Many of you have asked where it is!<\/p>\n<p>Its still there but due to the size of the site (nearly 10 years of blog posts) we are figuring things out as to where\/how to put it on our new site. Eventually it will be on our new site but for now you can still visit the blog including all my old posts till way back when!\u00a0 Here is the website address to visit. I love referring back to old posts too so don&#8217;t you worry its not going anywhere!<\/p>\n<p>Right now on the new site, if you scroll down on home page, you will see the last four blogs. We have not yet imported all of them but expect to have this done in the next week. Will keep you posted!

Admittedly before it became so widely discussed, I didn&#8217;t exactly know it was. Since then I have been doing a little research.\u00a0 I was at a luncheon a few weeks ago and I got around to speaking to a functional nurse who was kind enough to tell us all about it and I was sold.<\/p>\n<p>She said you have to be really careful about what and where you buy it from. She said one of the ones that she recommends is made in the U.S.A., made in a GMP facility (regulated by the FDA) and third party tested. So yours truly has ordered what she recommended! There are a lot of dupes out there, but the original Rues Research. She said be very careful when <em>researching<\/em> so I ordered my first bottle from the site directly. I am curious to see what all the fuss is about!<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned I will be happy to share once I get it and start using it, if I feel more energetic, more clear headed, skin starts glowing and I am reversing in age, you will be sure to hear about it, haha !<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reusresearchs.com\/products\/reus-research?gad_source=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiApNW6BhD5ARIsACmEbkUNN8Qz8cnpyysW7y7M4jAC58ONy_4MSEJom4LzTjowfwgkPNpYaz0aAsCPEALw_wcB\"><strong><em>Click here to see what I ordered<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-127829\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-08-at-7.44.36\u202fAM-885x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-08-at-7.44.36\u202fAM-885x1024.png 885w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-08-at-7.44.36\u202fAM-259x300.png 259w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-08-at-7.44.36\u202fAM-768x888.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-08-at-7.44.36\u202fAM.png 1046w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>7 SUNDAY&#8217;S SURVEY<\/strong> I did something I really don&#8217;t like doing the other day,\u00a0 I went to the mall. I think I would rather go to the dentist than the mall.\u00a0 I just don&#8217;t like malls, they totally overwhelm me and are just too much to take in, over stimulation especially around the holidays.\u00a0 I like going into smaller stores or a dept store. However I was in search of a gift and it required a trip to one of our local malls. I braced myself for hordes of frantic Christmas shoppers and was very pleasantly surprised to see the mall not quite empty, but FAR less crowded that what I had expected.<\/p>\n<p>It was actually shocking. Does this mean malls are becoming a relic of the past and more people are shopping on line? It must, I mean this just 2 days ago, less than 3 weeks before Christmas. The mall should have been teaming with lines of people. It was really surprising but for me a pleasant one!\u00a0 The few gifts I have bought so far (only 4 and all for Phillip) were in person but I will be doing my fair share of ordering online. Curious if you have seen the same trend where you are and if you do most of your shopping online or in person?<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.polldaddy.com\/p\/14749862.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/poll.fm\/14749862\">Are your malls emptier than expected and how do you do your holiday shopping?
