I owned the second generation Meta Quest series, and while I loved it, I did have a few complaints. First, be prepared to purchase the additional head strap – it makes a huge difference in comfort. Second, after about a year, one of the hand controllers completely died and with limited options to replace just the controllers, the set became unusable.
However, while it worked, it was some of the most fun we’ve had playing video games as a family. From bowling to the Beats Light Sabers game, it was both engaging and great exercise at the same time.

I know the sticker price is shocking, but for your chef-enthusiast loved one that simply can’t resist the ultimate set of cookware, this Caraway 16-piece cookware set is the gift that will keep on giving. I have this set and it’s been used pretty much daily, so while I’m not the chef in the household, my husband agrees this is the most premium cookware set we’ve ever owned.

If you’re looking for a more reasonably priced cookware set, we might suggest taking a look at the budget-friendly CAROTE set, which has some of our coworkers raving. She gave me her honest review after purchasing it, saying: “These Carote pots and pans are basically a Slip ’N Slide for your food. Nothing sticks and everything cooks evenly. Plus, they’re stunning. The interchangeable handles are super handy (pun fully intended) and feel solid; they only unlatch when you want them to.
Treat them right (no metal utensils) and they’ll last. We’ve had ours for six months and they still look straight-out-of-the-box new. Highly recommend! Truly the best bang for your buck. They’re so affordable right now you could grab a set for yourself, another for a friend, and according to girl math… still have enough left over for an iced coffee.”

BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask
(Amazon)
Features:
Sheet mask with hyaluronic acid, collagen and niacinamide for brightening and hydrationUse: After application, becomes transparent after 3+ hours for deep ingredient deliveryEach mask contains 1.19 oz of solidified essenceIdeal for most skin types, though sensitive skin users may get breakouts after use
Collagen masks are designed to enhance hydration by acting as a protective layer on the skin surface. After working on numerous skin care articles over the past year, I personally set out to test the Biodance Bio-Collagen Masks after they went on sale during Amazon Prime Day.
Upon application, it feels almost like a jelly slathered on the skin, so it was very cooling and slick though it stays in place fairly well. After about 30 minutes, you can feel the mask begin to harden slightly as the essence is absorbed, and by around three hours it should be almost entirely transparent and ready to remove.
My skin was very soft and moisturized after use, though I noticed that if I don’t wash my face afterwards, I could see the early signs of a breakout forming, which was not ideal.
