Spring Cleaning Giveaway

Founded in 1915, Federal Process Corporation began with just one product - Gasoila (pronounced Gas-oil-ah) Hard Set Sealant. In 1994, a product was created for the industrial business to remove sealant, now known as Tub O' Towels. However, once it was discovered that this strong wipe had thousands of uses outside of the industrial space, it was introduced to the retail market in 2011. Now, seven years later, Tub O' Towels Heavy Duty Cleaning Wipes is a staple in auto body shops and garages across the US. Tub O' Towels is not just for greasy outdoor projects (although they are perfect for that too!). Tub O' Towels is also great for cleaning the daily messes that all of us deal with. These heavy-duty wipes can be used on strollers, car seats, car interiors, carpets, floors, walls, and so much more! While many people have heard of these amazing wipes found in the yellow container, did you know that Tub O' Towels makes wipes for other uses as well? They also make wipes for cleaning Carpet and Upholstery, Stainless Steel, and Granite and Marble. We're so excited today to let you know that Tub O' Towels Stainless Steel and Granite & Marble wipes are now available at your local Target store and at Target.com! That's right, you can pick them up on your next Target run!

What is LiveWell Naturally?

I'm so glad you asked! LiveWell Naturally is a brand new full spectrum hemp CBD oil company, sourcing their products from a hemp farm in the heart of the pure air of the southern Rocky Mountains in Pueblo, Colorado. LiveWell Naturally is committed to supplying products using the highest quality full spectrum hemp CBD oil available on the market.

 

What is full spectrum hemp oil?

LiveWell Naturally Full Spectrum Hemp Oil is made from all-natural compounds of the hemp plant. These compounds are known as cannabinoids. Some of the more well-known cannabinoids that can be found in LiveWell Naturally products include CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC, CBDA, and 0.3% or less THC. The human body produces cannabinoids naturally, known as endocannabinoids. When our bodies are endocannabinoid deficient, plant-based cannabinoids (called phytocannabinoids) can be used to balance our body’s systems. When using plant-based cannabinoids, Full Spectrum Hemp Oil provides your body with many of the beneficial compounds found in hemp. LiveWell Naturally Full Spectrum Hemp Oil also contains useful plant compounds called terpenes and flavonoids that act holistically with phytocannabinoids in the body, further strengthening the benefits of LiveWell Naturally Full Spectrum Hemp Oil.

Why would someone want full spectrum hemp CBD oil?

Hemp oil supplement gives you a natural way to relieve chronic pain, inflammation. Other moms like to use LiveWell Naturally full spectrum hemp oil plus it also provides relief of anxiety, stress and arthritis. These are just a few of the health benefits associated with full spectrum hemp oil use!

How does it work?
It’s all about the balance. The human body is self-regulating, constantly shifting to keep balanced and healthy. This process is called homeostasis. One way our bodies maintain homeostasis is through the Endocannabinoid System or ECS. The ECS is a large system of neuro-transmitters in the human body. It is made up of a network of receptors throughout our brain, central nervous system, organs, and glands. This network regulates a variety of processes including sleep, relaxation, cognition, and recovery. Our bodies naturally produce compounds called endocannabinoids that bind to ECS receptors. When our bodies are deficient in these endocannabinoids, we may experience negative effects as a result of the imbalance in our homeostasis. Some plants produce phytocannabinoids (plant-based cannabinoids) that can help offset endocannabinoid deficiency. The cannabinoids in LiveWell Naturally Full Spectrum Hemp Oil interact with our endocannabinoid system, stimulating it to ensure our body is in state of homeostasis.

What you need to know about scholarships

This is a sponsored post.

 With the skyrocketing costs of higher education, parents and students are finding it harder and harder to pay for college. While we all know about student loans and grants, scholarships are becoming more and more popular.

I live in a very small rural community.  I was at Honors Day last year and our high school handed out $332,000 in scholarships.  My mind was blown.  Since I have a daughter that will be entering college soon, I have been looking at scholarships as a way to fund her college education.

The first place to look for scholarships is right at your school, most likely in your high school counselor's office. I know the counselor at my daughter's high school emails all students and parents a list of scholarships available to the students.  Local business, civic clubs, and past graduating classes are just a few of the local scholarships that are available.

Each scholarship has different requirements, but most want specific information, references, and an essay on a given topic.  Make sure you follow the format that is listed.  Your references should be contacted before you use them on your scholarship. You certainly don't want to lose out because your reference does not know much about you, yet you listed them.  So, make sure you have permission from that person.  I suggest setting up a quick meeting or phone call to discuss  and having your "high school resume' " for valid talking points.

Many scholarships are based on financial need, so be ready to discuss that.  You will also need your grade point average(GPA). You HAVE to have a letter of acceptance in order to actually receive most scholarships. You can get all of this information from your high school counselor or graduation coach. You will also need recommendations for most scholarships, so set up a meeting and take that resume' and make sure your reference is covering all the info you need.

You can find many scholarships online.  I will discuss a few.  Danny Errico has a scholarship for $10,000.  That is a lot of money to further your education.  One of the requirements is to make a video.  I want to urge the importance of reading the requirements of each scholarship and following directions precisely.  If an essay is part of your application, have a teacher proofread it for you for content, spelling, grammar, sentence structure and punctuation.  You do not want to hand in an incomplete or error filled essay.

One of the scholarships tha most aligns with my life is from Siblings of Autism.  I have a son with autism, so I think this would be a great scholarship for my daughter.  The winner gets $10,000 and there is one $5000, and five $1000 winners.  A lot of scholarships have this type of staggered levels of winning.

There are many resources for finding scholarships.  Use Google to help you find the one that is right for you.  But, I think the most important place to start is with your high school or the college you will be attending.

A Practical Gift for Mom

We just had Easter and now Mother's Day is quickly approaching.   Are you wondering what to buy Mom for Mother's Day?  I am one for practical and useful gifts.  I found The Best Micro Cut Shredder at Hammacher Schlemmer and knew right away that I wanted it for my home office.

From shredding useless junk mail to shredding documents I no longer need, this paper shredders makes confetti.  Yes, I said confetti.  Backed by Hammacher Schlemmer's lifetime warranty, this is the perfect gift for Mom on Mother's Day.

Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer, this micro cut shredder earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it produced the smallest shreds, was the easiest model to use, and generated the least amount of sound. It cut paper into unrecognizable confetti as little as 12.3mm x 4.8mm, while lesser units shredded paper as large as 54mm x 12.2mm. Ranked as the easiest unit to use, it had a feeder that easily accepted paper, a light and window for the receptacle, and simple forward/reverse functionality to unclog jams. The Best model only generated 63 dB of noise (about the level of normal conversation) and was the quietest unit tested. It chews through 18 sheets of paper at one time, completely destroys CDs and credit cards, and has an 8 1/2 gallon bin. Rolls on four casters. AC plug. Black. 22" H x 14 1/2" W x 11" D. (38 lbs.)
