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.

These headphones were designed for triathletes, but made for anyone who likes to listen to music while they swim, surf, run, bike, ski, snowboard or sweat.

“Combining our latest bone conduction speakers, Bluetooth, MP3 player and the stable fit of a behind-the-neck headphone, the H2O TRI headphones are designed take on any sport – in and out of water,” said Rauhala. “As a small but innovative brand, we are pleased to launch the H2O Triathlon Multi-Sport headphones and extend the use of our headphones from the swimming pool to the ocean, bike, mountain or trail.”

About H2O Audio
H2O Audio was founded in 2003 in San Diego, California just as a new era of digital music and portable MP3 players began to give people outstanding audio quality on the move. As avid watersports lovers, we wanted to extend that use to the pool and ocean. Designed by athletes for athletes, we now lead the field in waterproof headphones, MP3 players and Apple accessories, creating products with superior underwater sound.

Cerē Puts Your Sexual Wellness First

October 4, 2022

The ‘Black Card’ of Vibrators
Doctor-Engineered and Prescribed

If you don’t have your pleasure portal (aka the nightstand drawer next to your bed) fully loaded – I don’t know what you are waiting for.  Self-pleasure is self-care 101 – Let’s break this down with some facts from physician-developed collection of pleasure care essentials. Dr. Amir Marashi created the new level next level brand of self-pleasure goodness, called Cerē.

Only 25% of women experience orgasms consistently during sex. Even the mainstream media repeatedly references the vagina’s mysterious complexity, with entire film franchises like American Pie paying homage to the elusive female orgasm. It would seem as though a woman’s anatomy is misunderstood by most of the world (women included). So, perhaps the most shocking fact of all is how little this field of research has expanded over the last 100 years… until “Vagina Whisperer” Dr. Amir Marashi introduced Cerē pleasure care essentials as a means of ending orgasm inequity.  

 

In today’s society, it seems like a movement is underway to normalize discussing our sexual wellness more openly and how to fulfill individual needs is so important. 

With over 20 years of experience behind him, Dr. Amir Marashi, an internationally acclaimed OB/GYN and vaginal surgeon is at the forefront of taking the sexual wellness movement to the next level. As a pioneer in the field of female sexual health, he now goes one step further to shift the cultural conversation, introducing sexual pleasure as (gasp!) an essential aspect of wellness. Joining with research and development partner Dr. Kimberly Lovie, a Harvard and Yale-trained physician, chemist, and engineer, Dr. Marashi launched Cerē as the first-ever line of physician-developed pleasure care essentials. 

Now, a growing collection of toys and vibrators offers an elevated experience, lab-proven through a pioneering clitoral ultrasound research protocol. In fact, Cerē is the first sexual wellness company to publish its groundbreaking studies in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

The team also advances its global mission by donating a portion of proceeds to organizations seeking to improve sexual wellness, including by helping victims of FGM (female genital mutilation). 

“Across demographics and around the world, women are not climaxing at the same rate as their male counterparts,” shares Dr. Amir Marashi, a board-certified OB/GYN and internationally acclaimed vaginal surgeon. “It’s time to align pleasure and anatomy in blissful harmony, rediscovering sex as a vital part of health, rather than a cultural taboo.”

With over 20 years of experience behind him, Dr. Marashi has already made strides in the effort to close the pleasure gap between men and women. He is the renowned creator of the VagilangeloⓇTM procedure that has empowered hundreds of women to discover or rediscover sexual pleasure. He also authored the 2020 BlackBook release A Woman’s Right to Pleasure, with forwards by feminist icons Erica Jong and Roxanne Gay. As a pioneer in the field of female sexual health, he now goes one step further to shift the cultural conversation, introducing sexual pleasure as (gasp!) an essential aspect of wellness

Joining with research and development partner Dr. Kimberly Lovie, a Harvard and Yale-trained physician, chemist and engineer, Dr. Marashi launched Cerē as the first-ever line of physician-developed pleasure care essentials.

The brand initially made a splash with a luxurious Enchantment Gel, developed according to Dr. Marashi and Dr. Lovie’s own research with a warming, sensory-enhancing blend of l-arginine, l-citrulline, and soothing chamomile. 

Now, a growing collection of toys and vibrators offers an elevated experience, lab-proven through a pioneering clitoral ultrasound research protocol. In fact, Cerē is the first sexual wellness company to publish its groundbreaking studies in a peer-reviewed medical journal. The team also advances its global mission by donating a portion of proceeds to organizations seeking to improve sexual wellness, including by helping victims of FGM (female genital mutilation).

BROOKE BURKE BODY LAUNCHES INTO SUPERFOOD POWDERS: MEET LONGEVITY BY BROOKE BURKE BODY

September 28, 2022

The next evolution of Brooke Burke Body is here.

