Easy Come Easy Go....guitar pick necklaces...front page Google

I have no idea what happened....I really was on the top of the front page of the Google search for guitar pick necklaces. I just looked again and I'm not on top...in fact I searched guitar pick necklaces and I was bumped way back....how'd in the world did that happen?

I hadn't blogged on my blogspot site in a long time, so I was shocked when I did the guitar pick necklace search and saw my name at the top of the front page. So I thought to myself...I'll blog a little and see if that keeps me on the front page, then I went back and did a guitar pick necklace search and lo and behold....I was not there!

Who knows!!! Oh well....I had my few seconds of Glory! =) It was good while it lasted....by now it's gone....

Easy Come....Easy Go.......

I'm Front Page on Google Search for Guitar Pick Necklaces


Wow! I could hardly believe my eyes. I did a Google search for Guitar Pick Necklaces and lo and behold I was at the top of the list on the first page! How in the world did that happen? I have no idea....but all I can say is I'm really excited that it did happen!

Guitar pick necklaces are the jewelry that I've sold the most of over the last couple of years on Etsy. I've sold over 200 items and have enjoyed making the guitar pick necklaces more than anything else I've made!

The reason I love making guitar pick necklaces so much is because I love music! I love what music does for the human spirit. It really does touch the soul.

If you love music too or know someone who does, perhaps you'd like to pay my shop a visit: CharsBeads4u.com is the address. Hope to see ya there!

Give your earrings an antiqued look

The most common chemical for making silver earrings have that antiqued look is Liver of Sulfur. This is a common and safe chemical for jewelers who desire to give their silver earrings a nice patina. You can take a little lump of Liver of Sulfur and put into a small container of hot water. It will dissolve making a dark yellowish brown liquid that smells like rotten eggs! The silver earrings should be cleaned thoroughly to remove any oils, etc., and then this smelly solution is placed on the silver earrings with a small brush or cotton swab. After a while, the silver earrings will darken. The silver earrings are then rinsed and a buffing machine or good polishing cloth is gently used to remove the dark effect from highlights, which leaves the recesses with a nice antiqued look.

Some jewelers will obtain the same effect using chlorine bleach. This will darken the silver earrings but less effectively. A word of caution, chlorine can quickly damage white gold jewelry andThe most common chemical for making silver earrings have that antiqued look is Liver of Sulfur.

Learn why it's so important to stay hydrated

People don't realize how sick they can become if they don't stay hydrated! The whole body's wellness depends on keeping every cell in your hydrated. You can avoid many illnesses by staying hydrated with living water.

I wanted to learn more about this, so I began to search the YouTube videos and I came across this amazing doctor who teaches people why it's so important to keep hydrated. He actually explains being hydrated, and he gets right down to the nuts and bolts of our whole body's system and how it works!

I haven't really thought much about being hydrated until recently and now that I've learned how important it is to stay hydrated, it's all I want to read and learn about!

I hope you enjoy the following video, and I hope you learn a lot about staying hydrated and how the body functions! If you go on YouTube, you will find the full 7 videos in regards to good health! For some reason video #2 had been removed from YouTube.

Hidden toxins in our food

There are so many hidden toxins in our food; some which we can wash off with either a natural veggie wash you can buy at the health food store and some people swear by using a 12.5 ph water that is produce by a water ionizer machine. Either way, it's important for us to limit the toxins we know about, because there are so many toxins that are bombarding our immune systems!

I recently learned about the toxin known as MSG and how it can affect children with Autism. I had no idea this food additive was so bad! Many toxins sneak their way into our food chain through unsuspecting sources. Fast food places are notorious for using MSG to make you love their food and they know you'll be back for more because it tastes so good! They really don't care how the toxins they use in their food is affecting you or your children!

So, before you buy your next burger or chicken nuggets meal, think twice about what your putting in your body or your child's body. You have the power to make the choice! Make sure you make the right choice, for your and your child's health sake!

Can a Water Ionizer Help You Drink More Water?


My sister and brother in-law recently purchased a water ionizer and they called me to come over and fill up my five gallon container of water. Well, I thought to myself, "What could the water ionizer possibly do for me?" I went over to their home and they let me use the water ionizer to fill up my own five gallon jug. I took it home and began to drink the water.


I'm not one for drinking just water; I generally have to sweeten whatever I'm drinking; be it tea or lemon water. I always add Stevia sweetener, but there was something different about this water. It went down really smooth, tasted great and I was able to polish off a glass of it in just a few minutes and then wanted more! What had this water ionizer had done to the water? Well, they invited me to go to their website: http://bewell247.com/and read up on water ionizer machines. I found out they make alkaline water, which is very important because we as Americans eat very acidic foods and usually drink soda at every meal!


I have been going over to my sister's house once a week to re-fill the jug with the water from their water ionizer and I have to admit, I absolutely love the water and I haven't had a soda in five weeks, nor do I desire to drink one! I tried on a pair of pants that gaped about 4 inches one month ago and now I can fasten them with no problem!


So I'm thinking that maybe I need to purchase one of these water ionizer machines for myself! I have seen first hand what it's done for me and I've heard many testimonies that have convinced me that their is something to this alkaline water that this water ionizer machine has to offer. If it can help my body to heal itself, then I'm all for it!
