    ABOUT HUEL

    Huel, which is created from a combination of the words Human and Fuel, is what we believe to be the future of food. The world faces serious challenges over its food production. The meat industry produces more greenhouse gases than all the planes and cars in the world combined. 30% of all food in the USA is wasted. And despite having enough to feed the world 1.5 times over, 800 million people don’t have enough food to eat.

    This is where Huel comes in. We help solve all these problems by offering an ethical, 100% vegan, nutritionally complete product with no waste and a year long shelf life. Huel also has a low GI and very low sugar content, with no added sugar, no genetically modified ingredients, soy, eggs, dairy, meat and animal products at all. Yet despite all this, it still remains high in protein and fiber, with at least 100% of the Daily Values (DV) for all 27 essential vitamins and minerals.

    “The Solution for Dawdling Dog” Now Available on Amazon

    Kepley BioSystems is excited to announce that Kepley K9® Strategic Scent Stimulant is now available through Amazon.

    Whether late for work or class, or during inclement weather, most dog owners have experienced endless “sniffing” and searching before their dogs “go” when let outside or taken for a walk. Some have also known the worry of leaving their pet inside for the day after running out of time.

    A drop of Kepley K9 Strategic Scent stimulant applied to the dog’s paw when going outside provides the organic and botanical scents dogs seek before defecation. In field testing, 3 out of 4 handlers observed faster, more predictable results with routine use. These preliminary studies were published in an article entitled, “Olfactory Mediation of Canine Gastrointestinal Neurobiology” (Journal of Animal Health and Behavioural Science).

    Conducting behavioral assessment of Monty, a rescue available for adoption at the SPCA of the Triad in Greensboro, North Carolina.

    These specific molecules are increasingly rare in modern environments and virtually absent indoors, so Kepley K9 scents can help satisfy the dog’s “sniff-search” to stimulate excretion.

    “Focusing your dog right away can mean more time for playing or exercise for you and your pet, as well as reduce the risk of having to be left indoors without ‘going,'” said Kepley president Anthony Dellinger, “but we’re especially excited to work with the dogs at the SPCA of the Triad shelter, as the transition to a new home can require a dramatic adjustment from the kennel for any rescue.”

    By providing familiar “outdoor” scents when allowing access to an appropriate location, dogs can more confidently distinguish going outside from “indoor” space. Clearly communicating expectations can increase the rate of successful adoptions with fewer “accidents” that can result in rescues being relinquished back to shelters.

    “We want every adoption to be a celebration for the dog and new family,” said Kimberly White of the SPCA of the Triad. “We know that dogs ‘search’ for specific scents when they need to go, and we’re eager to see how this product can help our new owners and their dogs.”

    Kepley BioSystems is committed to helping ensure more “forever homes” and will match every purchase with a product donation to help newly adopted rescues. Visit: www.kepleyk9.com for more information.

    Have you heard about Scentbird? If you start reading our blog from a couple of years ago, you will remember this amazing luxury fragrance and beauty subscription service. I recommend about it in gift guide articles, and now I still recommend it because they partner with over 500 top brands, so you’ll receive 100% authentic scents every time!

    A great news about Scentbird, this premier fragrance/ beauty subscription service now delivering to 300,000 people a month, debuted last month a first-ever “Healing Crystal/ Gemstone Collection.” Featuring five masks with the natural healing powers of Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Citrine, Moonstone, and Black Onyx, the masks soothe, refresh and revive the skin. The capsule collection is designed to harness the unique holistic properties of gemstones, and target a variety of skin conditions, from anti-aging to inflammation. Whether looking for a moisturizing and nourishing treatment, cooling and calming or a warming skin detox, the Scentbird “Healing Crystal/ Gemstone Collection” offers a range of benefits and textures to personalize anyone’s skincare routine.

    “Over the past few years, I’ve been fascinated with the holistic properties of crystals,” said Mariya Nurislamova, CEO of Scentbird. “In developing the Crystal Face Mask capsule collection, we wanted to highlight the unique skin-healing powers of each gemstone and fuse them with complementary ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Centella Asiatica​. Everyone’s skin is different, and we really wanted to provide a range of textures and benefits to help beauty-lovers choose what works for them.

    Among the Masks are:

    Rose Quartz Nourishing Youth Mask

    Get supple, youthful-looking skin in no time with healing rose quartz. Rosehip Seed Oil provides intense nourishment, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while honey locks in moisture for a soft & smooth complexion. Rich in antioxidants and crushed rose quartz, this ultra-moisturizing mask helps plump and rejuvenate the skin’s natural glow.

    Amethyst Calming Cooling Mask

    A tranquil treat for tired skin, infused with calming amethyst. Powered by Centella Asiatica, a super-soothing white tea extract that helps to calm skin and reduce inflammation, our cooling mask offers sweet relief to sensitive & stressed skin. Lavender flower helps soothe & hydrate skin, while crushed amethyst crystals help banish redness and balance the complexion.

    Citrine Brightening Peel-Off Mask

    Banish imperfections and boost brilliance with radiant citrine. Energizing turmeric & Vitamin C help revitalize the appearance of dull & uneven skin, unveiling a more refined, refreshed and radiant complexion. A blend of crushed citrine and powerful antioxidants helps to ward off damaging free radicals, to brighten and firm the look and feel of skin.

    Moonstone Hydrating Sleeping Mask 

    Ethereal moonstone imparts dreamy, dewy skin, infused with light. The lightweight, pillow-proof formula boasts Hyaluronic Acid to lock in moisture to the skin, for a luminous, lit-from-within glow. Crushed moonstone crystals infuse skin with radiance, while fresh water lily soothes and moisturizes, for silky, supple skin.

    Black Onyx Warming Detox Mask

    Your ultimate skin protector, black onyx strips away pore-clogging dirt, oil and pollution to purify skin. Black silt helps reduce the look of pores & keeps oil at bay, all without stripping skin of essential moisture. The essential healing powers of black onyx and jasmine combine to enhance the skin’s natural elasticity.

    Have a lovely detox mask night with Scentbird’s Black Onyx Warming Detox Mask!

    The following every another night, I tried each one. I have to say, I love them all. First, the product is beautiful, the foam has glitters which add shining on your face; Second, it works so well, you will feel the difference right after you use it; The most important is, my skin is pretty sensitive, but I don’t feel any irritation from all these five items.

    Beautiful packs, I just want to display them at there.
