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).

BACK TO SCHOOL WITH DOUGHNUT X FP MOVEMENT

August 23, 2022

This is my all-time fave time of year. Pumpkin everything is right around the corner, kids are heading back to school (HOORAY OMG) and all things fresh happen now.

The only bummer with school being so digitized is I no longer take them on those epic shops at Staples for pens and notebooks. I do, however, order new lunch boxes and backpacks!

With their load being a little lighter, this year I tried out a smaller sustainable Doughnut x FP Movement collab for my son going into 6th grade. And grabbed very cool, waterproof bag for my daughter’s cameras (she shoots all day long at school).

In 2010, fresh out of university, two adventurous graduates, Rex and, Steven embarked on a mission to find the perfect backpack to accompany them on their upcoming travels abroad.

The bag they envisaged would be fun, functional, but most importantly, affordable. A bag that is capable of holding up against all the knocks and scrapes their expedition could throw their way.

Unfortunately for our two youngsters, they couldn’t find themselves the perfect backpacks, so it seemed the only option left was to design their own!

A decade later, what started as a small factory run of 100 backpacks has now turned into a globally recognized brand, available in 30 countries and counting. While the designs have evolved, the essence of the company remains the same; creating conscientiously crafted backpacks that embody the spirit of exploration while celebrating the brand’s Hong Kong roots.

Owala Color Drop – Water Bottles Just Happier!

June 9, 2022

You know it. You love it.

FreeSip

OWALA – The bottle that’s taking the market by storm. Of course, it’s leak proof, insulated (24 hours cold) and easy to clean—those are all table stakes. The real magic is in the FreeSip® spout—which allows you to sip through the hidden, built-in straw or chug through the wide mouth opening. It’s like multiple choice, but the answer is always right. Comes in insulated stainless steel or BPA-free Tritan™ plastic—whatever floats your boat.

My kids have these in their daily rotation during the school year. And I always refresh our set come summer to make things feel different and fun! AJ starts basketball camp next week and he will brining this adorbs new Tangerine color along with him!

 

 

Here is a bit about the New Color Drop series!

 

What is this Color Drop you speak of?

We thought you’d never ask! The Color Drop is our brand new series of special-edition colors. These bottles will be sold in extremely limited quantities. Only 500 bottles will be up for grabs. Once they sell out, they’re gone forever (but never forgotten… especially if you get one of your own).

If we had to guess, these Color Drops will sell out lightning fast. So if the idea of getting a one-of-a-kind color makes your heart skip a beat, don’t miss your chance to bring it home.

Really? You won’t ever restock them?

Nope. Unlike 90s styles, these colors won’t be making a comeback. But that’s the beauty of it… you’ll receive a bottle unlike anyone else’s. Well, minus the other 499 people who are also able to grab one. But the chances of running into those people are pretty low.
