Iridesca is the most complete therapeutic grade Superfood Powder supplement, rich in red pigments, with a pleasant, exotic taste. Iridesca Continues to Evolve Those of you that have been watching the progression of our Superfood Powder blends since we launched in 1989 understand that Iridesca didn't just suddenly appear.It is the product of continuous refinement and our ongoing dedication to provide the very finest Superfood blend that nature and technology can create.That quest did not end with the introduction of the original Iridesca.It has continued.

Today, the result is the most Incredible Superfood Powder blend ever - surpassing even our own best hopes and expectations. Perfecting Iridesca TasteIf these fabulous nutrients are going to get the chance to do their work, you have to get them into your body every day.

It's got to look good - and taste good! In one of the first taste tests, we blended Iridesca with a cranberry-raspberry juice, and Iridesca's taste became virtually transparent with that of the juice.

It simply thickened and took on the consistency of a fresh fruit smoothie. The majority of those who have sampled Iridesca say that it actually improves the taste of most juices, making them more exotic and more interesting! Perhaps the first thing you will notice is an entirely pleasant, fresh, fruity perfume upon opening the bottle.

This lovely scent of fresh fruit and tropical flowers carries forward into the blended juice. SmoothnessIridesca's smoothness is achieved by refining our blending techniques to result in a finer grind at nice low temperatures.We think you will agree that the extra effort is well worth it.

Iridesca is dominant in red tones, which comes primarily from elderberry juice powder, creating a red-brown color in any juice that you mix it with.

Color is a more significant palatability factor than one might first guess. Surveys have indicated that most people prefer a red drink over a green one. If someone is holding their nose at the expectation of a green drink, you may not even get them to sample it. If it is red, they are much more positive about giving it a try.

Probably my favorite summer rom-com ever!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Rules For The Summer by Meghan Quinn ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 🩷 Theo and Renley! 🩷 I cannot express how much I screamed when I was contacted by the Meghan Quinn team letting me know that I was going to be receiving this eARC! After reading this, I am now chomping at the bit to hear the audiobook! I need to hear this dialogue between Theo and Rupert and their accents so bad! Like yesterday. Theo and Rupert are big on the game of Truth or Dare and welp…this dare just may have gone a little too far. What was supposed to be all fun and games turned into Theo signing up on fiancé.com and since Theo is next in line for the lordship title, he got quite a few hits! Unfortunately for Theo, his dad (AKA Lord DHead) finds out and threatens Theo to follow through or he’s going to make Theo marry the armpit-smelling daughter of his friend. 🙊😂 Theo says NOPE and instantly finds the match he wants to make it work with. Insert Renley… Renley has just been awarded the town’s historic candy shop and it’s up to her to bring it back to all its glory. How does she end up being matched on fiancé.com? Well folks, she has a crazy aunt who told her she had the money for Renley to start renovating the shop but she doesn’t and so the aunt’s brilliant idea is to get a fincancier. One drunken night goes by and here comes Theo, proposing to Renley right there in her front yard! I LOVED the way Theo LITERALLY could not be deterred by Renley’s shut downs. How many boxes does this book check? ✅ ummm ALL OF THEM! Theo begs for just more time with Renley because he knows in his sweet little British heart that he is for sure going to win her over by the end of the summer which is his deadline. What Theo does NOT expect is to literally start falling for her and falling HARD. Renley has a hard time trusting people in general because the most important people in her life, her dad and her aunt, constantly let her down. So this girl is determined to NOT let anyone in ever again. Mmhmm. Yeah. Right. You will enjoy the banter (pfft…duh Meghan Quinn is the banter queen) and you will enjoy the spice. And once Renley starts realizing how magnetic Theo is, oh boy, do you feel the heat! 🔥🚒❤️‍🔥🧯 Let’s take a peak at these TROPES! ✨ 🥵Lot’s of Truth or Dare! (One scene will get you sweating! 🥵) 🥰Mix-up Meet cute 🌊Pond PDA (Super steamy!) 🍒Spicy toy time 📝Super cute note passing 🤣Laugh-out-loud moments 💙He falls first 🍭Candy shop fun 😏 🐴Hobby horse shenanigans A couple of my favorite parts (there’s so many but I’ll only list a few): “Gossy, the British are coming and you have no idea what’s about to hit you.” “Like this right here, says he’s FTD (had to put it backwards due to it being profanity) before commitment. Clearly it means he’s down to finance before fully committing.” 😂 “You can never trust someone planning to go on a walk in loafers. Absolutely not. 😂 “Are you asking me to show you how to be a real boy?” Go grab this book on May 5th!

