This Will Save You From Suffering Motion Sickness Ever Again

September 21, 2017

My son is a puker. He pukes on long car rides. Flying to grandparents in Canada or NYC is hell for anyone sitting next to us. There is vomit. The whole time. When we went to Catalina – the boat getting there was a disaster. We try Dramamine, and those pressure point bands do nothing.

We all know that holiday season involves planes, trains, and automobiles even before the celebration with family and friends begins. But how can you feel festive when just the idea of traveling gives you motion sickness?

To combat the effects from motion sickness, a new technology has the answer to relieving holiday travel anxiety and let me tell you, if we travel anywhere I am glueing this to my son’s wrist.

The ReliefBand,® is a wearable, drug-free, clinically proven device to alleviate the nausea associated with motion sickness. The reusable device works within minutes helping you arrive at your destination calmly and ready to enjoy yourself.

The Reliefband® uses accurately programmed pulses with highly specific waveform, frequency, and intensity to stimulate the median nerve on the underside of the wrist, the Reliefband® taps into the body’s natural neural pathways to block the waves of nausea produced by the stomach.

This the first in a new breed of over the counter devices called a “treatable” – a wearable device to actually treat a condition rather than just monitor symptoms or activity.

This is probably the best Christmas present I could give to our family, and to all those strangers on planes sitting anywhere in our vicinity.

You’ll Never Guess What This Device Does!

September 19, 2017



drumroll…

What if we said : A FULLER POUT WITHOUT THE INJECTIONS…A NON-INVASIVE LIP PLUMPER?…would you believe us?

Welp, that is what it is.

JUVALIPS is here

According to Instagram, the millennials have called it:  Plump asses and full plumped lips are now the norm.

But seriously, why would any young woman spend her hard earned money on overpriced fillers and lip injections? Save that for us older women who are really battling with anti-aging fullness-depletion!

JuvaLips, is a perfect way to see if this is even right for you. You may prefer your natural pout. You may find plumper fits your face better. Who knows. But here is a very temporary, noninvasive way to find out.

The convenient, safe and natural way to plump- no more ridiculous looking lips or bruising while achieving your fuller pout and seeing if this is right for you.

The process lasts one minute to two minutes and can be done longer for stronger effects. It works with suction to the lips that boosts blood flow into the capillaries of your lips and also minimizes the fine lines around the lips. This is the part that speaks to us too, as years of smoking, sun and aging certainly create unsightly lip lines that can cost a ton to manage.

The sleek design comes in a compact size so it is easy to take on the go for touch ups and travel.

JuvaLips is battery powered with a soft contoured fit that provides a gentle comfortable seal and comes with a removable mouthpiece for easy cleaning as well as replaceable felt liners that apply equal pressure on the lips. The pushbutton control provides consistent treatments for each use as the pressure regulated pump gives safe and reliable results.

Purchase includes:

  • JuvaLips Original lip plumper device
  • Removable mouthpiece
  • Microfiber carrying bag
  • Two AAA batteries

Also includes 5 replacement pads, these pads last for hundreds of uses and are available for purchase.

The Luxury Wine Gift You Need To Send This Holiday Season

September 15, 2017

Behold!

The 2017 HALL & WALT Holiday Gift Guide

From Napa and Sonoma Counties

Listen. There are two things I only ever want as gifts. Ok, three. Massages, candles and wine.

It’s just around the corner. Gift season peeps. And get used to it cuz it aint going away until Jan. 1, 2018. Before you know it you’ll be figuring out what wine goes to whom for Thanksgiving and so on. If you’re a parent, then I’ll meet you at the kitchen island with your besites, scarfing candy corn and washing it down with Pinot just before you hustle out to go trick-or-treating.

Enter HALL & WALT.

This Napa/Sonoma county sourced Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir Holiday Gift Sets are inspired by a pursuit of classic varietal flavors. And we at GLA are all about the pure classic note.

For HALL, known for producing big, bold Cabernets, the sets are all about quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet.

The WALT Pinot Noir brand focuses on wines of a place, with fruit sourced from up and down the California Coast. WALT Single Vineyard Pinot Noir wines allow pinotfiles to be introduced to vineyards that span 1,000 miles as far South as Santa Barbara, all the way up to Willamete Valley in Oregon.

(Road trip anyone? Wine tasting? Whatdaya say? I’m in!)

Check out the stunningly curated gifting options, send them directly to lucky lovers, friends, bosses and co-workers and for the love of the wine gods, order some for yourself. The boxes are stunning (fyi!).

Also, by all means – this wonderful company will work with you to curate and personalize a gift.

Becoming a member will knock down prices too, of course.

Above is a myriad of gift sets perfect for the novice wine drinker to the ultimate Cabernet and Pinot collector.

One stand-out set includes flagship wines from both HALL & WALT in the Heritage Set.

The 2014 Kathryn Hall Cabernet exudes warmth and allure with enticing aromas of sweet dark plum, cocoa powder, and dusty earth. This wine is paired with 2015 Bob’s Ranch Pinot Noir for the set, a single vineyard Pinot Noir that showcases Wild blueberry nuances, crushed rock, and hints of truffle to create this firm, spicy oak structure and focused palate. 

I think I just fainted!

Sets will be available for purchase at both (www.hallwines.com) (www.waltwines.com) next month.

Book this page and you are good until 2018!
