The Smooth Geezer Launches Innovative Grooming Tools for Men
Addressing a Common Problem in Men’s Grooming The Smooth Geezer was born from a simple yet frustrating reality that many men experience: grooming tools that promise great results but fail to deliver. For years, men settled for razors, clippers, and gadgets that were messy, slow, and uncomfortable. Leo Selwood, the founder of The Smooth Geezer, grew tired of the same disappointing experience when shaving his head every day. Frustrated by the lack of effective solutions, he decided to create grooming tools that truly worked. With a focus on clean design, solid engineering, and true performance,The Smooth Geezer has made its mark in the world of men’s grooming. From the very first product, The Original Head Shaver, to the latest additions like the Body Trimmer 3.0 and the Beard Precision Trimmer, The Smooth Geezer has set out to change the way men approach their grooming routines. The Smooth Geezer Vision: No Gimmicks, Just Results At the core of The Smooth Geezer’s philosophy is the commitment to making grooming faster, cleaner, and easier. The Original Head Shaver was designed with a single goal: to provide men with a quick, comfortable, and effective shave, free from cuts, foam, and missed patches. For Leo Selwood, this wasn’t just about creating a product, it was about solving a universal problem faced by men worldwide. "We wanted to build tools that men actually need, not just gadgets that look flashy or gimmicky," said Leo Selwood, founder of The Smooth Geezer. "Every product we create is tested by real men who use it daily. The feedback we get helps us improve our tools and keep them practical, efficient, and simple." The Smooth Geezer’s products are known for their reliability. The range focuses on providing practical solutions without unnecessary features. No gimmicks, no over-complicated designs, just reliable tools that do what they say, every time. Community Impact and Customer Loyalty One of the driving forces behind The Smooth Geezer’s success is its deep connection to its customer base. Thousands of men, from everyday consumers to barbers and SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation) artists, trust The Smooth Geezer tools to get the job done. This community-driven approach has been key to the brand’s growth. The brand has garnered significant recognition online, with content creators and influencers regularly showcasing the products. The high-quality tools are not only praised for their performance but also for the trust they’ve built with customers. "People appreciate that we listen to them and deliver what we promise," Leo said. "Our customers trust us because we keep things simple, functional, and consistent." The Geezer Guarantee: Confidence in Every Product The Smooth Geezer stands apart in a crowded market thanks to its transparent, risk-free approach. The Geezer Guarantee ensures that every product purchased is backed by a 30-day, no-questions-asked return policy. If the product doesn’t live up to expectations, customers are entitled to a full refund. "This guarantee is more than just a promise," explained Leo. "It’s a reflection of our confidence in the products we make. We’re not here to sell you something and move on, we want to make sure you’re happy with your purchase and your grooming routine." The no-pressure, straightforward customer service has earned The Smooth Geezer a loyal customer base. Men who value practical, efficient tools appreciate the brand’s commitment to service and quality. Expanding the Range: The Smooth Geezer Grooming Revolution What began as a single product aimed at solving the problem of head shaving has expanded into a full grooming range, all built with the same principle in mind: quality, simplicity, and reliability. The Smooth Geezer’s products now include the Body Trimmer 3.0, Beard Precision Trimmer, Foil Shaver, and a variety of grooming accessories designed to simplify men’s routines without compromising on performance. The brand’s growth is a testament to its commitment to solving real problems for men. From head to toe, The Smooth Geezer offers grooming tools that work, providing men with everything they need to look after themselves efficiently and effectively. "We’re just getting started," said Leo. "Our mission is simple: to keep making everyday grooming routines better, one shave at a time." About The Smooth Geezer The Smooth Geezer was founded by Leo Selwood, a man who experienced firsthand the frustrations of using ineffective grooming tools. After years of trial and error with various razors and clippers, he decided to create a line of grooming products that would make shaving and personal care faster, easier, and more comfortable. The Smooth Geezer’s tools are built for real men, tested by real routines, and designed to perform without the fluff. The brand stands for practicality, quality, and a no-nonsense approach to men’s grooming. For more information or to shop the full range of products, visit Thesmoothgeezer.com .

