![]() ![]() 'My sister gave me a gorgeous cashmere sweater, and I. Here's why it could be the next big thing to happen to laundry since the washer and dryer. The motivation for launching the company came from co-founder Desiree Davis Stolars personal frustrations with shrinking cashmere clothing. Thank you again Desirée Davis Stolar and the Management Leadership for Tomorrow team for having me, Le Anne Harper (she/her), SPHR, and Elliott D. Well, if Unshrinkit really does what it says, a lot of people will want to get their hands on the product, not just the Sharks. Now that sounds like an exceptionable new product worthy of a Shark Tank appearance in Season 7, Episode 709 coming this Friday night. In this episode, Mariam sits down with Desirée Davis Stolar to talk about her work at Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT). However, I have a feeling some of the other Sharks may want in on it as well - namely, Daymond John, who is Shark Tank's resident fashion expert who is probably more concerned about taking good care of his clothing than anyone else in that room. This product was made for her business portfolio, so I know she's going to want a piece of this company. Desiree Davis Stolar (Des), a graduate of the University of Virginia and Harvard Business School, spent most of her career as a research consultant for Fortune 500 media, tech and retail companies on brand strategies, loyalty programs and product features. ![]() Unshrinkit claims to do what it says to your clothing, and I think Lori "Queen of QVC" Greiner, wherever she is, just fainted. We have the technology! More specifically, we have the aptly named Unshrinkit appearing on Friday night's episode of Shark Tank to change the way we take care of our clothes forever. When Desirée ('Des') Stolars wool sweater shrank two sizes, the Harvard Business School student worked with classmates to develop a solution that both fixed her problem and launched Unshrinkit, a successful consumer goods company with a widely-available product for reversing wool shrinkage. For centuries, those that have encountered this tragedy were relegated to mourning the loss of the garment and finding the strength to move on. Desiree will actually wear a sweater that has been shrunk and unshrunk. According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Thursday, Desiree will pitch her product on the popular ABC show Shark Tank on Friday, Nov. There are few things worse in life than shrinking your new favorite cashmere sweater. Desiree Davis Stolar and a classmate set out to solve the problem of shrunk clothes. ![]() ![]() 5-8 tablespoons 91% isopropyl alcohol (you can go higher in % but not lower)Īs you can see, this recipe is a bit more complicated, and it requires a lot of essential oil.Like some of the mixes we’ve already covered, this recipe is a base for a few of the following on our list so we will cover the bulk of it here. Not only does this recipe have the most interesting name on the list thus far, this one is the largest quantity we are going to cover, and it’s the first that has some unique and interesting ingredients. Then apply and let the warmth of relaxation take you over via these aromatherapy giants. For the rest of us, use the same copycat method following recipe number five but plug in these essential oils instead: Who doesn’t suffer from stress? The extremely lucky, that’s who. That said, this is definitely for the person who isn’t into floral scents since this one focuses more on herby, minty, and citrus aromas.Īdd the aromatherapy scents to the container, then add the carrier oil, shake, and let it sit for infusion. The title of this next blend might sound feminine, but when I look at the scents required, this seems like a more unisex fragrance. Shake the bottle so the contents mix well. Here we have another recipe that is intended for a man, a person who identifies as masculine, or for that masculine person in your life.Īdd all the essential oils to the container and finish it off with your favorite carrier substance. Or, you could just make it for the masculine person in your life.īoth of these recipes can be cut in half if you need to put it in a smaller container. If you are a woman wanting a more masculine fragrance, this is for you as well. Men like to smell good too so if you are a guy looking for a scent, here you go. Apply and go! Simple Men’s BlendĪs it turns out, wearing scents is not just a female thing. Mix well and let it sit for a while so the oils can infuse into the carrier. 20 drops of the following essential oilsįirstly, put the extracts into the container and then add the carrier.3 tablespoons (50 ml) carrier oil (jojoba or fractionated coconut).Base, middle, and top notes are where typical scents sit depending on how you decide to use them. Our next recipe follows the rules of using notes. Make sure to label your creation with the date to use by. ![]() ![]() The rule of thumb is anywhere between 6 months to one year. Homemade solid perfumes have a shelf life, depending on the carrier oil you decide to use. Just replace the essential oils in those and add these instead. This solid perfume can be made in the same way as the first two recipes on our list. ![]() Pour into your container and let it harden.Stir gently to remelt while the glass still sits in the hot water This is the step that accelerates hardening. Pour the oil blend into the beeswax and mix fast.Remove pot from heat but leave the glass of melted beeswax in the warm water Test the scent and add more of the scents you want if you feel it needs it.Blend jojoba oil and essential oils well but gently.Patchouli-Tangerine Solid PerfumeĪs you can tell from the title, this recipe is for a solid perfume as well. Otherwise, you risk the mixture hardening before you can get them all in there. Just follow the steps for the previous recipe and be sure to remember to blend your scents ahead of time. In fact, it follows the very same steps as the Fresh & Kicky recipe and the ingredients are all the same, except for the essential oils. This next recipe is for a solid perfume as well. This blend should leave your feeling, as the title says, fresh and kicky. Remove from heat and add the blend of aromas immediately (the mixture hardens quickly). ![]() ![]() The teams shared the final two holes as Europe claimed their first half-point of the tournament.

