In this video, as a 20+ year esthetician, I explain the potential risks of Meghan's DIY Bath Salt Soak recipe from Episode #1 of her "With Love Meghan" series (Season 1) and why you should NOT try her method for yourself WITHOUT knowledge of essential oils and their potential risks! There MAY be the potential for skin irritations if you use an essential oil ON ITS OWN without using "carrier oils" - and I explain this in detail in the video. In episode 1 of her series, Meghan makes a DIY at home bath salt soak recipe, but I realized that there is potential for someone to get confused with the ingredients she uses. Essential oils are volatile plant compounds that may have the potential to irritate people's skin, especially those who are particularly sensitive! In Ep. 1 of With Love, Meghan, where we see her make up her bath salt recipe, Meghan MAY have used an essential oil MIXED with a carrier oil, BUT she does NOT clarify this- so I am here to help you minimize the potential risks of making this recipe -advising you on what to do and what NOT to do if you attempt to try this at home. EDIT - Someone mentioned in my YT comments that she also used Pink Himalayan Salt in her mixture- that is totally FINE to use if you want to! Although note - that Himalayan pink salt does NOT dissolve into water as readily as Epsom salt (due to its chemical composition) so there is a potential that Himalayan pink salt MAY leave someone with dry to very dry to sensitive skin drier after soaking in it. Personally- I wouldn't bother with the pink salt she uses- save that for other things like cooking if you like that. ALSO- for those questioning if salt itself is water based - YES - H2O is a major component of salt - and Epsom Salt contains a little over 50% water in its composition. Here's a much SAFER RECIPE - 1- 2 cups Epsom Salt (measured) Mix very thoroughly into the salt - 1-2 drops of your favorite Essential oil WITH 8-10 drops of a good carrier oil (like jojoba, argan, almond oil, etc.) Put a lid on the mixture and use within 1-3 days max) NOTE - IF you like and can tolerate a stronger scent and want to use more Essential oil, then remember - for every 1-2 drops of essential oil you add, you MUST remember to add 8-10 more drops of carrier oil as well. I wouldn't recommend using more than 6-8 drops of your ESSENTIAL OIL in total - That way you avoid potential future irritations. When in doubt patch test for at least 24 hours prior to using any kind of oil (essential or not) on your skin- and that goes for any cosmetic preparations!

From DIY backcountry grinds to chats with the legends who've been stacking up big bulls for years, we've got the stories, tips, and tactics to fire you up for September. In this killer episode, I sit down with Tom – an absolute beast in the woods who's one of the most underrated elk slayers out there. We dive deep into his solo hunt this year where he arrows a solid herd bull in thick timber, sharing the play-by-play on how he closed the deal without a caller. Tom breaks down his evolution from chasing runners as a kid to mastering herd bull setups, reading elk behavior like a book, and turning midday lulls into prime opportunities. We talk real talk on solo strategies – from minimal bugling to let curiosity do the work, to raking, wind plays, and picking your battlefield. If you're grinding solo or just want to level up your game, this one's packed with nuggets that'll have you rethinking your next setup.

Key Takeaways Let Curiosity Work for You: Instead of constant bugling duels, go silent or minimal after initial contact – elk often come in closer when they're unsure of your exact location, giving you better shot opportunities without getting pinned. Read the Herd Dynamics: Not all "runners" are the bull fleeing; often it's the cows leading the charge. Listen to bugle types to tell if the bull's talking to you or just herding cows, and wait for midday bedding to force a confrontation. Persistence Pays in Midday Lulls: Don't bail after morning action quiets – stick on a herd all day, pack food/water, and capitalize on bedding areas. Bulls are more callable once cows settle, turning long chases into kills.

