Migrelief: Natural help for Migraines


I have suffered from migraines since I was 12 years old. Seems to be hereditary because my mother and grandmother both suffered from them as well and now my oldest has them.


I've been on a lot of meds over the years to stop - or at least dull the pain but nothing has ever worked at least not for long.


The past year I was put on beta blockers to help. At first those worked then they just made me dizzy and tired while I was still in an immense amount of pain.


Then I found out about Migrelief.


I contacted them to see if I could sample their products- a sort of test run before purchasing to see if they actually worked.


Migrelief isn't pain medicine or prescription it's all natural vitamins and herbs, it contains:


Magnesium (citrate and oxide)
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
Puracol™ Feverfew (proprietary extract + whole leaf)


I had read that Feverfew helped with Migraines but so far had not tried it. I guess I was just doubtfult hat anything would help.


But after trying Migrelief I was surprised...very surprised. Within just a couple days the frequency of my headaches was less. And when I did have one the pain was significantly less as well.


I couldn't believe it.


I felt better. I actually had days that were headache free something that hasn't happened in years.


Wow.


I can't say that Migrelief completely made the headaches go away but nayone who suffers from headaches and migraines knows that less is good. Less is real good. Any relief in the pain is a really, really good thing.


So if you suffer from headaches and migraines you might want to give Migrelief a try. You can use it in addtion to most other migraine medications.

The Friendship Stone: A Gift that Gives Back




10% of profits will go back to Project South Africa helping improve the lives of the villagers from where the stones originate. 20% of all sales from "The Power of Two" gift sets are given to The Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America.

By giving The Friendship Stone to friends and family you are giivng them a symbol of their inner beauty and uniqueness. Like the shining rays that reflect vibrant golden and chocolate brown colors within the stones, everyone has a beautiful light emanating inside us.

It also reminds us to stay positive: as these colors change their appearance as the stone is turned, it reminds us that we can also change our perspective on adversities to find something positive and because it spreads love and support.

Handmade Holidays: Stockings Made from Scrap Fabric


Holiday stockings don’t need to be made from plush furry fabric or rich red velvet. They can be made from any fabric you like that reflects your style, eclectic tastes, or interior decor.


A long time ago I worked for a furniture store. One day they were clearing out all the sample fabric swatches and books that had been discontinued. And what were they going to do with it all?


Toss it in the dumpster. Stacks and stacks of rich, fancy, and fabulous pieces of fabric. All to the trash. I just couldn’t let it happen.

Eco-Stocking Stuffer Alert: Stick a Scandle in the Stocking


Here’s another budget and eco-friendly stocking stuffer: Scandle Body Candles. These amazing candles burn and melt at low temperatures and the candle “wax” can be poured onto the body and used as an oil for massages, spa treatments, manicures and pedicures or just for pure enjoyment at home. And the candles are less than $25 and will fit perfectly in a holiday stocking.

Eco-Stocking Stuffer Alert: The Joy of Soap


The holidays are creeping up faster than any of us would probably like. Before Halloween was even over the stores were already putting up winter holiday displays. As always I try to start early though I hardly ever do. Time just flies by so fast.


But I have been keeping an eye out for great eco-friendly products that are reasonably priced (like $25 and under) that would make great gifts and stocking stuffers.
