Optical illusion reveals what kind of lover you are

Optical illusions exist to trick our mind into believing that we see something that doesn’t really exist or into lacking to see the obvious.

Either way, they are fun and trigger discussions. They also make us think deeply about their meaning and about what they truly represent.

The following optical illusion can help you determine what kind of lover you are based on what figure you notice first.

Being aware of this fact is sometimes crucial in building a relationship with someone.

Every bonding with the person we love is mostly grounded on communication and mutual understanding. The feelings involved are of course a crucial part of the decision to be with someone or not.

The following test will also reveal your personal method of showing your love.

This knowledge can deepen the romantic involvement with your other half and help you understand and appreciate your partner even more.

Now take a look at the image and note the first thing you notice.

These are the explanations based on your answer:

The Face:

If the face is the first thing you notice, it shows that you are determined and have your goals straight in life. You always have a plan about your next move that you are ready to fulfill with unshakable confidence. You have a reputation that you are often correct and you are born to be a leader.

As a lover, you believe that finding the time to spend together with the person you love is crucial for a successful relationship. Having someone find the time for you besides their hectic schedule is a valuable love expression. But you are wiling to do the same and make your loved one a priority.

The Trees:

You are likely someone who experienced emotional heartbreak in the past and when there comes the time for a new love, you carry the baggage from your previous love experience. You are a sensitive individual and what doesn’t leave a mark on someone else can entirely take up your mind for a long time. However, besides the scars, you don’t lose hope.

As a lover, you believe that a relationship works best if you open up. When you share your pain and deepest fears with the person you are with, you experience something deep and meaningful. To you, even a shred of emotional availability is immensely appreciated.

The Wolf:

You are likely defined as someone passionate and someone who has no lack of confidence when it comes to initiating your love desires. You are also an initiator of a great party and now how to make people feel comfortable around you. Always at the center of attention with your wit.

Your love language is physical touch. You are passionate and the physical acts of intimate love-making mean much more than words to you. The reason for this is because you have learned much more from actions than you ever did from words. You show your love to your partner through sweet and tiny physical gestures. Playing rough occasionally is your thing, but it is the gentle cuddling and nuzzling that let your soft side shine.

The Moon:

You are a dreamer who loves dancing and writing, as well as appreciating other people’s expression of these forms of art. You find inspiration in the world’s creative and spiritual side.

You express your love through art. As a lover, all of your creative work has something from your loved one tied into it. If you write a poem, you consider it an act of dedication, while a painting incorporates elements of the way your partner looks like, such as the color of their hair or eyes. Before you express your love, you need to be sure it’s the right thing.

The House:

What you seek in a relationship is the security you feel at home. You are someone who finds happiness in being mostly at home with the one you love. A perfect scene for you is sitting in front of a fire, wrapped in a blanket and feeling the coziness of your place.

You show your love by providing for the person you are with. When they are hungry, you are happy to go to the kitchen and prepare a delicious meal for them. This small act is your secret and personal method of telling the person exactly how much you adore them and how much they mean to you.

Harnessing the power of nettle fertilizer pesticide for sustainable agriculture

The stinging nettle plant (Urtica dioica) is one of the six subspecies within the Urtica genus that is found in Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America.

Used in various dishes, because of their similar flavor to spinach, nettle found its way into soups, pesto, polenta, tea, and more.

This plant appears in the spring and dies down in winter. For it to grow, it requires moist soil.

The research on nettle and its health benefits on the human body are limited, but what is known is that it is rich in amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. Nettle products are used to help reduce inflammation and improve hay fever symptoms. They interact with medications including blood thinners, diuretics, and lithium, but pregnant women are advised not to include it in their diet because of the increased risk of miscarriage.

Nettles are also a favorite food for many insects, many of which are extremely beneficial to home gardens, like ladybugs and pollinators. At the same time, they contain compounds like histamine, formic acid, and lectins that can serve as a natural pesticide against thrips, spider mites, and aphids.

Another widely spread usage of nettle is that of a fertilizers. As such, it’s mainly used on young plants to aid their growth. Once the plants grow, it would be for the best to turn to another fertilizer, but you can still use the nettle fertilizers with some plants such as cabbage and lettuce.

This is how to prepare it:

First thing first, you should harvest it using thick gloves because of the hollow needles of the plant which can cause stings and rushed that are harmless but still uncomfortable. Use small pruners or scissors to cut off the stalks of the nettles and pick enough to fill a five-gallon bucket. 

Chop up the nettle stalks into a mulch that would fill about half of the bucket. Next, fill the bucket with non-chlorinated water such as rainwater and mix it well. Then, cover the bucket but don’t seal it and then stir every couple of hours. When you notice bubbles, it means that the mixture is fermenting.

Make sure you keep the bucket outdoors because of the distinctive smell.

