The age old trick of placing an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas on a bruised body part is something most everyone has done at some point in life. In medical terms it’s what is known as a form of cold compression.
The reason why we do this is that when an ice cold object is pressed on the affected area it works to greatly reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation. Our bodies heal and recover faster and your pain and discomfort is alleviated.
Any cold object can be used, but the most common things people reach for is frozen gel packs, bags of veggies, and ice cubes is a bag. When you don’t have any gel packs or veggies on hand the go to method is almost always ice cubes.
If you’ve ever used the ice in a plastic bag method, then you know how much of a pain and messy it can be. The cubes are awkward and slide all around as they melt so it’s hard to keep them on the bruised area.
Young children usually complain about them too, because pressing slippery, freezing cold blocks of ice on bumps and bruises can be painful and it quickly gets annoying.
There is a much better alternative that you can and should use for a cold compress, and kids of all ages will love it. All you need to do is stick a bag of marshmallows in the freezer for a few minutes and when they’re cold enough press them on whatever hurts.
Marshmallows are ideal for several reasons, one being that they’re able to quickly absorb cold. All it takes is a couple of minutes in the freezer and you’re good to go.
Another reason is that they are much softer than hard blocks of ice and can be easily squished onto and molded around awkward body parts like wrists, ankles, and elbows. A bag of them can even be used as a sort of cushioned support when weight is pressed down on it.
Whereas ice cubes will usually just slip all around and not stay in one place, the marshmallows won’t. What it comes down to is that tossing a bag of soft marshmallows in the freezer is an ideal alternative to using ice cubes and packs on a bruised area.
It’s a quick, low cost, re-usable, kid friendly, and when you’re done using them you have a tasty snack on hand to eat!

When I first began watching the video you are about to see below, it looked as if Steve Knoop and his friends had come upon a fawn that had been hit by a vehicle. It was lying in the middle of the road on pavement, with it’s legs in a position that made it appear to be hurt.
Luckily these men saw it as they were driving along, and didn’t run over the baby. They approached the fawn with caution to see exactly what it’s condition was. In the video you hear these concerned men discuss what they observe to be a newborn baby deer whose mother seems to have given birth in the middle of the road.
As they get closer they see that he is not injured and that his mother is watching the scene from the woods at the side of the road. Unsure of whether they should move him or not they discuss the alternative. They quickly decide that leaving him there would endanger his life, which leads Paul to very gently lift him from the middle of the road and quickly deposit the baby near the side of the woods.
What happens next sends the men into shouts of jubilation! Watch The Video Below and Enjoy!

Dion Parrot, an 18-year-old from Kettering, England is forced to wear a heart monitor at all times, because she spent her “childhood drinking energy drinks.” According to her mother, Dion’s “heart rate drops dangerously low” as a result of damage done from caffeine toxicity.
The average amount of caffeine found in energy drinks is 250 mgs, which is the equivalent of four shots of espresso! No one would ever dream of allowing their child to drink that, yet many parents have been unaware of the dangers inherent to energy drinks.
Dion is forced to wear a heart monitor, as she shared in a photo on January 14th, to warn others about the dangers of energy drink consumption at a young age. She did so in order to lose weight, and ended up causing irreparable damage to her heart.
The following video that you are about to watch below discusses these dangers; the high dose of caffeine in these drinks can cause a dangerous rise in blood pressure, heart palpitations, severe anxiety, heart damage and in some cases, death due to heart damage.

Get ready for some unexpected fun! Pete and Beulah Mae get out on the dance floor at an old age home, as some funky music starts to play. Nobody in the place expected what was about to happen. This elderly couple started off slow performing for some senior citizens.
They’ve been dancing together for years and start off their routine like some clunky vaudeville act. Goofy mistakes and slapstick contortions don’t prepare you for what is about to come. They are about to really startle their audience with their moves.
They are incredible swing dancers with a modern edge; watch Beulah Mae twerking! I kept looking to see if they were actually younger people dressed up to look elderly. They are not in costume, but have maintained a “young at heart” vitality that is a joy to watch.
Let us know what you think of this epic performance!

She Died Because She Posted THIS On Facebook While Driving. Her Final Post Tore My Heart Up!
image via – youtube.com
We have all watched public service messages concerning the tragic results of texting and driving, or for that matter any form of distracted driving. Despite the warnings which equate this with the dangers of drunk driving, people still look away to communicate things with their friends and family, that can certainly wait until they are off the road.
The statistics bear out that the danger of texting while driving is actually not equal to drinking and driving; it is actually 6 times more dangerous than drinking and driving! It is an absolutely terrifying problem; despite the fact that using hand-held devices while driving is illegal in almost every state in the US, nearly 660,000 Americans attempt to use their phone while driving, at any given moment each day.
That is why reporting on Courtney Sanford’s tragic death, and others like it, continues to be so important. She was a beautiful 32-year-old young woman driving along in a great mood.
She felt the need to post on Facebook while driving to share the fact that listening to the song “Happy” on the radio, “made [her] feel so happy”. Ironically, this moment of happiness was the last communication of her life.
Looking away from the road for the 5 seconds it took to post on Facebook, driving 55 mph, Courtney went over the median and hit a recycling truck head-on.
The video you are about to watch below imparts the rest of this tragic story.

Which One Of The 5 Types Of Instincts Is Your Most Dominant?
image via – shutterstock.com
Which of the five types of instincts is your most dominant? Did you even know there were five types of instincts? Let me tell you about them. The first is the survival instinct. A person with a strong instinct of survival is a feisty fighter who adapts to situations and reacts strongly when threatened or cornered.
They are nice to be around when things are safe, and even better to have around when things get hectic. They will go into full survival mode and instead of panicking, they will do whatever they need to in order to survive. As long as you don’t pose a threat, you just might survive.
The second is the primal instinct, which takes the form of a strong feeling in the gut, and a person strong in this type will know that following this feeling is in their best interest. They know when a situation is sketchy long before those around them, and often act as an early warning signal to set the rest of the crowd on high alert.
A quick wit and striking high pressure decision making skills enable them to survive in situations where most would surely perish.
The third is the maternal instinct, which enables one to be protective of those they love, often to their own detriment. A wise person can use this instinct to their advantage, helping to keep everyone in the group safe and happy.
The social instinct allows one to be highly aware of how people around them are feeling, even to the point of being able to guess what they are thinking and what they might do next. They often know even better than those they are reading. They are hard to trick and are excellent at judging character.
They have a way with words and are able to talk themselves out of situations that could otherwise prove deadly. Lastly, the person with a strong procreative instinct is talented when it comes to using their powerful sensuality to get their way.
They are able to get people to like them and do what they want them, almost without effort. Their passion for life is like a magnet that draws people like moths to a flame, and they make everyone feel sexy just by being in their presence.
