Sleuth & Solve: Science: 20+ Mind-Twisting Mysteries Book Review

Sleuth & Solve: Science: 20+ Mind-Twisting Mysteries

We have always been a fan of the Sleuth & Solve books in our home! I love that they keep making new mystery books and this is their newest. The Sleuth & Solve: Science edition has 20+ mind-twisting mysteries to solve. There lies a mystery or puzzle to solve on every page and the answers are under the flap, so no spoilers until you lift and see.

The mysteries require science, technology, engineering, and math concepts to solve. There is a scientific explanation and ideas for STEM experiments included. This book series, from Chronicle Books makes a great gift for science and mystery lovers ages 8-12.

Pre-order on Amazon. Release date is October 25, 2022!

essential oil set sold seprately

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

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

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.

Luster Premium White’s Pearl Infused Pro Light Dental Whitening System 

Luster Premium White’s Pearl Infused Pro Light Dental Whitening System 

Finally! A dental whitening system that doesn’t have me drooling a gooey mess or keeping film in my mouth for long periods of time. I love that I get results in about 3 minutes and can head out the door! You get everything you see in the kit above and easy instructions. Even the items have their step order displayed on the front labels.

I use the rinse for 10-15 seconds, paint on the whitening serum and place the Dual-Energy Pro Light close to my teeth until the 2 minute timer beeps. I then give a quick brush with the whitening toothpaste to remove excess serum and that is it! The results are fantastic!

It uses both light and heat, making the Luster Premium White Pearl Pro Light teeth whitening system quicker and more effective. Developed by dentists and the results seem as good as the professionals! You can order the whitening system on Amazon!
