This is your life, babes-never let anyone steal your sparkle!
I honestly don't have any tips for that, except to make sure that your skin is freshly washed before application, which I'm sure you already know. I have never had this streak on me. This stuff is my ride or die. If it streaked on me, I would just be meticulous about showering prior and making sure that nothing was getting in the way of absorption. I wish I had a better answer. Thanks for watching.

Lugol's iodine is also so very amazing to rub on sore muscles or breasts (period and menopausal sore breasts). Just take a few drops , rub in gently (yeah, fingers turn red but who cares:) and let the healing begin.
OMG that had me cracking up. I have certainly almost done that, but I will tell you, my life became much less stressful once I started doing this and not worrying about my hair. Thanks for watching.
The old models have NIMH batteries and a standard wall outlet charge cord you plug into the stun gun. The problem with the NIMH are the batteries these cheaper stun guns use are low rated, garbage batteries and the internal circuits in the stun gun are cheap and poor design as well; the red led light will remain red and never turn green...there is no way to know when you have fully charged the batteries...if you overcharge NIMH batteries they might leak, but they shouldn't blow up, so the worst you will do is shorten their lifespan. If these companies used high quality NIMH batteries like sanyo, panasonic i.e. eneloop NIMH then they would be awesome and highly reliable when coupled with a better circuit design which monitored the voltage and cut off the charge when fully juiced up. The good thing now is there are newer models which have incorporated newer technology and have a micro usb port and 500 mAh battery and the led will turn green when fully charged. As its a li-ion battery the charge is cut off to avoid overcharging and battery explosion or vent episode. Li-ion batteries are in cell phones, laptops, etc and are safe with protective circuits, without they are dangerous if overcharged. I'm sure the li-ion battery is a cheap one, but its miles ahead of cheap NIMH. The green light on full charge is really nice feature. If you know anyone who can solder, you could easily have them replace the li-ion battery pack if it died or if you wanted a higher capacity battery. With the li-ion batteries, the stun gun should last longer, much longer and you shouldn't need to replace as often.
Wow, this is a great point. I had no idea. Thank you for explaining this. I will look into this on the new ones when I replace the old ones. Thanks for watching.
Hey yall, ya REALLY need to check out this guy with a blood glucose monitor CGM using ChocZero. This continuous monitoring gives us a real look at blood glucose impact with ChocZero.⚠️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r4FNAmGw7W0.htmlsi=410JKsYKSVU3_e13
I bought this to add to my plant water to help in case they get root bound. In the past I've used 12% food grade but this is all the health food store where I shop had. Any advice on how much I should use and if it works good for this purpose ?
Years ago I got a bottle of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide for less than $10. (35% hydrogen peroxide is VERY strong and needs to be handled very carefully with gloves and eye protection.). I use it to make my own 3% dilution, which I further dilute as needed to use in my waterpick device. It works great.
Glad you enjoyed it. We actually just used ours yesterday and I was reminded how much I love this thing. Still going strong. Hope you love yours too. ❤️
I'm sorry to hear you had that response to this. I can only say what worked for me and obviously it's not going to work for everyone. Let us all know if you find something that works for you, as it may be a viable option for others who don't have a good reaction to this. Thanks for watching.
0:26 “I tried a couple different brands because.. this stuff is, you know like, kinda. But.” “That’s why it is.. ya. It works.” 👀 how could you upload such a nonsense 😂

Do you still have the portable nebulizer and do you still like it? I have the exact same one and I wondered the effectiveness between the two types of nebulizers. Great video.
Yes, I still have it and you know it is almost that season. I just love that I don't have to be tethered to a wall while using it. Thanks for watching.

Thank you hash Imoto is an auto immune watch doctor Kendberry auto immune 2024 video apparently a bunch is cuz of stuff called canavanine containing vegetables
I have no idea. I would reach out to them and ask. I still have my last bottle, because I ordered the two pack and it takes me forever to go through them. Let us know what you find out. Thanks for watching.
I was trying to think of a less hostile way to say, this will make you wish you made other decisions. I'm glad you got a good laugh out of it. Thanks for watching.
But it has plastic lid ....stop promoting domthing dengerous when you store hot water or breverage....see lot of brand has 100 percent steel lids ... like pebird brands
How about this? I will promote the products that I use and love on my channel and you are free to watch or not watch my review videos. Not all people, myself included, care to sip from a steel lid. The good news is that you are free to purchase whatever drink container you like.
Because after a few years, it won't hold a charge. No charge equals making it less effective. Trust me, I wish it didn't have to be replaced, but this is true of all of these kinds of stun guns that I have ever come across. I wish they could make one that would just last, as I don't enjoy replacing it, because it's not like they are inexpensive. Hope that answers your questions. Thanks for watching.
How long did it take for you to feel results? Today has been a week of taking. I do feel the fatigue lifting some. But im still having cortisol crashes. I have hypothyroidism/adrenal fatigue.
Read some articles that Hyaluronic Acid doesn't give as much moisture as Vegetable Glycerin when applied to your face, but when taken it seems to have great benefits such as hydration (but you also need to be drinking water regardless and not like all at once everyday in a pattern) you don't want to drink to much to fast. Also read its great for gut health, i take some vitamins and my fish oil has some in it. Never really heard about it in the beauty space just Hyaluronic Acid in make up and skin care but they also use Vegetable Glycerin. So going to look into this more. New to skin care, just workout and wear makeup time to time. They say just to start with a little like anything just in case you are allergic. Interested to try it and see if i see any differences.
I use them both, vegetable gylcerin and hyaluronic acid and I love them both. What I have been doing for the last couple of months is adding a drop of vegetable glycerin to the palm of my hand and then one dropper full of the Hyaluronic Acid and mixing them together and applying on my face and hands. I have really really been loving the way that they feel together. Thanks for watching.
That's unfortunate to hear, because I live and die by this stuff. When I miss it even for a few days, I notice, big time. Like everything, no one thing works for everyone or they wouldn't be able to keep it in stock. I hope you finds something that works for you. If you do, please share it here so that others may see what may work for them. Thanks for commenting.
I'm not sure what to say, because that has never been an issue for me. The first thing I thought was that maybe the grounds are too fine? If you are losing grounds in your coffee, I would reach out to Stanley or exchange that one, because mine has never done that. Let me know what happens.
I am really working on incorporating more 'in use' sections in my video. Sorry it wasn't included. We actually used this the other night to make the white sauce for our fish tacos. This thing is amazing.