Perfect Summer RomCom
Format: Audiobook
Typical Meghan Quinn laugh out loud fun! There is no author on this planet who can make me laugh out loud while reading book the way Meghan Quinn can. This is such a perfect summer read with such a fun cast of characters, dirty humor, and healthy communication between our main characters! I need a sequel of Aunt Kitty and Rupert ASAP.

a swing and a … 3rd base run
Format: Kindle
I want to preface this by saying Meghan Quinn is in the top 5 authors for me & for 90% of this book I was giggling & kicking my feet. Very princess & the frog (but sexy) of her - but the 3rd act drama honestly felt forced and kinda like drama for drama’s sake. I was annoyed with the quick acquiescence of our leading man over such a silly little thing, but luckily the annoying bit was short lived. it did take me out of the story long enough that I dropped it down to 4.25 stars.

Just such a fun story!
Format: Kindle
LitRPG/GameLit is a hit or miss genre to me, often concentrating on gimmicks with stats or using harem elements to draw in fans instead of concentrating on creating a good story with strong world building. With that said, the hits in the genre can stand up with the best of more traditional fantasy and sci-fi. Dungeon Crawler Carl definitely fits into the hit category for me. In fact, I rate it as highly as my favorites in the genre, 8-Bit Bastards by Joshua Mason and Mogworld by Yahtzee Crowshaw. The world building is just fantastic in this story. The idea that aliens would destroy all above ground structures, and then re-purpose them into an underground dungeon like a Role Playing Game is just crazy, but it works. Then inhabiting that dungeon with a mix of aliens and more traditional fantasy creatures, and some hilarious plays on modern culture (the KraKaren, for example) just shows the author’s creativity and warped sense of humor. The world is just basically an intergalactic reality tv show, but with real life consequences. And this is where the fantastic cast of characters comes in. Carl, the erstwhile title character, is just kind of an everyman, a Coast Guard vet who was just kind of meandering through life when the aliens came a knocking. Babysitting his soon to be ex-girlfriend Bea’s cat, Princess Donut, a prize winning show cat, he lucks out as she escaped out the window and he had to chase her outside when the buildings all collapsed. It only gets crazier from there, as he and all the survivors are told they have a specified time to find a stairway leading to the dungeon to try and save their planet, or be stuck on a barren waste of an earth. Carl, unfortunately, chased the cat out in his boxers, a leather jacket, and Bea’s crocs. So armored, he starts his adventures in the dungeon, as he must try and keep himself and Donut alive in the dungeon, while most of the things in the dungeon are trying to kill the “players”. Can you say Goblin Killdozer? Because Carl and Donut meet one soon enough, in a hilariously dangerous first contact. It only gets crazier from there as Donut is given intelligence through a prize in a lootbox, and becomes a player in her own right. She’s still a cat, though, so this leads to some hilarious situations as well, as they proceed through the dungeon to reach the second floor of eighteen. The rest of the characters are a lot of fun, ranging from an alien mentor in the tutorial guild that tries to help them while not getting in trouble, to a group of players escorting a bunch of people from a retirement home through the dungeon. This is hilarious and sad in turns, and is definitely not something I expected to see. The villains are the usual mix of bosses you’d expect in a dungeon, but with funny twists on them. They are also, in some cases, transformed humans who are playing a part against their will, making the fight against them that much more difficult. There are some choices Carl and Donut have to make that are heart wrenching, to say the least. It was not something I expected, but it added a whole new layer to both the character choices and the story. Some of the villains were just hilarious plays on pop culture, such as multi-level marketing fairies. The aliens that run the game are also an interesting bunch, giving a whole new meaning to cut throat businesspeople. Oh, and before I forget. The AI voice announcer is a total jerk, in possibly the most hilarious voiceover ever. The narration is performed by one of my favorite narrators, Jeff Hays. I have been a fan of his for years, because his production company, Soundbooth Theater, is one of the best in the audiobook market. He does such a fantastic job of bringing this story to life. Whether it be the voices of the various characters or the AI voiceover, which is hilarious, he gives each character a unique and very distinct voice all their own. You are never in doubt about who is speaking. Its hilarious when he has to read out Donut’s text messages on the chat, since she texts in all caps and he actually emphasizes that. It’s the little touches that really stand out, and his narrative pace is so perfect, he can give classes on how to do it right. If you have the chance, I recommend the audio version. I was so sad to see this book end. I was so enthralled in it, I was shocked when it ended, but I knew there were more books in the series on audio already, so I have that to look forward to. If you are a fan of LitRPG/GameLit, or just funny fantasy dungeon crawler stories, I think you can find something to enjoy here. I highly recommend this book, and the audio version especially. You won’t be disappointed.

