Get Answers with a Pendulum

Saturday Uncovering Oklahoma visited Earth and Soul at 128 N Main Street in Sand Springs. We sought answers to our futures and of course material for our upcoming metaphysical episode. While our video interviews with shop owner, Rhonda Selig, and spiritual reader, Barbara Clak, will be released later this week, our featured item for this week’s Something Sundays comes from them today.

One helpful item you can get at Earth and Soul are their pendulums. A pendulum can be used to answer “yes” or “no” questions. To use one, simply hold the pendulum by its string away from your body. Hold the string perfectly still and say to the pendulum, “show me yes”. If it works, you will see the weight move, either in a circular or back and forth motion. Stop it and then ask the pendulum, “show me no”. Once you have seen what “yes” and “no” look like to you, keep in mind that it can vary from person to person and time to time, you can start asking questions.

Besides having the standard pendulums, Earth and Soul makes pendulum necklaces. One can wear it as jewelry and unhook the pendulum from the necklace for answers on the go. We’ll tell you more about Earth and Soul later this week, so stay tuned.

Cocopotamus @ Candy Basket

I took a trip to Norman and visited The Candy Basket (2001 West Main St.), which we featured in our fourth episode, to get this week’s Something Sundays item. The Candy Basket has a new item: Cocopotamus. Cocopotamus is an natural “gourmet fudge” that does not contain any preservatives, corn syrup, wheat, or gluten.

The Candy Basket has a bunch of Cocopotamus’s flavors including Naked Hottie, cinnamon; Santa’s Addiction, peppermint; Ommm…, orange and Triple Sec; Mr. French, sea salt; Cuppa Joe, espresso; Hottie, cinnamon and chili pepper; Yo Ho Ho, rum; Planet Marz, kirsch and almond; and Hang Lose, coconut. If you want to learn more about Cocopotamus, visit their web site at Cocopotamus.com. The site also contains some nice extras such as chocolate recipes and jokes. FYI, Rachael Ray likes says they’re “awesome chocolate.”

Get thee to a fudgery! Try Cocopotamus’s fudge for yourself at the Candy Basket.

Collected Thread

It’s still Tuesday, if only by a few minutes, but the video interview on Collected Thread is now online! Ali interviews Lindsay Zodrow as she tells Uncovering Oklahoma about their handmade and vintage offerings. For pictures and more information, visit our Shades of Fashions episode page. I’ll have even more pictures up on our Facebook page later on.

Today, I took a business trip (I totally get to say that now) to Norman. I took pictures from some of the past places we had visited as I plan to reformat all of the episode pages to match the style of our sixth episode. I also did some research for two of our upcoming episodes, one on art galleries and the other on the mystic and metaphysical realm. Stay tuned, especially if you want to watch our bloopers from our fashion episode.

Some things for Sunday

For this week’s Something Sunday I’m highlighting the MGold Brazil jewelry line at Violet Avenue Boutique in Norman’s Campus Corner. Being a guy, I don’t have much to say about jewelry other than it’s nice. Guys, it’s gold, so you may want to consider buying some pieces for your girl. Most of the items in the picture above are priced for under $50. (Maybe all. I’m not positive.)

On our Facebook page, I uploaded pictures I took from OKC Improv on February 13. I took three of the pictures and updated the events section with them. I know, I need to sit down and hunt for worthwhile events to list. However, I did add OKC StorySLAM to Events section. I just recently heard about StorySLAM and being a crazy writer, I’m going to personally visit their next show in March.

Okay, it’s time for me to get to bed. Hopefully, I’ll continue this weird dream I had this morning. It involved me traveling with some friends in some post-apocalyptic future world, catching a bomb from the sky to power an electric car, and kicking eight-foot tall light purple muscular monsters in the crotch. I guess that’s what I get for eating biscuits at Beverly’s in two in the morning. Goodnight, everyone!

Violet Avenue Boutique

Next up in our fashion episode installment is the Violet Avenue Boutique in Norman’s Campus Corner. In the video Sasha interviews Becca Chansolme, the owner of Violet Avenue, as she talks about her affordable boutique and gives us a highlighted tour of some of her store’s items. Be sure to visit the Shades of Fashion episode page to see pictures and learn more information.

Sorry it’s a day behind (okay, technically, it’s much later). I blame zombies. The Violet Avenue segment is fantastic so watch it! I have an interview for another shop planned for later on this week. Perhaps you’ll see our new title credit sequence then?
