Essential Candy - A Sweet Mission

5/6/2024
Essential Candy® is a unique functional organic hard candy brand with a mission. Our journey began in 2018 when our founder, Tracy Ernst, had a vision during a quiet bike ride. She was inspired by a friend's battle with cancer and a desire to help ease the side effects of chemotherapy. From that moment of inspiration, Essential Candy was born. Our mission is rooted in giving back to those who are battling cancer. We lead with our hearts in everything we do. Our goal is to support individuals facing this challenging disease, including those in the midst of their battles, the survivors, and the dedicated caregivers who provide unwavering support. Essential Candy® makes all-natural healthy organic hard candy infused with essential oils and plant botanicals to support the body and provide well-being. Our better-for-you hard candies are organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, soy-free, dairy-free, and have no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. We are committed to the highest quality standards using real ingredients, ensuring that our candies remain true to their original source. With every bag of Essential Candy you purchase, we donate a bag of our healthy hard candies to various cancer support groups and individuals going through chemotherapy treatments. We call this our 'Get One Give One' mission. Even if, for a single moment, our "little piece of joy" candies bring comfort and happiness, we consider it a victory against cancer. This is why we are 'Candy with a Purpose.'

Try Blanket Pancakes & Syrup

4/15/2024
Pancakes are part of the fabric of American breakfasts, yet so many ready-to-make mixes and syrups are packed with additives, preservatives and artificial sweeteners. Blanket Pancakes & Syrup, the dream child of the pancake-loving Carter family, are here to weave a new narrative of what pancake mixes should be. Meet the rising star of the breakfast aisle: a line of irresistibly flavored pancake mixes and syrups that are made from simple ingredients families can trust. “We love pancakes, but between busy family life and health complications that arose after I gave birth, finding a product that combined both efficiency with health-conscious ingredients wasn’t easy at all. So, with some determination, a big appetite and a willingness to get my hands dirty in the kitchen, I perfected the right recipe. From there, “Blanket was born” said Marquita Carter, creator, and founder of Blanket Pancakes & Syrup. From a humble passion project to a startup success story, Blanket has already transformed the breakfast landscape with its all-natural, irresistibly flavored pancake mixes and syrups. In the last year, it hit shelves at grocers across the nation, including Walmart, Costco, Food Lion, Giant Foods and Hannaford. The reasons so many people are catching on to what makes Blanket such a standout breakfast product include: Delicious mixes: The pancake mixes come in buttermilk, honey butter, sweet potato, chocolate chip, vegan and an upcoming gluten-free buttermilk. Mouthwatering syrups: Available in original, vanilla and cinnamon, these syrups take an already outstanding batch of pancakes to the next level. Recognizable, wholesome ingredients: All of Blanket’s products are made from natural ingredients customers (and their bodies) can recognize. Each batch is free from bleached flour, preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, GMOs and eggs. Ready in minutes: The Carters know great pancakes take time and patience, but with Blanket, the “just add water” mixes make it simple to get pure, fluffy pancakes on the griddle in minutes. Blanket Pancakes & Syrup is committed to providing top-notch all natural products that make breakfast time the best meal of the day, at any time of the day. Blanket is available online at Amazon and grocery stores nationwide, including Walmart, Costco, Food Lion, Giant Foods and Hannaford. Web: https://blanketps.com About: Blanket Pancakes & Syrup is committed to providing top-notch all natural products that make breakfast time the best meal of the day, at any time of the day. The purest ingredients for the best-tasting, easiest pancakes and syrup is what Blanket’s all about.