Hunger Games, Hitchhiker's Guide, and Idiocracy all blended together
Format: Kindle
This is one of my favorite series I've read in years. I'll start with a summary of the basic premise of the series. There are some mild spoilers here but it's what I would have wanted to know before going in to the series: Former Coast Guard sailor Carl is just trying to get his cat out of a tree at 2AM in the morning when the alien Borant Corporation takes over the planet in the blink of an eye, killing the majority of the population. Carl, and others who've survived the initial assault, are then encouraged to enter a Hunger-Games-style elimination contest taking place under the surface of the planet. If any humans can survive all 18 levels of the World Dungeon, they will be granted back control of their planet and all its resources (as well as free health care for life). As it's better than freezing to death in a ruined city, Carl descends the stairway to find a world where high fantasy is brought to life through incredible technology, muddled together with distorted echoes of Earth life. In fact, the events inside the dungeon are being broadcast live as the latest season of Dungeon Crawler World, the most popular reality TV series in the known universe, watched regularly by quadrillions of sophonts. If Carl wants to stay alive, let alone make progress, he'll have to face crafty goblins, meth-addicted llamas, giant wasps, and many, many even weirder things. But like any reality show, being charismatic and sticking with the program also matters: attracting fans and alien sponsors will net him the best equipment, while deviating too far from the showrunners' intended story could see his struggle... accelerated. However, he doesn't have to do all this alone: the game has gifted his cat Donut with human-level intelligence and potent magic powers, turning her into a sassy, shoulder-mounted, spell-launching companion with a big personality. Over time, they find other allies as well within the labyrinth, people whose struggles they can relate to and whose backs they can watch. But before long, Carl and Donut realize that winning the dungeon isn't what they should be after. What they really want is to break the game, and to break it so badly that the rich aliens who organized it will regret the day they made others fight and die for their own amusement. Story-wise, I'd say this series is about 40% Hunger Games (similar basic structure), 40% Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (you will meet the many alien races that populate our galaxy and learn how each one is flawed in its own ways), and 20% Idiocracy (advanced technology... hasn't exactly made people, or aliens, smarter). It manages to be funny, suspenseful, and surprisingly sweet all at the same time, while being more than a bit of a social commentary. If you sometimes feel like the people at the top of our society don't... exactly have ordinary people's best interests at heart... this series may be for you. I've read all seven books so far, some of them twice, and am eagerly awaiting the eighth!
