Code: Robot Repair Game

This is a very fun board game. Learn how to code completely offline? Why not? The Robot Repair game is the third in the programming game series. I didn’t get to try the first two, but this quite fun on its own. If you like logic puzzles and brain teasers, you will love this game. You can even play it on your own, like a real coding geek.

The game consists of a challenge booklet, with 40 challenges in it, solutions booklet, 4 robot schemes, power and true/false buttons. The goal is to place correctly all the buttons on the robot scheme board, and complete the chosen challenge. 

The challenges range from beginners to expert.

I think this is perfect for the geeky kids and team players. This game is not competitive. It’s one of the few games out there suitable for 1 player. I quite enjoy it on my own to be honest. And yes, it’s ok if you’re an adult!

Blason Louis Wine – The Taste of France

As subscription boxes are getting popular these days, I have stumbled upon Blason Louis Wine Samplers. They deliver samplers of French craft wine to your door once a month. Each flacon contains about 3.4 ounces, a full glass. Their prices start from $15.90 per month for the box of 2, or $25.90 for the box of 4 flacons.

They come in a very pretty boxes with accompanying notes. The notes explain what your nose would smell, and what your mouth will taste. They also recommend the best food to pair the wines with.

I received Santenay 2013 and Chassagne-Montrachet 2011. Even though they both are Chardonnays, they taste quite different. Santonay is more fruity and spicy, and the Chassagne is more woody and floral. My spouse and I had a lot of fun this weekend playing the wine connoisseurs without leaving the house.

I’m excited to see what will be in my next box!

You can sign up here for your wine-to-door experience and get $20 off!

If you use promocode 20WINE, you can receive your $24.99 box for just $4.99. This offer will not last.

Zoodinos Magazine - Meet the Best Dinosaurs!

I found the perfect gift for my 5-year-old nephew who is obsessed with dinosaurs! The problem is that they look so cool, my spouse doesn’t want to share them!!

The series consists of 5 magazines, each dedicated to one of the dinosaurs:

•  Tyrannosaurus Rex, a.k.a. T-Rex
• Plesiosaurs
• Sauropods
• Ceratopsians
• Pterosaurs

They are all short and sweet, 16 pages well illustrated magazines, that will not overwhelm the little ones. At the same time, they are very detailed and descriptive. I also like that there is a little comic strip on the back of each magazine.

I’m going to start planning a family trip to the Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado!

Erno Laszlo White Marble Dual Phase Vitamin C Peel

I’m really impressed with the results of this peel! My skin looks so smooth and even as if I had professional beautician treatment. It was easy to use. I just followed directions, and used phase one for three minutes, and then applied phase two over it for one more minute. Having a very sensitive skin, I was afraid that my skin would be irritated afterward, but the results and experience were only positive! It smells amazing by the way. I’m very curious to try other products by Erno Laszlo.

Jadience Muscle & Joint Pain Relief Herbal Bath

Jadience Muscle & Joint Pain Relief Herbal Bath Soak is amazing! It has a very pleasant strong herbal smell. I like that it doesn’t foam or have any oily residue. It just feels like I’m soaking in a giant cup of delicious tea! The biggest, 16 ounces bottle, will last you for about 4 baths. I find its use more effective after my mountain hikes. I have a sedentary lifestyle, but every now and then I like taking my family up to the mountains, and hike, hike, hike. We are all sore afterward. Herbal baths really do help to relax and unwind. I’m very happy with this product, and will but it again, and again.

Dog Car Seat Cover

This seat cover is different from all the other hammocks that I got previously. My dog has broken all of them. This is the one that lasted the longest. It is very sturdy. The trick that extends the life capacity of a dog hammock, is to put some of your luggage on the floor of the back passenger area. This way when the dog wants to be nosy, and look out the front window, its weight doesn't solely fall on the hammock straps, but is also supported by your luggage.

I like that this seat cover completely covers the back-seat area. The openings for the seat belts are very small. The dog hair doesn’t get through it. All the hair stays inside the hammock. Sometimes it is difficult to get the hair off the hammock. Shaking off doesn't help, you have to vacuum clean it. But I'd rather have the dog hair inside the hammock than all over the car.

It's waterproof. I don't have to worry about my dog drooling all over it, and staining the car seat. I can also give him some water without worrying about a few splashes.

The hanging straps are adjustable, and thus this hammock would fit almost any car. The bases of the straps are covered by leather patches for additional sturdiness. I’m truly impressed with the quality!