What a moment for Emily Pedersen as she hits just the second hole-in-one in the history of the Solheim Cup ![]() ![]() ![]() “You cannot forgive just once, forgiveness is a daily practice.” But oh, what about forgiving our friends?” “It's all very well to tell us to forgive our enemies our enemies can never hurt us very much. “In this life, when you deny someone an apology, you will remember it at the time you beg forgiveness.” At some point, being angry is just another bad habit, like smoking, and you keep poisoning yourself without thinking about it.” And now I see you, so angry about what happened to your marriage, and I just want to tell you, at some point, it doesn't matter who was right and who was wrong. “I wasted a lot of time being angry, time I can't get back. When an injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive.” “It is surely better to pardon too much than to condemn too much.” If you keep hitting back, you stay trapped in the nightmare.” It doesn't necessarily mean that you want to have lunch with the person. “Forgiveness means it finally becomes unimportant that you hit back. There are many ways to move on, and pretending to feel a certain way isn’t one of them.” ![]() “You can have compassion without forgiving. “Forgiveness is the only way to reverse the irreversible flow of history.” “A life lived without forgiveness is a prison.” It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.” “Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. “To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” “No matter how much you love someone-the capacity of that love is meaningless if it outweighs your capacity to forgive.” We forgive them because they need it-because we need it.” “We don't forgive people because they deserve it. “Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you are.” Forgiveness is letting go of the past, and is, therefore, the means for correcting our misperceptions.” “Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness. “Before we can forgive one another, we have to understand one another.” “Always forgive, but never forget, else you will be a prisoner of your own hatred and doomed to repeat your mistakes forever.” There is only time for loving, and but an instant, so to speak, for that.” “There isn't time, so brief is life, for bickerings, apologies, heartburnings, callings to account. “Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive.” “To forgive is wisdom, to forget is genius. “As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.” Leave people better than you found them.” Be the one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart one who looks for the best in people. It has everything to do with relieving oneself of the burden of being a victim-letting go of the pain and transforming oneself from victim to survivor.” “Forgiveness has nothing to do with absolving a criminal of his crime. “To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.” “Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.” “Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.” “Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.” Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” So, here are some healing affirmations that help you strengthen yourself and bring more forgiveness into your life: “The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.”įorgiveness leads to healing. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.” “Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. “Grudges are for those who insist that they are owed something forgiveness, however, is for those who are substantial enough to move on.” In fact, it is supremely important to practice self-forgiveness, so that we may become better. Yes, forgiveness is not limited to other people only. So, in this post, you will find forgiveness quotes to help you forgive others and yourself. Forgiveness is about your peace of mind so that you give energy to the things that make your life beautiful. We think that they don't deserve it and therefore we must keep resenting them.īut, forgiveness is about freedom, it's about letting off weight, it's about clearing the clutter and healing. Especially when we've been wronged, it agitates us. Let's bless and bring freedom into our lives with forgiveness for others and ourselves.įorgiveness is often debated. 60+ Forgiveness Quotes to Move On from Resentment into Freedom ![]() ![]() ![]() VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VS Code. ![]() If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions.

A saturated solution in equilibrium with the undissolved solid will result. The reaction shifts to the left and the concentrations of the ions are reduced by formation of the solid until the value of Q equals K sp. If we mix a solution of calcium nitrate, which contains Ca 2+ ions, with a solution of sodium carbonate, which contains CO 3 2- ions, the slightly soluble ionic solid CaCO 3 will precipitate, provided that the concentrations of Ca 2+ and CO 3 2- ions are such that Q is greater than K sp for the mixture. If we add calcium carbonate to water, the solid will dissolve until the concentrations are such that the value of the reaction quotient (Q = ) is equal to the solubility product ( K sp = 8.7 × 10 –9). We can establish this equilibrium either by adding solid calcium carbonate to water or by mixing a solution that contains calcium ions with a solution that contains carbonate ions. However, when we add an excess of solid AgCl to water, it dissolves to a small extent and produces a mixture consisting of a very dilute solution of Ag + and Cl – ions in equilibrium with undissolved silver chloride: Recall from the solubility rules in an earlier chapter that halides of Ag + are not normally soluble. Silver chloride is what’s known as a sparingly soluble ionic solid (Figure 17.6a). We will also learn how to use the equilibrium constant of the reaction to determine the concentration of ions present in a solution. In this section, we will find out how we can control the dissolution of a slightly soluble ionic solid by the application of Le Châtelier’s principle. ![]() We want the calcium carbonate in a chewable antacid to dissolve because the CO 3 2- ions produced in this process help soothe an upset stomach. On the other hand, sometimes we want a substance to dissolve. Preventing the dissolution prevents the decay. The dissolution process is aided when bacteria in our mouths feast on the sugars in our diets to produce lactic acid, which reacts with the hydroxide ions in the calcium hydroxylapatite. Tooth decay, for example, occurs when the calcium hydroxylapatite, which has the formula Ca 5(PO 4) 3(OH), in our teeth dissolves. In some cases, we want to prevent dissolution from occurring. The preservation of medical laboratory blood samples, mining of sea water for magnesium, formulation of over-the-counter medicines such as Milk of Magnesia and antacids, and treating the presence of hard water in your home’s water supply are just a few of the many tasks that involve controlling the equilibrium between a slightly soluble ionic solid and an aqueous solution of its ions.
