You have probably heard about the health issues that certain foods can cause for some people. Maybe, you are someone who is affected by some type of food intolerance. Or perhaps, you wonder if a food intolerance could be causing health issues for you.
Did you know things like eczema, bloating, gas, congestions, weight gain, joint pain, acid reflux, skin rash, diarrhea, food cravings, fatigue, migraines, headaches, brain fog and more can occur when your body cannot properly digest and convert the foods you eat? Not being able to convert that food into necessary nutrients to fuel your body can lead to inflammation and many other negative food intolerance related symptoms as stated above.
If you suffer from any of the health issues listed above, you may wonder if it caused by a food intolerance. However, many are not sure of how to find out. That is why I am excited to share Pinnertest with you. Pinnertest is a next generation at home blood test that can determine your individual food intolerances.
How Does Pinnertest Work?
A few drops of dry blood from a finger stick are all that is needed to test. You do this easily at home and get your results by email.
Although Pinnertest is not meant to act as a diagnostic tool, it can arm you with important wellness advice to alleviate negative food intolerance related symptoms. Pinnertest does not prescribe any specific dietary plans after testing, but eliminating the problem foods from your diet and replacing them with nutrient-dense alternatives is highly recommended.
Do It At Home
When you order a Pinnertest kit through www.pinnertest.com, they ship your kit to you within 2 business days. Once you get your kit, it takes a few seconds to draw a few drops of blood from your fingertip and put it on a sample pad. Then, just ship it back in the postage paid shipping envelope included in your Pinnertest kit.
Get Your Results
In 7-10 business days the results will be sent to your email address in an easy to understand report. This report will show you exactly which foods make you sick. You may also receive a free consultation from one of Pinnertest’s consultants who can answer any questions you may have.
Check out the video below to see more about how easy it is to use a Pinnertest kit.
Besides their website, you can follow Pinnertest on Twitter and Instagram. You can also check out testimonials from their clients around the world who credit Pinnertest for being the catalyst to their improved health and wellness. So. what do you think?

Sun Tail Mermaid has created the world’s best swimmable mermaid tails and mermaid flippers. Their mermaid tails are soft, comfortable, and come in a wide variety of designs and colors. They are made of high quality swimsuit fabric with 4-way stretch. She can actually swim in this tail, how cool is that?

The propulsion and control are exceptional. The monofins come in a wide range of beautiful colors, so you can match your mermaid tails or look amazing wearing it alone.
I recently ordered and received a mermaid tail and monofin that I just love. I have to wait for the summer to try it out in our lake, but I can’t wait! It will be so much fun! I have to say, everything is very well made with high quality materials.
So what do you think? Do you know someone who would love this?
It is so hard losing a beloved dog. They become such members of our families, who work their way deep in our hearts. When we lose our four-legged family member, the grief is real and raw. Some people need to wait a while before even considering getting another dog. Others feel that getting a new puppy helps them through the grieving process.
What if you could clone your dog? Would you do it?
Barbra Streisand did just that! Not only did she do it once, she did it twice! When her beloved Samantha, a Coton du Tulear died at age 14 in 2017, she had cells taken from the dog’s stomach and mouth. From those cells. she has two new puppies, Miss Violet and Miss Scarlett. Even though they are cloned from Samantha, they have different personalities. Streisand says she is waiting for them to get older, so she can see if they have Samantha’s brown eyes or seriousness. Besides the two cloned pooches, Streisand also has a third puppy who is a distant cousin of Samantha’s.
A little research tells me that cloning your dog costs about $50,000, while cloning your cat is a bargain at only $25,000. Beyond cost, I have some concerns about cloning animals.
Dolly, the infamous cloned sheep, developed crippling knee arthritis at age five, and died at the age of 6 from lung disease and other health issues. Some speculated that it was because she was cloned from an animal that was nearly 7 years old, that caused her to develop these conditions so early. The normal life expectancy of a Finn-Dorset sheep is about 11-12 years.
I personally would not do this, I don’t think it is worth the risk of bringing an animal into the world who may suffer and have a poor quality of life. There are so many dogs that need homes, and in this case, she already had a new puppy that was a distant cousin of her beloved Samantha. I imagine Babs could have bought 2 more puppies from that same breeder, if she wanted dogs that would be related to Samantha.

I have shown you before how to make easy marshmallow fondant, but this time I created a video tutorial as well. I am a very visual person and love being able to watch video tutorials. They help me immensely, so I decided to try to do as many as I can to help others.
Marshmallow fondant is very inexpensive to make and taste so much better than the premade fondant you can buy in the store. To make this marshmallow fondant, you will need:
You can watch the video tutorial below:
The thing I like about this fondant is that when you use your stand mixer, you can add enough powdered sugar so that it is fairly easy to knead right out of the bowl. It comes together into a workable fondant very quickly.
It is also very easy to color this fondant with gel food coloring. I have another video that shows how easy you can color this marshmallow fondant. Please subscribe to our YouTube Channel so that you will know when it is live.
Let me know if you try this recipe, and how it worked out for you.

Roses are beautiful, but they die so fast when cut for bouquets. Sure, you can dry and press them, but that does not leave you with a vibrant, beautiful flower. Wouldn’t it be amazing if they could stay beautifully preserved forever?
If you like that idea, you will love, The Eternity Rose. They take a natural rose and create a gorgeous work of art by electroforming it with 24 karat gold. Then, they cover the leaves and petals in a radiant glaze.
The leaves are treated in a way that dissolves the green tissue, leaving the underlying leaf structure. This reveals a beautiful lattice framework that they coat with 24 karat gold and then glaze.
Each rose is crafted by hand and is truly unique. I recently ordered one of their purple glazed roses. It was presented in a beautiful case that cradled this breathtaking flower with care. The rose is absolutely stunning, you can see more on our video below.
They have roses available in so many beautiful colors on their website. They also have, exquisite pendants and earrings made using real miniature roses. They even have gift sets of their roses and jewelry. These roses make perfect gifts for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries and more. Why not give a gift that will be around for longer than a week?