Around 10 to 14 days later, when the bubbling stops, it means the fertilizers is ready to use.

Using a strainer, a funnel, or a cheesecloth, strain the tea. The solids can be used for compost, while the liquid as a fertilizer for your garden.

This is how to use it:

What you should have in mind is that this fertilizer is extremely concentrated and should be diluted with water. The ratio is 1:10, or a one cup of fertilizer to 10 cups of water. Once you prepare it this way, use it directly to the base of the plants every three to four weeks. Too much exposure can cause fertilizer burn.

Another way to use the tea is as a foliar spray, using the ratio of 1:20 (one part fertilizer to 20 parts of water). When used as a spray, nettle tea can ward off pests. However, make sure you don’t use it on flowering plants.

If you want to try this but can’t find any nettle plants nearby, you can simply buy a nettle extract and use it the same way.

In case you touch the nettle with bare skin and you get rashes, this is how to treat it properly. First and foremost, in case you are allergic, don’t try anything at home but consult your doctor.

Don’t touch the rashes but let the chemicals dry out for around 10 minutes. Then, use a tape to get rid of any needles from the skin. Use a cool compress for relief, or dab (not rub) aloe vera, creams with hydrocortisone, or a baking soda and water paste onto the area.

Shannen Doherty shares another more intimate look at her battle with cancer: ‘This is what cancer can look like’

Shannen Doherty remains a symbol of resilience and courage. Recently, the Beverly Hills 90210 star opened about her battle with cancer once again and updated her fans of her condition, and unfortunately, she shared some devastating news.

Doherty’s stage four breast cancer spread to her brain.

She beat cancer once, but was diagnosed again in February 2019. Ever since, she documents her journey and speaks openly of the challenges life with cancer brings.

On Tuesday, Doherty posted a video on her Instagram account of her receiving treatment as tears filled her eyes. The caption on the video began, “January 12, 2023.”

“On January 5th, my ct scan showed Mets in my brain. Yesterdays video was showing the process of getting fitted for the mask which you wear during radiation to your brain,” the caption reads. “January 12, the first round of radiation took place.

“My fear is obvious. I am extremely claustrophobic and there was a lot going on in my life,” Doherty, 52, wrote. “I am fortunate as I have great doctors like Dr Amin (Mirhadi) and the amazing techs at cedar sinai. But that fear…. The turmoil….. the timing of it all…. This is what cancer can look like.”

A day before, she posted a throwback video from January on which she was getting fitted for a thermoplastic mask that covered her face and neck.

In another video, taken on January 16, the actress says, “January 16, 2023. Surgery. I had a tumor in my head they wanted to remove and also biopsy.”

She could then be heard speaking off-camera to a woman, probably a nurse, who’s checking on her limbs and tells her what to expect post-op.

“I am clearly trying to be brave but I am petrified,” Doherty wrote. “The fear was overwhelming to me. Scared of all possible bad outcomes, worried about leaving my mom and how that would impact her. Worried that I would come out of surgery not me anymore.”

Doherty’s friends showed their support and posted encouraging messages.

Director Kevin Smith sent her a heartfelt message calling her his “irreplaceable friend.” “Rooting for you, my irreplaceable friend. You have been such a fearless fighter your whole life, so it’s understandable to be a little scared from time to time. But when those moments pass, let that indomitable Doherty spirit take over anew. I love you so much, my Mallrat,” he wrote.

Selma Blair wished for “wise peace” to find Shannen Dohety amid her cancer battle. Sarah Michelle Gellar was among those who came out in support for the Charmed actress.

Doherty herself posted a series of photos from her friends, including Gellar and thank them for their immense support. In a previous post, the actress referred to her mother as to “a beacon of light, an endless well of support and love, and one of my favorite humans.”

Following her initial diagnosis in 2015, Doherty sued her former manager of leaving her without health insurance which caused a delay in doctors diagnosing her with breast cancer. It was later revealed that she has reached a settlement.

We truly hope Shannen Doherty would end up the winner in her battle against cancer.

Woman left instructions for the repairman but he decided not to listen

The truth is that men don’t always listen! No matter what you say, they still do what they believe is the right thing.

Sadly, this was true for a handyman who went to fix a woman’s dishwasher. Of course, when these people do repairmen in other people’s houses, they never really knew what they will stumble upon. But this particular handyman was given clear instructions on what not to do that particular day.

Read the story below.

Laura’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you a check.

“Oh, by the way, don’t worry about my bulldog, Bob. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot! I repeat, do not talk to my parrot!”

When the repairman arrived at Laura’s apartment the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking bulldog he has ever seen. But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work.

The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing, and name-calling.

Finally, the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up you stupid, ugly bird!”

To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Bob!”

We hope this gave you a good laugh.

Turmeric Honey: The most powerful antibiotic that not even doctors can explain

Home remedies, especially those used for centuries and passed down from generation to generation, can have strong healing powers.

