Natural Pain Relief with Far Infrared Therapy

March 29, 2018 By Debra Pearlstein 12 Comments


So many of us have chronic pain or know someone who does. I have fibromyalgia and other muscle and joint issues which affect me daily including severe sciatic pain. Pain relief can make the difference in a good day and a bad one, how we interact with our family and friends, even our general outlook on life.

As a holistic health therapist, I am always looking for ways for myself and others to improve their quality of life and increase wellness. I feel that a healthy lifestyle including alternative therapies can improve your life for the better and help you live with joy, peace and purpose.

For years I have watched my family members and friends suffering from arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, back pain and so much more. I’m a strong believer in a healthy whole food diet, staying well-hydrated, electrolytes, probiotics and omegas as well as cranio-sacral work, acupuncture, massage, t’ai chi, chi gung, yoga, mindfulness and meditation.

Recently I’ve found a new alternative therapy that I’m really excited about! Have you heard about infrared technology helping with pain relief? Far Infrared Therapy is natural and non-invasive. Experienced by us as heat, it’s the invisible part of the sunlight spectrum. It’s the wonderful warmth you feel with the sun on your skin.

HealthyLine makes Far Infrared heating mats created in collaboration with inventors and healthcare professionals.that are definitely worth checking out!

I love the mats they have that provide completely natural gemstone heat therapy. The gemstone surface has jade, amethyst, tourmaline and sometimes obsidian as well. As you heat the gemstones, they emit far-infrared rays (FIR) in large amounts. FIR are most commonly received from sunlight and these rays can penetrate 4-6″ into body tissues, help stimulate circulation, decrease pain, inflammation, stiffness and stress, and promote relaxation. Each mat also comes with a foil space blanket to amplify the effectiveness. You get the same benefits as an infrared sauna but with the inclusion of negative ions and a fully functional pulsed electromagnetic field system.

These treatments are very helpful for arthritis, fibromyalgia, lower back and sciatic pain, even daily aches. While infrared saunas may be helpful, they can be very expensive and you have to leave the comfort of your home which is no fun when you just want to relax. You can use these mats anywhere. Think of how much money you can save on holistic health treatments as well. It truly is a wonderful investment towards wellness.

Benefits:

Far Infrared Therapy is channeled thru heated gemstones:

Amethyst – emits a steady flow of far infrared and negative ions and can promote better healing, sleep and overall wellbeing.

Jade – emits a low heat that is wonderful for relaxation and meditation and helps restore energy and efficient body function

Tourmaline – produces the highest amount of negative ions out of the gemstones used, revitalizes you and helps detoxify

Negative Ion Therapy – Did you know that technology can disturb negative ion exposure? This is particularly relevant as so many of us use it so often. Negative Ions are nature’s purifiers. They are plentiful near waterfalls and bodies of water such as rivers and oceans. They can help you feel more at ease and promote good health. That sense of well-being so many feel after a rainstorm may be caused by the high concentration of negatively charged ions n the air.

HealthyLine heated gemstones provide a boost of negative ions which can ease respiration, decrease stress, detoxify and clear your mind, improve sleep and overall health

The hot stone therapy lets you turn your home into a spa, relaxes and soothes muscles and is scientifically linked to stress reduction and lowering anxiety. It increases blood flow to help pains and heal and can be used with massage and other holistic therapies with synergistically improved results (chiropractic treatments, acupuncture, acupressure). Heating gemstones releases far infrared ray and negative ions and the stone surface also works with your body’s pressure points to de-stress.

Pulsed Electromagnetic fields (PEMF) stimulate cell health and counteract harmful exposure from electronics. PEMF is FDA approved to manage joint pain, bone repair, and signs of depression. It is even used by NASA to maintain the health of astronauts in orbit. Compatible with our own natural biorhythms, it is based on the Earth’s magnetic pulse.

Photon Light Therapy penetrates just below the surface of your skin, helps with motor function and nerve regeneration, and can help manage symptoms of depression including Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Treatment with Healthy Line far-infrared mats is simple and painless.  The energy penetrates  the skin and is absorbed by deep tissues. This stimulates blood flow, , improves muscle recovery and decreases pain and inflammation. It can also be used after exercise. Just remember to stay hydrated!

