If you look up The Epoch Times on Google, of course you'll read that it is far-right news. It isn't. It is fair reporting-what news should be, but isn't. For example, CNN and MSNBC are hardly fair news, and you won't see a lot of what is happening on those fronts. The Epoch Times has been around from New York City since 2000. Look at it for yourself and judge for yourself. You will see a variety of different articles that you will never see anywhere else. Broaden your minds. Be fair.

I'm a more mature adult woman, in years at least. In one of those cool sample packs of makeup you can buy once in a while, I came across a remarkable product-Boots No. 7 Pore-minimizing Primer. I have large pores. This product worked so well that it made my skin look flawless! The primer doesn't have any color; it just removes flaws from your face. At my age, which is over 60 years old, I just use the primer and maybe face powder. I don't use foundation. But all the flaws are gone with this remarkable product. I've found that the best prices come from their direct website, even though they may be shipped from Pharmaca or another reputable business. Amazon doesn't often carry the pore minimizing primer. Boots No. 7 also carries a lot of premium make-up products, sometimes with free products as a bonus. I recommend their products highly.

I'm way too old to be loving this "ring in a candle" game, but I guess my mind refuses to believe that! I've bought candles with jewelry from just about every site that sells them, but my two favorites are Sterling Candle and Jackpot. Sterling Candles are produced in Canada, but they sell in the USA. Their shipping is $5.95, at least that's what it is for 2 candles. They guarantee that you will get a solid 925 sterling silver ring or necklace valued at $50 to $5,000 in each candle. They include an appraisal code with the jewelry, so you can check what your ring or necklace is supposedly worth. Of course, candle companies get huge discounts on their jewelry, The first 2 candles I purchased from them didn't have as much scent as I would've wanted, but the next two made up for it. Wonderful scent and throw. The candles are soy, and they burn evenly.
I'm including a picture of the two rings I got so far. The peach stone is absolutely gorgeous. The other ring has a stone that shines in the middle, but my phone did not pick it up. These are great candles. They cost around $24.99 each. They last a LONG TIME!

We mature women need lipsticks that are moisturizing, don't feather in those awful little lines that some of us get on our upper lips (thank the good Lord, I don't have them), are not Las Vegas neon bright, and last a while after being applied. Color the World Lipsticks achieve all those goals. This was one website that kept popping up on my iPad that really was a great buy for me. At my age of soon to be (groan) 68 years old, store lipsticks just did not look good on me anymore, Color the World Lipsticks colors ARE for us older women, but they are highly blendable with each other, so that you can get a variety of shades each and every time. They have an instruction blog on how to blend lipsticks on the website, and it did me a world of good. I might have been the only women on earth who didn't realize the wonders of blending.
Look at the reviews for how much these lipsticks are loved. The lipsticks are VEGAN. They come in an earth-friendly lipstick holder. And one of the best features is that for every lipstick sold, CTW contributes to wonderful causes that include: Wounded Warriors, the environment, Rescue Animals, the Ocean, Dolphins, Depression, and many more.
If you write a review, whether good or bad, you get a 25% coupon on your next purchase.
They also have a fantastic day and night moisturizer, which I've purchased and love.
Read their articles, look at the products, consider purchasing. This is a great site. I've purchased about 7 different lipsticks and products and have been completely satisfied.
The phone is of "Flawless" lipstick and my walker.

I found this website when I was about to write a review on Annie Cloth. I wanted to get more information on Annie Cloth. If you check this website out, and YOU SHOULD, you will see why I liked it so much. There is an article here that gives you a fair warning of what online clothes sites to run from and never order from. I ordered from a couple of these places, so I know that she is right! (Zulily and Annie Cloth)
Best of all, she does give clothing sites that she recommends that you DO order from.
We consumers need this kind of help. My iPad is full of ads with clothes that look so good that it's hard not to want to buy them. But will I even get what I order? Probably not, at least not what I thought it would look like. Just read the reviews on "written-with-love.com". And of course, look at the reviews on Sitejabber! We need to protect our wallets, our credit cards, and our data and stay away from websites that try to lure us in by showing pictures of nice clothes that are never sent to us.

