10 Surprising Ways You Can Use Vapo Rub (Aside From Just Relieving A Cold)

I’m a huge fan of vaporizing rub. The slightest sign of a sniffle, and I’m rubbing that stuff under my nose and on my chest and throat. But, vapo rub can be used in a variety of ways, so if you thought it was just good for keeping that cough at a minimum, you’re in for a surprise.

The menthol smell can be used as a deterrent for cats, dogs and mosquitos. It can also be used to relieve ailments such as headaches and sore muscles.

Get ready to use this rub in a variety of ways because it’s for much more than warding off a cold during the winter season.

80+ Nature Art translation Aaron Schuerr

Image
Aaron Schuerr has many descriptions to his name: artist, writer, actor, husband, and father. And while all have a certain distinction to them, one of those connects him to other people on a much deeper level. Art is what Schuerr uses to translate the experiences of nature to other people. "Though painting is largely a solitary endeavor, it is never a lonely one because I am invited to share in the ineffable mystery of beauty," he explains. Schuerr's artwork encapsulates the beauty of nature, portraying various landscapes in vivid colors and combinations.

I'd love to introduce you to my latest art book which has been over four years in the making. 'Welsh Monsters & Mythical Beasts' is an illustrated compendium exploring the mythical creatures of Wales, comprised of ink and watercolors. You may have heard of the Red Dragon (Ddraig Goch) featured on the national flag of Wales. Sadly, here in Wales, many of our other beasts are being forgotten. I felt to sad to see that my culture is loosing such an amazing array of creatures and legends that surround them. Therefore, I decided to bring them back to the forefront of Welsh culture and introduce them to a new generation by sharing our rich mythology with the world. I'm so excited about this art book, there's so much contend and so many unique creatures, I hope you will love it too!

Justin Peters: What If Everything You Imagined Could Be Real (New Pics)

Image
I'm Justin Peters, a 22 years old self-taught digital surrealist artist from Germany who merges reality with his own imagination cleverly using Photoshop, since 2016.   "Everything you can imagine is real" by Pablo Picasso is a quote I live by especially when creating my work which is inspired by the world around me and surreal painters. Painting my own dreamworld where everything is possible through the unexpected and unique imagery combinations and photo manipulations using photos I find on the internet. I hope that when people experience my work, they discover a new and different world, which they can dive into to prove that everything is possible when you open your mind. I'll help people engage with their emotions and understand that they can do anything they want to.   More info: jstnptrs.myportfolio.com | Instagram | behance.net   #1 Another Way #2 Moonfall #3 Underforest #4 Surfing Clouds #5 Two Worlds   #6 Eruption Of Joy #7 Eye Sea #8 Moon Balloon #9 Tree ...