Fibromyalgia and Sleep

I love that these mats can help with sleep as well. Did you know that in the U.S., 30% of adults suffer from short term insomnia, while for 10% or more it is chronic. After a long day, so many just want a good night’s sleep! Sadly, there are more than 3 million new cases of fibromyalgia a year in the U.S. alone. I am all too well aware of the widespread muscle pain, tenderness, fatigue, altered sleep patterns and occasional brain fog.

I’m a firm believer in focusing on improving the body’s organic healing systems through whole foods, yoga and meditation, t’ai chi and acupuncture. HealthyLine Infra-red mats can also help the body manage and deal with pain, relieve muscle tension and sleep better. The mats are completely safe to sleep on.

 

 

Each mat comes with a 45-day trial period so you can test it for yourself.  Check out HealthyLine’s website for a plethora of cool products including pillows and bedding.

#Win $100 Paypal Cash or Amazon Gift Code – The Marriage Pact Book Blast #giveaway

February 28, 2018 By Debra Pearlstein Leave a Comment

We’re thrilled to bring you another great giveaway and book blast for The Marriage Pact by Wendi Sotis. This giveaway is for $100 Paypal cash or an Amazon gift code. Use it to buy books or anything your heart desires :). Best of luck!

The Marriage Pact by Wendi Sotis

A Regency Romance

The heir to an earldom has little control over his own fate, but Mr. James Aldridge promised himself one freedom. To marry for affection instead of wealth or connections. Anger flares when he learns his father has struck a deal: in one year, he will be leg-shackled to Miss Celia Colton, the dazzling beauty who had previously caught his eye. Now certain she was simply performing her role in a scheme to catch him as her husband, resentment prompts James to refuse to squander his last months of independence in the company of such a mistress of manipulation. But why can he not wrench his gaze from her at every encounter?

Completely unaware of the pact that has matched her with James, Miss Celia Colton is at a loss to explain why the man she secretly loves has suddenly become cold and critical. Abandoned by James, who had promised to guide her through her debut Season, she fears she will have to navigate the ton with only her grasping mother and distracted cousin as companions. Surrounded by gentlemen merely interested in her dowry, young ladies who view her as unwelcome competition, and, worse yet, James’s icy stares and disdainful manners, her primary concern is to discover the reason for his altered behaviour. How can she make things right between them? Will a love-match be forever out of her reach?

 

Praise for The Marriage Pact

This novel had quite a few twists & turns to it that I didn’t quite expect. I won’t give away any spoilers, but I will say I truly enjoyed this book – I felt thoroughly engaged throughout the whole of it & being a regency style novel as well as being a clean read, I can highly recommend it.

 

Excerpt:

For the moment, the pair of matrons were silently observing Celia interact with a newly introduced gentleman, a Mr. Montgomery. As she rose from yet another curtsy, her gaze deviated from its mark and locked onto a sight that caused her heart to cease beating.
James stood directly across the ballroom, speaking to a lady. Even from this distance, his handsome visage nearly took her breath away. She strained to discern a trace of the deep timbre of his voice from the din of the crowd, but she could not make it out. It had been too long since her heart had soared with the rumbling of his laughter — far, far too long since his smile had warmed her soul.
She willed James to approach. Alas, he did not. The urge to call out to him almost overcame her sense of propriety before the recollection of the change in their situation crashed down on her all at once. Her elation burst, leaving an ache in its place.
She sighed and glanced at Mr. Montgomery, who looked away from her neckline only long enough to sign her dance card.
If she could put up with this man’s ogling her through a set, then surely, she could endure pairing up with James and withstand his angry glares.
Mr. Montgomery returned the card to her hand, and she saw there were still two sets open. As was expected of her, she thanked the gentleman and curtsied once again. Mr. Montgomery bowed and retreated.
Her mother immediately took hold of one of her hands. “Celia! Lord Eagleton has come, after all, and he moves in this direction. Remember everything I have told you, dear — simply everything. You must attract his attention immediately, before Miss Buchannan does so.” She craned her neck to peer around a group of ladies who had moved between them and James. “Oh, that disagreeable Mr. Kenilworth has delayed Lord Eagleton’s approach. I had the disadvantage of making his acquaintance last summer, while I stayed at Penelope’s estate. Mr. Kenilworth is a distant relation to the baron, and although he may be the younger son of an earl, I do not like that man. Especially not now.” She held out her hand to Celia. “Give me your dance card, dear.”
Celia held onto her card tightly, already suspecting what her mother had in mind. She widened her eyes. “Why?”
“If Mr. Kenilworth delays Lord Eagleton much longer, he will not be able to reserve a set with you. I shall do so for him.”
“But mother …” Celia sputtered out, “Perhaps Lord Eagleton does not wish to request a dance.”
“Nonsense.” Mrs. Colton laughed as she waved the idea away. “Of course he does. He would wish to reserve a set of honour.” She plucked the card and pencil out of Celia’s hand. “You are unengaged for the last set. I shall fill in his name.”
“Mother, please do not —” It was too late. As her mother returned her card, Celia stared at the name now written next to the final set. Viscount Eagleton. Good Lord, what was she to do?