Resilient Stories Announces Annual Spark to Heal Symposium
Resilient Stories: Harnessing the Healing Power of Storytelling In a world that often encourages perfection, Resilient Stories offers a refreshing departure. Founded by Danielle Dahl, this trauma-aware creative platform has set out on a mission to reclaim the power of storytelling as a tool for healing, growth, and community impact. In 2025, the platform took a monumental step forward with the launch of Spark to Heal (12/02), an annual symposium designed to unite individuals through the shared experience of storytelling. This event, coupled with Resilient Stories' growing community initiatives, helps transform pain into purpose, demonstrating how raw, honest narratives can lead to collective wellness and personal recovery. A Journey Rooted in Healing and Personal Growth Resilient Stories was born from Danielle Dahl's own experience with childhood trauma and healing through the written word. For years, Danielle used writing as a deeply personal practice to process and move beyond her struggles. What began as a solitary journey eventually blossomed into a shared mission. Danielle's vision expanded beyond her own healing to include others who had also experienced hardship. The platform she created is a place where stories are not only told but also used as vehicles for transformation and healing. “What began as a deeply personal practice evolved into a community-focused platform for helping others tell their stories, with honesty, heart, and no pressure to polish the pain," says Danielle Dahl, Founder of Resilient Stories. The Spark to Heal Symposium: Turning Pain into Purpose The Spark to Heal symposium is a key feature of Resilient Stories' mission. Launched in 2025, in partnership with Upstream Strategy Partners, the event offers a space for individuals to come together, share their narratives, and find solace in the stories of others. Far from a traditional conference, Spark to Heal is a unique event that recognizes the value of vulnerability in personal growth. Participants are encouraged to share their unpolished, authentic truths, no matter how messy the middle may be, creating a sense of shared humanity and connection. As a first-of-its-kind storytelling symposium, Spark to Heal provides a platform for attendees to explore how their personal narratives can ignite healing and inspire positive change. The event fosters a supportive environment where individuals can learn from one another, share insights, and begin the journey of creative recovery. For many, Spark to Heal has become a pivotal point in their own healing process, offering both practical tools and emotional support. A Platform Built on Community and Connection What sets Resilient Stories apart from other storytelling platforms is its commitment to creating a community around the act of storytelling. Through one-on-one story coaching, publishing opportunities, and community events, Resilient Stories has established a space where individuals are supported throughout their creative recovery process. Danielle Dahl's vision for Resilient Stories has always been centered around the idea that healing does not only happen in therapy or in isolation. Instead, it is through shared narratives, communal spaces, and collective support that healing truly takes place. "We don’t tell perfect stories, we tell true ones," says Dahl, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in the healing process. From Healing to Leadership: Danielle Dahl's Expanding Vision Danielle’s passion for storytelling and trauma recovery has not only shaped Resilient Stories but has also inspired her to pursue further academic study in psychology. Currently working toward a Ph.D. in psychology, Danielle continues to deepen her understanding of narrative healing, blending her personal experiences with a professional commitment to supporting others through their journeys of recovery. In addition to her academic work, Danielle continues to speak across Montana and beyond about narrative healing and creative wellness. Through her role as editor of the Resilient Stories Anthology Series and as a speaker, Danielle has helped countless individuals find their voice and begin the work of transforming their pain into purpose. “This is a place where stories don’t just live. They spark healing,” says Danielle, capturing the essence of the work being done at Resilient Stories. Through its innovative programs and events, the platform has created a space where individuals are empowered to reclaim their narratives and rewrite their stories with greater meaning and strength. Building a Movement of Storytellers At its core, Resilient Stories is more than just a platform; it is a movement. The stories shared through the platform, whether in community events or through the Spark to Heal symposium, are a testament to the transformative power of creative expression. Resilient Stories continues to grow as a beacon for individuals seeking to reclaim their voice and heal through the process of storytelling. As the platform moves into its next phase, Resilient Stories is poised to further its mission of empowering people to turn their pain into power. With an emphasis on authenticity and vulnerability, Danielle Dahl and her team are paving the way for a more compassionate and connected world. About Resilient Stories Resilient Stories was founded by writer and speaker Danielle Dahl to provide a trauma-aware space for storytelling and creative recovery. The platform encourages individuals to share their raw, unpolished truths as a means of healing and personal growth. Through community events, publishing opportunities, and coaching, Resilient Stories aims to build a movement of individuals reclaiming their narratives and turning pain into purpose.