Lightning in a Bottle – A Love Letter to Asbury Lanes is a raw, intimate, and unfiltered photographic chronicle of one of New Jersey's most beloved underground venues. Shot over 11 years by photographer Mike McLaughlin, the book captures the heart and soul of Asbury Lanes, in the heart of Asbury Park—a vintage bowling alley turned DIY music venue—before its redevelopment in 2015.We had the opportunity to talk long-distance with Mike McLaughlin, a fantastic photographer with a catalog of images documenting "The Old" Asbury Lanes. Home to the party faithful and wayward souls, Asbury Lanes was, for a time, the coolest place to both play and spectate. Asbury Park's version of Max's Kansas City and CBGBs, The Lanes was a safe place for those who needed safe spaces to dance, sing, and create. Mike talked about his start in photography and his time at Asbury Lanes. And like everything else in life, he talked about when it was time to move on, and somehow land in Italy.

A spark of madness is often the first step toward creation. On today's episode, we welcome Bojan Dulabic, a passionate Vancouver-based filmmaker who pulled off a small miracle—he made a full-length zombie movie for just $5,000. But this isn't just a story of budgeting brilliance; it's a tale of relentless passion, artistic vision, and the kind of self-taught wisdom you can't get in film school.Born in Bosnia, raised in Germany and Croatia, and finally settled in Canada, Bojan Dulabic's journey into filmmaking is stitched together by war, displacement, and a child's fascination with VHS tapes in his mother's shop. His early life sounds like something out of a global coming-of-age novel. And perhaps that nomadic upbringing seeded in him a gift for observation—a key trait in any great storyteller. When he finally turned his teenage creativity into a film project in high school, something clicked. Not just the shutter on a camera, but the internal compass of a man who knew he had to follow the path of cinema, even if it meant doing it on his own terms.This wasn't a journey paved in gold. His first feature, shot for $4,000, was a comedy that taught him the ropes. His follow-up? A feature-length zombie film titled Project Eugenics.What could have been a cliché genre dive instead becomes a thoughtful narrative on misinformation, the chaos of modern life, and yes—zombies as metaphors. “To me, a zombie flick... it's not about the zombies. It's always about something else,” Bojan reflects. In his hands, the walking dead become symbols of mass confusion, manipulation, and the blurred lines of truth in our hyper-connected world.There is a playful seriousness to Bojan's philosophy. He reveres Romero and admires Rodriguez, but he walks his own road. Like Alan Watts would muse about the dancer and the dance, Bojan seems less concerned with final outcomes and more with being in the creative flow—tripping over obstacles and finding meaning in the madness. He shares stories of juggling a wedding, a tight shooting schedule, and DIY visual effects like a magician with duct tape. His secret? A mindset that embraces “safe confusion”—a term borrowed from Tarantino—that invites the audience into mystery without losing them.What's more, Bojan brings a rare humility to the table. He speaks about his cast and crew with deep respect, understanding that low-budget filmmaking doesn't give you the license to burn out others for your dream. His actors often worked just a few days, each scene scheduled with precision.His respect for time, energy, and goodwill may be the real reason his film came together. For him, filmmaking is not just a creative act but a spiritual contract—with himself, with his collaborators, and with the audience.This podcast isn't just a technical breakdown of low-budget indie cinema. It's a spiritual blueprint for artists who feel the fire but lack the funds. Bojan's approach is radical because it's so simple: take stock of what you have, and build from there. Whether it's stock footage, free VFX plugins, or your friend's living room—use it. More importantly, finish it. Don't wait for permission. Make your movie now.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and this morning we're cranking out Part 2 of the Pantry Sauce series. Last time we hit the classics — brown gravy, white gravy, and curry — the stuff that keeps morale high when the pantry's looking rough. Today, we're going international and versatile — diving into mustard, tomato, teriyaki, satay, and cheese sauces, all made from long-term storage ingredients. You don't need fresh milk or fancy condiments — just shelf-stable pantry goods and a little DIY grit. Because bland rice and beans should never break your spirit.

