Getting warm and staying warm can be a struggle! Create the perfect temperature with CozyThrow💤

February 3, 2023

These new, patent-pending blankets are designed with comfort, warmth, ease, and flexibility.

PERFECTION for my kid who has a major Sensory Processing issue. She LOVES it.

Liz Holland, the CEO of Sensory Product Design, didn’t know she had Sensory Processing Disorder until her 50’s. Following her diagnosis in 2015, she realized her entire life had been spent making prototypes and devices to help others with SPD.

The daughter of an inventor who held more than 100 patents, Liz launched CozyThrow💤(pronounced “cozy throw-zees”) & CozyCo💤(pronounced “cozy co-zees”). Designed by someone with Sensory Processing Disorder, who’s range of comfort is very narrow, this blanket is the most versatile blanket you’ll ever own.

“I want to shine a light on SPD, Sensory Processing Disorder and help people start to understand this complex neurological disorder,” said Liz Holland, CEO of Sensory Product Design. “After I was diagnosed with SPD in my early 50’s, I began to put the pieces together and started my mission to help people find solutions. CozyThrow💤and CozyCo💤can fend off triggers before they happen, thanks to their plush, non-pilling quality fleece fabric and ability to regulate temperature, saving people time and energy.”

Beyond warmth, CozyThrow💤 and CozyCo💤promotes a sense of calm. It’s perfect for busy toddlers that have a hard time settling down. The CozyThrow💤offers adults the same sensation of settling the nervous system.

CozyThrow💤 and CozyCo💤 include a foot pocket that is double lined with polar fleece and flares around the ankles. The hand pockets have finger & thumb openings that offer total, unrestricted comfort and the ability to hold almost anything to ensure warmth and mobility.

The super-soft, plush, non-pilling quality fleece fabric reduces potential sensory triggers and is comfy for everyone. It also stands up well to continuous use. It’s made to blend seamlessly into the home and use as an everyday throw blanket.

These durable blankets are designed to last while relaxing or during play. They can also be tossed in the washing machine and used as an everyday throw blanket.

CozyThrow💤and CozyCo💤are available for pre-order at a discounted price of $39 and $49. To pre-order, click here.

Sweat And Surf Have Nothing On These Waterproof Bluetooth Headphones

October 11, 2022

The biggest issue I’ve had as a fitness trainer who teaches my signature class (The Work IN) via Zoom is this: Sweaty air pods falling out from sweat, getting clogged from sweat, and slipping out while I teach. I have tried several hacks – wearing a sweatband (looking like John McEnroe ) to keep them in, but even so, I still have the issue of them clogging and losing connection. I also take sweaty hikes, and once again, the clogging, slipping, the dreaded falling out into the dirt road, searching for the dirty pod, cleaning it, and reconnecting. A major pain.

Enter H2O Audio, with their new waterproof headphones, designed for multi-sport use. They are not only waterproof bone conduction headphones, but they go beyond the highest waterproof IPX8 rating by being submersible up to 12 feet of water for an unlimited amount of time.

The perfect gift this holiday season for the sport enthusiast in your life.

Music increases endurance significantly. Think: Listening to your favorite music while you work out, and running to your favorite jams with no issue of sweat or falling so you can run harder, bike longer and swim faster without fussing constantly.

 

The “TRI Multi-Sport Headphones with Bluetooth and MP3” have a built-in MP3 player and Bluetooth, hold 8 GB of memory, and offer 9 hours of battery life.  No wonder…H2O Audio is the world leader in waterproof headphones and accessories,

H2O Audio, the world leader in waterproof headphones and accessories, launched its H2O TRI – Triathlon Multi-Sport Headphones.
