Airthings Wave Plus indoor air quality smart monitor with Radon detection

Do you know the best time to open your window in a particular room to air things out? What about when to close the window and keep harmful air quality outside rather than entering your home? Airthings has a customizable and easy dashboard to help you monitor your indoor air quality.

With Airthings indoor air quality monitors you can put more than 1 in different rooms and view them all on one screen in your Airthings dashboard on your computer or device. Below, the user has 2 Airthings monitors in different locations – the lab and meeting room. On one page he can view both rooms.

What is Radon?

Who needs an Airthings Wave Plus?

Airthings is branded for families, employers and building managers. The air indoors can be up to 10 times more harmful than the air outside! It is hard to stay on top of your indoor air quality without a proper monitor and the Wave Plus has been fantastic as I use it to monitor the large game room upstairs on the far end of our home.

Our game room is always the hottest and stuffiest room and our home is less than a year old! Even new homes can have a room that just doesn’t fair well with air quality. It can be due to the location on the room. It can be due to the furnace and A/C routing and set up. The Airthings Wave Plus is for everyone!

My indoor air quality results with Airthings Wave Plus

When you first connect your Airthings monitor which is so flawless and takes seconds, you get some information that states it is scanning for a full 7 days to get the accurate results. This means you want to give the monitor 7 days in its new location before you are certain the readings are accurate for that space.

Above it states my TVOC (Total volatile organic compounds) is in the orange but the website says it has a settling time of 7 days and this is day 5, so I am not concerned yet. Also the humidity is going from normal to orange but again the monitor has been in that room only 5 days, but I would not be surprised if I always get temp and humidity alerts once all settles down.

With my Airthings Wave Plus, I get full visibility into 6 sensors including the 3 most serious indoor air pollutants, as well as detailed views of temperature, air pressure, humidity and additional sensors for advanced analytics options.

Notice above on my app screenshot that there is a grey arrow on the side to indicate I can swipe to a different page and that goes to the Radon sensor so you can get the Radon stats by day, week, month or year. Then you can share all stats. This is a great peace of mind to send to tenants or employees who work or live in your space you are monitoring.

Visit Airthings to find the right monitor for your space or home and while there you can visit their blog for helpful articles.

Drink Zyn: CURCUMIN from Turmeric in a bottle

Drink Zyn: CURCUMIN from Turmeric in a bottle

What is the difference between CURCUMIN and Turmeric? To put it simply, Turmeric is a root (like Ginger) known to have healing benefits. CURCUMIN is the bio-active source of Turmeric’s healing power and exactly what your body needs.

CURCUMIN is not readily absorbed by the human body when Turmeric is consumed by itself — for example in a tea or a juice. ZYN combines CURCUMIN with PIPERINE, which is an extract from black pepper, which is known to increase absorption of the CURCUMIN by 2000% (according to academic and scientific research). This means that the MOST beneficial ingredient within Turmeric will be absorbed so you get all of the healing benefits.

Research shows CURCUMIN has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. What are the harmonizing health benefits of CURCUMIN?

Aids in blocking effects of Glaucoma and Cataracts in some research
Contains anti-inflammatory properties, helping in some ways with relief from arthritis, joint pain, psoriasis, colitis
Reported to have health benefits and potential cardioprotective effect along with COPD and Hypertension
CURCUMIN may represent a new horizon in managing iron overload-induced toxicity
A very promising new therapeutic option for the treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatic diseases
Studies are promising in the potential that CURCUMIN can be a future drug of therapy for the treatment of various neurological disorders such as major depression, tardive dyskinesia and diabetic neuropathy

The ZYN drinks are one of the best ways I have found to get all you need for proper absorption of Turmeric and the right amount of the CURCUMIN from the Turmeric root. The flavors are fantastic. Of the 4 flavors, I like Pomegranate Cranberry best.

Head to DrinkZyn.com to try these for yourself and they have a store locator to check your area for availability.

New Essential-oil Roll-on Perfumes from Goddess Garden

February 23, 2018February 22, 2018 Erin Sluka

I am a Goddess Garden Ambassador and all opinions are my own

Phthalates and petrochemicals. How do those 2 words sound? They sound like chemicals and really don’t sound like something you’d want in products you use don’t they? These 2 are found in many fragrances you may have in your home right now. In fact, the rules regarding fragrance labeling are set up to protect the secret recipes of the companies that create them. So when you see the word ‘perfume’ or ‘fragrance’ on the label you have no idea what is really in them. Even more eye opening is that it won’t just be one harsh chemical or another, it can easily be a mix of several. It is time to spring clean those fragrances!

Do your research. If the brand or label is hiding the ingredients then find brands that are willing to be transparent. There are 3,100 synthetic scent chemicals known that can easily be within your perfume bottle you spray on your body’s largest organ, your skin! Brands like Goddess Garden want to step up and be transparent so you know exactly what is in each bottle. Why?

New Essential-oil Roll-on Perfumes from Goddess Garden has nothing to hide because they are made with essential oils and other natural ingredients. The founder of Goddess Garden’s daughter had serious reactions to the synthetic chemicals in conventional body care products. Because label reading was such a necessity for them, transparency has been Goddess Garden’s standard practice.

There are 5 Essential-Oil Roll-on Perfume scent blends: Wildflower, Citrus Sunrise, Rainforest, Amber Fire and Lavender Sky. See then PLUS their ingredient list at Goddess Garden/Perfumes. And keep in mind that scents are not only in perfumes, they are in cleaning products and other body products so look for the ingredients and if they aren’t there, it’s time to change those too!
