90 days to a sharper mind

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here




 Zeitgeist sent me this Logic Puzzles Book for Brain Fitness: 90-Day Challenge to Sharpen the Mind and Strengthen Cognitive Skills with Enlarged Print to review. As we age we need to keep our minds healthy. One easy way to do that is through puzzles like these which can help improve your logical thinking skills by stimulating your brain, testing your knowledge, and developing your reasoning and creativity.

This book has 90 days worth of puzzles in 6 different formats from easy to hard and teaches you how to to solve the puzzles if you have never done them before. If you are like me you pick up assorted puzzle books and do your favorites but leave the puzzles you don't know how to do empty. The large print is great for those who need it.



Puzzles like this Logic Grid Puzzle on the left I would always try but never finish, not sure why but I never got the hang of them but the informational pages that taught me how to do these puzzles I am doing them on my own now and getting the answers right. I am 52 and I strive to learn new things each day and this was a win for me. Logic Grid puzzles sharpen your logic and reasoning, develops perseverance, and encourages you to see the world from different perspectives.




Sudoku puzzles like the puzzle in the top left-hand corner comes quite easily to me and even though this has easy to hard I still love doing them and usually just breeze right through them. It is nice to have both easy and hard puzzles to do to keep your mind sharp. Think back to all of the years you had to learn your multiplication tables, the practice of reciting them over and over again is why some of us can still recall them with little effort. Sudoku improves memory, deepens concentration, and increases your capacity to analyze how individual parts relate to a whole. 



Calcudoku is at the bottom of the left page. I have seen these but they are one of the puzzles I would skip over and now I am learning how to do them. Calcudoku helps improve number sense, develops problem-solving skills, and prevents memory loss.

Battleship is on the top right page and is one of my favorite games to play but solving it this way is quite different and took me a bit but I am now doing well with this puzzles as well. Battleship improves creativity, increases spatial reasoning, and helps develope logical deduction and reasoning.

Kakuro on the bottom right and though I have seen and skipped these I am looking forward to learning how to do these soon. Kakuro helps lengthen your attention span, helps develop highly methodical thinking patterns, and increases your ability to use resources efficiently.


Masyu, which I am sure I have seen but only a few times and will learn how to solve once I get to that spot in the book. Masyu enhances visual intelligence, boosts your pattern-recognition skills, and increases adaptive thinking.

Most of us want to look and feel young but that includes taking care of our minds too. Here is to stronger better minds for years to come.

Winning Moves Games - New 2024 Games & Puzzles_Review.jpg

New 2024 Games and Puzzles from Winning Moves Games, the innovative game that combines the best elements of the Monopoly® game with the crossword-building play of Scrabble®. ~~~ Monopoly® Scrabble® from Winning Moves Games, the card game version of the classic 1990's game. Great for fun on the go! Be the first player to collect a complete set of jewelry cards and the crown card! ~~~ Pretty, Pretty, Princess® Card Game from Winning Moves Games.

Rack-O® Jr. is the first-ever junior version of the family-favorite game Rack-O®! The goal is to be the first player to fill your rack with cards, from lowest to highest. Number cards are color-coded to match the colors of the rainbow (and colors on the racks). Special cards add to the fun. ~~~ Yahtzee® Words from Winning Moves Games is a game like Traditional Yahtzee that presents gameplay with a delightful difference. Numbers are out and letters are in with Yahtzee Words. Players roll 7 dice and spell words with the letters they've rolled. Follow the score sheet and fill in the scoring blocks, just like in regular Yahtzee. Create words of different lengths, multiple words, roll "All Vowels" and more. Use all 7 letter dice to spell a sweet, 7 letter word and you'll score a Yahtzee! ~~~In Boggle® Jr. from Winning Moves Games, your preschooler will transform letters into words! Two different matching games encourage various skills and levels with fun, colorful pictures. Two-sided cards have 3-letter words on one side and 4-letter words on the other. In Match It/Spell It children look at the picture and word, then they find the matching letters, using the Boggle Jr. letter cubes, to spell out the word. In Cover It children use the word shield to cover the word and then spell (from memory) without seeing the letters. ~~~ The great game of Risk® The 1980s Edition from Winning Moves Games is a reproduction features the original 1980’s artwork and components. Can you acquire the most armies, play them most effectively and conquer the most territories? It’s worth the Risk to try! ~~~ In Twistables™ 2x2x2 Puzzle from Winning Moves Games, you mix up the Twistables puzzle and then twist the puzzle back in order, as quickly as you can, so that each of the six sides shows a solid color. Cool, contemporary colors and a fast functioning design make the Twistables 2x2x2 puzzle a joy to solve! ~~~ In Twistables™ 3x3x3 Puzzle from Winning Moves Games, you mix up the Twistables puzzle and then twist the puzzle back in order, as quickly as you can, so that each of the six sides shows a solid color.

Reviewing Reviv Serums Ultimate Serum

 This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.



Reviv Serums sent me their Ultimate Serum to try out. I have tried many facial products over the years and I am sure this is one of many more to come but I was pleasantly surprised by this Serum. I used this for 30 days and to be honest, it wasn't every day, but it was every day that I washed my face. I have a facial skin care regimen but I only do my regimen when I wash my face which has never been every day. I use my regular face wash, then a splash of cold water, and usually my moisturizer but during this time I used the Reviv Serums Ultimate Serum and then my moisturizer. I used this Serum on my face, neck, decolletage, and my hands. I was taught that whatever you put on your face you should put on your hands and I have done this my whole life. 



My before pictures are on the left and after on the right. Here you can see that my sunspots, freckles, and sun damage have cleared up a bit. This was after just one month of use. My skin color is more uniform and even though most people think I look more youthful than I  feel the serum has made me look just a bit more youthful.


Again on the left is before and on the right after. I'm not sure if you can see but there are three prominent spots under my eye on the left side and on the right side they have lightened considerably. 


Here on the top is the before and the bottom is the after. The lines on my forehead look about the same but the sun damage to my skin has lightened. My face looks brighter and my skin more clear. I am very happy with this product and would love to learn more about their other products. If you are interested you can find the Ultimat Serum from Reviv Serums here. https://revivserums.com/products/ultimate-serum