Author Wendi Sotis
Wendi Sotis lives on Long Island, NY, with her husband and triplets. While searching for Pride and Prejudice from Darcy’s point of view, she became thoroughly enamored with Jane Austen Fan Fiction or JAFF. In early 2010, she dreamed an idea for a story and hasn’t stopped writing since: Promises, Dreams and Expectations; All Hallows Eve;The Keys for Love; Safekeeping (with just a dash of Austen); The Gypsy Blessing; Foundation of Love (The Gypsy Blessing 2); and A Lesson Hard Learned. A Very Austen Christmas, released in 2017, is an anthology of short stories and novellas including Wendi’s story No Better Gift.

The Marriage Pact, and some of her works-in-progress, have branched away to Regency Romance (the Loving an Aldridge series) and Contemporary Romantic Mysteries (the Implicated series).

Wendi will also continue bringing Darcy and Lizzy together again and again in an unusual manner.

Baby Travel Tips and Mommy Must Haves

January 17, 2018 By Debra Pearlstein 15 Comments

JnJCOVER

I have been compensated by JOHNSON’S®  for this post; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own.

Over the holidays, some of us travel to visit friends or relatives.  While sometimes a short trip doesn’t take much planning, a weekend away is much different with a baby along. You’re now packing not just for yourself and your partner, but, also, for your little one.

Here are some tips to make things easier

Expect the unexpected in terms of clothing changes. Take at least two or three extra outfits for your little one. A diaper mishap is not something you want to stress about when you’re on vacation.  On that note, bring extra diapers and wipes. Pack more than you would usually use. As I said, expect the unexpected.  Poop happens at the very worst times. It’s Murphy’s Law.

If you’re breastfeeding, that’s taken care of (just bring your nursing pads). If you are bottle feeding, bring extra formula and extra food if your baby is on solids. Have fruits and veggies and snacks at the ready.

Crucial: Do not forget that favorite blankie, pacifier or toy! When you bring your baby’s beloved items, you bring some ‘home’ to a strange place, and, the more your child feels at home, the easier the trip.

holiday5

Extra Tip: If your child has a favorite blanket, toy or lovey, consider buying an identical one so that should anything bizarre happen (and believe me, it happens!), you can replicate it without too much trouble.

Odd fact: My younger sister’s favorite self-soother when she was a baby was a piece that had ripped off of my dad’s long johns. We still kid her about that to this day.

Also,  bring along your Mommy Must Haves. Mine always include Johnson & Johnson’s baby products.

We love and trust JOHNSON’S® products because of the care they put into their products and have always had a wonderful experience with them.

Another tip for you:  When getting ready for your trip, or any day, for that matter – Order in. Why spend time and energy getting the kids in the car to go to the store to stock up on baby items when you can order in from the comfort of your living room in your pj’s.

I love shopping at Walmart because it’s my one-stop easy shopping haven. This week I put in an order for baby goodies and got my order in two days along with free shipping because I spent $35 or more.

With the cold weather and preparation for the holidays, it was so easy to order baby products online and they arrived in record time, delivered right to the door so I didn’t even have to brave the snows or icy temps, or defrost the car.

NEW JOHNSON’S® HEAD-TO-TOE® extra moisturizing baby wash

This wash gently cleanses and soothes sensitive baby skin without drying, is the number-one choice of hospitals and has a creamy lather that pampers and is soap-free, dye-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, hypoallergenic, and dermatologist-tested. Also gentle to baby’s eyes.