Send us a textThe room glowed with warm orange light, a full house gathered to celebrate five years of Girls Twiddling Knobs and to witness a bold closing chapter. We brought a live panel to the stage to ask a deceptively simple question: are music technology skills truly crucial for women and gender-diverse artists? What followed was honest, funny, and disarmingly practical—stories about safety in studios, DIY learning, pricing your worth, and the power of choosing collaborators who actually listen.Karen Sutton (Oram Awards) mapped the tough terrain of funding and why mentoring fills the gaps that DIY routes can't always bridge. Rooks, aka Jenny Bulcraig (2% Rising), shared how artists are rejecting microaggressions and confusion in sessions in favor of producers who offer clarity, consent, and better results. afromerm, aka Cecilia Morgan, unpacked how growing technical fluency turns doubt into calm agency on stage, even when met with patronising questions. Glade Marie (Saffron) spoke to intuition, community, and using brand gigs to bankroll creative freedom without apology. Together, we explored how tech skills change careers, why safer spaces are non-negotiable, and how to build sustainable models when institutions look away.We don't pretend the landscape is fair. Arts funding is shaky. Industry gatekeepers still overlook what doesn't fit a KPI. But the path forward is clear: learn the tools that center your voice, set boundaries around money and time, and build the rooms where more of us can thrive. As we prepare a short final season—answering why we're closing and what we've learned—we're archiving the work and passing the torch to the many initiatives pushing this movement forward.If you've ever felt othered in a studio, underpaid for your craft, or unsure how to start charging for your expertise, this conversation is a compass. Listen, share, and tell us the boundary you're setting next.

On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian dive into the all-too-common portfolio "Frankenstein"—a scattered mix of accounts with zero strategy. They lay out the fixes, from consolidation to coordinated tax planning. They also explore how too much cash can drag down your returns, when DIY investing becomes an SOS moment, and how overlooked tax traps silently siphon wealth. Plus, they tackle 50-year mortgages, blurred lines between investing and gambling, and how Google profits from your personal data—along with how to push back. From ETF overlap and buffered products to tax-efficient investing strategies for high-net-worth households, it’s a jam-packed episode full of insight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Yup... I tried the “white powder” every pro whispers about—and almost ruined a race.I road-tested baking soda for running: what it is, how it buffers lactate, and where it actually helps. I break down the science in plain English, show my four real-world tests (including a DIY version of the pricey pro formula), and map out who should even consider it. You'll see the trade-offs—timing, dose, gut risk—and when a tiny 1–3% bump is worth the stress. If you're chasing short, hard efforts, there's a smart way to run the experiment. If you're not, there's a better place to put your energy.Key TakeawaysBaking soda can help in short, hard efforts (about 30 seconds to 12 minutes).Dose and timing matter; gut issues are common and can ruin race day.Test a system in training; for most runners, consistent training beats supplements.Timestamps[00:00:38] How Baking Soda Works for Runners [00:02:02] Do This To Help Another Runner [00:02:32] The Science Behind Baking Soda Buffering In Running [00:04:46] Experiment 1: This Actually Works [00:06:39] Use This To Make Your Own Baking Soda and Run Faster [00:07:05] Experiment 2: My Gut Rebels [00:08:54] Experiment 3: Cracking The Maurten Baking Soda Code [00:10:19] Experiment 4: The Truth [00:11:47] Do You Really Need Baking Soda To Run Faster?

Reporting live from the newly DIY'ed stu, Julia is joined by beautiful Nick, the king of DIY, to chart the chaotic history of "doing it yourself." From ancient Greeks assembling Ikea-style furniture to TikTokers accidentally creating mustard gas in their homes, they uncover how the urge to DIY is fundamentally human. Along the way, they discuss Victorian men who couldn't do shit, 1950s dads working through PTSD by tinkering in their garages, the health benefits of working with your hands, and the scientific proof that gay people are superior at home improvement. Digressions include Nick's evil brother's latest crimes against humanity, the life-saving potential of eliminating daylight savings times, and a new candy that awakens something ancient within us.

