GuruNanda Halo humidifier and essential oil diffuser for the home

September 30, 2022October 3, 2022 Erin Sluka

I love the modern look of my new Halo humidifier and essential oil diffuser. I love having scents in my home especially after weekly deep cleans. The last thing I do when I clean a room is run scents so I get that clean smell and feeling.

I like to use invigorating and fresh scents during the day and calming or restful scents at night. I love my oil diffusers as they offer fun scents without the hazards of flames or hot wax. I just feel safer using a diffuser. I love my newest Halo humidifier and essential oil diffuser from GuruNanda.

This 2-in-1 Ultrasonic essential oil diffuser and humidifier emits a powerful, room filling fragrance while humidifying simultaneously. It is easy to use and clean. The Halo has multiple customizable settings so you can use it in the best way possible for your home. It will help eliminate dry air, has 22 hours run time with each fill and features shut off mist timers, optional light modes, sleep mode and an automatic safety shut off. I use the GuruNanda 100% pure and natural essential oils with mine for the best scents and therapy.

Get fit while Playing Games & Workouts with Plankpad PRO Total Body Trainer

September 29, 2022September 23, 2022 Erin Sluka

One of my favorite spaces in my house is my fitness room. Over COVID I transformed a storage room into a home gym. I have slowly accumulated weights, machines and now I have the Plankpad PRO. This a plank and balance board that gives you a few options to motivate you as you work your whole body to get fit. You can see and feel the quality of this board right out of the box. The app has been flawless as well.

If you incorporate one exercise into your day, above all you may want to master and learn to hold a plank. When you hold a plank, you are working your arms, shoulders, back, abs, glutes and legs simultaneously. It is such a great exercise for the entire body. I always incorporate plank holds in my warm up before weight training. Now, I am even more motived to fit a warm up in with the fun games I can play as I work my body.

Once you download the free app you have options to choose a game that all have levels of easy, normal or hard. You can also choose workout videos and challenges. You also get a poster of a 30 day challenge. As you move through your 30 days you can choose to incorporate the workout choices to get your time in. I started with some Fruit Ninja because I have always loved that game. You get a timer in the upper corner so you know when it’s quit time. I dare you to stop cutting fruit right at 30 seconds or 1 minute…you’ll hold on just a bit longer!

The Plankpad PRO belongs in every gym for those times your motivation slips. I am in love with how fast I began holding my planks longer than I ever have. 2 weeks in and it has been a smooth incline through the challenges. This will make a great gift for the fitness enthusiast this year! Visit Plankpad PRO online and when you are ready to shop, find it available on Amazon.

The benefits of consuming Manuka Honey

September 12, 2022September 12, 2022 Erin Sluka

Maybe you have heard of manuka honey. If not, Manuka honey has gained attention for its abundance of therapeutic effects from certain bacteria ailments to skin and immunity improvements. The Manuka plant of New Zealand is climate-sensitive and only flowers two to six weeks per year, making the honey a scarce resource.

Manuka honey can be great for your gut. According to a report published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, manuka honey had been found to be potent against 7 different Helicobacter pylori (h pylori) strains, but a similar effect was not observed with other types of honey. Using a Manuka honey with a UMF 10+ or higher seems best. UMF™ 15+ sits in the middle, between everyday wellness and more therapeutic uses. For this reason, it’s our all-time best selling Manuka honey.

This honey is also great for your immune system. Lab tests have shown that manuka honey contains certain substances that can stimulate cytokine production. Cytokines are signaling proteins involved in immune reactions by the body. They kickstart the defense mechanisms of the body and gets it to fight off pathogens and diseases.

These are just a few of the many benefits of manuka honeys. Shop the New Zealand Honey Co. to begin adding these benefits to your health!
