I created a photography website that is mostly #birds 🪶 but also squirrels, flowers, marine mammals and a super cute dog (will add a pic of my other dog soon so he doesn’t feel left out): crystaltomusiak.smugmug.com

I’m not sure if it’s for everyone but the device makes it like a little fun game for me www.cnet.com/health/fitne...

Muse S Athena Review: A Brain Fitness Tracker That Lets You Fly an Owl With Your Mind

This neurotech device tracks brainwaves and oxygen levels to improve your mental fitness. I tested it to see if it's worth the $475 price tag.

I don't know how to meditate but have started to use my Muse Athena (a kinda neurofeedback like headband that can support meditation) because I need training wheels.

Have You Heard of Xylitol Toxicity?

It’s in so many foods and I live in fear of the dogs getting a hold of something containing it (eg food or gum someone discards).
