To Wear a Mask or Not - Video Experiment with a Doctor and a Reporter

This was sent to us by a friend, who also happens to be a TSA professional. It made an impression on us, and may on you as well. 

The doctor takes various samples of the reporter with his mask on or off, talking, breathing, singing, coughing at close range and at social distancing. 

We hope that you and your loved ones are staying safe, well and happy! 

Please take care.

Enchanting Art That Will Make You SMILE!

Adorable Animal Pen & Ink Prints by Renee

As summer (or winter in the Southern Hemisphere) begins, you may feel an urge to shake off all the negativity that has hung heavily over the world and our lives for months. To celebrate the Summer (or Winter) Solstice,  You probably now have urgently needed essentials, as toilet paper, hand sanitizer and masks, to protect you and your family from COVID-19 or any other health threats. You are also being very careful when out and about, practicing social distancing.

What better way to celebrate the new beginnings than to bring laughter and charm into your environment! As baby steps seem to be the norm, adding a bit of art to your home or office may be a way to begin the new normal, while embracing all that is precious of the old normal.

We love and suggest adding a whimsical bit of nature, as these adorable animal Pen & Ink Prints:

Everyone who had Hair issues could take cues from this Alpaca Teen:

 or Elegant Llama 

Dispositions needing adjustments would surely warm in the presence of this Young Bear

or Bright-Eyed Giraffe 

Find these and other beautiful prints as well as original acrylic art by Renee on Etsy or on Bonanza!

As our family loves to visit the sea, ocean to renew, this is one of our favorites: a Sea Turtle!

As you can see, Renee is a very talented and accomplished Artist. Here in her own words is a bit more about her:

     I am an artist. The first thing I ever asked for as a small child was watercolor paints. I sold my first commission piece in pastels at the age of 13. I have worked in many medias and am currently working with both acrylic painting and pen and ink.

From Catherine: "At SHADOW DOG DESIGNS, you will find beautifully unique handmade jewelry with a definite boho flair. Since I am a self-proclaimed science geek - especially with biology and geology - I have had a lifelong love affair with Mother Nature. A strong desire to create is satisfied by designing one of a kind, Nature-inspired jewelry using semi-precious gemstones, sterling silver, copper and a whole host of other interesting and fun elements. I hope you love wearing my jewelry as much as I love carefully fashioning each and every piece."
