Tips on where to get some great Natural products - Gift Box - JouwBox edition 10

Hi There..... Are you watching the Tour de France?

You may have guessed..... I’m not..... I am much more into Blogging..... Informing you on what I hope you find appealing 😀

Oh Yes..... I am still going on and on about this 'JouwBox' (gift box) I received recently..... There were so many great natural products in it..... I just can't help it..... Blame it on my mom and dad..... They are the ones that created me..... You really don't expect me to blame it on myself now..... Do you? 😲

If you really want to know what on earth I am talking about..... Here are 2 posts that I made on this 'JouwBox' (gift box) edition 10 before 

https://seadbeady.blogspot.com/2020/08/review-about-jouwbox-edition-10.html

https://seadbeady.blogspot.com/2020/08/tips-on-where-to-find-some-great.html

The more readers the merrier..... Right..... The first one focuses on a Deodorant Summer Breeze Roller and Hand cream with Shea Butter ..... And the second post is about Biological Green Tea with Ginger and Biological Cocoa Powder 😀

But there still are a few more things I want to brag about..... I know bragging is not that nice, but I already told you..... It's my mom and dad's fault 😁

Ok, let's get serious..... Today I wanted to tell you some more about the Natural white toothpaste from Oolaboo..... What does their website say about this Toothpaste..... It is enriched with lime flavor..... It's a 100% vegan product..... It is gluten-free and developed for effective cleaning of teeth and gums..... They do not use harmful ingredients such as SLS and Fluoride..... As an alternative to fluoride, they use Hydroxyapatite which is a constituent of tooth enamel and bone..... This provides a clearer, stronger, and smoother tooth surface..... Organic coconut oil acts as a natural cleaner and whitens teeth..... And it is also safe for the little ones 


That's a great quote..... Don't you agree 😁

I agree that it's a great thing that there are no harmful ingredients in this toothpaste..... But I really couldn't get that lime taste out of it I was actually hoping for..... I tried it for a week but am not a fan of the taste..... Sorry to say so..... It was neither bad nor good..... On the other hand; it made my teeth feel smooth, and that's pretty important to me too..... And no problems with my gums either, so that's another plus for them 😍

My second pick out of the box for today is the Vegetal Oil Emulsion from Piroche cosmetics..... What does their website say about this product..... It's a silky emulsion made from plant oils such as grapeseed oil..... It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids with a light, moisturizing texture that leaves the skin velvety and silky..... It helps maintain the skin's elasticity..... Nourishes and protects the skin..... You can use the emulsion as cleansing milk and as a body lotion..... It lends itself well as a massage product..... It can also be used as a base to add essential oils..... it is ideal for skin with eczema or parched flaky skin..... It can also be used for children or babies with eczema or dry skin.


Did you know that Archeological evidence of massage has been found in many ancient civilizations.....Ah..... Who doesn't long for a long relaxing massage..... No..... You won't get it from me..... Sorry 😁

On the other hand..... I am gonna tell you what it feels like after you had a massage with this emulsion..... Your skin really feels soft and fresh afterward..... I really have dry and flaky skin on the lower part of my legs and now they feel nice and smooth..... And my skin did not feel greasy at all afterward either..... So I am really pleased with this one 😍

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Tips on where to find great Biological Hot Drinks - JouwBox (Gift Box) edition 10

Hi There..... Have you been looking for a gift box full of natural products? Are you having a heatwave like we did last week? 

Or maybe just like here in Belgium, the weather has turned completely, and it is raining and even storming..... I suppose there is nothing better than a hot drink to warm you up again..... Maybe some tea or some hot cocoa perhaps 😍

It has been quite a while since I last had hot cocoa..... Why..... Because of my Gastric Bypass..... The last time I drank one I got dumping afterward..... Ah, You don't know what dumping is of course..... It happens when foods (especially sugars) move too quickly from the stomach to the first part of the small intestine..... That results in heavy cramps, feeling unwell, heavy sweating, feeling dizzy, and sometimes even vomiting..... Do you get my drift 😏

I can tell you there is nothing fun about dumping..... I really want to avoid having those..... So I was actually pretty happy that I received this Biological cacao powder from Mattison Healthstyle in my 'JouwBox' (gift box)..... You will have to read my previous blog post to know more about it..... https://seadbeady.blogspot.com/2020/08/review-about-jouwbox-edition-10.html 😊