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by Tim Schlappich, a Pennsylvania native and member of the Final Stand crew who found his passion for hunting later in life. Tim shares his journey from being an avid angler and traveler in the military to diving headfirst into the world of whitetails, first in Nebraska's river bottoms and now across the big woods and marshes of the East Coast. Through trial, patience, and curiosity, he's learned to balance the challenges of new terrain, the lure of technology, and the importance of keeping the adventure alive.Throughout their conversation, Mitch and Tim reflect on the tension between trophy hunting and personal fulfillment—how the fun, the people, and the places matter more than antlers on the wall. From Sika deer on Maryland's Eastern Shore to DIY filming and mentoring new hunters, Tim's story captures the spirit of curiosity and humility that makes hunting special.

Brian and Richard are back for Episode 591 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Did JHS just break a pedal paradigm and has Brian invented a new type of electric guitar?Blake has traveled back in time to the land of 56kb Internet so Brian and Richard are back in control. Brian has caught the illness that everyone else has and Richard has a remedy. Did you see the new JHS "Troika" delay pedal? The guys are really keen to discuss some of the unusual and interesting features and design choices. Brian drops a hint about something nerdy and circuit related which may or may not be comparable to Netflix. IK Multimedia have released the ToneX in a new format and it inspires the chaps to come up with a whole new product. Richard wishes to bring Brian to Englandshire for Christmas. Are gear influencer's not as influential as they once were? With the change in Youtube's algorithms and the shape of the gear industry seeming to have shifted the guys discuss this in the context of a recent video from friend of the show, Henning Pauly.

We open the mailbag and get practical about three decisions most DIY investors face: rebalancing a mid-term portfolio, adding bonds before retirement, and whether a 100 percent stock allocation can actually work when you're withdrawing. Along the way, we put a highly marketed “all-weather” retirement framework under the microscope and show why corporate bonds often fail when you need ballast most.We start with an intermediate-term goal: saving for a house in three to five years. Rather than forcing taxable rebalancing, we explain how to direct new contributions and dividends toward lagging sleeves to maintain balance while sidestepping taxes. Then we tackle bond placement for accumulators in their late 30s and early 40s: why Treasuries belong in traditional 401(k)s, why cost basis doesn't matter inside retirement accounts, and when adding bonds is a sleep-aid rather than a must-have. Next, we confront the 100 percent stock question. If you intend to underspend and maximize terminal wealth, it can work. If you want higher sustainable withdrawals, diversification wins.The centerpiece: a head-to-head backtest of an “all-weather retirement” recipe built around corporate bonds and global equities versus a more balanced, risk-parity-inspired mix that includes Treasuries and a modest allocation to gold. The results highlight a core truth of sequence risk: smaller, shorter drawdowns can raise safe withdrawal rates and preserve flexibility. We also talk mindset—stop treating assets like sports teams. They're tools: stocks for growth, Treasuries for defense, gold for inflation shocks. Set your stock percentage first, split growth and value, prefer Treasuries over corporates for hedging, consider 10–15 percent gold, and test your plan with Portfolio Visualizer, Portfolio Charts, Testfolio, and the Early Retirement Now toolkit.Life design matters too. For parents in the exhausting middle—toddler chaos, peak earnings, zero time—we share a simple playbook: cut low-yield work commitments, focus on small, memorable family moments, and accept this as a temporary storm. Build a portfolio that buys time, not stress, and let your money serve the life you want.

In this episode of Ready Your Future, Todd explores the critical skill every prepper needs to master: making water safe to drink without chemicals. Discussing an excellent article from PrepersWill.com, Todd breaks down why understanding multiple water purification methods isn't just good practice—it's essential survival knowledge. From boiling basics to DIY filtration and the power of UV sterilization, this episode delivers actionable insights for every preparedness level. What makes this episode particularly valuable is the emphasis on “stacking methods” for water safety. As Todd highlights, no single purification technique addresses all potential water contaminants, which is why smart preppers layer their approaches. Whether you're concerned about biological pathogens, chemical runoff, or sediment, you'll discover how combining filtration, heat treatment, and other methods creates the redundancy needed when facing questionable water sources. Don't miss this comprehensive guide to one of prepping's most fundamental skills.

