Those crying babies will soon be our whole nation.  I cringe to see what we are in for the next 4 years.

  BEKKATHYST AUTUMN 2016 GIVEAWAY

~This giveaway is in no way affiliated with Tumblr.~

Please read thoroughly before entering!

Hello lovely Tumblr folk! It’s that time again- I have a giveaway for you all. This time I’m celebrating the opening of my brand new website and the first release of my Autumn/Halloween collection of 2016!  

All these items came from either my shop or are miscellaneous items I’ve collected. 

What you get:

(Handmade by me) Smoky phantom quartz crystal point necklace in copper on a copper chain

$50 credit that can be applied to anything in my shop. 

8 clear quartz points

large polished amethyst point from Brazil

a huge assortment of tumbled stones 

4 tealight candles

a large sustainably harvested California white sage bundle 

a watermelon tourmaline crystal mined in San Diego co., CA

a gorgeous, very high quality purple labradoite cabochon that you have the option of getting wire wrapped by me!

3 packs of different incense blends 

Rules:

You must be 16 or older. (If under 18 you MUST have parent’s permission)

If outside the US, you may need to pay some shipping costs if it exceeds $20. (It depends on your country)

You must be following me, so you can get updates if anything about the giveaway changes.

Please check out my shop and if you’re interested, you can sign up for my email newsletter here. (Totally not necessary or required, it’s just an option!)

DO NOT tag this post as giveaway. That will risk the notes getting messed up, and this will be ruined for everyone. Please don’t argue about this- for some reason people have said really nasty and mean things to me over this.

Reblog this post to enter. Likes count, too. No giveaway or spam blogs. If you reblog on a side blog, let me know in the tags what the name of your blog is that you’re following me with.

Please don’t spam people with reblogs- you can reblog however many times you’d like, but please be courteous.

Each entry will be assigned a number and the winner will be chosen by a random number generator.

The giveaway ends Saturday, October 29th at 6 pm Pacific time.

The winner will be messaged and must respond with their full name and address within 24 hours, or a new winner will be chosen.

Please respect me and my rules, and have fun!

lol.  I think sometimes we all have moments like this in life.

According to a study published in the journal Science we have a new record holder for longest living animal with a backbone: the Greenland shark. The previous record-holder for the oldest vertebrate was the bowhead whale, known to have lived up to 211 years.

The researchers used radiocarbon dating techniques on the eye lenses of 28 females caught as by-catch. Their best guess for the age of the oldest shark they found is 390 years. But it could have been as young as 272 years or as old as 512.
