Natural product to relieve teething pain

Teething babies find relief at last!

Every parent knows the distinct sound of their little one’s tears when they are caused by teething pains – it is not a normal cry, whiny cry or even a sad cry, instead, it is a heart-wrenching, agonising sound. It is a sound that some parents listen to over and over again, every day, every night for what can be months on end.

Luckily the latest trend in natural teething pain relief has landed on the Costa del Sol. Teething amber necklaces have been used for centuries in cultures around the world to help soothe the teething pains that babies experience.

How does it work? Baltic amber is a powerful chakra cleanser and healer. At a physical level, is imbues the body with vitality and has the power to draw disease out of the body. By absorbing pain and negative energy, amber allows the body to rebalance and heal itself. A natural analgesic, amber will help calm a baby without resorting to drugs. Amber's natural anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties are perfect to soothe teething babies. Amber is fossilized resin, which warms against the skin, releasing its therapeutic properties safely and naturally.

13 steps to successful blogging

Everyone is talking about social media and how you use it to drive traffic to your website, promote your product and make money out of advertising. A blog is a powerful way to interact with your customers and potential customers, but it can be hard to get right.

I've found an interesting article all about it which includes 13 steps to take so that you can build a successful and profitable blog. It talks about choosing the subject matter, frequency of posting, how to drive traffic to it (particularly important) and the monitoring that needs to be done. Beware, blogging successfully does take time and commitment, but can pay dividends! Click here to read the article.