JOHNSON’S® baby shampoo

No time for tears with this clean smelling shampoo. It’s hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, and gentle enough for newborns.

NEW JOHNSON’S® HEAD-TO-TOE® baby lotion

jjhmmhlotion

This is my favorite baby lotion for after bath.  With Vitamin E, it gently moisturizes your baby’s delicate skin, leaving it soft and smooth.  Pediatrician and dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic and mild.

 

NEW JOHNSON’S® HEAD-TO-TOE® baby cleansing cloths

These are perfect for a quick and gentle all-over clean between baths, hypoallergenic and ultra-mild. They’re almost 2x the size of average baby wipes with a thick soft texture, enriched with JOHNSON’S® baby lotion and pre-moistened so no water is needed.

 

You can also get travel sizes:

jjmmh6

We’ve found that a good bedtime routine is an essential part of healthy baby sleep habits. A good bedtime routine alerts your child to the fact that sleep time is approaching.  Sometimes trial and error is the best way to find what works for you.

jjmmh4

Start with a warm bath and gentle shampoo with JOHNSON’S®  bath products to help relax your little one. After toweling off, it’s time for a baby massage with JOHNSON’S®  baby lotion so they feel secure and loved. These rituals help engage your baby’s sense of smell and touch while strengthening your bond and preparing them for a good night’s sleep.

Next, it’s time for a lullaby or a book, or both. This is especially comforting because your child loves your voice, has since Day One, (or even earlier)! Music is good for the soul.

Time for kisses and lights off and hopefully everyone can get some peaceful refreshing sleep.

A good night’s sleep is essential for the overall health, cognitive ability and mood of your little one –- as well as for the parents.

Sweet dreams!

Game Changer by Charissa Stastny

Meridee Mansford is completely comfortable pretending to be invisible and wants nothing to do with the popular crowd. But that doesn’t stop her from dreaming about the hunky football player who visits the campus ice cream shop where she works. Still, she’s smart enough to know he’d never notice a girl like her, and she’d never want him even if he did. Too much unwelcome attention.

Parker Harrington basks in the glory that’s been his since the game-changing passes he caught that pushed his team into the national spotlight. Sticky Fingers is his media moniker now, and the cheerleaders who used to ignore him when he sat the bench have become his most devoted fans. But when he accidentally crashes into a quiet coed and covers her in orange chicken, it throws off his offensive game.

As fate, ice cream, and orange chicken throw the opposites together, will Parker continue keeping company with women he knows are only using him for his fame, or will he change up the game and risk his heart on a genuine girl who despises the attention he craves?

Praise for the Book

“A fun and flirty new adult romance. It’s a sweet indulgence that keeps you turning pages. The start to what is sure to be a great new series. – Jennifer Peel, author of Pianos and Promises series

“Opposites attract when the overlooked sweet girl lands herself the popular football star in this quasi-Cinderella story. It’s the perfect read to keep you up way past your bedtime…” –Taylor Dean, author of Chasing Fireflies

 

 

 

 

 

Excerpt 

Parker waggled his brows at me. “I’m waiting.” When I glared, he leaned over to whisper. “Call your man, or I’ll know you’re lying and be by to pick you up tomorrow night for our date. Tara told me where you live.” His blue eyes crinkled at the corners.

Tara had what? I folded my arms. No way would I let him ruin my first date in over three years. “Fine. I’ll call him.”

He raised an infuriating brow. “Thanks, Mare. I can’t wait to meet your soul-mate.”

“It’s Meridee.” I stomped into the break room and sent Danny out to handle the teenage rush with Bryce. Soul-mate. What a moron.

Pulling out my phone, I hit speed dial. On the third ring, my big brother answered.

“What’s up, Mare?”

“Thanks for answering.” I released the breath I’d been holding. “I need a huge favor.”

“Name it, sis. You know I’m here for you.”

I frowned at the pity I detected in his voice. But pride had no place at the moment, not with Parker Harrington waiting in the shop. “There’s this guy bothering me at work. Stalking me.” If he suspected danger, Mark would rush right over to save me. “Can you come to the shop and pretend to be my fiancé so he’ll leave me alone?”

“Ew. You’re my sister.”