So what does their website say about this cocoa powder..... You can use it to make hot cocoa or ad it to something you are baking or maybe to a smoothie..... It is Biological and it contains no added sugar or sweeteners and is rich in Magnesium..... It's a Vegan product and also free of Allergens  

Ah, now you are probably wondering..... Does it still taste good 😀

So I took some milk and added a bit of the powder and stirred it well..... Then I heated it in the microwave for a minute..... Depending on how cold your milk is of course..... I did seem to see some lumps when I took it out but they vanished after stirring again..... When I tasted it there seemed to be something missing..... So I added a small amount of honey to it..... And yes for sure it tasted great..... And no dumping afterward..... Oof what a relief..... And I am pretty sure it will work perfectly in baking processes too..... Especially for people that have to cut back on sugar 😋

Did you know that cocoa is also a powerful antioxidant..... They protect our bodies against free radicals..... Which is good for your health..... And did you also know that it makes you feel more positive and helps people get through stressful periods..... Don't feel bad that you didn't know..... Just grab a cup of cocoa 😁

But maybe you are more of a tea drinker..... Ok, no problem..... I have something for you too..... In my 'JouwBox' there was a packet of Biological Green tea with Ginger too..... I discovered green tea a few years ago and am a real fan of most flavors 😄 


So what does their website say about this tea..... It's a warming green tea with spicy ginger..... The tea comes from Yên Bái, Vietnam and Sekem, Egypt..... Bring water to a boil and let it cool down to 80 ° C ..... Pour into your mug and put the teabag in it and let it rest for about 3 to 5 minutes..... Ingredients: green tea, ginger, lemongrass, licorice root, and lime

Ok let's give it a try..... See how it tastes 😋 

I actually cheated a bit because I have no thermometer to measure up to 80 degrees..... I have a tea machine that has the perfect temperature for the perfect cup of tea..... I would be lying if I would say I got it right from the first time..... Leaving it rest for 5 minutes makes the tea too bitter for me but with 3 minutes it was just perfect..... And what makes it even better is a dash of lemon..... The only thing that's a hassle to me is to get the temperature right..... Otherwise, perfect for me..... The ginger taste is not too sharp and it gives me a warm glow afterward 😈

Oh yes..... Did you know that ginger has been used since ancient times to treat colds, fevers, and even digestive problems..... Haven't tried that out yet but it does make me feel all warm inside 😍

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Review about the 'JouwBox' edition 10 - Natural Products for Healthy Lifestyle

Hi There..... Were you looking for natural products for a healthy lifestyle? Do you have some time to spare?

I sure hope so because I have a lot to share with you? Especially if you are interested in all kinds of produce, from nutritional to body care 😃

I was one of the lucky people that received the 'JouwBox' to review..... And you can bet your bottom dollar that I wanted to share this with you..... So make yourself comfortable 😊

Maybe you haven't been introduced to this 'JouwBox' before..... No worries..... I am gonna tell you all about it..... It was put together by Ralph Moorman and Amber Alberda..... They have both been sending out the same message when it comes to health for about ten years now..... That nutrition and a healthy lifestyle are your best medicine..... They have written inspirational books on health, trained a lot of coaches, and have spoken at many Health events.

So they teamed up together to compose this special edition of 'JouwBox'..... This special box has been filled with their favorite natural products in the field of hair, skin, mouth, and also nutritional products and supplements. 


Aha..... Are you getting curious now..... Let me introduce you to all those great products 😉


Bee Honest - Shampoo bar & conditioner Jasmin & Propolis


ERICA - SILVER-DEO SUMMER BREEZE ROLLER


I DO! - Green tea with ginger

OOLABOO - natural white toothpaste

MATTISSON - Biological Cacao Powder

MUDMASKY® - Leave-me-on Autumn Mask

NATURAL HEROES - African Black Soap

PIROCHE - Vegetal Oil Emulsion

SEACRET - Hand Cream With Shea Butter

THE HEALTH FACTORY - Okinawa Mineralen


I am, however, going to split those up over several blog posts because I want all the products to get the necessary attention..... I think it is very important to give back..... As H. Jackson Brown Jr. said 'Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more' 😄

My first one today will be about the..... Silver Deo Summer Breeze Roller from ERICA..... What does their website say about this deo..... It's a deodorant with a pleasant oriental scent that gives you a fresh feeling..... Pure silver naturally works against bacteria..... The deodorant prevents the build-up of perspiration odor without closing the pores..... It is free from aluminum chlorohydrate..... All scents are made up of natural essential oils and extracts.