World’s Smallest Cat: The Singapura

4/8/2024
The owner of Asiatica Cattery, Mike Lehmann, gave an exclusive on when he fell in love with the Singapura, how Asiatica started and what prospective owners should know. This was a delightful session that sheds a bit of light on their breeding process. Thank you Mike Lehmann for sharing with us! Web: http://asiaticacattery.com For Questions: mike@AsiaticaCattery.com Asiatica Cattery produces some of the finest Singapura kittens available, but demand is high and the process takes time. Speaking of wait times...they have historically averaged up to thirty months, especially for females, however for the foreseeable future, those wait times will be unachievable. For now new waitlist customers can expect a four year wait for the next available kitten, male or female. Please note this is an estimate and not a guarantee! It’s worth remembering that Asiatica Cattery does not manufacture kittens: they need to be born and raised before getting to you, your arms, your family. I realize this is hard to swallow for many potential Asiatica Cattery customers whose first question is often “how soon can we get our kitten?” My Singapura kitten customers invariably tell me “the wait was worth it!” Your Singapura kitten is worth waiting for... My females must first come into heat or estrus, where they are receptive and attractive to my stud males Gobi and Sami. This “cycling” can be fairly regular, or not, depending upon the individual female and other environmental factors. Once successfully bred (itself not a foolproof process), the gestation period to birth is 65 days, nine weeks, more than two months. The full cycle between litters takes all of six months. There is no rushing this process. Once born, momma does virtually all the work for the first 4 1⁄2 weeks or so, when, slowly over time babies are introduced to solid foods, eventually weaned and socialized. Kittens are petted, loved, engaged in play, kissed, hugged and talked to for a full 7 1⁄2 more weeks until finally, at twelve weeks of age the little one(s) are ready for you and your family. After babies have departed for their new homes, mother gets a well deserved break lasting a month or two. Bottom line? Two litters per year per female can be optimistic. This is nature’s cycle...much of it is out of my hands. The same is true for gender mix and litter size. These factors are out of our control. ► Luxury Women Handbag Discounts: https://www.theofficialathena.... ► Become an Equus Coach®: https://equuscoach.com/?rfsn=7... ► For $5 in ride credit, download the Lyft app using my referral link: https://www.lyft.com/ici/ASH58... ► Review Us: https://itunes.apple.com/us/po... ► Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/c/AshSa... ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1lov... ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashsa... ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/1loveAsh ► Blog: http://www.ashsaidit.com/blog #atlanta #ashsaidit #theashsaiditshow #ashblogsit #ashsaidit® Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ash-said-it-show--1213325/support.

Ethical Waterproof Jewelry: Paradise Feathers

3/25/2024
Andrezza Valentin is a contemporary artist and designer from São Paulo, Brazil, based in New York. Andrezza’s love for everything handmade and desire to find a creative outlet where she could combine her design and art background with craftsmanship naturally led her into jewelry design and the creation of Paradise Feathers. As an artist, Andrezza worked in large-scale sculptures and installations with ephemeral materials, making her artwork transient and finite. In counterpoint, her work as a jewelry artist allows Andrezza to explore and create small objects of art that can exist for years or even decades but still be unique and one-of-a-kind. Influenced by Bauhaus and Art Deco, Andrezza's aesthetic shines through in her minimalist designs, combining geometric shapes and clean lines with precious and non-precious materials to craft wearable sculptures of glamor and sophistication.

Highly Rated Sleepybelly Pregnancy Pillow

3/11/2024
Sleepybelly™ is the original three-piece maternity pillow designed to help expecting moms enjoy a deeper, more restful sleep during pregnancy. The pillow is made from a premium latex internal material, which helps prevent back sleeping and encourages safe side sleeping. The company was founded in Australia by two long-time friends and now has over 25,000 happy customers worldwide, shipping daily from their warehouses in the US, Australia, and New Zealand. The pillow comes highly recommended by leading midwives, physiotherapists, maternal health nurses, and authors, including Beth Ryan from BirthWithBeth and Sophie Walker from Australian Birth Stories. Web: https://sleepybelly.co From the Founders: Who we are... Two friends from Melbourne, Australia. Light sleepers and problem solvers, with an obsession for the small details ensuring everything is perfect. Notoriously poor sleeper and Sleepybelly co-founder, Hannah was surrounded by pregnant sisters and friends and hearing complaint after complaint of sore backs, tossing, turning and sleepless nights. Determined to solve the problem for those around her (and future Hannah), she embarked on a journey to develop and design a pillow which provides support, comfort and peace of mind for expecting mums. Enlisting the help of longtime friend and manufacturing expert Andy, the pair left no stone unturned to source the highest quality materials and liaising with expecting mums, osteopaths, women's health nurses to develop the Sleepybelly. We all know how difficult a comfortable night’s sleep becomes during pregnancy. A woman’s body is changing and growing every day. Carrying an extra human isn’t easy on your body. When you finally get into bed you want to feel comfortable and relieved. But the bed just doesn’t cut it and neither do a lot of the other pregnancy pillows in the market. Worthy product recommendations travel like wildfire with expecting mums – who are constantly passing on their tips and tricks for a more enjoyable pregnancy. There seemed to be a lack of a worthy product helping mums-to-be get a more comfortable and restful night’s sleep. Comfort is a huge driving force behind The Sleepybelly Pregnancy Pillow. But the real magic comes from the peace of mind it brings! Paranoid that they will fall asleep and wake up on their back wondering how long they’ve been laying like that? We’ve worked tirelessly to bring a product to you that prevents you from rolling onto your back in your sleep. A product that takes away that subconscious worry that stops you from drifting into a deeper, more restful sleep. That’s how Sleepybelly was born – out of a need for comfort and peace of mind! Our personal values are reflected in everything that we do with Sleepybelly. Two family orientated envrionmentally and socially conscious individuals with a healthy perfectionist complex. When setting out to develop the Sleepybelly the focus was always on creating the very best product possible, and solving a very important problem pregnant women encounter during the most important (but physically uncomfortable) period of their lives. Sparing no expense on design, research and manufacturing it's unsurprising that the resulting product is head and shoulders above other maternity pillows available on the market. The final nod to this dedication and values of quality and confidence is the 30-night, money back guarantee. If you've purchased a new Sleepybelly and it's not feeling more comfortable or supported, and as a result your sleep has not improved - send it back for a full refund, guaranteed. ► Luxury Women Handbag Discounts: https://www.theofficialathena.... ► Become an Equus Coach®: https://equuscoach.com/?rfsn=7... ► For $5 in ride credit, download the Lyft app using my referral link: https://www.lyft.com/ici/ASH58... ► Review Us: https://itunes.apple.com/us/po... ► Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/c/AshSa... ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1lov... ► Facebook:...