Take turmeric and honey for example. These ingredients are enough powerful by themselves, but when combined together, they create an elixir that offers numerous health benefits.

It is a well known fact that honey has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant properties and it is best to use it unprocessed.

For one, honey is an alternative treatment for eczema, wound healing, gastrointestinal problems, heart disease, and diabetes. Some studies suggest that honey also possesses properties that can help fight tumors. It also fights different bacteria, such as strains of Salmonella entericaE. coli, and Staphylococcus aureus

The list of the benefits it provides to the human body is endless.

Turmeric is yet another plant that is so versatile that it’s found its way not only in the cuisines of many countries, but also in the cosmetic industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and more.

Among the rest, turmeric contains protective compounds, including curcumin, has anti-oxidant properties that may help the body combat inflammation, can help ease arthritis, can help limit the growth of cancerous cells, protects cells from damage, and reduces the signs of ageing.

Below is a simple yet powerful recipe made with only three ingredients; Honey, turmeric, and some black pepper.

1 teaspoon powdered turmeric
2 tbsp pure honey (raw honey preferred) a pinch freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:
Combine 1 teaspoon turmeric powder and 2 tablespoons honey in a small bowl. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. The black pepper boosts the bioavailability of turmeric’s curcumin, helping your body to absorb it more effectively.

Thoroughly combine:

Stir the ingredients together thoroughly until they form a smooth paste.
Pour the mixture into an airtight jar or container for storage. To maintain freshness, store in a cool, dry place, ideally the refrigerator.

Application:

As a natural antibiotic: Take 1 teaspoon of turmeric honey if you have symptoms of a cold or infection to improve your immune system and reduce inflammation.
As an anti-inflammatory: Apply this combination to irritated skin areas to reduce itching, redness, and swelling.
As a soothing tea: Simply combine a spoonful of turmeric honey with a cup of warm water.

Before consuming this powerful mixture please consult your doctor, especially if you suffer from any allergies found in turmeric and honey.

A man went to visit his 90-year-old grandfather

Elderly people have witnessed so much more than we have. For one, they are wise, smart, and very fun to be around. Well, at least most times.

We are sure the following joke will put a smile on your face. It involves a 90-year-old grandpa and his grandson who paid him a visit he’ll remember for the rest of his life.
Continue…

A man went to visit his 90-year-old grandfather in a very secluded rural area of the state he lived in.

After spending the night, his grandfather prepared breakfast for him consisting of eggs and bacon.

He noticed a film-like substance on his plate and he questioned his grandfather, “Are these plates clean?”

His grandfather replied, “Those plates are as clean as cold water can get them, so go on and finish your meal.”

That afternoon, while eating the hamburgers his grandfather made for lunch, he noticed tiny specks around the edge of his plate and a substance that looked like dried egg yokes, so he asks again, “Are you sure these plates are clean?”

Without looking up from his hamburger, the grandfather says, “I told you before; those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don’t ask me about it anymore!”

Later that afternoon, he was on his way out to get dinner in a nearby town. As he was leaving, his grandfather’s dog started to growl and wouldn’t let him pass so he said, “Grandfather, your dog won’t let me out.”

Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV his grandfather shouted, “Cold Water, Go lay down!”

Marie Osmond accused of looking like Kim Kardashian after plastic surgery rumors

Through her singing and incredible vocals, as well as her dancing, acting, and authorship, Marie Osmond became a superstar years ago.

The only girl among the eight brothers, Marie joined the group Osmond Brothers when she was just four. She, however, wasn’t a regular during the group’s television performances through the 1960s. At the age of 12, Marie started her solo career and had her first recording session which she later described as terrifying. “It was a full orchestra and rhythm section. I was the only Osmond girl, what if I failed?” she told Daily Mail in 2015. “So I threw up! Then I went in and sang.”

At the age of just 14, Marie released the single Paper Roses which reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart. From that moment on, her career flourished and she has remained part of the industry for over six decades.

In 1975, she and brother Donny teamed up for the TV show Donny & Marie where the two sang and co-hosted. The show which hosted famous names like Chuck Berry, Paul Anka, Sonny & Cher and Olivia Newton-John always ended with the siblings signing May Tomorrow Be a Perfect Day.

From 2008 up until 2019, the singing duo performed at the Flamingo Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Marie, just like her mom, had many children. She was married three times, twice to the same husband, basketball player Steve Lyle Craig. The two had one child, son Stephen Jr.

With second husband Brian Blosil, Marie had two biological and five adopted children, making her a mom of eight.

She and Brian lost son Michael to suicide in 2010. Her fans were surprised to see her getting back on stage just weeks after the tragic incident.