Sounds pretty good to me..... As long as the scents are real and not made up 😁

Well, I am gonna tell you right away..... They are not made up at all..... I always dive in nose first..... And this deo really smells very fresh..... I was worried that the roller might be sticky..... But was glad that it wasn't..... And yes..... I did sniff my armpits a couple of times to see if they kept fresh..... No, I am not posting a picture of my armpits..... You will just have to take my word for it that this deodorant does what it is supposed to do 😂

The second one today is about the..... Wait for it..... The hand cream with Shea Butter from Seacret..... What does their website say about this hand cream..... It is a good fit for all skin types..... It's a rich, moisturizing cream that softens the hands with a replenishing complex of vitamins, natural oils, and plant butters that deliver a long-lasting moisture boost and enhances the look of healthy skin..... Benefits are..... 1. It helps repair dry, damaged skin..... 2. It gets absorbed easily..... 3. It gives hands the long-lasting protection they need.



I would be thrilled with those kinds of traits too..... Especially in these times of Corona where you have to wash your hands more frequently 😊

Not sure if the skin on my hands differs from everyone else's..... But it works for my skin for sure..... I really felt like my hands needed some cream lately..... I added a new bedtime routine and now I always apply some hand cream before I go to bed, that way my hands are nice and soft the next morning..... The only thing I am not crazy about was the smell..... But it doesn't bother me that much because it was not quite that pronounced..... So, all in all, I am still very happy with it..... All's well that ends well..... Right 😄

Be sure to keep an eye on my blog to find out more about those other natural products from my 'JouwBox'

Oh yes..... Before I forget..... I still have an important message..... If you order at www.jouwbox.nl  today you get a free online course "gezonde gezinnen" (healthy families) worth 47€ extra..... So what are you waiting for 😊

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

7 Great Marketing Tools to Promote your Blog - Blogging Tips

Hi There..... Are you a blogger? Could you do with some blogging tips on where to find great marketing tools?


Ah..... Great to meet you..... Have you been blogging for long?

I have been at it now for 3 years and I have learned so much..... And I thought why not share some of my knowledge to make it easier for you..... Deep down I really have a good heart you know..... And that is not deep down under the ground 😋

But maybe like me in the beginning you are struggling to get your blog read..... I still am working on improving every day, so I thought why not share some blogging tips on how to find a few marketing tools? 😎

 Some people think..... Yes, I got the answer..... I will just start blogging and people will read my blog just like that..... Noooo..... You wish..... You have to work hard to get your blog out there 😃

So if that's what you were hoping..... You had better quit right now..... But if you are willing to work for it..... Here are the blogging tips I would like to share with you. 😊

Image made with https://www.canva.com/

1. Number 1 to start with is maybe getting email followers. 

Make sure that your blog page has the option for people to join your email list. There are a lot of programs too to help you with that..... Like for instance Mailchimp..... You can find a lot more of these tools just by typing in..... Email Marketing Tools for Bloggers 

2. Number 2 is making use of platforms.

Like for instance https://www.bloglovin.com/ ..... Another one is https://medium.com/.... And there are probably a lot more of those out there where you can share your blog..... You can promote some of them or all of them..... Like I do at the bottom of each blog post..... They will get you extra followers and this way potential readers..... Not every follower is Perse a reader too. 

Image made with https://www.canva.com/

3. Number 3 is making use of your Social Media like Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook..... 

Those are the most popular ones but there are a lot more of them. Make sure that once you publish a blog post you always share it at least once..... But you don't have to restrain yourself..... You can do more if you like..... I, for instance, promote 3 or more blog posts on Twitter daily.

4. Number 4 on my list is Facebook groups.

There are a lot of groups where you can promote your blog without having to do anything in return like https://www.facebook.com/groups/137850849757848/ ..... Try searching on Facebook starting with Blogger and choose the option groups to get all kinds of groups..... All you have to do now is join.

