The mission: Sleep deeply, wake up refreshed, and kick the smartphone out of the bedroom.

• Two-phase alarm that first brings you out of sleep, then lifts you back to consciousness.
• Customizable alarm tone, volume, and day of the week settings.
• High quality white noise machine and nature soundscapes.
• Updatable wellness content, including breathwork, sound baths, and guided meditation.
• Bluetooth speaker to enjoy your own music and other audio content.

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.

 

Celebrity Trainer Kollins Ezekh On Why It Wearable Tech

June 7, 2022

Wearable technology, particularly within the fitness industry, is resilient to fads. Despite the rise of demand for wearable technology to improve health, skeptics question the benefits. Celebrity trainer Kollins Ezekh sees wearable tech as an essential component of workouts and health plans. Kollins highlights the two benefits of aligning tech with your physical activity.

Today’s future is all about data. Getting an annual physical is essential to maintaining personal health, but staying unaware of your health status for the remainder of the year is not beneficial. Nowadays, instant gratification is part of everyday life, including tracking our fitness. Wearable health devices, such as those that follow heart rate, calories burned, distance, sleep patterns, and blood pressure, provide vital health data in real-time. Health information alone is useless if it cannot be interpreted correctly, so wearable technology is connected to apps. Individuals can use the apps to stay on track and provide information to health professionals. 

Kollins has over 15 years of experience working in the fitness industry and considers wearable technology the best tool available for anyone looking to improve their health and fitness. 

Engaging in one’s health is the most immediate benefit of infusing a digital fitness tracker into a daily routine. Wearing a smart health watch or ring daily encourages you to maintain a balanced lifestyle by keeping active and eating healthy. By allowing people to track their health trends and progress, coupled with the support of professionals, fitness professionals can provide a new dimension to their businesses.

Our Favorite Perfect Portable Speaker For Workouts, Pool, Home Gym, More!

March 20, 2022

OC Acoustic‘s Newport resembles a baseball sliced in half, a space-age dome or just something cool, modern and cute…but it’s a powerful Bluetooth speaker that plugs directly into an electrical outlet, freeing up counter space and adding a clean appearance to your space. Think: kitchen, workout room, bathroom for a tub serenade.

She might be compact but the Newport pumps out a powerful sound for such a small speaker, thanks to countless hours of research and fine-tuning that results in sonics that contradict its small form factor.

A “Party Mode” makes it easy to spread the music across multiple speakers with a push of a button. Up to 50 speakers can be added to the single stream, as long as they are within range and sight of the source’s Bluetooth transmitter. Also, each Newport Plug-in speaker includes a USB charging port for added convenience.

I am adoring my white with beige speaker face. So chic. I’ve got it in my kitchen right now, which was a major missing link for me. I also take it to the garage where my little home gym is, connect to my phone and I have WHOPPING sound barreling out of this small, pretty device. LOVE!

This little cutie is the perfect gift for someone (or yourself!) – Hard the beat price point too ($79).
