Fitnexa SomniPods 3 Earbuds Review: Having Trouble Sleeping? Maybe These Can Help!

Everybody sleeps. Duh. And yet, everybody is unique in how well—or how badly—they sleep. I tend to sleep rather well (and heavily), but occasionally I have bouts of sleeplessness. When that happens, I resort to background noise on my clock radio, a floor fan blowing in my face, or even music via my trusty Apple AirPods Pro earbuds. The point is that everyone has tried-and-true tricks that work for them, with varying degrees of success. Enter the Fitnexa SomniPods 3 earbuds. These light, tiny wonders can help those with sleep issues, but they are not perfect. 


Aranet Radon Plus Digital Radon Detector Review: Find Out in 10 Minutes if You’re in Danger

The Aranet Radon Plus Digital Radon Detector is one of those gadgets you hope you never “need,” but once you have it, you won’t want to be without it. Radon is invisible, odorless, and potentially dangerous, so having a simple way to monitor it in real time brings real peace of mind. After dealing with elevated radon levels in my own home a few years ago, I’ve become a big believer in keeping tabs on it, and this little sensor makes that easier than ever.


Birdfy Hum Feeder Duo Smart Hummingbird Feeder Review: Watch Nature’s Acrobats in Action!

A friend of mine has a pretty backyard with one of those Wi-Fi-enabled bird feeders. “It’s a lot of fun,” he said, “You should get one!” Well, I certainly do NOT have a pretty backyard, but I’ve often toyed with the idea of putting up a hummingbird feeder. What if I could attract hummingbirds AND get them on video? Enter the Birdfy Hum Feeder Duo, which boasts dual 2K cameras.


Eli Health Hormometer Cortisol Test Review: Feeling Stressed? Find Out If You Really Are

Everyone feels stressed at one point or another, but how do you know if it’s a chronic health issue or just a one-time problem? You can ask your doctor to test you, but it will involve a blood draw, be expensive, and the results will be for just that one point in time. What if you could test in the comfort of your own home without needles and have a result in as little as 20 minutes? That’s what the Eli Health Hormometer Cortisol Test Kit claims to offer. They sent me a kit, and I tried it. Let’s see…


Huffy Quantis Kids Bike (24-Inch) Review: A Little Assistance for the Little Ones That Comes with Some Caveats

The Huffy Quantis is a Class 2 electric bike designed for younger riders who are ready for something bigger, faster, and a little more grown-up. With 24-inch wheels, a rigid frame, a 250W motor, a 36V 7.8Ah battery, six speeds, three pedal-assist levels, and a left thumb throttle, it seemed like a smart next step for my 11-year-old son, who had outgrown his 20-inch bike and desperately wanted an e-bike. At 5 feet tall and 110 pounds, he fit the target rider well, while my 6-foot, 205-pound frame provided useful testing perspective.


Time Atlas App Review: Automatically Record Your Adventures to Relive Later

I still have my first diary from the 1970s, and over the past six decades I’ve filled dozens more. I’d actually rather call them journals or life logs, since I’ve never been the kind of person who writes about feelings much. I use a journal to capture everyday activities and adventures so I can relive them years later. There have even been years when I didn’t keep one at all, and I regret that now. Wouldn’t it be great if an app could automatically record your daily activities and travels for you? There is. It’s called Time Atlas.