Image made with https://www.canva.com/

5. Number 5 for me is Tailwindapp 

(if you use this link we will both get a free $15 Tailwind credit when you upgrade to Plus) ..... And I especially love the tribes..... If you use the free option you can join up to 5 tribes and you get 30 submissions every month..... Haven't you always wanted to be in a tribe..... Well, this is your chance..... You can share your blog with the tribes but you will have to pin others in return.

6. Number 6 is important too..... Sharing on Pinterest group boards. 

I started one of my own some time ago https://nl.pinterest.com/seadbeady/bloggers-sharing-blogposts/ ..... You are free to join it if you like..... At the moment there are almost 200 people pinning to the board and there are new ones asking to join every week.

7. Number 7 is something that I heard from others but I actually haven't done myself.

Guest blogging..... It is best to find blogs in the same niche as yours..... Ask them to make a Guest blog..... Or you could try to find someone to exchange posts..... You make a post for them and they make one for you..... Don't forget to link to your own blog of course.

I sure hope that my blogging tips are helpful for you 😀

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Where to Find Handmade Gifts - Sun Catchers

Hi There..... Would you like to know where to find some handmade gifts like let's say sun catchers?


Are you having a heatwave too?

We are in the middle of one..... There is a code red announced up until Monday..... That means that everybody has to take it easy and drink a lot..... No not beer..... Water of course 😂

They say that here temperatures will be above 30 degrees up until Wednesday..... They can rise up to 37 even..... Way too hot for me..... I love soup but I don't want to be in it 😋

Did you know that the longest heatwave dates from 1947 and took 19 days..... Noooo..... I am not that old and wasn't there..... But I do very much remember 2018..... we had 2 heatwaves back then..... I am a fan of summer though..... And I very much love being on a terras sipping a cool drink in the sun 😀

But that's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about today..... The sun or more specific Sun Catchers..... Wikipedia says that it is believed that those suncatchers were first made by the Southwestern Native-Americans..... You could compare them to wind-chimes but instead of catching the wind suncatchers are designed to catch the sunlight 😎

I think they are so very cool and that's why I thought..... Let's go and find a few on Etsy to share them with you 😄

Fused Glass Rainbow Hanging - Glass Rainbow Suncatcher


Aren't they all lovely..... Did you know they had so many kinds of handmade suncatchers on Etsy..... And you can find a lot more of these if you just follow the links and browse their shops 😊

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great..... Sunny..... Day

Tips on How to be Creative During Lockdown and After - DIY Crafts - Crochet Basket

Hi There! Have you ever made a crochet basket? Are you interested in DIY crafts?


Picture by Seadbeady

As some of you may already know..... I am very creative. Ever since I was a kid and probably till the day I die 😁

No worries. I plan on being around for quite a while still.There is more than enough time left for me to play the fool 😋

For me, creativity is my therapy against the pain I daily have. I am pretty sure that many people use it to keep the stress from this pandemic of their mind too 😀

Things like DIY crafts, drawing, sewing, building things, or other creative activities reward your brain. Not only with what you made, of course. That's not what I meant. Creativity seems to release dopamine 😊

Ha, did you think I would leave it at that? I can see your face frowning. What on earth is this dopamine? 

Well, it's some kind of hormone and a neurotransmitter that plays a very important role in our brain and body. 

It gives you a sense of pleasure and reward. They say it relieves stress and reduces the tension that has build-up in your system. Cool, right? 😍

So you can imagine that I was happy to receive this gift from Beeeasycrafts..... I am really happy with the color and love the feel of this wool 

I got it along with the description on how to crochet a basket out of this yarn..... Oh yes, I have done a lot of knitting and crochet too when I was a young girl 😄

Below is a picture of the basket I am gonna make..... Looks pretty cool..... Don't you agree 😎


https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/820222759/beginner-mand-haak-kit

I will definitely be showing you the basket on my Instagram page once I have it finished..... But let me tell you a bit about this Beeeasycrafts shop first ..... They offer crochet, quilting, and vinyl..... They are an Ice Yarn reseller too..... They offer short how-to videos, product reviews and more 😄

Julie Ammon and her daughter in law Dakoda Hathaway both run the shop together..... Must be quite nice being able to do this together 😊

You can find a lot of their live sessions on their Facebook page ..... So be sure to head on over there if you are interested..... But hey wait..... You have to read the rest of my blog post first..... I still have to show you some of the things you can find in their shop 😁