After we moved back to Wisconsin from CA after 31 years (to live by family again, NEVER for the weather), I became a patient/client with mainly doctors from ThedaCare, which I believe is a group of providers, clinics and hospitals in the Wisconsin area. Their patient portal or access tool is "MyThedaCare.org". The computer system they use is EPIC. If you see a ThedaCare physician, YOU NEED TO CREATE ACCESS TO THEIR ONLINE PROGRAM which allows you to make or cancel appointments, message your doctors, view your test results, read healthcare articles, pay bills, and much more. Much more includes electronic visits for certain health problems. You will save a lot of time and money by using myThedaCare. I've avoided making appointments by messaging my doctor. I have several health issues, and some of my specialists are not ThedaCare providers. But I'm able to print out my lab and radiology reports for my specialists to see by using the myThedaCare program. This assures continuity of my care.
I generally use it on my iPad. It's also available on my iPhone and on the computer.
Please take advantage of this program or any other provider/insurance access tool that your providers have. It's one way to keep in touch with your own healthcare and to be a real team player in it.

Now I had no idea that some people actually made money and had jobs that involved testing mattresses, sheets, and other bedding so that they could advise us on how to get our best night's sleep! Too bad, because that would've been my dream job, pardon the pun!
I wanted to find out the difference between sateen and percale sheets. So I went online and found this website. For the first time I now have it perfectly clear in my mind what the difference is. These people truly educate you. I think that if you ever have problems falling asleep at night, this would be the ideal website to browse.

I found this website during the short time I was on Pinterest (before I had to stop because I was inundated with emails). Her website caught my eye because she did have easy recipes that could be done quickly and that tasted good. Many of the recipes had an Asian taste to them. She also has a blog, which is very interesting. She also has giveaways which will benefit any cook lucky enough to win them. So out of all the Pinterest sites, hers was the only one I kept!

I was born and raised in Wisconsin, but then I lived in sunny California for 31 years before moving back to Wisconsin to live with family again. California might have Happy Cows, but they don't make good cheese. Believe me, I'm a cheese expert. Wisconsin cows may not be all that happy-after all they live in cloudy, rainy, snowy, humid, buggy weather. But that unhappiness results in fantastic cheese! And Carr Valley Cheese makes the most delicious cheeses available to you wherever you may live, even in California!

I found this website when I was looking up on Google how mollusks taste. I got a hit on spoonuniversity.com that was very interesting. Then I started to look up other info on this site. It is website with articles full of pictures, written by college/university students from all over the world. The main categories are: recipes, drinks, how to, lifestyle, cities, campuses, and community. I read an article by a university student in New Delhi about how to remove grease stains, and it was full of her pictures. Even the ads are cool on this website! I'm 67 years old, but I'm going back to explore more on here. Definitely, if you are a student, you should look up this site. I saw articles on dorm living, for example.

I have chronic pain. Chronic pain is totally different from acute pain, like the pain after surgery or after breaking an arm. It is pain that lasts way beyond the time the initial injury is healed, and different nerve pathways and different chemical neurotransmitters entirely are involved in chronic pain. Chronic pain changes the lives of those who have it and those who love them in ways I can't explain unless you've experienced it. If you have chronic pain or know someone who has it, please check out this website. The website is both professional and personal. It has everything from blogs to professional information to chat rooms to people's stories to topics of interest, treatments, and so on. They do NOT sell items or treatments, so it is an unbiased site.
I am very pleased I found it, and after reviewing what it has to offer, I became a member. Other websites aren't as professional or else they are pharmaceutical sites, therefore, to me, biased.
I highly recommend this website.

