Level Up Your Work From Home Station With Fluidstance

March 28, 2020

Up your standing desk game now and thank me later, with Fluidstance.

We are trying to figure out this new WFH life. For so many of us – movement has slowed to a halt. Here’s a way to stay fluid and why you should…

WHY: The Science Behind the Balance Board

Your body isn’t made to sit in a chair for 8 hours a day, and you know it. 

Standing to work is better than sitting… but it can still leave you with posture problems, an aching lower back, and stiff knees and ankles.

FluidStance is an “omnidirectional” balance board – they let you tilt from side to side, front to back with 360-degree freedom. There’s just enough wobble to keep you burning calories — but not so much that it’s distracting.

If you want to stand more, choose the only balance boards backed by research from the Mayo Clinic. Your knees, back, and boss will thank you.

We are loving the classic Plane Cloud balance board, in 2 understated colors. It features the same carefully engineered, 360-degree-tilt geometry of their pioneering Level® deck, but with a smaller (and softer) footprint.

Stand comfortably for longer on the Plane Cloud’s cushy, textured foam top. Your natural micro-movements on this board will strengthen and stabilize your body, soothe stiff joints, burn calories, and keep you awake and alert — even through the overwhelming urge to curl up under your desk after lunch.

The Plane Cloud is made from 100% recycled materials, helping reduce landfill waste. Treat your feet AND be kind to the Earth? Talk about a win-win.

Also! Extruded plastic sourced from 100% post-industrial recycled materials used for the base of The Plane.

The FluidStance team has created a code for you guys!

It is GROOMED_15 and offers a 15% discount off the Level, Original and Plane Cloud decks!

The code is valid till April 30 for the time being.

Never Not Alkaline-ing.

December 18, 2019

*We Know That’s Not A Word And We Don’t Care Because ALKALINE.

The DYLAN water bottle  is here for all your in-bottle alkaline on-the-go needs.

The DYLN Insulated Bottle is a 950 mL, ergonomic bottle that alkalizes your water within minutes and keeps it cold for up to 24 hours.

Why Drink Alkaline Water?

  • Absorbs more quickly into your cells and hydrates you faster than any other form of water.

  • Detoxifies the body to improve blood circulation and boost the immune system.

  • Helps to manage a healthy weight.

  • Combats conditions like acid reflux and high blood pressure when drinking enough.

Simply put. Acid, no. Alkaline, yes.  When your body is too acidic you experience uncomfortable symptoms such as heartburn and acid reflux. However, the specific consequences of being too acidic oftentimes lead to other issues which can be detrimental to overall fitness and health.

To combat these problems and to achieve optimal hydration, Dorian Ayres founded DYLN, an alkalizing, vacuum insulated water bottle that can help combat acidity while simultaneously:

  • Helps manage a healthy weight
  • Increases speed of hydration
  • Improves blood circulation
  • Has anti-inflammatory properties

Each Insulated DYLN Bottle comes with a replaceable VitaBead Diffuser that increases the pH of water up to 9+ within 15-20 minutes, helping to neutralize the acidity in the body. DYLN reduces the Oxidation Reduction Potential of water to -150, helping to protect against free radicals, and enriches water with hydrogen, which has been shown to boost energy, improve recovery and lower inflammation. 

We love the bottle because it’s also sturdy and sexy. We are ga-ga over this green.


A part from having an alkaline diet, drinking alkaline water can help your body more effectively maintain its acid-alkaline homeostasis, supercharge your immune system, balance your body, and deliver optimal hydration.

This Heavy Hitter Weighted Blankets Will Be Your Biggest Gifting Hit

November 17, 2019

DID YOU KNOW THAT A WEIGHTED BLANKET….

The only problem I have had with my old one is – well…the duvet was super unattractive, stained easily and started to seriously pill.  Then I tried using it without the duvet and it was just a disaster. I’ve been looking high and low for a weighted blanket that was actually pretty. Enter the Corala – first of all it’s my favorite color – Living Coral (hello Pantone color of the year). And it comes with 2 duvet options – a cozy soft winter and a light summer one. But first – read on.

Why You Need a Weighted Blanket and so does everyone else in your life (as in BEST HOLIDAY GIFT EVER)

Higher Sleep Quality

With a weighted blanket, anyone can achieve deeper, higher quality sleep thanks to its ability to increase serotonin levels which relieves stress and anxiety

Deep Touch Pressure

The Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) of a weighted blanket is what promotes better sleep. DTP has long been studied and is now a common method for relieving stress, anxiety, and sleeplessness.

Backed By Science

DTP is a proven phenomenon. Sleep studies prove that applying DTP to the body triggers the release of serotonin, a hormone connected to relaxation and sleep.

ENTER The Corala Blanket and their gorgeous set.
I am totally in love with mine and I know you will be too.

1. Sleep management
Stress is insidious, and can wear down even the most driven among us. One of the most common symptoms of stress could be poor sleep quality and anxiety. By gently distributing deep pressure across your body, the Corala Blanket increases serotonin and melatonin levels. (Serotonin promotes relaxation while melatonin plays a critical role in the sleep/wake cycle.) Using a weighted blanket will equate to better mood, more restful sleep, and–ultimately–a more productive lifestyle. Backed by science.

2. Designer blanket
This is the only designer Weighted Blanket Set. Corala’s colors were thoughtfully selected by color professionals. In a sea of drab blanket colors, the Corala weighted blanket stands out gorgeously in 2019’s Pantone Color of the Year: Living Coral. MY FAVE!!!!

3. Complete Set
It includes the premium 60×80″ Queen size 20 lbs weighted blanket + a summer duvet + a winter duvet, to ensure you always have the perfect level of insulation. Best of all, the entire set is shipped in a super attractive Corala Gift Box suitable for gifting or storing.

The Corala Quality

The Corala Blanket comes with two duvet covers–one for summer and one for winter. Enjoy your Corala blanket year-round.

In order to keep weight evenly distributed, Corala uses a diamond-stitch pattern, securing a balanced amount of beads in each “pocket” across the entire blanket.

When it gets dirty, just throw the covers in the washer like all of your other bedding!

There are plenty cheap weighted blankets hitting the market using plastic beads, which are often filled with dangerous chemicals. Corala only uses lead-free pure glass beads in every blanket.

BEST OF ALL HERE IS A CODE!!