A Near-Death Experience Awakened His True Gift: French Medium Lionel Girardon Shares His Most Personal Testimony Yet
Port-de-Lanne, France — French medium Lionel Girardon, known for more than 35 years of pure clairvoyance and spiritual sensitivity, unveils the most intimate and transformative chapter of his life. In the newly published “Mes dons, mes épreuves – Part 3” , he reveals a powerful personal testimony involving addiction, a near-death hospital episode, unexplained paranormal phenomena, and ultimately, the rebirth of his true spiritual gift. For years, Lionel carried a silent battle. Behind the accuracy of his predictions and thousands of consultations across France and abroad, a deeper struggle was taking place: alcohol. He believed, as many do, that drinking unlocked confidence, clarity, or even amplified intuition. His mother used to tell him, half-jokingly yet with striking intuition: “Your crystal ball is the prism of a melting ice cube in a glass of whisky.” That sentence followed him like a shadow. And for a long time, he believed it. Everything changed two years ago. Lionel experienced a life-threatening health crisis that led him directly to the hospital. In this pivotal moment—caught between collapse and consciousness—he describes sensations, visions, and impressions that profoundly shifted his understanding of his own gift. “The Reaper wanted to toast with me,” he says with honesty. “That’s when I understood the bottle had given me nothing. My gift was inside me all along.” During this same period, Lionel also spent two unforgettable nights in a house affected by a violent poltergeist phenomenon. A village priest stayed with him during the second night, unable to sleep, witnessing events that defied explanation. Far from discouraging Lionel, these experiences reinforced the strength and depth of his perceptions. The new chapter Part 3 is not merely a confession—it is an act of service. Lionel shares his story for anyone living with doubt, fear, addiction, emotional wounds, or spiritual confusion. “If one person finds clarity or strength through my testimony,” Lionel explains, “then writing it was worth it.” His full announcement is available here: https://www.voyancepur-astro-soins.com/blog-voyance/2841276_annonce-officiel This article offers a rare, vulnerable insight into the life of a medium whose path was forged not only through intuition, but through resilience, survival, and the courage to face his own darkness.

Shining Star Photo Booth's Allure Digital Kiosk Brings Technology to Weddings
Shining Star Photo Booth today reflected on the release of the Allure Digital Photo Booth three years ago, which had been in development for 6 months. The main aim was always to allow weddings and events to share photo booth fun in an all-digital format with instant photo sharing and curated custom experiences that traditional photo booths cannot offer. ... and by defying convention, this photo booth rental did so, with a difference. Mark Reed, CEO and Founder at Shining Star Photo Booth, says: "We wanted to try something new with the Allure Digital Photo Booth. Anyone familiar with the wedding and events market will probably have noticed that everyone else always seems to offer stagnant experiences that lack creativity, offer minimal customization, and do not embrace the technology available for modern photo booth activations. We felt this was a problem because brides, party planners, and event producers want something unique for their guests, something fun and entertaining that has not been seen at every other event in the past." So, as a welcome breath of fresh air, the Allure Digital Photo Booth instead ignites the event scene with curated and custom experiences that blend professional photography with engaging, tailored designs that offer graphics and effects to augment the guest experience with branded, on-theme visuals never before seen in a photo booth offering. Shining Star Photo Booth chose to make this move because they wanted to breathe new life into a product offering that has become saturated with cookie-cutter services that lack originality and passion for going beyond the norm. Mark Reed also said, "We want to give our customers options. With the Allure Digital Photo Booth, they have a fresh new possibility. We want them to feel excited about their vision being understood and feel that their event provides an elevated experience when using the Allure Digital Photo Booth. Trying something new is always a risk, but it's a risk we believe is worth taking." Shining Star Photo Booth has been in business for 13 years, having been established in 2012. Since Day 1, it has aimed to provide upscale, curated photo booth rentals. This isn't the first time Shining Star Photo Booth has defied convention, either. In 2020, they caused a stir when they responded to the COVID-19 situation with a uniquely crafted virtual photo booth service, which offered brides and grooms the ability to have family and friends participate in their wedding reception remotely by taking fun candid photos, sharing video best wishes, and seeing the wedding live-streamed all via a custom-crafted website unique to the wedding. the Allure Digital Photo Booth is now available at www.shiningstarphotobooth.com.

