Homeschool ACT Prep

I love reading tips on how not to mess up the ACT..  Check out these amazing Homechool ACT Prep tips!

I started helping homeschooled students with ACT prep over 14 years ago as I helped our children and then students from other families in classes. Now, more than ever, it makes sense to laser focus on the ACT.

Standardized tests like the ACT and SAT are critically important for two reasons – they are an important part of the college admission decision and academic scholarships are often based directly on this score (higher score = more scholarship money). This score may make the difference in a college acceptance decision or in thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships.

The Korean Skincare Routine

- Mysterious Ramblings Leave a comment

From essences to sheet masks, the Korean Skincare Routine is spreading like wildfire. And though most people wrote these products off when they started gaining popularity outside Korea, the unbelievable worldwide acceptance is a clear indication that they’re here to stay.

Despite the clamor over Korean products, there’s one aspect that either draws people to the routine or pushes them away; it’s an extensive 10 step regimen that requires fierce devotion. Don’t worry though, as a K-beauty addict I’ve learnt to curate these steps to align with my daily routine without having to feel like it’s a burdening life sentence. And though, you’ll not achieve the flawless complexion overnight, I can guarantee the results will be worth your time.

Make Espresso With Keurig

- Mysterious Ramblings Leave a comment

Keurig gives you access to a very wide range of coffee and other beverages like hot chocolate. However, espresso is different. For a conventional Keurig coffee maker, whipping up an espresso is a rather difficult task. And that’s assuming you can get espresso out of the Keurig. Here’s how to make it possible.

What Is A Genuine Espresso?

A rich shot of coffee crowned with some foam is the image of espresso everyone has in their minds. In its conventional sense, espresso is made using finely ground coffee. The grind is one aspect, but it is not the defining aspect of espresso. The defining aspects are pressure and temperature.

A good espresso needs at least 9 bars of pressure and should be brewed at the water temperature of 190-195 degrees Fahrenheit. And therein lies the problem of the Keurig coffee maker. There is no mechanism to add pressure in a Keurig and its brewing temperature is lower than those listed.

Even dedicated espresso makers struggle to meet those temperature and pressure conditions. However, since the Keurig does not generate nearly enough pressure, making a genuine espresso is difficult.

To be clear, the requirements listed above apply to coffee machines. People do enjoy espresso made with other methods that don’t follow the above requirements. These include the Moka Pot and French Press espresso. Read more

Why You Should Consider Smoking Light Marijuana (CBD)

- Mysterious Ramblings Leave a comment

In countries where marijuana is illegal, there are movements to try and push for its legalization. This is because studies have shown that marijuana is beneficial as it increases your creative potential. It reduces depression, helps you shed extra weight, and lowers the chances of diabetes, among other reasons.

What is Light Marijuana?

It is essential that we now shift our focus to research done by a team of modern medical researchers about light marijuana. Light marijuana consists of hemp flowers that have a high concentration of cannabidiol, which is abbreviated as CBD. It is low in tetrahydrocannabinol, abbreviated as THC, with a percentage concentration of about 1 percent. The popularity of light marijuana has grown at a tremendous rate, and this can be said to be due to the health health benefits of CBD for the human body. In most countries, it is only light marijuana that is legal.

We all have reasons for our preferences of one thing over the other. When it comes to cannabis, some want the psychotropic effects, which requires THC. In contrast, others are only interested in anti-inflammatory and anxiolytic effects, which are brought about by high CBD content. It is now crucial that we discuss the three primary values of using light marijuana.

How To Get Your Car Road Trip Ready

- Mysterious Ramblings Leave a comment

Taking a road trip can be fun and spontaneous, but there are always a few things that should be done before embarking on any extra-long journeys. Here are some of my tips on how to get your car or truck road trip ready.

Check Your Vehicle for any Problems

There are several problems that can happen when you are out on the road, but if you take some of these steps, hopefully, you won’t run into any!

Before we leave on any trip, my husband checks all of the fluids in the car. He checks the Oil, Transmission Fluid, Power steering Fluid, Brake Fluid, and of course the Windshield Solvent.

Other things you can do are:
– Fill the Gas Tank
– Air up your Spare Tire
– Check to see if your lights are all working correctly
– Look at your wiper blades, and make sure they are in good shape. The last thing you want is to get stuck in a rainstorm with bad wiper blades. Read more