I am reading a book based in the 1920's where the protagonist buys college clothes to fit in with university students. So I became interested in how much clothes cost in 1927, and I came upon a blog written by one of the owners of Blue Velvet Vintage. In her blog she shows pictures of herself going to vintage events wearing, of course, vintage clothing, which then led me to their website. What a wonderful website full of vintage clothes and accessories. Currently the company is refocusing on again selling authentic vintage clothes, so they have a sale on their replicant clothes.
The only thing is I wish they had more 1920's Flapper type dresses. They have a lot of 1950's dresses, and I'm not too fond of that style. But it's a great site and the prices are moderate. Check it out if you are a vintage fan!

I became an Avon Representative when I moved to Wisconsin. I have many relatives in WI, so I thought I'd make them all customers. However, upon moving here, I found out that there were already a lot of Avon Reps, and at my age, I didn't want to spend time selling things. However, you can become a Rep for $25 or $40 or more, get a kit full of samples and full sized products AND get a great discount on everything you buy for yourself! And if you want to make money, Avon has such a wide range of products that are easy to sell.
I believe that Avon, being a huge company that has been around for a long time, has a research team that is top-notch in developing products or improving older products. And the prices are very reasonable. I love the skin care line a lot.
If you DO decide to make money as a Rep, you will have a lot of support from your sponsors.
I believe Avon is a solid business.
Thank you.

I was browsing the internet when I came upon victoria-road.com. Maybe I'm biased, but when I saw Pakistan designers, I half expected head scarves and modest fashions. Boy, was I wrong! These women's and girl's clothes are BEAUTIFUL DESIGNER CREATIONS, using the best fabrics. These are really "custom" items that will make you stand out in a crowd.
Unfortunately for me, I can't really afford these items, as I'm retired and on a fixed income. Mainly though, I am too fat to wear these beautiful, unique dresses, skirts and tops, as most of them look like the XS category.
There is a "look-book" category of what is coming in the next season. The Priscilla top, and the Martina and Olivia dresses are beautiful and unique, real designer items.
Please, if you are a thin model type, and if you have the money for unique designer items, check out Victoria-Road.com!

About 25-30 years ago, I worked the P.M. shift and slept from about 1 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Unfortunately for me, our neighbors at that time had two dogs that seemed to bark all night long. I bought a "white noise" machine which blocked out the barking and enabled me to sleep through the barking and street noise. There are many, many white noise machines on the market, but one of the best, at a really low price of under $30, is the Marpac Dohm Dome machine. This is a no frills machine with two settings-loud and low white noise. You can also adjust it by opening or closing the little holes on top by twisting the top so that you get the level of white noise that suits you. I had purchased fancier machines that had sounds like the ocean. I don't know about you, but the ocean does sound peaceful. However, that company adds seagulls quaking at intervals that I guarantee wake me up!
For a basic, effective white noise machine that blocks out sounds so you can sleep, I recommend Marpac! I have a few white noise machines, including an old one that still works over 25 years later!

I've lived in the Central Valley of California for almost 31 years, but I never learned Spanish. Maybe I'm biased, but English is our language in the USA. Anyway, we have a housecleaning service come in every two weeks. In a couple of these weeks, a lady who doesn't speak English cleaned our home. I had some special instructions for her, but since neither of us spoke the other's language, I was looking for some way to communicate. I came across "Spanishtoenglish" on my cell phone. What is so great about this app is that you write in what you want to say. The Spanish translation shows up on the cell phone, along with an audible voice feature. It is simple but totally successful. I love it. It would also be invaluable if people wanted to learn Spanish. The very best translation app I ever found!

