Bookmarking Soulmate

They say that opposites attract- I don’t believe that. In fact I actually think entirely the opposite is true. So, when it comes to finding my soulmate I want to find someone as similar to my tastes as possible; someone that I will have a lot in common with.

My bookmarking soulmate is no exception. So, in honor of Valentines Day, I decided to use the extra time that I have on this lovely day, since its not quite a singles holiday, to find my bookmarking soulmate and a few hours and a glass of wine later (I had to celebrate somehow) I finally found her. I’m assuming it’s a she since her username on delicious is SummerW- I’m going to call her Summer.

Summer’s top interests reflected in her tags are health, food, and fitness. She is also interested in supplements, food, cooking, and farming; a perfect match for my interests in this blog. Summer has 498 sites bookmarked and 26 blogs bookmarked. She began bookmarking in October of 2008 and she adds one or several new bookmarks every day or every couple of days. Her 660 tags are extremely well organized and she adds comments about half of the time when the title of the site isn’t self-explanatory.

While I was looking though Summer’s bookmarks, I came across a couple of interesting sites that I had yet to find on my own. One, Healing Naturally by Bee, featured an article about foods that damage and foods that heal. The article listed unnatural oils, table salt, and sugar as damaging foods, which I agree with, but then it went a little bit extreme in saying that fruit is not as healthy as you think and that the cholesterol theory is a scam. I’m sure there are legitimate reasons for thinking this way, but from what I know about nutrition research this is not true. Still, however, the site is interesting to look at and see what they have to say.

I also found an interesting website in her bookmarks called Earth Clinic. Earth Clinic outlines all of the classic old remedies for lots of ailments. One of the remedies, which I had never heard of before, is to gargle cayenne pepper with water for a sore throat. I would probably go with the more well known gargling of salt, but the website has 329 testimonials about how the cayenne pepper works. Next time I get a sore throat, which hopefully won’t be soon, I’ll have to try it. Earth Clinic also shows which supplements are good for specific issues, like grapefruit extract for sinus infections, the flu, and toenail fungus (random?), and the benefits of specific vitamins and minerals. Summer also shares my love for the blog Summer Tomato, which is a great blog for foodies.

I’m going to have to keep looking through her almost 500 bookmarked sites and I’m sure I will find some more interesting material.