“It’d only be for pretend. Please? I need your help, Mark.”

“You don’t expect me to hold hands or kiss you, do you?”

“Oh, shut up. Just get over here and let me introduce you to him. He doesn’t believe I have a boyfriend.”

“You don’t.”

I gnashed my teeth. “I know. That’s why I need your help.”

18 Reasons To Use SEO For Beginners

September 17, 2017 By Debra Pearlstein Leave a Comment

18ReasonstouseSeoForBeginners

This is a sponsored post.

As bloggers, we constantly are bombarded with keeping our blog as up to date as possible. How do we do this? By using essential tools to keep our brand/blog in the know, in the market, and available and accessible to anyone who wants to read about it. The problem is, how do we get those people to read what we are writing? So what do you need to know when it comes to SEO and is it worth it?

Here are 18 reasons to use SEO when blogging and what to use!

  1. Check For Duplicate Content– This helps you avoid losing search engine rankings! Duplicate content should be no more than 10% of your site. You should check for duplicate content and remove it to avoid losing search engine availability.

  2. Use International Contextual Links on Long Tail Keywords– This helps improve your page ranking! Scan through older posts that you have and other web pages. These are easy to link them internally and it helps to establish your SEO-friendly site architecture.

  3. Keywords in H Tags– For your best SEO results, it’s important that you place your page’s best keywords in H tags without overstuffing them. This allows your search engines to know what the page is all about.

  4. Use Short and Descriptive URL Links To Rank Higher– Create simple and SEO friendly permalinks, such that the URL is short but descriptive and contains your target keywords.

  5. Use Hyphens– This helps you to differentiate your words in the URL shortcut. The structure of a URL matters; so it’s important to keep them as simple as possible and to use hyphens to optimize your URLs.

  6. Optimize Your Images For Better Rankings– Optimizing your images to their largest size reduces your bounce rate, can improve your performance and generates more traffic from your image search engines like Google Image Search.

  7. Create Search Engine & User Friendly Layouts– By implementing a no-index tag on low quality pages, the search engine robots do not index them. A better idea would be to get rid of low quality thin content to help your page run smoother.

  8. Social Signals– These signals impact your search engine rankings. Make sure that it’s active on social sites because these search engines use the data from the sites to rank your website as a whole.

  9. Publish Static Pages– When you publish your usually static Privacy, Contact Us, About Us pages, you can improve your site’s visibility and search engine rankings because more people will spend time getting to know you, how to contact you and your privacy policy.

  10. Social Branding – If you are wanting a more organic search traffic and to rank well in SERPs, create a social profile for your business on popular social channels such as Twitter, Facebook, Google + and Instagram!

  11. Submit To Google Local Listing– Submit your sites listing on Google’s My Business page. This will help boost your local SEO and to improve your site’s visibility.

  12. Set Up A Search Console Account– Google Search Console gives you insight into which keywords are popular on your blog. Also, what web pages have been indexed, a list of external and internal sites and more!

  13. Set Up An RRS Feed For Your Blog– This makes it much easier for others to promote and share your content and then provide links back to your website, resulting in more traffic and brand awareness.

  14. Look For Broken Links– When you look for broken links on Wikipedia and replace them with yours. Getting a backlink from Wikipedia is great for improving your website’s availability.

  15. Use Guest Blogging For Link Building– When you have guest bloggers, they can help you boost your site’s organic search ranking by improving your site’s visibility on search engines. This is one of my favorite easy ways to keep your stats up!

  16. Create An Infographic – Using an infographic is one of the most popular methods of increasing your site’s traffic with quality content.

  17. Competitor Link Profile – Look at your link metrics of your website and review those important links. This will show you the important data, such as your page’s authority, domain authority, backlinks etc though which you can understand your competitors’ link building strategy.

  18. Use Google Keyword Planner– I didn’t start using this until recently but this tool really helped me a lot! It provides you with all the necessary information you need to conduct a keyword research.

There are many other great reasons to keep using SEO to get your blog name out there. If you feel overwhelmed or unsure about these tips, my next suggestion would be to hire someone to help you! RankCrew is your one stop shop for all SEO needs. They have over 16 years experience, affordable SEO services and packages depending on where your blog or brand is. You can create your account for free and then choose from one of their link building packages to help you obtain your top ranking in Google.