Francoach Announces Rising Demand for Structured Franchise Guidance Among Experienced Professionals
Francoach announced a continued rise in interest among mid-career professionals seeking a structured transition into franchise ownership. The company has identified a consistent increase in individuals pursuing business opportunities that combine operational independence with established systems of support. This development reflects an expanding recognition of franchising as a practical route to entrepreneurship for experienced professionals seeking financial stability and greater control over career direction. Franchising appeals to those with backgrounds in management, finance, marketing, and operations who wish to apply existing skills within a proven framework. By joining an established system, professionals can focus on execution rather than business model creation. Francoach assists individuals throughout this process, guiding them in identifying, assessing, and selecting franchises that align with financial capacity, lifestyle goals, and long-term career ambitions. The structured approach ensures that each candidate enters the process with realistic expectations and a clear understanding of operational demands. Industry projections reinforce this momentum. According to Franchise Creator , the U.S. franchise sector is expected to surpass 800,000 active units in 2025, contributing close to one trillion dollars in economic output. This data highlights both the stability and ongoing expansion of franchising as a sector that continues to attract skilled professionals from diverse industries. The combination of tested systems, brand recognition, and available training resources provides a foundation that can help new owners manage risk while building a business. Francoach emphasizes an informed and methodical approach to franchise ownership. The firm guides clients through detailed evaluations of franchise systems, fee structures, operational expectations, and market positioning. Each consultation is designed to help prospective franchisees gain a balanced perspective on potential returns, capital requirements, and long-term sustainability. The process also includes discussions about personal motivation, risk tolerance, and readiness to assume the responsibilities of ownership. Transitioning from employment into business ownership often requires both mindset and lifestyle adjustments. With a franchise, you have the chance to build something you own , supported by established systems that reduce some of the uncertainty associated with starting a business from the ground up. Francoach’s approach ensures that clients understand these dynamics fully before making a decision, focusing on alignment between professional experience, personal objectives, and business model characteristics. John Adams, Senior Franchise Consultant at Francoach, stated, “Many professionals reach a point where they want to apply their experience to something tangible that belongs to them. Franchising provides that opportunity within a structured environment. The role of Francoach is to ensure that every step toward ownership is made with clarity and confidence.” The trend toward franchise ownership among mid-career professionals reflects broader changes in workforce priorities. Increasingly, individuals are seeking pathways that allow for greater autonomy, personal growth, and control over income. Francoach continues to support this shift by providing the tools, research, and structured guidance necessary for informed decision-making in the franchise landscape. About Francoach Francoach is a franchise consulting firm dedicated to helping professionals explore and acquire franchise opportunities across a range of industries. The company provides objective education, evaluation, and personalized consultation to match candidates with franchises that align with their skills, investment level, and career goals.

