Sodan Custom Designs Birthday Gift Review

My birthday was back in June, and about a week ago my Mother gave me a late birthday present!  She asked my cousin, who works with his wife and recently started making beautiful decorative lighted bottles, to make me a custom decorative bottle.  I have to say, these bottles are beautiful.  My mother wanted one made with a moon and stars etched and painted on.  The lights used to illuminate the bottle are white christmas lights, and the glass is blue, making it look like a starry night.

Not lighted


With Lights

These beautiful creations can be found at Sodan Custom Designs!  They have already made ones, as well as are able to do custom designs.

Daily Highlight: Dark Energy and the Virus

Daily Highlight: Dark Energy and the Virus

Credit: NASA

So, I often have moments where I am sitting just thinking about things, and while doing this I noticed something about the idea of dark energy and viruses.  Dark Energy is a hypothetical form of energy that is continuing to accelerate and expand the universe at faster and faster rates. *  It seems to grow larger the greater the amount of dark energy.  Now if you look at the universe in the organic way, you start to see the similarities between the way bacteria and viruses work. The more you have of a bacteria the faster it can grow, because there are simply more bacteria to produce and replicate itself.  After noticing this, I began entertaining the idea that perhaps dark energy is the equivalent to a virus or bacteria infecting the universe.  If we look at the universe is an organic being, than perhaps we will be able to understand concepts and theories, like dark energy, in greater detail.  What do you think?

How To Get Tough Stains Out of Fabric Purses

Recently, I was at the hospital and when they took my IV out as I was leaving, I started bleeding quite a bit without noticing.  As I was leaving someone stopped me and I noticed my beautiful Brighton purse was covered in blood.  I was devastated and thought that it was ruined.  I did some research and nothing very helpful or convincing came up while searching online.  The one product that has been the most helpful in the past with stains is Oxiclean. I decided to go to the store and see what different Oxiclean products there were.

After looking around, I found the closest thing to what I thought might work, although hope was almost gone for my purse.  I decided on Oxiclean Max Force.  The directions say to spray it on and let it sit for 5 minutes to 7 days, and not wanting to take any chances I decided on letting it sit for 7 days.  I also made sure to spray it every so often throughout the day for all 7 days.  Once the 7 days was up, I took some Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover powder and added it to a bowl of warm water.  I used about a tablespoon for an average cereal sized bowl.  After mixing the water and powder together I started scrubbing my purse in circular motions and after a few minutes the stain just started coming out quite quickly. After I had gotten pretty much all of the stain out I took a hair dryer and dried it until it was just slightly damp, as I was to tired to do it more, and let the rest dry overnight.  Now, my purse looks cleaner on the side with the blood stain than the side that was unaffected!  This is a great way to clean your purse or clean out stains!

What you need:
  • Oxiclean Max Force
  • Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover
  • Warm Water

Daily Highlight: Different Dimensions and the Frequency of Energy


Daily Highlight: Different Dimensions and the Frequency of Energy



"Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics."
- Einstein, Credit HERE!

I saw this quote a few days ago and it got me thinking about alternate realities and how everything in our universe is energy at the basic level.  When we look at what makes up the smallest building blocks of life, we see energy, and all energy has a frequency.  If we change that frequency it is possible that our existence in this reality would cease, and we would be in an alternate dimension. I started thinking that if we were able to detect different energy frequencies from different dimension, we could theoretically influence our energy to a different frequency and transfer to another dimension. This quote also affirms the idea that we are all, on the basic level, part of the energy of the universe, and if it is possible to detect different energy frequencies, it may be possible to influence the energy in our own dimension to alter and potentially rewrite aspects of our universe.  Different dimensions open a world of wonder and possibility and I think they could be the key to understanding and obtaining a unifying theory of the universe.
