Give the Gift of Amazing Facts with Ripley’s Believe It or Not!’s Newest Book, Shatter Your Senses

December 8, 2017 by Juliann

When I was growing up (in a family of seven children) it seemed that every year, one or two of us kids would receive a Ripley’s Believe It or Not book. Each child would eventually migrate toward the lucky recipient of this amazing book for a peek at it. Ripley’s Believe It or Not books are simply fascinating! Once you get one in your hands, it is hard to put it down!

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is back with the newest book in its bestselling series, Shatter Your Senses! You won’t believe your eyes (or ears or nose!) when you see the stunning photos and shocking stories. And true to the Ripley’s brand, the more than 1,500 stories are all new and ALL TRUE! The book contains sections such as Animals, Pop Culture, People, and Beyond Belief. There is something for every reader–and the entire family–all guaranteed to amaze, inspire and keep you coming back again and again.

Experience some of the stories that are sure to Shatter Your Senses!

  • SEE the world’s most expensive dress ever sold at auction, worn by starlet Marilyn Monroe and covered in over 6,000 rhinestones!
  • TASTE the freaky foods featured—from starfish skewers on the streets of Beijing to Australia’s witchetty grub!
  • FEEL the heat as you read about Taiwan’s traditional fire fishing!
  • SMELL the fresh air—which is sold to tourists in Guangdong Province, China, by the bag!
  • HEAR the crowds roar as performers like AcroBritt, Short E. Dangerously, Captain and Maybelle, and Hammer Head take the stage in Ripley’s Exclusive interviews, showcasing their unbelievable talents!

My kids also love Ripley’s Believe it or Not books. It is so much fun to read all of the absolutely absurd to utterly astonishing things that have gone on in the world. These books are perfect gifts that keep on giving all throughout the year. (We take our on long car trips to keep the kiddos occupied!)

Braxton is very happy with his copy of Ripley’s Believe It or Not!’s Newest Book, Shatter Your Senses

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.

Together, we're here to support moms through every age and stage of motherhood—from pregnancy to menopause—with helpful advice, product recommendations, beauty and wellness tips, and plenty of encouragement along the way. Plus more!

We are PR-friendly and love working with great companies!