Welcome, Longevity: a nutrient-dense, plant-based superfood free of wheat, gluten, and dairy.

This new subscription-based option of superfood blends will become the next staple to your daily wellness routine. Think: more energy, better focus, increased endurance, and faster recovery.

The foundational launch includes two carefully crafted, proprietary blends made up of the ideal combination of non-GMO, raw, organic, plant-based superfoods in either Cacao or Cafe Mocha flavor.

Each flavor blend is packed with therapeutic levels of chia seed, flaxseed, green tea, probiotics, goji, and more in a single scoop serving. These carefully selected and concentrated nutrients, along with an active and healthy lifestyle, can improve overall physical and mental health and well-being.

And you can find recipes and more on the Longevity website, their Instagram and TikTok obvi, as well as on BrookeBurke.com and the Brooke Burke Body fitness app.

We were thrilled to chat with Brooke to hear more about this exciting evolution of her power-house brand. 

What made you decide to create your own line of nutritional super powders?

  • I’m always interested in evolving the Brooke Burke Body brand. Longevity by Brooke Burke Body is a collaboration between two like-minded brands that was, quite honestly, a really natural fit. I’ve really enjoyed being in the lab and being part of the development process. We hold each other to a very high standard and refuse to compromise the integrity of the brands, the quality of the ingredients, or the delicious flavor.

What makes your line different from the others? 

  • Everything about Longevity by Brooke Burke Body is different! Once you try it, you will be able to tell immediately. We use better ingredients. We don’t skimp on taste or flavor. And we’ve made fueling your body super simple. We have packed a lot of high-quality ingredients in one blend which means you don’t have to have a counter full of additional supplements or spices to make a great shake. I really do feel like the two scoops of Longevity that I put in my shake every day are fueling my body all day long.

Please share a fun recipe we can make with the powders!

  • There are so many! We’ve been experimenting with power snacks and baked goods, in addition to the shakes. One of my favorites that I keep in my freezer (my kids are always eating them, I can’t make enough!) are pitted dates, with a spoonful of almond butter. I sprinkle the Cacao flavor of Longevity on top of them to create a high-energy, high-protein snack. We also have a recipe for high-energy snowballs for the holidays, which is super fun to make with the kids. It’s oatmeal, honey, almond butter, and Longevity. You just roll them up and put them in the refrigerator and you can sprinkle coconut on top to make them look like snowballs for the holidays! You’ll be able to find these recipes and more very soon at www.longevitybybrookeburkebody.com as well as on my website www.BrookeBurke.com.

What’s next for the line?

  • New flavors! There’s talk of a fruity flavor powder for kids that reminds them of their favorite cereal as well as bringing in matcha and vanilla flavors. We’re also experimenting with different recipes to make it super easy and simplified for all our subscribers. The mint flavor is also delicious for the holidays!

My most sacred time of the day is….

  • My most sacred time of the day are mornings alone which can be hard to come by. Because I have a blended family, I really cherish moments alone when I can drink my coffee in bed, catch up on the news, do some mindful meditation and set intentions for my day … even if it’s only for 10 minutes without any devices. I’m trying to do a mandatory tech break every day, which is really hard to do because I run my business on my phone, but I think it’s really essential to give our brains a break from screen time. I’m trying to make that time meaningful and mindful.

My non-negotiable morning ritual is…

  • Coffee! I’m very specific about my coffee – I do drip coffee, I froth my milk, I have a special glass, I do a dash of cinnamon, I like it really hot. I even have a favorite to-go cup I take when I carpool the kids to school.

My go-to chill-out routine looks like…

  • Burying myself in someone else’s story by watching a great TV series. I’ve worked my way through everything, I think. My favorites of the year were Yellowstone and Handmaid’s Tale (obsessed!). Handmaid’s Tale was so hard to watch because it’s so dark but it’s truly one of the greatest series I’ve ever seen.

My guilty pleasure is….

  • Believe it or not, I really enjoy my mindful meditations. I have a gorgeous collection of sound bowls. I get a lot out of that time in my garden. I’ll go outside by myself and play my sound bowls and it’s a total reset whether I’m in a funk or need a mood shift or raise my vibrations or increase my energy or just chill out – that’s my go-to pleasure. It’s the hippy in me!

One thing I wish I had told my teen self is…

  • I wish I would have taught my teen self about stillness and the power of stillness – though I know she wouldn’t have listened or believed me. What I’ve learned in my 50s is the doing of not doing is a real thing. In other words, carving out time to do nothing is invaluable and it’s the only way we can listen to the language of our own heart; it’s the only way we can learn about ourselves and it’s the only way we can really look inside. Even laying down for 5 minutes all alone. If you’re brave enough to do that work, it’s invaluable.

We are already over the moon about this line and can’t wait to see how it progresses!
