a bunch of their currency.

Benefits of mixing your own massage oil

Posted on June 24, 2020November 14, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] I have back pain. I think it’s a pain most of us can really understand and relate with. When I was young, I was kicked by a horse and have had back pain ever since. One of the best ways to get rid of this back pain is through back massages. Not only do massages feel relaxing and great, but revealing pain is a big part of why I constantly want and enjoy back rubs! If you are a fan of massages, one of the key things to take your massage up to the next level is through using massage oil. I’ve enjoyed a variety of massage oils over time, but found that SOiL has some great options, especially when it comes to mixing your own oil to have the perfect blend for yourself. When it comes to mixing your own massage oil, you need two different oils; a carrier oil and an essential oil.

[Ad- gifted product] Pillowcases are a necessity in every and all houses. They keep your pillows clean and allow you to easily wash the outside of them, as well as look cute on your bed.
