One Question a Day Journal for Kids

“This guided journal for kids offers a year’s worth of quick and easy questions that inspire them to write a little bit about themselves every day.”

paperback, 144 pages

Great workbook for creativity and imagination in the classroom. The writing prompts are positive and varied. A very simple format that can be used a variety of ways. Empty date boxes let you move along at your own pace and at your question of choice. There are three questions per page and three lines for writing. A little color keeps the page clean and not distracting. The student can read the grade appropriate questions themselves. A good resource for creative writing. (and handwriting practice)

Good Food Bad Doodles

Created by a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist with years of one-on-one counseling experience, this illustrated book will walk you through all the basics and not-so-basics of nutrition without burdening you with overly-complicated explanations or confusing scientific terms.

The Ultimate Illustrated Nutrition Book for Beginners

Paperback, 108 pages

This is a book that’s packed with lots of important information about eating healthy. The author takes the bulk of nutrition information and organizes it into retainable sections. While the doodles are very simple, they have a lot of character! And importance, as they are a clever way to aid learning. Equal parts text and doodle prompts, I found this book to be a fun source of information for adults and high school students. I highly recommend. 

{My only comment I feel compelled to mention would be about artificial sweeteners. My opinion is that anything artificial (sweeteners, colors, preservatives) is bad regardless of the amount. Don’t buy foods with it in, and then they will stop making it}

Better Shea Butter

Better Shea Butter products are manufactured, packaged, and warehoused in Austin, Texas. (headquarters) This company offers simple, healthy skincare from carefully selected ethical, fair trade suppliers.

This woman owned business started with Unrefined Shea Butter.

Unrefined Shea Butter is a nutrient rich cosmetic butter packed with vitamins and antioxidants. It deeply moisturizes the skin to help soothe and repair dry, itchy, cracked skin and maintain a healthy glow. Its properties also make it effective in evening out skin tone, diminishing blemishes, dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally Shea Butter can be used on the scalp or in the hair to stimulate growth, tame frizz and lock in moisture.

This is a semi soft butter, it melts upon skin contact so can be applied as it is or mixed with other ingredients to make skin and hair care products. Shea Butter is vegan and safe for all skin types.

I love cruelty free and 100% natural. 

First time using Shea Butter and it is amazing. I use at night on my face and arms. It is a solid but spreads easily on warm skin. The fragrance is clean and subtle and the texture is very light and creamy. Better Shea Butter is the perfect way to end the day. I hope this review will inspire you to give it a try.

Pro-Tec Athletics

Since 1991 Pro-Tec Athletics has led the way in designing specialized support and massage therapy products to help you recover, restore, and perform your best.

Pickleball athletes check this out! Pro Tec Athletics have products for the elbow and wrist, lower leg and ankle, upper leg and back, knee, and foot.

 

Ankle Sleeve – Neoprene sleeve provides snug fit, providing effective support.

Tested size M. Good for moderate support and stability. This is basically for some warmth and compression. Go with another ankle brace if a higher degree of stability is needed.  

PF Sleeve -The PF Sleeve is an open toe sleeve designed to alleviate conditions of Plantar Fasciitis. Includes specialized compression zones for arch and heel support.

I reviewed a size M on my right ankle over a sock during activity (not during pickleball play). I do not have plantar fasciitis but enjoyed this sleeve for the support it gives. It’s comfortably tight and it doesn’t cut off circulation.

Spiky Ball – Firm massage ball provides deep tissue massage for the foot. 

A 3″ red ball with spiky outside. Good for circulation. I also find it a good de-stressor. It can also be used elsewhere such as calves. Made of hard plastic, not squishy.
