FAAN (Fundacion Familia Amor Animal) is working to build Ecuador’s most modern and sustainable animal shelter. While we have 140 dogs now in our care, each of our dogs and volunteers has a unique story. In this post, Meet Marvin and Jo.
Jo is FAAN’s awesome “matchmaker” on our Volunteer Advisory Board who helps dogs, cats and adopters find each other. Reach out to Jo at FAAN if you’re looking for a new best friend (or two).
And some PAWSOME NEWS! You can double your impact for the dogs:
Now through March 15th, a generous and anonymous donor is matching dollar for dollar every donation received for our matching capital campaign. (Up to $20,000.)
This means $25 becomes $50, Your gift of $100 will become $200 and a generous gift of $1,000 becomes $2,000
Visit FAANEcuador.org to give, adopt and/or volunteer. Together we can make Cuenca Proud as a city known for care and protection of our animals.

These three flannel shirts are from the very popular “Legendary Whitetails” brand. Never worn. They were just delivered from the US on Monday of this week. I gambled on sizing and lost – they are way too small for me, and it’s not worth the hassle and cost to return them by courier (even though I really like them and will order the same shirts in the next size up shortly.)
I’m attaching photos of each and providing a link to each of their pages on Amazon so you can get all the details.
(more…)Dear friends, at Gramm Bulkshop we have psyllium in our store, here we share some information about it:
Psyllium, similarly to other soluble fibers, passes through the small intestine without being completely broken down or absorbed.
Instead, it absorbs water and becomes a viscous compound that benefits constipation, diarrhea, blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight loss.
Psyllium husk is the main active ingredient in Metamucil, a fiber supplement that reduces constipation.

Rise early for a day packed with wild adventure, departing from Plaza San Sebastian in Cuenca at 8:30 AM. Then it is time to get on the 4×4 heading to the east towards the Ecuadorian Amazon (2h30 min approx). You arrived at Limon Indanza, just two hours from Cuenca. Known as the gateway to the Amazon, a picturesque Amazonian town hidden between mountains, rivers, waterfalls, and lots of nature.
After passing through Limón, we head to Chiviaza, a rural town known as the enchanted valley due to its impressive ecosystem. In Chiviaza, you will visit an organic farm, take a hike in the jungle and discover a fantastic variety of mysterious recordings on large rocks called petroglyphs. After that, you will learn more about how people work with Amazonian products and taste some of their traditional drinks made with sugar cane.

Authentic Spanish resources (such as movies, TV, books and music) are one of the most fun and effective ways to improve your listening comprehension, vocabulary and grammar.
So why aren’t more people taking advantage of them?
1. There is a common misconception that you must have an intermediate level or higher in order to watch a movie or read a book in Spanish.
2. They don’t know where to begin – how to find a movie/TV show, book or even music that is suitable for their level and interests.
This is why I’ve created this free (for a limited time only) guide to using authentic Spanish resources to take your Spanish to the next level.

When it comes to choosing a hair color and shade, your professional colorist will help you achieve the perfect blend for you, because finding the hair color that suits you best is always our number one priority.
1) Your complexion
The color of your skin tone is actually one of the most important aspects of choosing the perfect hair color. The correct color will compliment your skin and make it appear even more beautiful, while the wrong color might make your skin look dull and dreary.
2) Your eyes
To really enhance and intensify your eye color we might opt for a contrasting color. For instance – if your eyes are blue, a caramel or golden blonde tone will make them appear even bluer. If they are green, a fiery or soft red tone could be the perfect color for you.