Janet Sherlund Talks Abandoned at Birth

3/4/2024
It’s stunning to realize that only 10 states make birth records available to American-born adoptees and their biological parents—Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon and Rhode Island. For adult adoptees born in the 20th century era of closed adoptions, this presents a painful obstacle to discovering their origins and ending the agonizing hunger to know their own identity. Janet Sherlund poignantly captures this journey in her elegant and heart-wrenching memoir, ABANDONED AT BIRTH: Searching for the Arms That Once Held Me (Forefront Books; May 7, 2024). Sherlund paints a vivid portrait of the detachment and longing of an adopted child and the lifelong quest to find her biological mother. It’s an unflinching examination of the grief and trauma caused by this primal separation and the dogged determination it takes to face the forces of opposition—both internal and external—to finally achieve answers. ABANDONED AT BIRTH illuminates the darker side of adoption, and what it takes to heal. “I hope it starts conversations about the rights of those given away, loss and grief in adoption, the biology of belonging and identity, and why love is not always enough to extinguish the pain,” Sherlund says. Like many adoptees of her generation, Sherlund was the offspring of teenaged parents. Her mother was forced to have her baby in secrecy. Sherlund would come to learn that her mother was unusual for her time. Not only did she not tell the father she was pregnant, she wanted nothing to do with her baby and never even looked at her newborn. All Sherlund had to go on when she began her search was a false narrative written about her biological parents by the adoption agency. The twists and turns, setbacks and disappointments, and surprising familial connections finally achieved makes ABANDONED AT BIRTH a page turner of a memoir. JANET SHERLUND served on nonprofit boards in education, health and the cultural arts before writing her memoir, Abandoned at Birth. Her single most significant life event was being given up for adoption at birth. Being adopted made her feel as though she was living a “borrowed life,” undermined her sense of trust and personal value, and impacted every decision she made. It also led to a lifelong quest to find her biological mother, with the hope of finally feeling a tether to this world, a sense of belonging and ultimately, herself. Her memoir fulfills a lifelong dream to raise awareness about loss and grief in adoption, and why it takes more than love to survive that trauma. A graduate of Colgate University, Sherlund lives on the island of Nantucket. 🚨🚨🚨THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE ON AMAZON. ► Luxury Women Handbag Discounts: https://www.theofficialathena.... ► Become an Equus Coach®: https://equuscoach.com/?rfsn=7... ► For $5 in ride credit, download the Lyft app using my referral link: https://www.lyft.com/ici/ASH58... ► Review Us: https://itunes.apple.com/us/po... ► Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/c/AshSa... ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1lov... ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashsa... ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/1loveAsh ► Blog: http://www.ashsaidit.com/blog #atlanta #ashsaidit #theashsaiditshow #ashblogsit #ashsaidit® Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ash-said-it-show--1213325/support.
