Impactful for adults as well!…read more I am 28 and I was desperate for some way to clear away my brain fog. I have ADHD, and that caused me to struggle with switching tasks, focusing, and using my working memory throughout my life. These struggles were especially difficult in college and in my remote work. These struggles also gave me context for how necessary it was for me to improve my skills. Attending LearningRx was a transformative experience. While my fellow students tended to be 1-2 decades younger than me, the curriculum scaled quickly to keep me challenged and working hard. After 70 hours of in-person coaching and another 20 online, I felt like a new man! I could finally rely on my mind to remember, retrieve, and reconfigure information it took in. The mental skills I was lacking in jumped up 1-2 standard deviations. I am finally confident I can reliably use and activate my mental resources at will. Highly recommend for students of all ages!

Over the winter holiday, I discovered items from the vegan soap line on sale through Hallmark. Normally I'm kind of skeptical about vegan bath items, especially scented ones, because in the past the items I've tried from other companies were overpriced sizzle and no steak (pun!). However, these soaps were really attractive and offered fresh scents that would appeal to anybody (not only ladies). I bought a bar of Fresh & Clean for my husband's gift. He has both dry and sensitive skin, along with sensory issues, so buying something sight and scent unseen can be quite risky. Needn't have worried, as it turned out. He *loves* it. LOVES it. Doesn't dry him out further during this terrible winter weather. The bar itself is a decent size and easily grippable for showers or bathing, so it will last quite a while, and our bathroom smells incredible. All excellent reasons to purchase these products again. Oh, and he asked me to get more in the future, so that's all I needed to hear. Please never stop making this particular soap! I'll be trying the other products, too, so happiness all round.

His teaching style is clear, patient, and practical--he focuses on real-world driving techniques that prepare you not only to pass the CDL exam but also to drive safely and professionally afterward. Mr. Safe is extremely accessible and easy-going, always making time for his students. He works tirelessly every day until 7pm to ensure no one is left behind. Beyond being a skilled instructor, he is a kindhearted, genuine gentleman who truly cares about the success of his students. His professionalism, encouragement, and deep knowledge of CDL requirements made the entire process smooth and stress-free. A special mention also goes to his assistant Jimmy, who is a great man as well--always supportive, respectful, and ready to help students succeed. Together, they create a very welcoming and motivating environment. Because of their guidance, I passed the Virginia CDL exam and now hold my CDL license. I highly recommend CDL Safe Driving Academy to anyone serious about getting their CDL. If you want instructors who are patient, dedicated, and sincerely invested in your success, Mr. Safe and his team are the best!

This place is a community of makers. I've learned a lot so far, from woodworking to metalworking…read more Sewing, embroidery, Cnc milling, laser engrave and cutting, blacksmithing, there is so much to do and meetups with experts in the community. I joined about 2 years ago after Techshop shutdown, and I needed another place to continue my making needs. The hours is a little confusing at first, and they just recently revamped the website. So usually the makerspace is opened in the weekdays after 7pm and closes around 11pm-ish. Weekend I think is officially after 1pm til nighttime. On Friday nights there is alternating crafting and board game nights. And a tip for people who want to check it out, you don't have to wait for an open house specifically. To start, everyone has to take their "green go" class to learn the rules and structure of the place. (Keyword: community, it's all volunteer run). Then take the initial safety class per equipment and afterword you can either enter the lab by day passes, or pay $50/month to use the tools. There's another tier called key members that are community members that has contributed and volunteered, and are trusted with the keys to the place so you can go use the lab whenever. Definitely a really cool place!

Jennyfer was very rude, condescending, and unwelcoming to me. I have never felt so uncomfortable with anyone on the phone before. I emailed with an inquiry on availability for rental space and provided some ideas for volunteering that I could provide to the community. Not only did she imply that I had written "a lot of info to share via email," but then proceeded to ask me to what I wanted on the phone as if I was in an interrogation. She said, "Oh, I am sorry, I don't think you know who I am. Let me introduce myself....I manage Nova Labs and the Innovation Center... " This is unwarranted display of power and "gatekeeping" for a non-profit community organization. I had only visited the space several years ago when my friend had his office there. I am not aware of the politics or structure that she was implying about whether or not I was approvable in her eyes in becoming a member and volunteer with Nova Labs as well as whether I am qualified to rent an office space that should only be for"people who make things" not those who work at a desk. I make things using my computer and with my hands. Really disappointed and sad that this all just happened.
