All bright and shiny

☀️ Hello, sunshine! Let’s brighten your day with a few little upgrades.

  • I don’t like dark hallways and stairwells. These night-lights look nice and cost less than $10 for eight. Click the extra coupon!
  • Guys and gals, bags under your eyes make you look older. Swipe on some gentle under-eye cream (44% off).
  • Now, use some redness-banishing eye drops (8% off) so you’ll look like you got a great night’s sleep!
  • Do you floss every day? Uh-huh, sure. A water flosser (40% off) is easier and keeps your teeth sparkling.
  • White taper candles with no smell ($15 for 20) are my go-to for dinnertime.

33 mushers

Are taking on this year’s Iditarod dogsled race in Alaska because the usual route didn’t get enough snow. There are normally 50 to 75 mushers. The new course is farther north and now stretches a record 1,128 miles, forcing racers through endless wilderness and brutal blizzards (paywall link). You know, life is like a dogsled team. If you’re not the lead dog, the view is always the same.

Cover up: Keep your doorbell camera safe from rain, snow and the sun’s relentless rays. A silicone cover won’t interfere with night vision and slips on easily. Options here for Google Nest and Ring.
