As a proud Korean American and member of the LGBTQ community, Kristen’s self-expression is represented through one-of-a-kind flavor profiles and curated names; Shine (kumquat rose ginger), Bliss (sour cherry pink peppercorn licorice), Seoul(hibiscus lemon balm raw honey) and Earth (smoked mushroom umami).

“I’m thrilled to unveil my line of aperitifs inspired by my passion for food, the many journeys of my life, and my Korean American heritage. A family of four aperitifs, each have its own story to tell pulling from specific memories and moments that I cherish. It’s an honor to share my stories with you.” – Kristen Kish

Co-created with Yobo Soju, levering soju as its base, Yobo_Kish is crafted from all natural ingredients with no artificial additives, no artificial colors, and is well balanced at 21% A.B.V.

Glutathione: The Secret Behind Auro Skincare

October 26, 2022

The Auro GSH™ Antioxidant Delivery System, a patented, first-of-its-kind technology, optimizes antioxidant absorption for transformative skin repair

Every day, the skin is attacked by oxidative stressors – also known as free radical damage – like UVA and UVB sun rays, pollution, and severe weather, to name a few. Glutathione (GSH), often referred to as the “Master Antioxidant,” is a naturally occurring tri-peptide amino acid that is produced in every cell of our bodies and recycles all other antioxidants to provide maximum detoxification of, and protection from, free-radical damage. Unfortunately, as we age, we stop producing enough Glutathione to sustain adequate levels.
 

Before now, it has not been possible to deliver such high doses of Glutathione, or other antioxidants, to skin in a way that was absorbable for maximum benefits. The Auro GSH™ Antioxidant Delivery System, discovered and developed by pharmacist and Auro founder Dr. Nayan Patel, is a patented, first-of-its-kind solution to this challenge.  Powered by sub-nano technology, it delivers antioxidants, like Glutathione, Vitamin C, Resveratrol, and more, to the skin in a more potent way than ever before. Auro Skincare’s four new products launching this month harness this technology to help users improve the look of fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, dullness, dehydration, uneven tone, and texture.

 AURO skincare is paving the way with a protocol of ultra-potent antioxidant formulas powered by the patented, first-of-its-kind Auro GSH™ Antioxidant Delivery System.

I just started my regime, and I’m already INTO IT. First off, this isn’t your mama’s skincare. AURO is the real deal – think sulfur smells and ingredients that mean business. Which of course, I love.

“Glutathione, the Master Antioxidant, is vital and essential for defending skin from the aging effects of oxidative damage caused by environmental stress. The patented, first-of-its kind Auro GSH™ Antioxidant Delivery System, developed by pharmacist and Auro founder Dr. Nayan Patel, provides skin with Glutathione, and other antioxidants like Vitamin C and Resveratrol, in a deeper way than ever before.”

THIS CAN SAVE YOUR DOGS LIFE AND YOU NEED IT RIGHT NOW

October 15, 2022

If you own a dog in Los Angeles, then you’ve probably heard and read a ton of harrowing stories about coyotes snatching dogs from backyards, attacking them on residential streets, and stalking pups on hikes. It’s out of control. I see coyotes daily, on the sidewalks in the city – they have come down from the mountains into residential neighborhoods and are utterly fearless. They can jump and scale up to around 16 feet, right up and our fences.

I have grown so terrified that I get anxious when Lolo wants to hang out and play in my yard. I used to let her hang out there all day, but now, after two friends losing their animals – a god and a cat, to coyote attacks, I don’t even let her out.

A friend sent me a link to Coyote Vest and I truly lost my mind with the genius of this product. I thought to myself – I need EVERYONE TO GET ONE!  The vest and collar are literally saving our dog lives. It doesn’t hurt that the vision of a pup in one of these is the most punk rock bad-ass coolness I have ever seen. I literally can’t get over the cutness.

I keep the Coyote Collar on hand, everywhere. By my back door for when Lolo goes out to pee outside. The collar and vest is for dog walks and hikes. I am obsessed.

Check our more about this most genius invention below – and please enjoy these delightful photos I pulled from their website. If you’re looking for the absolute perfect gift for a doggie parent – look no further. The collar is a no-brainer and a great piece too, at $20. How about this for a doggie stocking stuffer!

DESIGNED TO PROTECT

Are you concerned for the safety of your dog? It’s a dangerous world where coyotes, aggressive dogs, and even birds of prey can injure or kill your small dog in the blink of an eye. We know because it happened to us, and that’s why we developed our patented CoyoteVest. Its purpose is to help slow down or prevent a surprise attack and give you enough time to react before a serious injury occurs. The CoyoteVest gives us peace of mind knowing that our dogs are not utterly defenseless.

While nothing can protect your dog completely, the CoyoteVest offers multiple levels of protection that can help. The unusual appearance makes your dog look strange in the eyes of a predator and may cause them to hesitate before attacking. If they do attack, a formidable array of shiny spikes defends the back and the neck – which is where most injuries occur – and the vest is made with stab-resistant materials that can withstand sharp canine teeth.

ENDORSED BY VETERINARIANS

Veterinarians around the world endorse and use the CoyoteVest for their own dogs.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMFORTABLE

The CoyoteVest doesn’t slow your dog down or impair their ability to run and play. It’s easy to take on and off.

STYLISH AND BRIGHT COLORS

The CoyoteVest is available in yellow, red, pink, blue, tan, turquoise or safety orange. We make protection look good.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

The highly visible CoyoteWhiskers and the sturdy HawkShield help protect against dangerous predators.

CoyoteVest

The original stab-resistant CoyoteVest that attaches with straps and snap buckles.

SpikeVest

All-around stab-resistant protection  that attaches with with wide velcro flaps.

CoyoteWhiskers

Bright nylon bristles on the back of the vest can make predators hesitate.

Hawkshield

Stab-resistant shield protects against sharp talons and provides a chance to escape.

 

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.

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,

About H2O Audio