As the holidays roll around, and daylight retracts, the thoughts also cloud over to infuse the mind with a grayish motif. We're encouraged to gather our loved ones close and practice gratitude for life's bounty. But, what if life's gifts have been obscured by the overwhelming influence of a mortal depression, a reflection of the disconnect between what we see around us - (disease, deprivation, tyranny, man's inhumanity to man, etc.) - and, the opposing commercial messages which exhort us to joyfully consume? Is this dark attitude the result of an imbalance of chemicals in the brain which can be easily adjusted by the ingestion of a pill? Or, is the undertow into hopelessness something more fundamental - an irreconcilable part of our genetic makeup - a part of life we just have to stoically accept and get on with? Great artists reckon with these impulses by creating profound music. Today we celebrate two of the most striking practitioners of this heroic enterprise: Will Oldham and Nick Drake.WILL OLDHAMI See a Darkness is a masterpiece of simple straight talk about the things most of us never say. It expresses an honest representation of the apprehension that a sensitive soul feels, yet mostly keeps to themself about the inevitability of the abyss. Death walks beside us at all times, and, it helps to staunch the bleeding of fear by keeping our blindfolds on. But, sometimes, there is an urgency to share these thoughts with a friend or a counselor, and the monologue of this song invites us into that private conversation. It packs an overwhelming punch. Johnny Cash also interpreted this song near the end of his life as everything in his being boiled down to the basics. Bonnie Prince Billy, aka Will Oldham is a DIY, Kentucky based actor-musician with a diverse resume, featuring projects with many collaborators. He's a married man with a child, and perhaps all this inter-activity has grounded him and kept him productive. This makes sense - there is raw boned sense of the practical inherent in his style that complements the mystical. NICK DRAKEThe doomed, etherial Nick Drake was not so lucky. He stood apart, and was other-worldly from the beginning, always uncomfortable in his own skin. His recorded output was sparse, and number of his performances minimal, yet profound in their influence. Dead at 26 from an overdose of antidepressants, Nick didn't live long enough to see the reach that resonates with his work today, 50 years after his passing. River Man, in 5/4 time plucked on a nylon string guitar, abetted by a serene string arrangement by Harry Robertson, is a mysterious descent into the deep waters of associative imagery. Nothing is overtly stated, but the character of Betty and the narrator going to see the River Man who has the answer to the meaning of life puts me in mind of the Millais' painting of drowned Ophelia, floating in the river, surrounded by flowers. At peace at last.
We're back (finally!) after a little break — in the middle of a branding glow-up and, oh yeah, Julie had a baby. So naturally, we're kicking things off with our favorite annual episode: the Holiday Gift Guide. We're talking cozy pajamas, nostalgic photo albums, the viral gadget saving us from our phone addictions, and the small luxuries that make everyday life a little softer. It's part gift inspo, part sister catch-up, and full of the banter you didn't know you missed. Grab your peppermint mocha, throw on your comfiest sweats, and let's make this year's gifting both intentional and a little delusional.

In his 20's, working an office job he hated, Tom woke up in the middle of the night with a wild idea: why not take people on bike trips? No playbook. No investors. Just a sense that he could make a living doing what he loved. His first trip? Four guests riding through Death Valley, pitching their own tents. From there, Backroads scaled to hotels, while weathering a bike burglary, a van rollover in the desert, 9/11, the Great Recession, and a pandemic that brought tourism to a halt. Today, Backroads runs 5,000+ trips a year in 60+ countries.This is a masterclass in savvy cash flow, scrupulous quality control, and dogged iteration.