Low-Cost Side Hustle Ideas & Tips For Professionals Over 50: 2026 Guide Released
One More Income Stream has released "HustleSmart," a guide designed to help professionals over 50 identify and launch flexible, low-cost side hustles that require minimal upfront investment. More details can be found at https://www.onemoreincomestream.com/ The timing of this publication coincides with significant industry shifts favoring experienced workers, particularly in the age of artificial intelligence, says the organization. The so-called "micro consulting" sector is experiencing notable growth as part of the larger consulting market, offering seasoned professionals the chance to provide specialized virtual consulting or coaching by delivering expertise directly to businesses or individuals. This expansion reflects increasing demand for targeted knowledge that professionals over 50 are uniquely positioned to provide, making the new guide from One More Income Stream particularly relevant. As many older adults increasingly use their free time to pursue additional income streams, this resource addresses a growing demographic seeking financial supplementation without the barriers of expensive startup costs or rigid schedules. It provides actionable steps for creating supplementary revenue while emphasizing opportunities that align with diverse lifestyles and existing commitments. Rather than requiring professionals to acquire entirely new skill sets, the guide emphasizes using existing expertise and resources. The team explains that for women over 50 in particular, a side hustle can represent the first step in building something meaningful and flexible, balancing personal passions with income-generating potential. The guide identifies specific high-opportunity categories tailored to this demographic. For instance, teaching and tutoring represent accessible entry points for those with subject matter expertise, with average hourly rates ranging from $20 to $24 depending on the subject and experience. Virtual consulting and coaching allow experienced professionals in 2025 to offer specialized guidance remotely, while other minimal-investment options provide diverse pathways suited to different interests and backgrounds. Beyond financial considerations, the resource acknowledges the psychological and social dimensions of pursuing supplementary work later in life. The guide frames side hustles not merely as income sources but as vehicles for personal fulfillment, community engagement, and continued professional relevance. The guide is available immediately as part of the company's free online course offering. Professionals interested in low-cost side hustle opportunities tailored to their stage of life can access the resource and begin taking actionable steps toward financial independence.

Medivet Issues Advice on Vaping in Close Proximity to Pets
Medivet, a leading provider of veterinary services in the UK, is calling on people to stop smoking in close proximity to their animals after growing evidence shows the serious health risks associated with second hand smoke and e-liquid exposure. Second hand or passive smoking in pets is when they breathe in smoke from cigarettes, e-cigarettes or vapes, and this smoke can be inhaled when in close proximity to the smoker. With vapes increasingly growing in popularity, with more than 100 million people now using them worldwide, more and more pets are being exposed to second hand smoke. Although vape smoke contains fewer chemicals than traditional tobacco smoke, it still contains substances which can be toxic to pets. A recent study, published in the Journal of Small Animal Practice, reviewed more than 300 cases of dogs exposed to e-liquids and vape devices between 2011 and 2024 and revealed that while many pets developed mild symptoms, some suffered severe poisoning, with at least one fatal case reported. Medivet has outlined the health conditions pets can develop as a result of second-hand smoke: Vomiting Excessive drooling Skin conditions Allergies Eye issues Heart disease Respiratory issues Cancer Dr John Beel BVSc CertVOphthal MRCVS RCVS, Clinical Services Director at Medivet, said: “Nicotine and vaping can be deadly for pets. “Exposure to smoke can cause problems either acutely or as a result of chronic exposure - keep them locked away and avoid vaping or smoking near animals. “Ingestion of e-cigarette liquid, depending on the amount, can also cause toxic reactions within minutes and can be every bit as dangerous for pets as more well-known toxic foods or items like rat poison.” Medivet’s advice echoes growing concern from animal welfare organisations and public health bodies. And it’s not just the smoke that is a risk; the ingestion of disposal vapes and e-cigarettes left around the house or found when out on walks, depending on volume and how it’s ingested, can cause similar problems for pets. In fact, Medivet’s clinics and emergency centres have treated multiple cases of nicotine poisoning and respiratory irritation linked to e-cigarettes and traditional tobacco smoke. Simple steps pet owners can take to protect their pets from cigarette and vape poisoning include: Ventilation – Keep windows open when smoking, or smoke outside to reduce the risk of second-hand smoke remaining in the environment your pet is living in. Tidy up – If smoking cigarettes, e-cigarettes or vapes in the vicinity of your pet, always make sure butts, cartridges and ash trays are tidied up immediately and kept well out of reach at all times. Keep things clean – Second hand smoke can often get stuck to pet fur, so regularly cleaning surfaces and furniture in your home is an effective way to minimise risk. Dr John Beel continued: “Pets don’t have a choice in the environments we create for them. Making your home smoke and vape-free is one of the simplest and most effective steps you can take to protect their health. “We’re asking all owners to keep nicotine products out of reach, avoid vaping indoors, and seek veterinary advice if you have any concerns around your pet’s health.” For more advice, visit: www.medivetgroup.com/pet-care/pet-advice .