Marie recalled the moment she learned of her son’s passing. She had just finished a performance at the Flamingo Las Vegas when she got a call from her security guard back home. He told her that some people from the Coroner’s office were there to see her.

“I knew it was Mike,” Marie told Oprah later in an interview.

Marie reunited onstage with her brother during one of Danny’s Las Vegas shows in November last year.

The duo performed their hit song I’m A Little Bit Country, I’m A Little Bit Rock’ N’ Roll together. With the caption “Together Again” Donny posted a photo of him and his sister.

He said: “Words cannot express how great it was to see my sweet sister at my show on Saturday night at Harrah’s Las Vegas.

“During the Request Segment of my show, someone yelled out, ‘Sing I’m A Little Bit Country, I’m A Little Bit Rock & Roll.’ I went out to the booth where Marie was sitting, and we sang our theme song once again together. The crowd went wild. I wish everyone could have seen it. I’ll remember that moment for the rest of my life. Thank you, Sis. I love you.”

Marie released her latest album, Unexpected, in 2021.

“This is my sixth decade of working and to be a female that’s been able to work every year consistently has just been mind-boggling to me and very much appreciated by my fans,” she told the Toledo Blade. “This album I did strictly to push myself. Some people play multiple instruments, I do multiple singing styles.

“As a child, I was the weird Osmond because I enjoyed all different kinds of music,” she continued. “Yes, I’m country; that’s what I chose to be, but it was very easy for me to sing pop because my brothers did. But I loved country, and I loved the realism and the lyrics, and I loved that women could have lives and children and families and still have a career.”

Along being a successful musician, Marie has also created the product line MD Complete, designed to provide skin care results at dermatologist-level.

She claims she uses her line and that’s the reason behind her youthful looks.

“I’ve been in entertainment for years, under bright lights and wearing heavy makeup so my skin needs a little extra help,” she explained. 

“[The line] matches laser treatments—this product is like laser in a bottle,” Marie added. “The side-by-side images of what it can do are amazing.”

Marie has also admitted of undergoing an in-office treatment and a single plastic surgery when she went under the knife to reduce the size of her breasts. “I had very large breasts,” Marie revealed in 2013. “I had a breast reduction. I was my mother’s daughter. I was, like, twenty-something. When I did Sound of Music, all they did was talk about the hills were alive! That’s all they saw were my boobs. I was like an E cup.” 

However, besides the singer’s claims that she had never done any procedures on her face, her fans believe just the opposite.

In December of last year, Marie posted a photo of herself and she resembled a completely different person.

“As women, our bodies change as we age, and it’s not as easy to lose weight anymore,” Marie Osmond captioned her post. “What worked before may not work anymore. That’s why I teamed up with the experts @nutrisystem to help develop a plan specifically for Women ages 55+.”

Her fans were far from happy with her new looks, with one of them writing that she’s “one step away from looking like Michael Jackson.” 

“Never thought Marie Osmond Would be so [vain] to mess up her once beautiful face!” another person wrote, as reported by Yahoo. 

“OK, you’re a beautiful woman! Stop putting all those fillers into your lips,” a third added. 

“That don’t even look like you! You must [have] had [too] many facelifts,” someone claimed. 

“You look like Kim Kardashian now,” was another comment.

Marie hasn’t responded to the accusations but we honestly believe that as long as she feels good in her skin, she can do whatever she pleases.

Mom causes heated debate by putting young daughter on leash at grocery store

There is no such a thing as perfect parenting. What works with one child, doesn’t feel right with another, it all depends on the child’s character and how his or her parents want that child to be raised.

The truth is that, oftentimes, parents are judged because of their parenting style which is dubbed by others as wrong.

A mother named Alexis Solis, a former behavioral analysis therapist, received backlash by social media users after she released a video of herself and her daughter going shopping. The reason why is that her child was on a leash.

In no time, Alexis, who is from Los Banos, California, triggered a heated argument online as her video reached over 12 million views.

This mother of two claims she utilizes her online presence to spread awareness of child endangerment.

“I’m tired of the world being this way but I’m never tired of protecting my girls,” she captioned the clip on which she could be seen attaching a leash on her daughter’s hand.

“I’m okay looking like a crazy mom. As long as my babies are safe and thanks to everyone I freaking love this thing.”

As expected, she was attacked by many social media users who questioned her parenting.

“I hope they leash her when she’s 50,” one person wrote.

“I hate those,” another added.

However, in a follow up video, Alexis clarified that the leash is ideal for kids who have a tendency to run away.

“I used to work with children on the spectrum. I don’t share this about myself very often, but I was an ABA therapist,” she said.  

“Something that’s common with children who have autism is they do tend to elope. If you’re not familiar with what elopement is, that’s when a child tends to wander off or run away from the parent or the environment.   

“Now, this can be very traumatic for both the child and the parent. I know that if I had this device when I was working with families, this would have made life so much safer.”
