Peruvian Naturals Maca Powder

Maca grows in the mountains of Peru. It’s been used by indigenous people for over 3000 years. The powder is derived from its root by harvesting and grounding. It has a pleasant smell and taste. It is also getting famous for its great benefits:

• Balances women’s hormones, and helps relieve the symptoms of PMS, Menopause and PCOS
• Fertility. Improves the quality of eggs, which is important for ovulation.
• Increases energy without jitters
• Improves mood
• Antioxidant booster
• Highly nutritious

It has a slightly sweet nutty flavor. There aren’t many known ways to use it, but you can easily incorporate it in your daily ration by adding it to your cereal / oatmeal in the mornings, or to your smoothies. This is my favorite recipe for winters:

Quick Comeback Masque by Alana Mitchell

Quick Comeback Masque by Alana Mitchell is my favorite mask to use after long-haul flights. It instantly refreshes my face, and erases any signs of a tiresome trip. It tightens and smoothens the skin faster than my beautician. I feel like it’s a milder version of Botox without the needles. The effect lasts for a few days, which perfect for a business trip, vacation, or a series of social events. What impresses me the most is that ingredients are natural and organic.

In the beginning, it might seem like a splurge for a one-time mask. However, if you compare it to what you would have paid to your beautician, it doesn’t seem expensive at all!

Anavita Deep Moisturizing Hand and Body Lotion

This is one of the best body lotions I have ever tried! I like that it’s light and fast absorbing. What I like even more, is that it absorbs deep into the skin tissue allowing a long-lasting effect. I don’t feel the need to use it every day. My skin feels wells hydrated for at least a couple of days.
98.5% of natural ingredients, 70% of which are organic truly make a difference. The smell is quite amazing too! It’s scented with Lavender and Lemon Essential Oils. Other active ingredients are:
• Aloe Vera (softens and heals, reduces inflammation and calms itchy skin)
• Chamomile (soothes and calms irritated skin)
• Green Tea (reduces free radicals and contains powerful antioxidant, improves skin’s firmness and elasticity)
• Olive Leaf Extract (anti-aging, prevents cell damage, fights bacteria and boosts skin health)

Winis 85"x85" Waterproof Tarp

I was looking for a new tarp for camping for a while. I’ve gone through a few in the past couple of years, and wanted to make good choice this time.

If you have doubts about the size, I always suggest going for the bigger one. You can always double it underneath your tent if you have to, but you can’t stretch it out if it turns out to be too small. I found Winis tarp to be the optimal in size and durability. It’s 85” by 85”, and it is a decent size tarp for a 3-4 persons tent. It’s durable, and feel like would last forever. Small rocks and branches are definitely not a threat to the fabric.

I really like that there are small openings for the pegs along the rim of the tarp. I also find it very convenient that the tarp comes with its own pouch. It’s easy to fold, pack and store.

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!