Joe-Cannon.com is a great, informative site about fitness, personal training, health, and wellness. Joe is a certified Personal Trainer with a Masters in Exercise Science. I'm not a trainer, and in fact, I probably NEED a trainer, but I became interested in this site because Joe Cannon is the first person EVER (I think) to write about rhabdomyolysis and exercise-RHABDO can lead to kidney failure and death in extreme cases. I'm an RN, BSN who read his book and was shocked at what can happen. In this site, Joe also talks about how to pass the Personal Trainer's NASM and ACE certifications, plus he has an EXCELLENT article on Gym Emergencies and what should be done when they occur. I got to know about the Joe-Cannon.com site because I'm an avid reader of his "SupplementClarity.com" site, where he does totally unbiased reviews of supplements and health products. I have the utmost respect for Joe Cannon's knowledge. He has written several books, including one, "Nutritional Supplements" that I bought and use as a resource. He trains Trainers, has lectured at NASA, and has had articles published, including in "Prevention". No, I'm not Joe's mother. But I think I found a real treasure on-line when I found Joe Cannon's websites.

Our Daily Bread is a small Christian booklet with Scripture verses, a personal message, and insights for every day of every year. I love it! It is a free booklet, and the organization runs on voluntary donations, which are not forced upon anyone. It is a great tool to give to people as a way to share your faith and encourage them. It is also wonderful for family devotions, as the messages are short, as are the Scripture verses. It is very thought-provoking, and the insights included help me understand the context of the Scriptures. My husband and I have been reading Our Daily Bread for years. Any Christian will love these monthly booklets. Anyone, Christian or not, will be encouraged by the lessons. I highly recommend Our Daily Bread.

In 2011 I found out that I had very severe sleep apnea. I would stop breathing 92 times per hour! No wonder I was tired all the time. My first machine was a CPAP. It didn't have a computer chip to moniter results back in 2011. It wasn't working, so I got a BiPAP machine from ResMed, a leading company in Sleep Apnea machines. This one had a chip which would record "usage hours, mask seal, events, mask on/off, and myAir score". This helped me monitor my progress. After several months, the sleep apnea "events" (which monitored the number of times I stopped breathing or had insufficient breaths" started increasing again. Sleep specialists can download the chip and see all the data. Finally, I got an ASV machine, also from ResMed and also with a chip.
If you have sleep apnea, I highly recommend that you get a ResMed machine. To register, you input easy information and can then see all of the indicators I mentioned above, in order to see how effective your machine is in helping your sleep apnea.
Because I have such severe sleep apnea, I check my events and scores often. If my events increase, I can bring the chip in to my doctor, he downloads the data, and then he can increase or decrease the pressures of the machine. The myair.resmed.com site also shows you how to clean your equipment and gives you tips on how to better control your sleep apnea.
I don't know how many other companies manufacture sleep apnea machines, but I highly recommend ResMed. Whatever brand you get, get one with a computer chip and take more charge over your sleep apnea and your health. Be proactive and be a team member with your doctor. This site is what you need to do so.

I happened upon jewelry.com when I was looking for a garnet ring in a silver setting for my sister. I spent probably 2 hours looking through this site. There is SO MUCH to look at, since they sell jewelry of all kinds for men and women, from rings to earrings, to pendants, necklaces, and bracelets and more. Jewelry.com has high-priced gems, moderate priced ones, and a great selection of very inexpensive jewelry, many of which are semi-precious stones. They also sell crystal jewelry, and they tell whether the item is crystal or a real stone. Personally, I would never buy something for thousands of dollars on an online site, but the quantity of less expensive items is huge. I've purchased the garnet ring for my sister, and for the price, it was very nice. I also bought a citrine ring for myself, and the stones were beautiful. Just today I bought a blue topaz 4 3/8 carat ring for myself for less than $40, including both tax and S&H. I have a nice collection of high-priced jewelry that my husband has gifted me with, but when I'm out about town (in a city where once a man was killed for his gold chain!), I wear my cheap but nice-looking jewelry. I've received many compliments on rings that cost less than $50. I had to contact customer service once, and they replied quickly. (It wasn't because of a problem with their jewelry). I recommend jewelry.com.
